Smerdyakov posted:Ahahaha holy poo poo, I totally forgot about Dash Rendar. How many Han Solo derived characters are there in the EU? Talon Karde , Dash Rendar and Atton Rand for sure, but I'm guessing there's at least another half-dozen vest-wearing corellian smugglers out there. dash randar's existence is forgivable if he only existed for the video game. but yeah even when I was little, I wish they had just had it be han solo. there's no reason it couldn't have been han solo.

He wasn't a scientist, his nickname was the jizz scientist because his poo poo was so experimental. Little known fact: Despite a lengthy career on the Jizz circuit before ultimately taking his Sith vows (Jizz is just the first step on a slippery slope) he was actually classically trained and his Sith name was chosen due to his marvellous tenor singing voice. He instilled in Plagueis a deep love of the Calamari water opera and even Plagueis' traitorous student Sidious was known to enjoy such entertainments long after he had betryayed and murdered his master.* *Source - Some EU bullshit that is no longer canon you loving nerds. vvvv Also no longer canon freethought fucked around with this message at 02:45 on Jan 16, 2015 |

So I was reading wookiepedia to figure out why Chewbacca is a general in the battle on Kashyyk in the prequels and a lowlife in the OT and came across this line: Now wanted, Chewbacca wandered the galaxy, managing to evade the slave traders. One day, Chewbacca came across a wounded elf named Mala Mala and carried her off to the sick bay of a ship in which she received life-saving medical attention from a medical droid. After seeing that she was alright, the two parted ways, only to see each other years later. During his travels, Chewie gained many friends and even owned a ship of his own. there's loving elves??

Also, Lando couldn't have done it because some clumsy writer might have inadvertently ruined the precious, precious canon that exists between Empire and Return. It was much better to let them make totally new characters with lots of original attributes that remained consistent with the previous world-building.  Remember this guy? He fell off kinda hard, I wonder why he never became popular like Grand Admiral Thraw--  ...oh. Edit for emphasis: "...and he will become his apprentice and his grip on the galaxy will be supreme."

Even as a kid that never made sense to me. Xizor basically runs all the crime in the galaxy so.... yay for him? What does he possibly get out of becoming the Emperor's new right hand other than giving himself a boss when he didn't used to have one? Didn't stop me from making my parents buy his action figure of course

ALL-PRO SEXMAN posted:tbqh this is the only character trait that matters Man, you're crazy. Padme had that cool ship from Flight of the Navigator in the first one. Sure we didn't actually see Max but I just assumed he was a force sensitive who went on to steal the Death Star plans and he was at Endor too I guess. Plus how can you forget Obi Wan's ship from the second one? It had that circle thing for some reason and it was red I think. It had a sort of pointy front or something, right? Such an unforgettable design. Then there were those awesome ships in the third. They were like X-Wings but they had six wings. How come everybody called the Death Star a space station when it was obviously a space ship?
