I believe that's what his name is. It's in one of the X-Wing books...

His sister was in the X-wing books as Wedge's XO, until Tycho was cleared, her name was Aril Nunb. I don't think Nien Nub was in them very much though.

Oh, and how about Lord Nyax. Everyone says he was boring, I thought the idea made a lot of sense. ;)

I knew it was something like that. Anyway, yeah I know he doesn't actually appear in the books but I remembered that he was mentioned because of his sister. She's introduced as "the sister of the dude who helped Lando blow the Death Star."

Trim down your sig. It's too large. Aim for 7 lines or less, as opposed to the 10 or so you have at the moment (at 1024x768 the KT quote covers multiple lines).

[EDIT] Is it better?
Title: Favorite Star Wars Character?
Post by: Dough with Fish on March 17, 2005, 10:56:45 pm
I got a little list, actually...

Wedge Antellis (sp)
Corran Horn (My all time favorite character)
Kyle Kattarn
Jan Ors
Talon Karde
Tycho (I forgot his last name)
Mirax Terrik (I think thats how her last name is spelled. She's Corran's wife)
HK-47
Delta 62
Dash Rendar

For some reason, I prefer the EU characters to the ones in the movies, although Wedge is in the movies, but not that much. Don't get me wrong, though the characters in the movies are good. I just think the development of the EU characters (especially Corran in "I, Jedi". Best Star Wars book EVAR!!!!!111!!!one1) is better and stronger than those in the movies.
Title: Favorite Star Wars Character?
Post by: Cobra on March 17, 2005, 11:10:22 pm
There's only one 'R' in Kyle's last name. ;)

My list (top being the best)

Han Solo
Luke Skywalker
Leia Organa Skywalker Solo (the Solo is for EU)
Yoda
Dash Rendar
Kyle Katarn
Admiral Ackbar
Lando Calrissian
Chewbacca
IG-88
Mara Jade
Anakin Solo (funny kid, ain't he? :D)
Jacen Solo
Jaina Solo
C-3PO
R2D2
Jawas
Tusken Raiders
etc.

You must mean 8t8-88...IG-88 was long dead by that point.

I might answer Corran, except he's a dead ringer for Victor Davion, and Victor has fallen from my grace of late.

So, Wedge Antilles, then. Followed closely by the Handmaiden and HK-47. Tycho Celchu and Garik "Face" Loran are tied for fourth, and Talon Karrde and Kell Tainer tie for fifth.

Whether or not that's true is a little vague. There were four (identical) IG-88 units, designated A-D. They took over an extremely mechanized world. IG-88B was sent out to learn about the galaxy at large and became a bounty hunter; however, he was destroyed by Boba Fett at cloud city, but not before he transferred his consciousness back to Mechis III.
IG-88C and IG-88D attempted to disable/destroy Boba Fett's ship, however, he destroyed IG-88C, who transferred himself to IG-88D, who was then shortly destroyed afterwards by Boba Fett as well. He was so shocked that he forgot to upload himself to Mechis III.
Meanwhile, IG-88A intercepted a freighter carrying the Death Star II computer core, killing the original crew and replacing them with robot substitutes. He then uploaded himself into the computer core, and destroyed the original freighters (with his robotic body onboard, I believe.)
As a result, he was inhabiting the Death Star II's computer core when it blew up..whether or not he transferred his consciousness is unclear.

End result: One or two IG-88 personalities were left on Mechis III post-BOE, and an IG-88 chassis was left on Cloud City. (Boba Fett destroyed IG-88B by detonating his own grenades inside of his chassis, but the outer armor apparently still survived; see the background of Cloud City in the Ugnaughts scene. ;) )

There was an IG-88 model in Young Jedi Knights, but it apparently did not have its original programming. It got lightsabered into several pieces, as might be expected.

But the droid in Jedi Knight was definitely 8t8-88.

And you see him for about one minute of total onscreen time. You actually get to know him in the EU.

And I forgot about Face! Yeah, Face Loran is hilarious. I like Corran too and umm... crap. What's his droid's name? The droid is cool. Basically just the entire cast of characters from the X-Wing books, come to think of it.

I thought Darth Maul was a very effective villain because of the different approach they took with him. Instead of the usual quiet, brooding evil that characterized most Siths, they gave him a crazed, rage-driven look, like my cat when he's pissed off. (Or when he wants to play...

Queen Amidala has nothing on princess Leigha! YOU HEAR ME! NOTHING!!!

First of all, amiedala needs tons of makeup to look good, while leigha looks good even when in a Death Star trash compactor.

Second, Leigha has a far better personally. She is far more mature and intelligent than Queen Amidala

Lastly, who could resist that downright groovey cinnamon-roll hairstyle?

Princes Leigha > Queen Amidala in terms of hottness. :nod:

Negative! Carrie Fisher doesent need gallons of makeup and have to be buried under thousands of dollars worth of ceremonial dress to look hot. Natalie Portman is fake and plastic, while Carrie fisher is a natural beauty.

Starwars.com Databank entry for General Greivous;

"From within the ranks of the Confederacy came General Grievous, a brilliant strategist unhindered by compassion or scruples. His lightning strikes and effective campaigns caused his reputation to grow in the eyes of a frightened Republic. To many, he eclipsed the threat posed by Count Dooku, the charismatic leader of the Confederacy's political battlefields -- Grievous was the face of the enemy.

A twisted melding of flesh and metal, General Grievous' body is a deadly weapon forged by the cutting edge developers of the Confederacy. Within the hardened carapace beats the heart of a remorseless killer. Grievous hunted Jedi for sport and proudly displayed his victims' lightsabers around his belt as trophies of his conquests. His unorthodox fighting form and mechanical enhancements gave him an edge in close-quarters combat, and his strategic ingenuity and flawless cunning rendered him almost invincible against the Jedi.

In the final stages of the Clone Wars, Grievous orchestrated a daring strike against the heart of the Republic. His flagship led a fleet of massive warships to Coruscant, where an immense battle raged in the upper atmospheres of the capital world. The fighting had gone on long enough -- one way or another, this strike would lay the foundation for the end of the war. Grievous was determined to be victor, and hoped to add the lightsabers of the most famous Jedi warriors -- Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi -- to his grisly collection."

Perhaps he was a human being injected with midi-chlorians, and then his limbs were amputated and cybernetic parts were attatched to amplify his powers?

Perhaps he is using lightsabers he stole from Jedi he killed?

Man I cant wait for episode 3! :D

Grievous was a Kaleesh (or something). IIRC, his shuttle suffered a major crash, pulverizing most of his body. The Separatists took him, salvaged his brain and eyes, and developed a Droid body for him. He can't feel the force, or use it.

He's also the most kickass lightsaber wielder you'll ever find. He uses 4 Lightsabers, (trophies, I believe, from when he took down a team of Jedi on Hypori, featured in the Clone Wars, Season 1). His arms can split in half, giving him a total of 4 arms, and he can even use his feet to grasp and wield lightsabers.

He's the Supreme Commander of the Droid Army, as well.

I personally liked Jar-Jar. Although he didn't contribute much to the story, he lightened up many situations and is quite funny in his own right.
Title: Favorite Star Wars Character?
Post by: Flipside on March 22, 2005, 05:25:15 pm
Too slapstick for my tastes. I guess the problem was that a New Hope took itself seriously from the top, JarJar was too light hearted for the context of the movie.

Look at the main Alien from the Original Star Wars, Chewbacca. Yes, he was a tall bearded man in a rug. Yes, he managed to be a major character in 3 movies without saying a word, and yes, he would have ripped Jarjar's intestines out within minutes of meeting him, as long as he didn't beat Han to shooting first.

I'm not peeved as much by Greedo's shooting first as I am about the fact that he missed at near point blank.  I mean he has about a full minute to set the shot up, he already has his weapon drawn and pointed in Solo's general direction (I think), and he obviously plans to fire.  Oh yeah, he's sitting about a meter away and keeps his weapon drawn the whole time.  Then when the big moment comes he totally fudges up.  I mean, what the hell was he aiming for, Han's ear? Did he simply start to doze off as they were finishing their conversation?  Whhyyyyyyyyyyyy....

Yes, he managed to be a major character in 3 movies without saying a word, and yes, he would have ripped Jarjar's intestines out within minutes of meeting him, as long as he didn't beat Han to shooting first.

His crossbow was the dumbest weapon ever. The Wookies deserved to be enslaved by the Empire for their obnoxious stupidity.

Did he simply start to doze off as they were finishing their conversation?  Whhyyyyyyyyyyyy....
Either it was a warning shot, he had serious vision problems, or Lucas is a retard. Take your pick, or as many as you want.

"Blaster induced piercing" must have been a requisite for collecting the bounty.

Thing is, Chewie was comic relief in a lot of ways, the 'Tarzan' Yodel etc, but he could still lift a StormTrooper bodily out of an AT-ST. If your going to have comic relief in a fight, at least have it 8ft Tall and capable of unscrewing your head ;)

Edit : Oh, and I don't doubt that the Space Battle around Kashyyk is going to be a screamer ;)

I hope lots of Wookies are brutally slaughtered by the ruthless Clone Army, and that we get to see the survivors put in shackles and made to do the back-breaking manual labor from sunrise to sunset that they deserve. :yes:

Why? Wookies are cool.

Because if the Wookies win, then we have to send someone to assasinate George Lucas.

Aren't wookies supposed to live for something like 200 years? I seem to recall Chewie being mentioned for this film?

I hope not, but if so, please please please, can we have a 'Chewie disembowels first' scene wth Jarjar ;)

Quite funny? :wtf:

"Icky poo!"

I rest my case.

Oh puhleese... the Jedi Academy Trilogy was the worst-written piece of bantha poodoo I've ever had the misfortune to read. Everything in those books was corny, overdone, and ridiculous. The writing style was bland to the point of making me feel violent against the editor who let it through. And the "finale"... :wtf:

What, you didn't think the prototype Death Star using its laser on a snubfighter or Kyp Durron being let free after wiping out an entire star system's population was realistic!?!  How could you!?! :eek:

My first Star Wars novel was a Timothy Zahn, with Admiral Thrawn in it, I'm glad I chose there to start :)

I liked Thrawn in particular, since he wasn't a force user. I always applauded Lucasarts/Zahn's common sense in doing that so soon after the fall of the Emperor as those books were set. A new force user appearing that wasn't along the 'Mara Jade' level would have seemed a bit odd.

Somehow, I've always liked Captain/Admiral Piett the most. he always had something the other Officers lacked....good luck.

"Lord Vader: hey, captain Piett ! I just killed Admiral Ozzel, so I promote you to the admiral."

What a lucky guy !

But then again, he happened to be at Executor's bridge when it exploded. To think of it, if he had NOT been promoted he might have lived longer...Two edged sword.
