SWG Tales

Today as I was mindsurfing through a long time ago in galaxy far away, I realized that of all the SWG playable races, the Bothans are the only ones that I don't remember seeing in the films. Even the "new" races, Ithorian and Sullustan, got some screen time.

There was the mention by Mon Mothma in Episode 6 about Bothans dying to get the Death Star info, but even in all of the revised editions I don't remember ever seeing any Bothans. There were probably some in the Galactic Senate scenes, but screw that. I want to see a Bothan without having to use opera glasses. Not even in the background giving secret handshakes to each other.

Are the Bothans that sneaky that not even Lucas could catch one on film? Damn! More -BAMF- than Nightcrawler...

Anyone have a shot of them from somewhere in the films? C'mon even the SOE Forum posting emoticons have a Bothan head.

This is your last chance George! Show me the Bothan!

:takes ill comfort in knowing I'll have everyone looking for a Bothan tomorrow night

They were never shown in any film, just mentioned. StarWars Databank has this pic of em.

Well if Lucas does make ep 7, 8 and 9 like he wants maybe they will be part of the New Jedi Order timeline. Since Hammell, Harrison and Fisher are all older now they could opt for a jump to that. Anywho, in that time line the Supreme Chancellor is a bothan. So maybe they will make it one day.

Except George already said there were 'no' plans 'at all' of doing an Episode 7-9 series. However, we 'might' finally see bothans in this tv series everyone is talking about. He pretty well stated in a Premiere magazine interview that none of the major movie characters wold likely be involved with anything further for the series. <tips hat to Hamill> Episode 6 was likely the last time we ever see Luke Skywalker again on film.

Didn't you hear? There's going to be a tan/brown bothan running around the hospital with a sunguard, and then there's a white one meandering around with a giant cat following them.

...yeah, maybe not...but I'll be looking for bothans too. You think dying for the death star plans would earn them some screentime. Or even a cantina spot. Or a bit character Jedi...

:sparks a Laser Knife and holds it up high

I heard there was going to be bothan doctors sitting in the starport with a droid next to them, shouting that they would heal people for 15000 credits, and for people to form a line in front of them...

Well that is if you don't count the cameo Mark played in Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back as Cock-Knocker.

LMAO, that rawked!!!

Well if he were to make an episode 7-9 it should be the thrawn books that way you get to see many bothans plus Mara Jade. Kill two birds with one stone.
