Who the **** is Atton "Jaq" Rand?

Post by Oyster Sauce »

https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Atton_Rand
Atton Rand, nicknamed "Jaq," was a pilot native to the planet Alderaan and one of the Lost Jedi who helped Meetra Surik defeat the Sith Triumvirate.
Atton Rand, nicknamed "Jaq,"[4][5] was born on the planet Alderaan.
Interestingly, the name "Jaq" is seen inserted between Atton's first and last names, but it is most likely in fact his original name, as both Kreia and he himself allude that "Atton" is not his true identity.
https://swtor-archive.fandom.com/wiki/Atton_Rand
Atton Rand, nicknamed "Jaq", was a veteran of the Mandalorian Wars and Jedi Civil War on both the Galactic Republic and the Sith Empire under Revan and Malak.
https://forums.obsidian.net/topic/33190-attons-name/
Atton's real name is Atton "Jaq" Rand.

Atton or by his nickname known as "Jaq"

Yoitsme108: ok I feel like ol Jaq is gonna murder me if I offend him.

(Jedi exile) Meetra: is this a place where people get offended?

Yoitsme108: I'm gonna be honest, most of the time or you know.... all the time. Yes.

(Atton Rand) Jaq: well don't offend me to that point.

Also, I headcanon young Jaq (before getting severely mentally ****** up during the War) as a bit of a wide-eyed "Gee Whiz!" idealist.

Lots of people put Atton "Jaq" Rand down for being a scoundrel-type character like Han Solo, but to me it's not like that.

With both Cad and Dash shooting 6x (at 30dmg per hit), it had plenty of dmg output, and the Houjix gave it good survivability, in addition to the CE-neutering provided by Bastilla. I'd probably drop Dash and work in Atton Jaq Rand now, but it seems like a pretty good OR Cad option, IMHO.

1. I know that Atton's real name is implied to be "Jaq,"

Am I crazy? Did I hop dimensions? I'm pretty fuckin' sure this guy has never been known as "Jaq".

The name "Jaq" comes from the Prima Guide. Fairly unreliable, but there it is.

It also just calls him Atton "Jaq" Rand for no apparent reason. There's no way this unexplained throwaway nothing line has led to ******* insisting on calling him Jaq for 20 years. I think the Merge is starting.

Some autist reads the guide and then updates a wiki saying his name is Jaq. A bunch of fans read the wiki, they all start calling him Jaq, the meme spreads.

Never once referred to as "Jaq" in the games. Every other source is therefore ********.
You may as well not bother replying to my posts if it's to argue anything except concrete facts or your personal opinion. I still probably won't see it.
Reject your retarded-wing political programming and learn to think.

J as in "jalapeno"
A as in "aisle" (not pronounced)
Q as in "qi"

Therefore, phoenetically: "huh-ch"

Atton "Hutch" Rand.
It's easy!

It's a really tiresome bit to try to gaslight people into thinking he wasn't always known and referred to as Jaq.

This one I'm okay with since the names of the AI are based on the legendary swords from the Matter of France.

I guess I can understand where they went with this. Joyeuse, Cortana and Durandal are all names of swords from La Chanson de Roland.
