No, no. I'm asking about Maul's cloak.RK_Striker_JK_5 wrote:He posted:Cpl Kendall wrote:Eh?RK_Striker_JK_5 wrote:"No ship that small has a cloaking device!"

It's mentioned in the Databank and, IIRC, the TPM ICS

And it cloaked itself onscreen, too.

Re: Star Wars Cloaking Devices
There is no proof I'm aware of in the films, novelizations, or scripts of the films regarding a cloaking device for Maul's little ship. That would also introduce a contradiction with the "no ship that small" line. Even in the case of "Cat and Mouse", Anakin notes that ships as small as the 135m prototype don't usually have one, and that's a lot bigger than Maul's wee vessel.

Re: Star Wars Cloaking Devices
I distinctly remember the ship cloaking while approaching a planet... but I will admit my mind is not the sharpest tack in the drawer. As I don't have time tonight, tomorrow I'll watch through TPM and see if his ship does, in fact, cloak. If it doesn't, than I apologize... and request a mental reboot.

There is, however, proof that the ship had a cloak from the Databank article I posted.DSG2k wrote:There is no proof I'm aware of in the films, novelizations, or scripts of the films regarding a cloaking device for Maul's little ship.
Which shows that Needa was evidently unaware of the device on Maul's ship.That would also introduce a contradiction with the "no ship that small" line.
And thus the problem is solved - they're rare, and most cloaks are of the type seen in the Thrawn Trilogy and the Hand of Thrawn duology, which exhibit numerous differences to the one shown in this episode. So rare, in fact, that Needa wasn't even aware of the existence of such devices.Even in the case of "Cat and Mouse", Anakin notes that ships as small as the 135m prototype don't usually have one, and that's a lot bigger than Maul's wee vessel.

Besides, if you look it up, she does indeed have a cloak and does decloak in TPM.

FFS, you'd think it would be easy to find a clip on Youtube, but it's all fan shite.

Not from what I can see, at least in the scene of the ship approaching and landing on Tatooine. 7:25 onwardsstitch626 wrote:Besides, if you look it up, she does indeed have a cloak and does decloak in TPM.
Evidently Maul didn't feel the need to use it then, although he probably did to get of Coruscant.
