I will be honest with you if you are expecting perfect sentence structure, you are not going to get it with me that's why I ask for help. I majored in Landscaping and buisness mgnmnt in college. English is not my thing!!! I thought I did take your advice by adding info on her lightsaber form and information on her culture. Oh well back to the drawing board.

Thanks
Cody

That's perfectly alright. As we said earlier, we'll strive to do the best we can possibly do. If english is not your thing, then just write the texts as well as you're able, and then I'll try to smooth them out a little. And also, we did receive an offer by a language buff to revise this book, didn't we? So no big worries in that department. I just thought I'd mention it in the interest of ever-going self-improvement.

And if you'll notice, I edited my previous post a good while ago removing the bit where I mentioned my advice on including erlier stuff. Upon re-reading the text I realized that you had indeed included that info.

Yes you did 8) And I will be making stylistic recommendations as well as proofreading.

In fact, in the next couple of weeks I expect to have time to get started on the AOTC GG. The semester is nearly over Very Happy

Good, very good. Thanks again for the offer.


Wizards released some more stats, this time a Clone Commando (save that for the Clone Wars Sourcebook) and Barriss Offee. However, when I compared these stats with her Ep2 stats from the Power of the Jedi book, it turns out they are very much identical, sometimes these being even lower than the previous. So, I say forget about those, ours are looking fine....

Boy, I'm in such a mood for making books... I just wished I had some free time....

I thought I'd pop in and let you guys know that I have started on my proofreading for the AOTC sourcebook. I can't project when I'll be done, but I'm now officially making progress.

That's very good news, Tejma. Thanks a lot.

I'd like to take this opportunity to address anyone who might be looking at the stalled status of this thread and worrying about the future of this book. I think I can speak for myself and Commander Cody, that we're just not finding enough time right now to tackle this project. This end of semester is the end of a big cycle for me, so I really have no time for this. I'd like to officially put this project on hold until probably July, when many things are expected to change in my life, and I think I'll find again the time to dedicate to these things.

So, you really must not fear, this book will be done, and it will receive the proper attention to ensure a quality project. But right now, let's put it on official pause, and we'll get back to it in a couple of months.

First Thanks Tejma, you are a hudge help, Second I just want to agree with Gry, This project will be finished, but my real life has been crazy, I do have a few bio's finished, but not posted. I have been proof reading them before posting. Sorry for not posting sooner but traveling away from home kills any any extra time I have, but that will end soon and I will have more time to dedicate to this project.

Thanks
Cody Very Happy

And now let me speak on behalf of all those who are waiting with great anticipation for this book:

Don't you guys worry one bit about the length of time it takes to put the book out. You've both already proven that you're committed to a high-quality product, and we all know this project will be WELL worth the wait. Anyone too new to know this for fact needs to hop over to the Fan-Made Sourcebook thread and download an example of your professional-quality materials.

I seriously doubt anyone with even a quarter of a brain will have any problems, except perhaps with a bit of patience. Beyond that, I'm sure any of us would offer up any help we could provide, even if it's simply a word or two of encouragement (read: NOT PRESSURE) to keep your spirits high while you finish out the semester.

From all of us, thank you for doing this work. I know you get great personal satisfaction from finishing each project, and I for one get great satisfaction out of READING each project! Wink

Well said.

To that end I offer my services to the project. I can write, proofread, and edit, but not draw (unless you like stick figure combat Laughing ). Please feel free to PM or email me if I can be of any assistance.

Yes, Jedi sKyler is perfectly right: since your previous efforts were of exceptional quality, everybody waiting for this new one should not pressure you, and patiently wait for the outcome (how Jedy code atuning is this! Wink )

Sorry for the delay in posting, summer has been to say the least crazy. Thanks for everyones patience. I left off doing bio's and that is where I am going to pick up. I know that my grammer and structure are not perfect, but oh well. I finish what I start! Here is Barriss Offee, I took the info used in GG15 and added to it leaving out some detail durring the Clone Wars, so if we go back and do a clone wars GG, we have info to use. Once again Thank You for all of your kind comments and patience.

Cody Very Happy

Barriss Offee was taken from her parents at an early age to be raised within the confines of the Jedi Temple and the tenets of the
Jedi Code. Despite rigid schooling in Jedi doctrine, the young Offee possessed an impulsive streak frowned upon by more conservative Jedi Masters. While she was reserved by nature, and not easily intimidated, there were times when she preferred wielding her lightsaber rather than following the protocols of diplomacy. Her attempts to overcompensate for her youthful exuberance sometimes gave her a cold demeanor. In combat, Barriss Offee specialized in tandem fighting. Her connection to the Force allowed her to perfectly synchronize her actions with that of her Master. A few months before the Battle of Geonosis, Barriss and her Master, Luminara Unduli, joined Master Kenobi and his Padawan Anakin Skywalker on a mission to aid in a border disputeon Ansion. During the mission, she found herself becoming infatuated by Anakin but did not let that bond become any stronger. When Barriss and Luminara returned to Coruscant, they were dispatched by Mace Windu to Geonosis as part of the team to rescue Obi-Wan, Anakin, and Padmé Amidala. Although Barriss was not in the final circle that was picked up by Yoda's gunships, she did find a way out of the arena along with Jedi Knight Pablo-Jil.
Shortly after the battle of Geonosis, Barriss and Luminara traveled to the ice-world Ilum to complete her training. On this barren planet the crystals needed for lightsaber construction could be found. In a secret Jedi temple, Barriss built herself a new saber with a crystal of her choice. As she constructed her lightsaber, the location of the temple was compromised. Separatist chameleon droids had infiltrated the temple and placed explosive charges in the tunnels. Barriss and Luminara fought them off, but were trapped in the resulting cave-in. This disturbance in the Force reached Yoda and the Jedi Master rescued them.
Afterwards, Barriss was sent to the planet Drongar; her first mission on her own. Drongar was the home to a valuable plant, bota, which was a miracle cure for almost anything and for any race, prized by both the Galactic Republic and the Separatists. Barriss, a gifted healer, assisted one of the medical units on the planet. Unknown to her, a spy was sneaking around the camp and several corrupt Republic representatives were shipping off bota illegally for their own profit. In a turn of events, she accidentally injected herself with bota, and the natural drug opened up the Force in new and powerful ways. Barriss found this quick way to power to be too addictive and knew that it would lead her towards the dark side of the Force.
After Drongar Barriss and her padawan Zonder were sent the Separatist world of Felucia. After the first attack, Barriss Offee and Zonder were imprisoned on the planet. Aayla Secura took the Intrepid to Felucia to capture Shu Mai and rescue Barriss and Zonder; meanwhile, the Separatists began their attack on Coruscant. With the help of her Padawan Ekria, Aayla rescued Barriss and Zonder from the Nikoe Detention Facility, resulting in a full-fledged ground battle. The Republic forces then assaulted Shu Mai's personal compound, not realizing Mai had already evacuated and was on Utapau. The Jedi infiltrated the compound, found Mai long gone, but managed to shut down the droid army remotely, letting Commander Bly's clone troops into the compound. Unfortunately, the compound was booby-trapped, and released toxins, killing many clones. The Jedi barely escaped before the entire compound exploded, but many clones did not. The trap also triggered a "poisoned well" policy to keep the planet from being of worth to the Republic, unleashing a highly poisonous biological agent into the water supply of Felucia's natural planet-wide aquatic distribution system, capable of infecting the entire planet in four days. Shu Mai had left behind forces ordered to fortify the planet's major water treatment facilities. They knew the only way to prevent the deaths of millions was to take over the facilities and contain the toxin. The Republic forces split into three forces, each headed toward a different facility: Barriss, Lieutenant Inc, and Lieutenant Barr to Har Gau; Ekria, Zonder, Drake, and Lieutenant Galle to Jiaozi; and Aayla and Commander Bly to Niango. Shortly after this offensive started each one of the Clone Commanders received an encrypted holo from Coruscant telling them to execute order 66. Simultaneously, Barriss was fighting alone, surrounded by droids. To her relief, she saw Lieutenant Galle's men seemingly rush to her rescue, but instead they shot her down.

Hey! We're back in the game!

I think I can get back to a little work on this book, seing as things are sorta settling down in real life. I'll organize what we have and see if we're still missing any stats. Keep up the great work with the bios, Cody.

Yes, and it's geat to be back in the game. Here is Kit Fisto, one small note I used his death out of the novel instead of the movie. Hopefully I will have Shaak Ti up tommorrow.

Thanks
Cody Smile

Kit Fisto
An amphibious Nautolan from the Sabilon region of watery Glee Anselm, Kit Fisto had head tentacles that contained highly sensitive ol factory receptors, allowing him to detect pheromonal expressions of emotion and other changes in body chemistry. Fisto could live in air or in water. He was an extremely powerful swimmer, and honed his Jedi abilities to take advantage of his aquatic origins. He had perfected difficult Force techniques that manipulated the movementof water for defensive or offensive use. Master Fisto practiced the Form I style of lightsaber combat (also known as Shii-Cho), and his lightsaber could be used underwater due to the two rare crystals it harnessed. He was one of the four Jedi commanders at the Battle of Geonosis, along with Mace Windu, Shaak Ti and Luminara Unduli. His former padawan, Bant Eerin, fought in the space battle overhead.

Sortly after the Battle of Geonosis, Master Fisto was selected to lead Republic forces in one of the first engaements of the clone wars. On Mon Calamari Master Fisto lead a joint force of Republic Scuba Troopers along with the Mon Calamari against the Quarren Isonlationist League. After a sound Republic victory, he lead the way for a new accord on the world that led to joint Quarren-Mon Calamari representation in the Galactic Senate. During the height of the Clone Wars, Fisto was the first Jedi to fight and defeat a new type of droid that was given the name JK-thirteen. With Fisto went Obi-Wan Kenobi, one ARC trooper, four clone troopers, and Barrister Doolb Snoil, a representative from the Galactic Senate, to Ord Cestus to negotiate an agreement to sell the "bio-droids" to the Republic. While en route to Ord Cestus, Obi-Wan constructed a lightwhip, which Kit wielded skillfully during the mission. Fisto during this mission took on the alias of a Dark Jedi named Nemonus to trick the Five Families. Near the end of the Ord Cestus mission, he battled Asajj Ventress in a fierce duel and lost. Luckily, Obi-Wan stepped in before she could finish him.
During the Second Battle of Coruscant, he, along with Mace Windu, initially provided help with the Red Guards defending Supreme Chancellor Palpatine. He even battled some of Grievous's IG-100 MagnaGuards atop a speeding Coruscant train while Windu battled Grievous, but they were still unable to save the Chancellor. After Palpatine was kidnapped, he and Windu piloted a cruiser in an attempt to recover the shuttle that contained the captive Chancellor. Day's later after his rescue, when Chancellor Palpatine revealed himself to be a Dark Lord of the Sith. Kit Fisto once again accompanied Mace Windu, Agen Kolar, and Saesee Tiin to confront him. Despite his prowess, Kit Fisto could not handle Sidious's superior knowledge and only seconds after he had crossed sabers with the Sith Lord, The Dark Lord severed his head clean off leaving it resting on his desk with his signature smile on his face.
