some of the funnier people to have fleshed out back stories: the 6 breasted lady in jabbas palace, the guy that cries after the rancor dies i mean literally everybody that you see in star wars pretty much has a name in backstory, its loving insane.  for example, this guy is an assassin that drinks peoples brains through straws that comes out of his head. he really wanted to drink obi wans and han solos but it never really worked out for him. http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Dannik_Jerriko

Those stories were kinda cool if you didn't read them as some kind of addition to the canon but just as weird little stories inspired by weird looking aliens in a cool movie scene.

" I'm pretty sure he was given his "name" by the Decipher card game, which featured a LOT of tongue in cheek names/descriptions, probably because they had to make cards for loving everything. It's probably the source of a lot of Wookieepedia garbage, a one-off joke by a bored intern becoming enshrined as a Star Wars Fact. There was a random imperial soldier whose flavor text ended with "hasn't had a date in years", and I'm sure if I could find his Wookieepedia entry it would contain that information and also a detailed description of why. Probably he was too busy trying to steal the death star plans.

Do people not seem to get that the reason why everyone has a backstory is peak, "We gotta sell some fuckin' toys!" Instead of just making space assault Luke Skywalker with dinosaur friend, they made a figure of everybody because the demand was that high for Star Wars figures back in the day. Merchandising was so primitive back then the only thing they could think of was to add more characters.

The reason they have so many characters is the merchandising, yes, but I think the "everyone has a backstory" came much later. Timothy Zahn's Heir to the Empire was almost ten years after the original trilogy, and most of the EU crap came out after Zahn's books.

I wonder what Timothy Zahn's reaction was when that rebel pilot hosed a space weasel. Like, he came up with this unsexy alien race, and then another author things "Ah yes, my Mary Sure self insert character must totally gently caress this Bothan babe".

Originally I typed up a joke about a BoShek action figure and how stupid that would be but then I checked Google and they exist  Nah though, the reason all the cantina aliens have backstories is because EU writers are basically fanfiction authors, and they developed headcanons. For example an extremely bitter lady looked at those two aliens from that picture and said "I bet he's planning on loving her and never calling her again, just like that rear end in a top hat Danny, but the joke's on him because she's totally gonna murder him right after, with her razor-sharp tongue" and then she made it happen with her words. And a manchild looked at BoShek and went "His sideburns are cool. I bet he could do the Kessel Run in even fewer parsecs than Han, and I bet he's Force-sensitive too and Obi-Wan was just telling him to beware the seductive power of the Dark Side.  "

 Just for reference. I could be wrong on this but the whole reason half those characters have names is because of trading cards and action figures.

The most cringeworthy EU moment for me now is that until I read this post, when people were posting about BoShek I thought they were talking about Wuher.

So long, thanks for all the masturbatory self-inserts and moronic interpretations of magic bacteria power limitations! Star wars isn't marvel. they wont just hire a bunch of really bad tumblr/sjw writers. they will probably just hire mediocre and on occasion good sci-fi writers.

The Bible posted:What's the epic backstory behind that little roomba droid Chewbacca roared at and scared away? Did Luke build it or something? http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/MSE-6-series_repair_droid Who is the character from the original trilogy with the craziest screentime-to-wookipedia ratio. Basically, whoever has the least screentime with the longest Wookipedia article. Bonus points if their wookipedia article is longer than a real-life equivalent Sort of like how the USS Enterprise from Star Trek has a longer Wikipedia article than the USS Enterprise in the US Navy. Example: IG-88 the droid bounty hunter gets ~4 seconds of screen time, but has a wookipedia page with 2,840 words. Dog the Bounty hunter has a show spanning 7 years, but has a wikipedia page with only 1,600 words. Blistex fucked around with this message at 14:19 on Apr 30, 2015 |
