They learn the language, make the armor, try to live like in the Traviss books, it's p. funny. i want to see these people. i imagine they do crossfit because it looks hardcore and is marketed as a warrior code and is equally dumb

Otisburg posted:keep up with the thread, according to that really bad author they are the ones who teach the padawans their lightsaber skills Oh ok. I had encyclopedic knowledge of the movie stuff at one point due to the card game but never the EU past a couple books. This is confusing lol Imagine if they made wraith squadron into a miniseries.

reminder that EU stuff is all folk tales and urban legends star wars people tell each other around the campfire, so it doesn't really have a bearing on anything and boba fett is just some dude who likes dressing up as them

I clicked on the legends explanation on wookieepedia and sure enough there's a lengthy explanation about it that is probably longer than the theological apocrypha slap fights that's been going on for hundreds of years

Maybe every character and object from the trailer will get elaborate backstories and turn out to have saved the universe. Even the faceless stormteoopers.

5er posted:He was a fat guy named 'Porkins'. His presence in the movie was a lovely pun. Some jackass was really inspired to try to develop a lovely pun joke that lasted barely enough time to bother remembering, into a 'kickass smuggler' backstory? This is kind of pathetic. Why is Porkins in the Lego x-wing? There's an R2 droid and a Luke, but instead of Wedge or Biggs or Garvin Dreis there's Porkins lol http://shop.lego.com/en-US/X-Wing-Starfighter-9493

Little kid looking for a toy to ask Santa for Xmas, sees the row upon row of leftover toys since its Xmas eve. He looks behind all the Luke sky walkers and Han Solos and Darth Vader and looks disappointed. His parents grow confused. Don't you want these instead? Pointing to the famous characters. He shakes his head. I'm sorry son, why don't we ask Santa for one of these aliens instead? Maybe this man from cloud city with the ice cream maker? He's popular, right? No, all I want is the fat x-wing pilot. All my friends have him, he's really popular. Well I'm sorry son, there doesn't seem to be one. He tearfully pulls out a piece of paper, looks down at the god tier that only has one name: Jek Porkins, and looks a few lines down to Tier 1a. He looks over once more and sees that little green alien that shot at Han, knowing he's got a rough year ahead of him.

I just wish there was more of a feeling behind Yoda's hermitage. If he hid not only due to being hunted down but as penance after realizing that those clone troopers weren't disposable people at all but that even he as a wise master didn't see that. Would've only taken like 30s of screen time.

Gammatron 64 posted:The Boba Fett action figure was a mail-away and came out before the Empire Strikes Back was released. Boba Fett also showed up in the holiday special. They hyped up Boba Fett as "the most feared Bounty Hunter in the Galaxy" and said he was this mysterious badass in the marketing, but he didn't do much in the actual movies. Also, he looks cool. Welp. After all these years you have put into words what I've always disliked about LOTR and Dune. I couldn't ever really figure it out but now I know. Those genealogies and over explained historical footnotes that nobody cares about right there. And you're punished for it if you don't look in one of the 50 appendices at the back cuz the book assumes you've memorized it already.

They were all drug deals, if my local Chili's is indicative. That tree is a drug tree

The Janitor did a brief stint as a bounty hunter cleaning up scum and villainy but even he was too extreme for Vader's request, so he put on a Trandoshan costume he found in the first Death Star compactor and went under the alias Bossk Lucky for Han, Fett got there first
