"Yub, yub, Commander."

Speaking as a lifelong fan of Star Wars, I have to say that was the stupidest article I've read about anything yet today, I've been reading the politics tab.

What,no Gaunganese Jedi?

"Meesa feel the powah of the Force now!"

Wasn't there a bunny rabbit or a squirrel or something that became a Jedi? He was a student of Yoda's and I'm ashamed to remember this.

8.) Skippy the Droid
In Star Wars lore, there exists the legend of Skippy, a Force-sensitive R5-D4 unit who caused himself to malfunction so that the Jawas could sell R2-D2 to Luke Skywalker.

Wat?

How could a Jedi Ewok possibly be considered weirder than the Jedi Hutt in the article? Jesus christ they can barely move, whereas ewoks actually had some pretty crafty war skills, demonstrated in the movies.

For that matter, how did Hutts exist as a political force in the Galaxy at all? It would be like if Rush Limbaugh wielded actually power waiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit a minute.

When ones starts digging into the basement of Wookepedia, the whole thing really starts to fall apart.

This is one of many differences between Star Trek and Star Wars. And why JJ Abrams should be making Star Wars movies and not Star Trek movies.

Ed Grubermann: One Bad Apple: Honest Bender: I don't see why a jedi ewok couldn't be awesome. Yoda was a small scrawny swamp rat and he was quite possible the most bad ass jedi portrayed in the movies (I haven't read any books).

Other than lift Luke's crashed X wing out of the mud Yoda never did anything conclusively badassed in the films.

Fight with Saruman Dooku : failure

Fight with Emperor : failure


He's an intergalactic AAA towtruck operator at best.

Hand over the highest infested Forse-potential ever seen to a greenhorn Jedi who's never trained anyone: Utter and complete failure.

Yoda is an idiot.

that wasn't his choice. The council refused training altogether (mainly on Mace's opinion)Qui-Gonn and then Anakin defied them and trained him anyway.

Yoda didn't lose to Dooku. He was kicking Dooku's ass before the count ran for it.

As for the Emperor, well he threw the senate at him. The whole senate!

The kind of crap in that article is why I couldn't read the EU books. I played the RPG and was a Felinoid Jedi I described as looking like Bill the Cat in Jedi robes. It's one thing to have that in a group of dorks having fun. Its quite another to put stuff like that in a book and expect it to be taken seriously.

Sadly, never had Force powers... that we know of

I think this is the character I was looking for... there was a Jedi that was just a brain in a jar.

Elata Tey?

Hutts are intelligent, crafty, very long lived, and keep growing as they get older. They can crush most humanoids, fighting like an enraged bull sea lion. On the other hand, they tend to get lazy as they get older, using hoverbarges to get around when other Hutts aren't around to see them. Their business ethics are rather loose, moreso than Ferengi, and they form family based crime syndicates based on drug smuggling, slave trading, and so forth.

Cyno01: Honest Bender: I don't see why a jedi ewok couldn't be awesome. Yoda was a small scrawny swamp rat and he was quite possible the most bad ass jedi portrayed in the movies (I haven't read any books).

There was an Ewok in Rogue Squadron for a while, IIRC he had to use prosthetics to fly his X-wing.

That was more of a running gag in Wraith Squadron, when they were impersonating a pirate band, and they used voice changers on the radio, and someone made Wedge Antillies' voice sound like an ewok. So for one big battle, he had to dress in all black, with an ewok puppet on his chest to maintain the illusion.. then later on someone found an actual ewok on Warlord Zinj's SSD who really could pilot ships, with a background that matched the fictional one they'd invented.

Now, after geeking out those last two posts.. no, I have not heard of any of the Jedi in the article.

Someday I'm gonna commission someone to draw a badass Jedi Master Splinter vs Darth Shredder comic.

They exist because Lucas decided to take a petty jab at Coppola's wildly successful Godfather films, and sadly that's all there is to it.

Be fair. I'm not sure what to say about that fight w/ Dooku, but you'd totally have to be a badass to even survive that fight with the Emperor and you know it.

I am quite ok with a Jedi/Sith wampa. :D

Yoda is portrayed a little bit better in The Clone Wars.... in one episode, he took out an entire droid battalion by himself.

Wow. Way to outnerd someone whos watched all 6 series and 10 movies of star trek in chronological order by episode in only 8 months. Bravo sir, bravo.

I must direct you to the Boobies in the whole thread.

Count_0: "Yub, yub, Commander."

Say what you will, I still consider the Rogue Squadron series my favorite Star Wars: EU novels. And by novel, I mean a modern equivalent of the dime novels from ages ago. Yeah, Corran Horn might have been a bit of a mary sue, but he did grow into something more.

To be honest, the Starfighters of Adumar was my favorite Rogue Squadron book. Why? Because it was old Rogue Squadron being badasses on a random planet that equated fighter pilots to gods.

As far as the article went, it was meh. They cited more non-canon sources than canon.

Kelvron: To be honest, the Starfighters of Adumar was my favorite Rogue Squadron book. Why? Because it was old Rogue Squadron being badasses on a random planet that equated fighter pilots to gods.

It also got Wedge back together with his Corellian girlfriend, whose name I can't spell from memory.

I thought Tyvokka was cool. I didn't like it when Lucas said no more Wookiee Jedi. As if Wookiee Jedi are anymore ridiculous than Gungans, etc.

wippit: Yoda is portrayed a little bit better in The Clone Wars.... in one episode, he took out an entire droid battalion by himself.

The CGI one or the Tartakovsky series?

That green rabbit man, whatever he was. I was given a Star Wars comic book with him in it, long ago. It didn't seem to have much of anything to do with Star Wars, save that the antagonist seemed to hate Luke Skywalker because Luke had droid friends. But Luke wasn't in the comic.

Bucky O'Hare is what I thought it was from the look of it and as far as I'm aware had nothing to actually do with Star Wars. Although I'd have to question who ripped who off over that one if the green rabbit is, actually, a SW character.

Any living thing can have the Force.

That does not automatically make them cool
or qualified
or trained
or talented

Of course, this guideline should be used for ANY skill or ability.

BTW...being a Force-user is not just about using Lightsabers or physical prowess.

Must be something else.. I think I had that comic book before 1980..
