hmmm.... ah well, I thought many woul dhave known at least one.....

A. 4-LOM.. ref : Tales of the Bounty Hunters

R5-D4.... aka 'skippy' (yes the red droid that blows his top in ANH) An interesting story in one of the 'Tales' comics series describes the force sensitivity of this droid

* * *

anyway...

let me ask another....

let's make it topical....

Q. There is a scene in the new trailer(feat anakin and dooku)......... what location in KOTOR2 does it resemble.....

I believe there is a reason why the comics are called called "Tales." I also think that was meant to be funny, and not taken seriously. Which is why I don't consider them to be "EU Canon" (God dammit Kurgan). They're short stories by random people.

As for 4-LOM, meh... haven't read Tales of Books in a while.

yeah, I get what you mean re- R5-D4...
Still, the 4-Lom still stands.... though they do both fit into the same canonical classification

anwyay, no points were awarded, no biggie....

OK, it seems the current question is a bit too topical perhaps....but let me answer it ....

Nb. Kotor2 and Ep3 trailer spoiler warning !

A. There is a scene in the new ep 3 trailer

spoiler:
that shows the duel between anakin and dooku. It is some form of sith throne room, a little similar to that in ROTJ.

http://www.myimgs.com/data/astrotoy7/trailercap.jpg

It does bear some resemblance to

spoiler:
the sith meditation chamber

used by Visas Marr in KOTOR2.....

*mental note : no more topical questions !*

* * *

OK. Next question..... *easy*

Q. Who was Nien Nunb and where was he from....what was his brothers name, and what did his brother do ??

mtfbwya

jedispy · 03-14-2005, 11:18 AM

Well...I know part of it. Nien Nunb is the Sullustan copilot of Grey Leader (a.k.a. Millennium Falcon) during the battle of Endor. Now who his brother is......I'm sorry I don't know that. I do know of an Aril Nunb, who is Nien's sister. She joined Rogue Squadron, and almost made it to executive officer.

Apparently sullustans are naturally excellent pilots.

EU questions.......

Let's see....what hasn't been asked yet......

Q: In the final duel of The Last Command, who was all involved in the lightsaber duel, and who held who's lightsabers?

well done jedispy I knew there was somethig wrong with my question ! ...Nien Nunb had a sister...... I always thought he had a brother

:

Ten Numb flew a b-wing at the battle of Endor... no relation to Nien Nunb !

Now, TLC is a while ago but surely it was Mara Jade fighting Luke Skywalker, using an anakins blue saber that Luke lost when he was dismembered at Bespin (by anakin!)

I'll let someone else ask a question for once

mtfbwya

**swphreak** · 03-15-2005, 09:22 AM

I wonder if he meant Luuke and Luke?

Here's a question:

(not EU, but I liked it)

What was Yoda's response when Luke asked him what was inside the tree cave?

Exact quotage people!

jedispy · 03-15-2005, 03:46 PM

A: Only what you bring with you.

StarWarsPhreak is correct as is Astrotoy7. Luke was poised to potentially attack Joruus C'Boath, when the crazed clone jedi master killed all of the ysalamiri. Then Luke sensed a disturbance in the force, his own clone. According to the Thrawn Trilogy, clones go insane due to the shared mental bandwidth. Of course this is pretty much debunked in AOTC when we find out not only is Jango the host for the clones, but as well as for Boba Fett, and he's not insane.

Anyway, Luke duals Luuke. Luke holds Luke's lightsaber, whereas Luuke holds Anakin's lightsaber. Luke gets immobilized, and Mara jumps in. If memory serves, she holds Luke's lightsaber, while she duels Luuke holding Anakin's lightsaber.

If you want to be technical Leia was holding Leia's lightsaber, but she wasn't dueling.

O.k. here's a harder one
Q: This one has two parts.

Q1: Where and when was the first time Han Solo met Senator Garm Bel Iblis?

Q2: What was Han REALLY doing there?

*Wraith 8* · 03-17-2005, 07:02 AM

well a person might say while he was investigating a bothan. but thats not true. the first time Han met Garm bel iblis was on corellia. he was at school and garm came to talk about something. Han was put to a dare by one of his friends to ask a certain question i cant remember right now.
anyway Han was getting taught at school

i hope that is the answer your looking for. Ill wait for confirmation.

*Sivy* · 03-17-2005, 07:08 AM

Han was there beause he was part of scam. he would mix with rich kids and get to know their families. then later they would either rob or con them.

Astrotoy7 · 03-17-2005, 08:31 AM

Ok....jedispy plz confirm answer(s) so I can assign the points. In the interim, I'm resuming the festivities :

Q. Who was given the dubious nickname of 'The Snot Vampire'...where did he first appear

bonus - PIC

mtfbwya

*Wraith 8* · 03-17-2005, 09:01 AM

A: well after some research i found out that its a nickname for the Anzat race of predators or something like that. and its first apearance was in episode 4. in the mos eisley cantina.

im trying to find a pic and its the guy smoking the pipe.

hope its the right one.

Q: In SWKOTOR you had to get prestige on koriban. who were the 4 sith lords burried in the valley there.

Bonus: if you can tell something special what they had of each of em.

*Sivy* · 03-17-2005, 09:30 AM

Ajunta Pall (blade)
Tulak Hord (mask)
Marka Ragnos (gauntlets)
Naga Sadow (star map & sith lightsaber)

Q)why was Dash Render and has family banished from coruscant?

jedispy · 03-17-2005, 11:05 AM

Quote:

Wraith 8 & Sivy = correct on first & second parts. Han was a student in a class on planet Corellia. Senator Garm Bel Iblis was visiting that day and answered children's questions. Unbeknownst to the Senator is that Han was a slave for Garriss Shrike, a Corellian smuggler and pirate notorious for running scams. He used Han all throughout his childhood to run scams. Eventually Han escaped.

[AstroEDIT]1 point each to Wraith and Sivy

Quote:

Well I know one is Marko Ragnos. This is from Tales of the Jedi: Golden Age of the Sith and also in Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy. The others.....I'm guessing one is Naga Sadow, but I can't confirm that. Sorry...don't know the others.

CapNColostomy · 03-17-2005, 09:11 PM

His brother, a pilot, crashed into...an important buidling of some sort? Seems like it was the Emporers private museum or something like that. Close enough?

Q: What was unusual about the creatures that Talon Karde went safari hunting when he first met Mara Jade? Bonus, what were the creatures called?

Shok_Tinoktin · 03-17-2005, 09:49 PM

A. They were sentient. Don't remember what they were called, though.

I'm passing on the question (don't have one/too lazy to come up with one)

jedispy · 03-18-2005, 02:13 AM

hrm....don't know how I missed the other question in play. Perhaps a wizard did it. (ref simpson's episode with Lucy Lawless)

O.k.

As far as I can tell, no questions in play.

Q: What planet is host to the famed "Valley of the Jedi?"

jeezalu, Shok what type of an answer is *that*....if you were too lazy to look it up, dont bother answering...

*No points awarded*

CapN, can you confirm the *full* answer for posterity's sake... is it ysalimir ?

Jedispy I applaud your enthusiasm, but CapNs question was in play. Shoks answer was far from conclusive, and there were no refs listed.....

*points to the rules*

Quote:

3. ONE ACTIVE QUESTION AT A TIMEIf you are reasonably confident of your answer, have answered all question components and provided references, you may ask a question. If details of your answer are incorrect, this will be clarified and may affect whether you are assigned points.

therefore, if are only speculating you CANNOT ask a question
eg. Hmm.. i think you are referring to Grand Admiral Thrawn, but im not sure and cant remember where I read it...

now you know !

* * *

anyway, jedispy's question is the active question........

Quote:

Q: What planet is host to the famed "Valley of the Jedi?"

and I shall answer it

There are many interesting things about the Valley, including thought bombs and adegan crystals, its location is of course Ruusan... source... DF2:JK1

and so...

Q. What was special about Corran Horn's lightsaber ?

mtfbwya

*Sivy* · 03-18-2005, 04:47 AM

A) t'is was a silver blade and had a dual-phase crystal, which meant it can grow up to twice as long.

Q) Clone wars question - Who is pictured in my avatar and how did he died?

Bonus - who was his master?

Shok_Tinoktin · 03-18-2005, 06:22 AM

A) He is Sha'a Gi. He was killed on Hypori by General Greivous when he ran out into the open because of fear brought on by the recent death of his master, Daakman Barrek. Source: Clone Wars cartoon.

Hey, since when are bonuses required. I had to go to class, so I just answered what I knew from memory rather then doing the research. And as far as giving a source, that hasn't been enforced in a while.

Here is the plenty of time, satisfying answer:

They were sentient, which is uncommon amongst creatures that are hunted. The creatures are called Morodin. Source: Tales from the Empire.

Q) Who was chief of security at Jabba's Palace?

CapNColostomy · 03-18-2005, 06:52 AM

Shok is completely correct this time. And as far as I was concerned, he was correct with the "sentient" answer in the first place. He just missed the bonus point part. But hey, there's a reason Astro's a mod and I'm not. So the ball's in his court. I was satisfied with your answer though.

Also, was my answer about Dash Rendars family correct or close enough? BTW, I forgot completely about the source part. It's been a while since I posted here. Sorry 'bout that. My source is of course, Shadows of the Empire.

*Sivy* · 03-18-2005, 07:14 AM

Aha! But I do not have a Noghri bodyguard to stab me in the back!

A: Ephant Mon. He and Jabba were, amazingly, actually friends. After Jabba was killed, Mon quit his criminal ways and retired to his homeword.

No idea about Sources.

Q: Who all helped rescue Han from the Pride of Yevetha?

This is purely from memory, but I'm thinking Skywalker? Or Walker of Sky? I can't remember, and the book is in Florida...

Source [would be] the Thrawn Duology.

Shok can confirm and ask a new question if I got it right.

Tanesh · 03-19-2005, 04:38 AM

I guess it's Friend of the Jedi or something like that (have the German book).
If it's right, someone else can ask a question, I'm not creative today.

"Jedi Sky Walker" and "Walker of Sky" are what the Qom Qae and Qom Jha referred to Luke as (respectively)....

Tanesh is correct. Jade suggested "Friend of Jedi" for the Qom Qae who helped her and Luke, in Vision of the Future...

* * *

since Tanesh has passed, here's the next question ...

Q. Who was Sate Pestage ? What became of him ?

**swphreak** · 03-19-2005, 12:53 PM

Like I said, from memory

A: Sate Pestage is Palpatine's "Grand Vizier." He was the Emperor's trusted advisor, and during the PT, he was a senatorial aide.

I assume he died at hands of Admiral Krennel (The Rogue Squadron comics), but apparently, that was a clone, and the real pestage retired to Byss to await the Emperor's return. He died when Byss was destroyed. I guess the Byss part would be in the Dark Empire comics. I don't remember that though...

Since I'm sure I answered it right, I'm gonna ask a question.

Q: What is the importance of Drongar during the Clone Wars?

guybroom · 03-20-2005, 11:06 AM

Yay - I have 1 point!

A: I havnt seen the clone wars!

so Ive got this from starwars.com

Drongar was a planet. It had a plant called bota which helped in medicine. I guess that the plant was usful in the wars but i dont know

Im not going to ask a question as i dont think that is the whole/correct answer

**swphreak** · 03-20-2005, 12:01 PM

No need to quote yourself.

[Astro]werd. deleted.

Yes, that's pretty much the answer, Bota.

The Ssi-Ruuvi used entechment to absorb power from living things(often resuklting in their death). This included humans and Pweck. This of course all happenned on the plaent Lwekk, during the events of "Truce at Bakura". However, by the time of NJO, the Pweck were in revolt. In addition, the process had been refined to the extent that enteched individuals assumed a mantle of immortality...
