Theres something gratifying about knowing that every character in the original trilogy, no matter how brief their appearance, has a full and rich backstory.

well yeah, that fucks the military-industrial complex right up.

they basically set up shitloads of atmospheric scrubbers and used genetically modified organisms to recycle and clean the air. so i mean the fact people didn't suffocate on the planet seems like it was pretty good!

I know it was Kevin J. Anderson but Darksaber was a great and hilarious book where the good guys didn't have to do anything because the Hutts are such greedy fuckups that they took a bunch of shortcuts and hired lovely shoddy workers so their big weapon never fired.

sorry spoilers for a decades old non canon book

Zuckuss is from a planet with a methane atmosphere and can see the future by meditating and staring into the mist. 4-LOM is a protocol droid who reprogrammed himself so he could become a bounty hunter. He joined Zuckuss to try and learn how to see the future as well. 4-LOM may or may not be force-sensitive.
