[edit] Talon Karrde: Fact or TTATOT?
From: what I want
Posted on: 00:24, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
Arguments for:
- It's true.
- Technically, it is a fact that a Star Wars character shares the first name of the person who sent the email. Coincidence or not, it's still an interesting fact that ties in with how Strong Bad made fun of his name.
- It is a coincidental fact that this aligns up, therefore it should at least get a mention
Arguments against:
- This is going into TTATOT territory here - there are numerous other Talons that could be found across many sci-fi sources, not just Star Wars.
- Not very many people are familiar with or aware of the Star Wars Expanded Universe.
- Strong Bad made the sender's name less like the SW character by adding the apostrophe. If there is a RWR here, it is on the part of sender, and we normally don't list references from senders' emails. And there's nothing from the sender's email that would otherwise suggest the SW reference.
- It's sombody's name, for pete's sake.
Additional comments:
- The first Talon in this Fact refers to the person who wrote this email.
- Talon is an actual word that may was used to suggest that the Star Wars character can grab items easily, as he is a smuggler.
