SWG Tales

There are a lot of main and secondary characters in the Star Wars Saga that are pretty damn slick. They may be in the movie a few minutes, but you can just tell they have that little bit of something extra that make them stick out in your mind as being pretty damn cool when you think about them a bit. Who's your favorite of these characters and why?

Mine?



Dr Evazan -

This guy is pretty damn slick. First off, he's ugly as hell, hanging out in a bar in the middle of the afternoon with his best bud, and talking shit to everyone around him. He's a doctor, so you know he's got some money, so I guess that's why he can sit around boozing it up all day. Then, to top off his coolness, he picks a fight in a bar (pretty much because he's an ugly SOB that been drinking since he woke up). And what's even better than starting a bar brawl? He starts it, gets his buddy's arm chopped off, and walks away without a scratch. That rocks!! Granted, I wouldn't want to be his buddy, but starting shit with someone who can kick your ass and walking away untouched after the guy you're with got his ass kicked because of you is an art and I have to give a lot of props for that.

Lando--He's a suave mofo. Lando is smooth with the ladies,a sophisticated scoundral.

Lando=PIMP

Besides his kickass accent, his story is kinda tragic. He was just a pawn, getting to taste some pretty sweet things (like that walking chair he got to ride in) and thinking he was on top...and had it all come crashing down around him, finally being betrayed by the guys that set him up to the point of losing his life. He's got a lot of personality for a background character (I love his little "happy dance" in the arena scene when Padme gets sliced on) and he's got a fucking great wardrobe.

Not only that, he brazenly brags about his criminal record!


I love how he gets all sorts of pissed when Luke does not appear impressed by that. "You'll be dead!" Good stuff!

I give Dr. Evazan a "10.0" when it comes to secondary character rating.

I have to give mention to Uncle Owen.

He's grizzled, tired, and cranky. He's probably the one character in the saga that we can truly relate to. He's got a job and responsibilities, and he has no time for foolishness.

Sure we all want to be the Han's, Luke's, and Leia's.. but put us in a galaxy far far away.. and we are likey to be Uncle Owen.

In the end, he gets steamrolled by "the man". A bitter life, burdened with other people's problems.. only to meet a bitter end because his punk nephew had a hard-on for some chick he saw on a holo-projection.


I salute you, Uncle Owen!

He wasn't the only one. Besides had Owen seen that he probably would have wanted to get with her too.

I liked the bartender personally. I mean just imagine all the knowledge of the worst baddies in the history of Star Wars that he has accumulated. He would be an excellent source of information for underworld RP'rs.

I like that guy who's giving the Rebel pilots briefings in the Hoth hangar bay.

The ultimate "yes-man": Salacious Crumb.

The only reason for his existance was to add another voice to the laughter that would ensue when one of Jabba's victims met their demise.

It was as if Jabba was saying, "I consider you even more worthless than this rat-thing, so now you are rancor food.. or sarlaac food. BWAHAHAHA!"

Because injury is more fun when you add insult, Salacious Crumb is a valued member of Jabba's court.

The ST that cracks his noggin on the door in Ep 4.

He rolled through that head injury with class. And I see a little of myself in him, everytime I hear that *CRACK* and see him adjusting the helmet.

He just totally didn't see that coming, but he didn't skip a beat... almost.

I would say Bossk not just because he is a bounty hunter. But he just seems evil with a mood of "Don't piss me off" Plus he says somthing that makes an Imperial officer jump a foot back. I like him as a two second charecter.

And he wiggles those big toenails of his. That part was cool.

Hmmm. If I were to add to this list, I would have to add,

Darth Vader's Wingman

That position must make a person as jumpy as a humming bird on Red Bull.

I got another one to add...it's a classic. Red Leader, otherwise known as "Dave."

Porkins will always be king!!!



Plus he is the one guy that totally breaks the mold on action figures... literally..



"Porkins you're coming in too fat! .... Stay on target."

Jabe

Salalicious B. Crumb

Ok first off. He gets away with doing nothing more than laughing at everything Jabba says. Of course that's not truely all. This little guy has the precarious position of court jester in the illustrious hall of Jabba's palace. His effinity to annoy, harass, and torture visitors and patrons of the great hall has won him his position from a very bleak event.

He start his simple journey by stowing himself of a transport to the Kwenn Space Station. There he eluded Mantilorrian rat catchers for sometime til he happened to find himself then stowed into one of Jabba's personal transport.

The bleakness grew very much so when this little guy found that the hiding place he chose was actually Jabba's feeding bowl. Having narrowly escaped Jabba's sent forth 2 henchmen to nab him. After making fools of them both, angering them greatly, and covering them in a fairly noxious green slime he found that he had done something not so expected. He made Jabba laugh his tail off.

Thus began his stint.

As far as combat prowess he has little, unless your a low combat rated Protocol Droid. And then I'd watch out for my Optical receptors.
