I clicked on random wookiepedia links to find that there was invisibility soap in star wars. http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Shadowroot_soap Jesus christ the character arc on this Ewok Shaman's rise to glory then fall. http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Logray He does a lot of great things, then suddenly... "After the Battle of Endor, Logray was exposed as a coward and a bully. Chirpa ousted Logray, appointing Paploo in his place. Furious, Logray retaliated by placing a curse on the village, Paploo enlisted the aid of "the Golden One" in a ritual to remove the curse. Logray went into exile, and the Ewoks refused to speak his name ever again. He was even stricken from the village "Songs of Remembrance" as though he never existed."

Does this stuff have to have appeared in an EU novel or can random people just make poo poo up?

I think that's from the Ewok movies or the Ewok cartoon, both of which Lucas was involved with and so isn't even considered EU. That's the best part of this dumb Lucas-centric continuity: the Star Wars Holiday Special is supposed to be treated with the same level of credibility as Empire.

silvergoose posted:There were billions of people on Alderaan. According to the New Jedi Order series Coruscant has roughly 1 trillion at least marginally documented citizens plus whatever sub basement mutants get written in to a particular story. It's really funny because they talk about how the Yuzhun Vong occupy the planet despite there being 900 billion refugees hiding literally everywhere under their feet and face little to no resistance.

The first 10 minutes or so are entirely in unsubtitled Wookiee. Chewbacca's dad watches Wookiee porn. Carrie Fisher sings a bad song. Bea Arthur is the cantina owner and sings a less bad, but still bad, song. The Boba Fett cartoon and the Harvey Korman bits are really all that's not really bad.

He was in a pretty bad car accident after the first film and needed surgery afterwards, that's why the first thing that happens to Luke is he goes out in the snow with his face covered up then gets hosed up by a wampa.

As this thread gravitates back towards the defense of the wholesale creativity black hole that is the SWEU, I am delighted again with (Disney necrotized) Lucasfilms stating the old EU is non-canon. So long, thanks for all the masturbatory self-inserts and moronic interpretations of magic bacteria power limitations! But. There's a darker truth, and a darker future. The old EU is out, but these merchandising whores sure as hell aren't going to discourage a new one from erupting, like an ignored pilonodal cyst on the Wookiee-like furry crack of an average fanfiction author. This new EU will be incubated in the vile, pederastic ichor of the Internet-emboldened furvert, the brony, and the maladjusted 'social justice warrior' who is just waiting to bring Darth Ableism into the world. The King is dead, long live the King.

His name is Garindan and they kinda were quote:Over the years, Kubaz gained a reputation as expert spies and slicers, and would sometimes work for criminal organizations. During the Cold War and later Great Galactic War, Kubaz were recruited by the Galactic Republic as intelligence operatives. During the Cold War, a band of Kubaz spies working for the Republic operated in the jungles of Dromund Kaas before being driven out by Imperial forces.

Blistex posted:loving hell! Looks like it quote:Aqualish had a reputation for being nasty, crude and aggressive, and generally pursued off-world careers as mercenaries, bounty hunters, and pirates. One of the most infamous such Aqualish was the smuggler Ponda Baba. (Ponda Baba was the one from the movie) One of the EU books I managed to read was a short-story anthology defining a long and detailed backstory for like every single background alien in the Cantina scene (there was also one for the bounty hunters in ESB and Jabba's Palace in ROTJ). Devil alien guy, wolfman alien guy, giant furry four-eyed alien guy, little fruit-bat-looking alien guy, the douchey guy with the sideburns that Obi-Wan talks to for like a second, the twins with the huge piles of tight braid on their heads, the guy with the head that looked like a car seat (Ithorians are The Hippie Species), the guy with the hosed-up nose smoking a hookah, everyone.
