Yeah, I agree. IG-88 is awesome, hell even Zuckuss(the one with the insect like head) is cool.

Extended Universe Gripe #49328
Dengar should have been given more respect in the EU. In one chapter of Tales of the Bounty Hunters they have him spilt second calculating blaster shot angles and dodging them so fast that it looks like he's a ghost.
But in other spots he's played as a back-up and semi-stooge to Boba Fett. Nothing against Fett, but ol' Dengar is hardcore. He should be a one man wrecking crew in the books and movies. A rival for Fett to reckon with. Another mis-used character.
I'd give it up to IG-88 as well if a "character" progression was shown where his software would update with experience against sentient beings. Basically learning to anticipate organic behavior better over time.
Something like that.

Never read the books, but Dengar sounds like a hard ass. However...anyone remember the SW card game from a few years back? I forget who did it (WotC maybe?), but the Dengar card had the pic from the movie scene with all the bounty hunters. He looks kinda like a chubby hobo with a bandage on his head. Doesn't make him look too menacing at all.

the reason dengar is all patched up is because he was in a illegal speeder race against han solo and wrecked big time

he kinda has a grudge

That I wouldn't be caught dead in it. Once you finally get to see the screen of the guy wearing it, you are sufficiently unimpressed. The sheer lack of color coordination is appaling. Its like they asked Ray Charles to do the colors. The parts that DO match are in these two gross looking colors that don't seem to match anyway. Its not as visually impressive as it should be.
Congratulations to them for doing the GRUELING death watch bunker crap enough times to get 9 pieces.
Boooo to them for not at least attempting to make a decent LOOKING set.
Now before you yell at me, "D'tar, you @ss, I bet u cnt do it!!!1!"
I say this...you are absolutely correct. But does it matter? nope
I know what you are saying and as the proud owner of a mando helm and also the stuff to craft 2 more pieces i must say it is slightly annoying they are going to be different colours but i was most annoyed my helmet did not turn out a fetching colour of pink.
As with anything in the game i think its not the end result but how hard it is to get this, i dont think 9 liquid protective coatings have even dropped on gorath nvm 1 person having them, i spent far too much time and effort accruing the 3 i ahev so far and when i get my 4 piece suit finished i will look at it and think well thats a job owrth doing, now i have truly did everything this game has, put it on equip my jetpack and fly off into the horizon

HAHA they got the set painted by an abstract artist (hate those mother *&%@#^@ @$$ holes). I love the fact that you cannt set the armor color and I love the fact that it's so hard to get. It's kind of like telling all those sniviling kids who cry "I wana look like jango!" to f off. It's there, it's hard to get but it's there.
There's some guy on Gorath that got the helmut and has it on display in his place some where just east of coronet. Can across it when I was looking for furniture to decorate my ship the Deliverance.
