worst star wars race

[kained&able]

the leader pissed me off as well, to be honest. and the empire was all jar jars fault and seeing all the jews get blamed for jesus it stands to reason that all gunguns suck.

True, but there is speculation that they and ewoks are distantly related.

Can't see it myself. Either way, they definitely lived on different planetoids.

always liked them things that had two headtail- looked a bit like dredds.

one was a jedi

 

[kained&able]

The Wookies, and I'm sure Santino will correct my spelling, lived on Kashyyyk.

i thjink they did yes but didn't they get exhiled to endor or some shite after the empire took over.

I can't be arsed to check but i'm fairly sure im right.

Twi'leks, you div.

 

[kabbes]

Could be. But then, where are they during the events of ROTJ? The Wookiees were firmly anti-empire, so they would be a natural ally for that battle. It sounds like it could be just another case of Empire propoganda.

they're well fit

 

[Santino]

Wookiees are from Kashyyyk, where I spent some of yesterday killing them through the magic of my PS2.

Artistically, Ewoks are derived from Wookiees - they are just small-downed Wookiees with the name reversed - iee-Wooks. But diegetically they are completely distinct.

 

[Santino]

Wookiees live on Kashyyyk between Star Wars and Empire Strikes Back as seen in the Star Wars Christmas Abomination.

 

[kained&able]

i have decided im wrong and the wookies just helped out with the battle of endor and so had a command post there for a bit or something.

[kabbes]

Ah yes, true. And the Star Wars Christmas Abomination, abomination though it is, is considered cannon.

Incidentally, do you like the use of two lots of repeated words separated by commas in that sentence?

The Wookiees didn't help out with the battle of Endor. At least, not except Chewbacca.

IIRC correctly (and this is off the top of my head) wookies were hunted and enslaved by The Empire, who made use of their 'blood bonds' to make them into slaves by saving their lives, or something.

Wookies spread throughout the galaxy. Some of them, like chewie, escaped slavery and rose above the blood bonds, but others, like one of KOTR2, simply became mercenaries, who would fight for the highest bidder.

It is definitely something along those lines, anyway.

More than I do the misuse of the word 'cannon'.

 

[kabbes]

For the record, Wookiee has two "e"s.

Han Solo rescued Chewie and that is why he works for him.

Canon then, you bastard.

 

[Dillinger4]

Han Solo rescued Chewie and that is why he works for him.

Yes, that's it.

But chewie strikes me as somewhat more 'enlightened' than other wookies I have encountered. I would not describe it as a 'master-slave' relationship, anyway.

 

[Kanda]

The Kessel Run.

 

[Santino]

In the Christmas Abomination the Millennium Falcon has no lights and dials in the cockpit. It's just two chairs.

 

[machine cat]

this explains the species found on Endor

no mention of wookiees

 

[Santino]

He's Han's conscience. And his dog. George Lucas used to have a big dog who sat in the passenger seat of his car and that's what gave him the idea for Chewie. And the dog was called Indiana, thereby being the only dog to inspire TWO famous cinema characters.

well thats put me in my place.

You're forgetting about Scarface Gump.

 

[upsidedownwalrus]

Not to mention the extremely dubious japanese stereotype for the Trade Federation leaders (Nute Gunray was it?)

Yeah - I wasn't anywhere near as offended by that as by Jar Jar though.

Incorrect - my dog inspired Robocop and Terminator.

 

[upsidedownwalrus]

gungans or that thing that sings the song in jaba's palace

on a different note, Tweliks are by far the fittest star wars race

That fucking Gungan king played by Brian Blessed was absolutely dreadful, although he didn't appear to be a racist stereotype, just an irritating cunt.

 

[Dillinger4]

*ahem*

The correct way to spell it is Twi'lek.

 

[upsidedownwalrus]

True, but there is speculation that they and ewoks are distantly related.

Originally Endor was going to be all-Wookie, but they fucking changed it to make it more kiddie appealing

Fucking nuts as all the kids in my school loved Star Wars ages before ROTJ came out anyway.

ROTJ would have been the best of the three without the Ewoks - in many ways it's the best film; the Jabba's Palace scene and barge fight are absolutely mint, the final battle is awesome, the Emperor and Vader's redemption are incredible and the forest battle would have been absolutely amazing if it had been all Wookey.
