Senator Organa should be on the list, as Jimmy Smits is inherently very cool.

Star Wars Episode 1 review

If you can stand to listen to this guys voice for more than 20 seconds without wanting to kill yourself then this video is pretty funny. Well it's 1 in a series of 7, but worth a watch.

Hans Landa? What?

bustin98 · « **Reply #5 on:** January 19, 2010, 02:24:33 AM »

I googled Hans Landa and got Inglorious Basterds. Is his name supposed to be a tribute to Star Wars or is ThePerm seeing things?

Does anyone actually know anything about Yaddle?

wtf never heard of this guy http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Yaddle

I remember there was a guy on 1up FM that was mocked for liking Yaddle and getting defensive about her (yes Yaddle is a she) because he fell in love with a girl at a cosplay convention that was dressed as Yaddle.

I'm still sad that they chose to do what they did to Darth Caedus/Jacen Solo at the end of the one book series.

You also need Thrawn on that list. Thrawn was amazing.

That's what my Youtube link is about.

Anybody seen One-Man Star Wars Trilogy? I was lucky enough to have a front row seat in a small theater, and it was fantastic. Being at the front, and possibly because my friends and I were the only ones in the mostly mainstream audience to get every joke, he played directly to me in several parts.

LOL, your right. Funny to hear that again. Though the part where they ragged on Yaddle on the cast was hilarious as well if I recall right.

"April 01, 2005 - Rumors about possible storylines for Star Wars:Episode VII, VIII, and IX have been passed down through fandom sincethe late '70s � long before the creation of the Web. Longtime devoteeswill remember that one of most prominent rumors floating around claimedthat a character from the prequels would return as the centralcharacter in the final trilogy. Today, after decades of speculation,IGN FilmForce can confirm this. A top-level insider, who requests thatwe refer to him only as "Far-Far Nar-Nar," tells us it's true and thatreports of a TV show are merely a smokescreen intentionally created byLucasfilm to divert attention away from high-level development of threenew films in the epic space saga.

And there's more... the source reveals that the sequel trilogy willcenter around Jedi Master Yaddle � the "female Yoda" featured in ThePhantom Menace � as she travels to the farthest reaches of the galaxyin search of the powerful Kyber Crystal, accompanied by her loyalprotector, Captain Panaka.

We're not the kind of site that takes these kinds of things lightly, sowe phoned Quarshie's rep who promptly told us, "I don't know where thehell he is," and hung up. Undeterred, we tracked Quarshie down at asci-fi convention in Kansas where he revealed more shockingdevelopments. Speaking from the main hall of the Topeka AbdallahShriners Club Masonic Temple, Quarshie told us, "Damn right! See,Yaddle is on a crazy dangerous mission and she needs somebody like me �a real badass � to protect her." When pressed for more details Quarshietipped, "Well, George didn't tell me much, but I know it's gonna be amusical. He's really going a different direction with this one. Saysit'll be like Star Wars meets Moulin Rouge. Real trippy s***."

Our source, "Far-Far Nar-Nar," was reluctant to comment on Quarshie'sstatement, but he did say that Paula Abdul had been spotted atSkywalker Ranch in recent weeks. It's possible she's choreographingdance numbers for the film.

Finally, our scooper claims that the project is currently beingdeveloped under the codename "Yaddle Goes to Utapau," but he/she hearsthat The Flanneled One is considering "Descent of Yaddle" for theactual title of Episode VII.

Could we finally learn more about Yoda's race and get to see his homeplanet? How does Mara Jade fit into all this? Why is C-3PO soeffeminate? Stay tuned to IGN FilmForce for the answers to all thesequestions and more."

More Yaddle silliness.

We need awesome Star Wars pics.

These are the only ones on my photobucket currently.

Does anyone else here try to keep up with the novels or comics?

I recently finished the Legacy of the Force series but there is a new series taking place after that which I'm planning to start reading soon. I also picked up one of those 'Legacy' comics that takes place 100+ years in the future and reading that along with that book series was fun because I was picking out potential connections for descendants of characters. For a while I was convinced that Darth Krayt was Jacen Solo/Darth Caedus in the far future and its fun to guess who ends up with who to create these descendants down the line (Jaina Solo + Jaged Fell lead to Roan and his daughter Marasiah in the future?)

IG-88 is my favourite character in the whole series hands-down.

Their are plenty that I like, but none that I like as much as this assassin droid

I saw a different one where it was a squirrel using force lightning on another squirrel.

Here it is!

Have you read his story in Tales of the Bounty Hunters, then? I recommend that book mostly for IG-88's epic story and Boba Fett's escape from the Sarlacc. I can't even remember any of the others.

idk, Hans Landa could just be his name, but the first thing i thought when i heard it was Han and Lando. He is probably Tarantino's most interesting character.

Anyone got a wallpaper sized image of the lightning squirrel poster? 16:9 size would also be a bonus if such thing exist.

Too bad he got his robot ass kicked inside out by Boba Fett.

I remember the fight against him in Shadows of the Empire was pretty fun. Course that entire game was pure fun.
