I seem to remember a number of requests for this one...
Okay, before we jump into this, I just have an opinion to voice: I do not like the current design of Satele Shan. It just seems to me that the writers and creators of the various forms of Star Wars media don't have faith in their ability to make a female character stand out on the basis of her character and personality, so they have to sex her up, put her in a skimpy, form-fitting outfit and give her an unorthodox lightsaber style to distinguish her. When it was just Bastila Shan, that was fine, but almost every heavily featured female Jedi has fallen into that mold, and I can't help but find it a little disappointing. I much preferred Satele Shan's original appearance, the Nomi Sunrider-style look, which strikes me as being much more appropriate for a Jedi character; feminine without being sexualized.
But that's just my opinion, so let's move on with the video.
