Or that Thrawn is actually a pretty dumb character and stands out because "pretty dumb" is a huge step up from the rest of the EU's "magnificently dumb?"

I like how the only two OT characters that lost to a prequel character are Tarkin and Bossk. OT has a much stronger bench going for them.

Signs fans suck
  • Yoda over Vader
  • Han Solo out in the second round to Prequel Obi-Wan
  • Luke Skywalker out in the second round to Yoda. Seriously, can you imagine Luke not winning this thing when we were kids (assuming you all grew up in the 80s like me)?
  • Emperor loses to Boba freaking Fett.

Well, the poll was hosted on StarWars.com and I'm pretty sure you'll find that in the movies and tv shows, there is only completely good and cartoonishly evil, with very little middle ground (I mean, Vader becomes good at the end of Jedi, but for the most part, everyone is either a hero or a complete dick. I mean, poo poo, even Uncle Owen had like, no redeeming qualities. Dude's only in like two scenes).

They only accept T-canon and above. :colbert:

An action figure depicting Willrow Hood was to be released by Hasbro as part of a The Empire Strikes Back-themed wave in the fall of 2009, despite four years of opposition from Hasbro Design Director Brian Wilk. The figure was eventually released by Hasbro as part of "The Legacy Collection" of action figures.

More than a Cameo... I think it was Tales of Bounty Hunters where it explained how the body ended up in that garbage bin.

Oh, and there were four versions of IG-88

3 of them were killed off, and the last downloaded his mind into the Death Star.

I think it is implied that got hosed up by Fett or something and his rear end was just dumped there because Cloud City has a top notch recycling program.

Here is a good Infinities idea, Threepeo was so hosed up Chewbacca hot wired him into that droids body and he became a bad rear end killing machine AND translator diplomat.

I never got that. He's a machine, shouldn't he be able to copy his mind into the Death Star without turning his body into an empty husk? Did his copy of Linux include only mv, no cp?

Here is the catch, He is more IG-88 than Threepeo. And it isn't done for comedy relief too.

And I aware it has been done. I'm trying to forget it.
