Kind of, but Corran was more of a "new hotness" mary sue with his own droid and fighter and all that jazz, whereas Rey was more of a "bone collector" mary sue where she gathers up all the things cool and powerful about the setting all onto one character as the source of her mary-sueness

Chuck Buried Treasure posted:I miss the weird old Star Wars names. gently caress outta here with Finn and Rose and all that. Woody Harrelson in Solo was “Tobias Beckett,” that’s just a regular-rear end English name. Go back to everyone being named Zorp Tungo or whatever imo I’m guessing Tobias Beckett was picked for the western feel.

I just remembered there was some villain who's entire gimmick was just planting bombs in droids using a factory planet he controlled. Somehow he managed to kill an entire planet with this strategy.

They can gently caress till they drop as long as they don't form emotional attachments. Probably Yoda had a poster informing everyone of which specific sex acts that would nevertheless lead to the dark side.

quote:Kam Nale, also known under the alias "Elan Mak," was a Fluggrian male professional Podracer pilot who flew an outdated Kurtob KRT 410-C around 32 BBY, during the final decades of the Galactic Republic. The son of the crime lord Borzu Nale, Nale received his inheritance early when the Glymphid hitman Aldar Beedo murdered his father. Nale sought to avenge his father's death and vowed to track down Beedo, following him to the Outer Rim world of Tatooine, where Nale discovered that Beedo had entered as a contestant in the upcoming Boonta Eve Classic Podrace. Nale began to use the pseudonym "Elan Mak" in order to join the race without raising suspicions, all the while hoping to be able to eliminate Beedo by shooting him during the race. Legends was wild. I have zero memory of this character (which, trust me, is saying something) but he still has a full backstory involving murder and revenge.

I still remember all the podracer's names and can connect most of them to specific aliens and pods. Thanks, Episode I Racer. Some others: Rats Tyrell: famous tiny alien, explodes in cave with whole family watching. Podracing safety fund set up in his honour. Neva Kee: flew the pod with engines at the back. Tried to take a shortcut and disappeared, probably captured by Jabba. Dud Bolt: has a platypus nose and claws on his engines. Worked with Sebulba to fix races. Appears racing on TV in the background of AotC Ben Quadrinaros: is exactly the one his name suggests, comes back from his humiliation to become Sebulba's chief rival by AotC. Anakin had a poster of him in his room at the Jedi Temple, which is better characterization for Anakin than anything that's actually shown in the films. Gasgano: big green engines, tiny spindly alien with four arms. Comes in second after Anakin. Wan Sandage: also racing at age 8, but his species dies at age 10. Sad! Teemto Pagales: bulldog man, exiled from his home planet. Considered a sexy rogue by his people. Edgar Allen Ho fucked around with this message at 20:57 on Feb 13, 2020 |

I also played alot of Episode I racer (and Dud Bolt was my favorite for some reason) and I wouldn't say his pod racer's engines have claws as much as they are just giant electric razors.

Neva Kee and Wan Sandage never appeared in the movie. Neither did Bullseye Navoir, who looks like a teletubby and was my favorite pod for probably the same reasons the a-wing is my favorite ship

Supposedly to get your Star Wars name, you take the first three letter of your last name, then attach the first two letter of your first name, then for your second name, take the first two letters of your mother's maiden name, and attach the first three letters of the city you were born in. Also I'm honestly surprised there isn't a list of Jedi who went evil because their order insisted on them being emotionally dead automatons forever in service of the 'greater good' instead of it all "THEY GOT ATTACHED TO SOMETHING AND THEN IT MADE THEM GO EVIL BECAUSE EMOTIONS." I honestly wonder what path Anakin's plot might have taken had his backstory not been locked in stone by the time it started being told.

Edgar Allen Ho posted:Can droids participate in pod races? I'm not aware of any examples being shown/written about, but surely somewhere there is a podracing droid. Like the various forms of motor racing in our world, different podracing events would presumably be organized by different groups under different rules with varying degrees of formality. But from what we're shown, even major annual events with lots of pageantry and large crowds seem to be a pretty anything-goes type of situation. For example tusken raiders show up at the Boonta Eve race and start shooting at/killing racers and everyone just carries on. Plus racers are allowed to pretty much murder each other at will. I figure they're not going to split hairs over who's allowed to drive.

No you just take “Tim Tebow” and replace the Ts with a different consonant of your choosing
