Favorite Obscure Star Wars Character

[SuperClerk]

Remember back in the day when Boba Fett was considered an obscure character? George Lucas put an end to that by inserting him any way shape or form. Staring at the camera in the New Hope Special Edition, flirting with a dancer in the new Jedi.....

Anyway, my faves are Lobot, the Dr. Guy in New Hope who messes with Luke in the cantina (He doesn't like you....), Porkins, and the weeping rancor keeper.

I'd have to go with IG-88, the robotic Bounty hunter from Empire... there are some great stories out there about him (published stuff, not fanfic) like one where his consiousnes was ready to take over the second Death Star right before it blew up...

Dengar, the bounty hunter from Empire with that diaper on his head.

Bib Fortuna, the Twi'lek that serves Jabba.

and the Max Rebo band, the guys in Jabba's palace.

I second IG-88. The book on him and subsequent fan fiction has been great.

BOSSK!

http://www.starwars.jp/character/image/bossk.jpg

He was only in Empire for a split second but i emember him being just so DAMN cool looking. I absolutely loved his action figure.

I to was a fan of Boba Fett as I think MANYof us were. Lucas probably broguht him into the limelight because of his huge cult status. I had my large Boba Fett figure always waiting in the dining room for me for dinner and he would protect us as we ate. Ahh, to be a kid again.

I like Garidan from A New Hope. He was that long snouted guy who ratted Luke and Ben out before they got on the Falcon.

Bossk is a good one, especially if you read the Bounty Hunter Wars.

My favorites are Admiral Piett ( the only one who Vader didn't choke out.) and that one tool on Hoth that looks at Leia and says " Two fighters against a Star Destroyer?!?"

I would have to say the Twi'Lek dancer that was fed to the Bantha.

Director of the C.Y.A. Society.
Field Marshal of the K.I.S.S. Army

[FiveB247]

I'm a big fan of the music group "Fingering Dan". (Band at the Cantina in A New Hope)

[SuperClerk]

One of my favorite stories is the one about the creature outside of Jabbas palace who slurps up the fly thing. The story was that that creature was plotting a way to take over the galaxy. It always cracked me up that a stupid little creature like that would take over the universe.

The bounty hunters are all faves of mine: Dengar, Bossk, IG-88, Zuckuss & 4LOM.

From the subsequent novels, I'm a fan of Mara Jade, Talon Karrde, Winter, and the android babe Guri.

Oh, and Wedge Antilles is the muthafucking MAN.

Zuckuss is an insectoid bounty hunter of few words. He is a short, stocky being with a grubby robe, and a number of breather tanks affixed to his head. He was one of the deadly trackers that answered Lord Darth Vader's call to find the Millennium Falcon after the Battle of Hoth.

[ChickenHawk]

Porkins is definitely fucking great. Also, you gotta love Ponda Baba (the guy in the Cantina with a vag for a chin), and then there's always Garrondan (that snout-nosed guy who spies on Luke and goes "Witta wah woot woot weeouw" into his little transmitter). Good times...

I'd have to say Momaw Nadon from episode 4.
Hes that thing with the long flat head that sort of bends upward. He was in the bar towards the begginning of the movie

[Steels]

I'd have to go with IG-88, the robotic Bounty hunter from Empire

He is my pic also. You get to fight him in Nintendo 64's "Shadows of the Empire".

<img src=http://members.aol.com/vikorynotvengnce/images/steels2.gif>

[Cannon]

C'mon, he may not be as obscure as the rest, but WEDGE ANTILLES is the man!

He is not only the only non-lead character to survive all 3 of the original trilogy films but his accomplishments include:

He saved Luke's Whiny Farmboy ass by flying THRU a tie fighter that was on his tail. ( thusly allowing the golden boy to survive and blow up the Death Star)

He Survived getting shot by Darth Vader in Star Wars ( how many rebels can boast that?)

Took down the first AT-AT walker in the battle of Hoth in Empire Strikes Back ( after once again Luke screwed up and got his gunner killed)

Took over Rogue Squadron after Luke got all new age-y and he ran off to hang with some smelly green midget.

and oh, BLOWING UP THE SECOND DEATH STAR! ( Yeah Lando helped, but Wedge made it easy for that Colt 45 swillin' swindler )

<IMG SRC="http://galactic-voyage.com/images/Characters/wedge.jpg">

Without a shadow of a doubt, without Wedge, Star Wars would have ended with Luke in a cloud of ash about 2 minutes into the final battle.

he's the coolest. The N64 game I think added somewhat to my respect for him. It's almost impossible to kill him because you have to always shoot him from an angle.

That is Derek "Hobbie" Klivian...another one who would acheive fame in subsequent novels with both Wraith and Rogue Squadrons

You forgot about Grand Admiral Thrawn Thrawn is a bad mofo, and gives New Republic a scare even after he is dead.

If anyone is reading them now, the New Jedi Order, and the Yuuzhan Vong. These are some bad ass mofo's especially Tshavong Lah. What a bad mofo. here is a pic of him:

Seriously, are there fucking books for everyone who had a goddamn line in a "Star Wars" film?!? I'm glad I stayed far, far away from those things...

But I like THIS guy...

<img src=http://www.starwars.jp/character/image/general_veers.jpg>

He's the guy who was "aged to death" in the last Indiana Jones film.

And I love all the awful, one-line actors in all the SW films. It's like these people knew they only had one shot at screentime, so they try and act their balls off. The best is the Imperial Captain in "Empire", right as the first two Rebel ships are leaving Hoth. "GOOOOD. Our first CATCH...of the DAY." Masterful ennunciation.

Thrawn is still one of my faves from the books as well as Prince Xizor. The battle between him and Vader over the Emperor were the best parts of Shadows and the Bounty Hunter War books.



If anyone is reading them now, the New Jedi Order, and the Yuuzhan Vong. These are some bad ass mofo's especially Tshavong Lah. What a bad mofo.


I started reading the NJO and it is a real dark series. The whole Yuuzhan Vong are bad asses. I'm two books in and it just keeps getting worse.

Yes, but I didn't ask you out. It was a bet.



But I bet you don't know what the "M" in Richard M. Nixon stands for?

[quote]"WAR ON TERROR NOT OVER YET" EMPEROR DECLARES

CORUSCANT -- Presiding over a memorial service commemorating the victims of the attack on the Death Star, the Emperor declared that while recent victories over the Rebel Alliance were "encouraging, the War on Terror is not over yet."


"We will continue to fight these terrorists, and the rogue governments who harbor them, until the universe is safe, once and for all, and the security of the Neo-New Cosmik Order ensured."


It was one year ago today that the Death Star, perhaps the greatest symbol of the Empire's might, was destroyed in an attack by fanatic Rebels, who used small, single-person crafts to infiltrate seemingly impenetrable defenses. Thousands of mourners were on hand to remember and pay tribute to the victims and their families.


"We lost our innocence that day," reflected one mourner. "I guess we thought we were immune from the kind of violence that happens in other galaxies. We were wrong."


"I lost hundreds of buddies that day," said one teary-eyed Stormtrooper. "Guys whose only crime was trying make the Universe a safer place."


Although the day was colored by sadness, the mourners found some relief in the news of a decisive victory over the Rebels.


In an attack led by Darth Vader, Empire forces were able to rout hundreds of Rebels from a network of caves underneath the surface of the planet Hoth. "We're not sure we got them all," says a Vader spokesman. "There are a lot of places to hide in those caves. But we've delivered a powerful blow to the terrorist's infrastructure, that's for sure. Today, the Empire has struck back."


Initial reports are unclear as to the fate of Luke Skywalker, a hero among the Rebels, who is rumored to have delivered the fatal blow to the Death Star. Skywalker, a former desert-dweller from the planet Tattooine, became a part of the Rebellion after family members were killed. Skywalker was trained by a militant wing of the Rebels, known as "Jedi Knights." Fanatical in their religious beliefs, the Jedi Knights claim to derive their power from the mystical "Force."


It's believed that Skywalker was specifically trained by infamous terrorist O bin Wankanobi. Wankanobi, occasionally called "Ben" and easily recognized by his bearded visage and long, flowing robes, achieved near-martyr status among the Rebels after his death last year during a spy mission. His more fervent followers believe that Wankanobi lives on within them today, some even claiming to hear his voice during times of duress.


The attack on the Death Star came shortly after the Empire's destruction of Alderstaan, a planet whose government was known to harbor terrorists. Responding to criticism over the total annihilation of the planet, Vader stated, "There is no middle ground in the War on Terror. Those who harbor terrorists are terrorists themselves. Alderaan was issued ample warning. The fight for continuing Freedom is often burdened by terrible cost."


The cost of this war can still be seen today in the continuing efforts to build a coalition government on Tattooine. Longstanding animosities among the planets various ethnic groups, including the Jawas, Tusken Raiders and scattered human settlers, have been an impediment to the peace process. The Empire continues to maintain a small peace keeping force until a provisional government is finally in place.


Much of the difficulty in fighting the Rebel forces stems from their lack of a central organizing structure. "They don't play by the traditional rules of war," complained one spokesman. "They come in all shapes and sizes, united only by their single-minded desire to destroy the Empire before it destroys them."


The Emperor closed his comments today by stating that "the cowardly attack on the Death Star left a deep scar on the Empire. However, we will not stop fighting until every last evildoer has been brought to justice." He paused for several moments, wiping away a tear and then added with determination, "We will never forget."
