Authors Comment:Like and is are very different in context. Elites were written to be honorable with a Knight/Samurai mix. Written by human writers/Developed by human gamers to be an enemy.
Each of us sees this in each Covenant race. If i were to take a gander it would be like some Fantasy races in space. Brutes are Orcs while Grunts seem to be like goblins. Elites feel like a Spartains(old0 Mixed with Samurai and Knights. So on so forth.
Sangheili are a separate race. Yet hold the ideals. So is a green apple not the same as a red apple. Different taste sure but it is an apple.
HALO Evolution showed a very japanese like environment. But it is open to intervention. So its a yes/no. Not being human i doubt they can be compared but they have traits that are close.
We all recognize those traits. Honor, Faith and Belief. They sound like a Paladin or a Knight even a Samurai.
Any ways i did not create them. So its an opinion.
Elites are Very interesting. They do show human like behavior. But to close ones mind completely shows on your part no real flexibility.
Pick up a history book sometime many of todays movies or books even games use composites or history of another people culture or race from Anchient times. or be more spesific in the comment. Also Elites are not Jedi. Thank you for commenting.

... why would you willingly quote the Star Wars prequels? WHY? Other than that abhorrence, not bad; a decent starting point. Try and stick at it, you'll improve. Don't just ditch it because people aren't reading - that shouldn't be why you're writing. I'd try and make your writing feel a little more alive. At the risk of breaking out a cliche, 'show, don't tell.'
Good luck anyway. Try and call them 'children' next time.
Authors Note:Not the same context. Youngling sounds more original. No i did not really rip off Star Wars. Children seems forced on such a race.
Youngling: Child or youngster who has not reached a mature age.
That i will not change. Elites are very Samurai like. Thus giving them a more violent outlook. It does not relate to Star Wars. They are much different from a Temple full of force wielding children. Who are rare in a Universe full of billions of people races or cultures.
Thank you for the comment but i feel its more reader Assosation with words.
A Samurai does not compare to a Sangheili.
