        So today we've got the last few stats from the latest issue of The Tales of the Jedi that we've reviewed, The Sith War 6: Dark Lord. So we've added the Taung to the Star Wars D/6 Species Section, & Exar Kun (Human Dark Lord of the Sith), & Ulic Qel-Droma (Human Sith Lord, 4000 bby) to the Star Wars D/6 Characters Section of the Site.

        So . . . the Taung are the Retconned explanation for the Mandalorians in Tales of the Jedi being shown to be an Alien Species, although elsewhere they're shown to be Human. This is the first time I've read up on them, and personally I'd explained away the difference by saying the Mandalorian raiding parties would recruit from other species wearing the mask to become Mandalorian, which does kind of match up with what we've seen in the Mandalorian TV series. But the "canon" explanation seems to be that the Taung were the original Mandalorians, who died out, and that the Humans took on their culture, becoming the current Mandalorians. Not really sure how I feel about it.

        Okay, I'm going to split the stats over 2 days again as there's a few, and some of them need a little more time spent on them than others, so today we've got from The Sith War 6: Dark Lord, Kalgrath, & Mandalore the Indomitable added to the Star Wars D/6 Characters Section, Mandalorian/Basiliskan Basilisk War Droid added to the Star Wars D/6 Vehicles Section, & Cays Dream added to the Star Wars D/6 Starships Section of the Site.

        There's a lot of characters dying in the most recent issue of The Tales of the Jedi that we're reviewing today, The Sith War 4: Jedi Holocaust. So we're splitting the update over two days to get everything covered, with all the Jedi covered tomorrow. Today we've added Aleema Keto (Human Sith Sorceress) to the Star Wars D/6 Characters Section, Oss Wilums Courier, Qrrrl Toqs starship, & Shoaneb Culus Starship to the Star Wars D/6 Starships Section, & Kemplex IX to the Star Wars D/6 Planets & Places Section of the Site.

        Because of the way I do stat's when running through a series, trying to cover only characters and hero ships in the last issue they feature (in case some new ability is revealed). Sometimes we end up with days like today, when only one character ended their story and nothing else new was introduced. So today as we cover The Sith War 3: The Trial of Ulic Qel-Droma while working our way through The Tales of the Jedi, we've added Vodo-Siosk Baas (Krevaaki Jedi Master) to the Star Wars D/6 Characters Section of the Site.
        The stats today are based on the older set which were already on the site and provided by K, a member of my gaming group. I think while he'd done a stellar job on covering the Jedi Side of the character, he'd neglected the skills, and that a Jedi Master should have some Persuasion, Willpower and Bureaucracy type skills, and a higher Scholar; Jedi Lore than he'd given him. However this doesn't replace the older version for anyone that prefers that one.

        And I'm back with the next part of The Tales of the Jedi, The Sith War 1: Edge of the Whirlwind. And today I've added Wall of Light to the Star Wars D/6 The Force Section, Odan-Urr (as of 4000 bby) & Rooks (Human Krath Captain) to the Star Wars D/6 Characters Section, Basiliskans Kyramud-type Battleship, Mandalorian Shaadlar-type Troopship, Koros Spaceworks Supremacy-class Attack Ship, & Atomic Compression Bomb to the Star Wars D/6 Starships Section, Kuar, & Foerost to the Star Wars D/6 Planets & Places Section, & finally, Mythosaur axe to the Star Wars D/6 Weapons Section of the Site.
        Internet problems held me back this morning while doing these, but Wall of Light took the most time to do, as I'm not sure about how balanced the power is, as I've got a feeling that it's overpowered and doesn't simulate what we saw happen in the comics. In play it essentially cancels an amount of a Sith's force skills equivalent to the Jedi who is using the power, but takes that Jedi out of the combat completely, so the Sith can still act normally, although in pain. This means that a Sith could still hack a Jedi apart in one on one combat, as the Jedi would be defenceless when using this power, but in a group of Jedi against a Single Sith, it would allow them to neutralise a portion of a powerful Sith's abilities.
        Anyway, have a read and let me know what you think. It feels like it could be a useful ability in a Campaign against a Palpatine level Sith, but I wouldn't want it to allow groups of Jedi to wipe out Sith without any real effort (a number of Jedi Neutralise his powers, while one last Jedi pops in and cuts his head off while he can't use the Force to defend himself).
        Oh, I've also left it deliberately vague as to how Force Points would affect use of this power, would a Sith using a force point be able to shrug off most of its effects? Would a Jedi using a force point overwhelm the Sith and cut him off from the force completely?

        A few additions today based on the last issue of this section of The Tales of the Jedi, Dark Lords of the Sith 6: Jedi Assault. Today we've added Dragon-bird to the Star Wars D/6 Characters Section, & Dragon-bird robot drone, Oss Wilums starfighter, Corellian Engineering Corporation S-100 Stinger-class starfighter, & Republic Fleet Systems Star Saber XC-01 starfighter to the Star Wars D/6 Starships Section of the Site.

        I'm a little worried that I'm leaving so many characters until the final few issues of Sith War, but if it comes to that I'll just split the updates over a couple of days to get through them all.

        Now, I've not been taking time off during the breaks between series of Tales of the Jedi, but I'm a kind of overloaded with work at the moment, and because of that I'm starting to feel a little burnt out. So I'm going to take a week off the updates before I begin Tales of the Jedi: Sith Wa, and I'll be back next Wednesday with a new review.

        Just a few additions from yesterdays review of Dark Lords of the Sith 5: Sith Secrets as we continue through the Tales of the Jedi comic series. We've added Tetan Servant Droid, & Tetan Torture Droid to the Star Wars D/6 Droids Section, & Satal Keto (Human Sith Sorcerer) to the Star Wars D/6 Characters Section of the Site.
        I've also got to say, that's a truly great picture of Nomi Sunrider on the cover.
