A terrifying thought crossed my mind.


Droid revolution. Most Dark Troopers were droids.

:unsure:


Space Hobo Jedi: THE DROIDS ARE COMING! DON'T YOU SEE?! THEY WILL TAKE OVER THE GALAXY AND TREAT US LIKE WE TREAT THEM! THEY WILL MAKE US INTO THE AUTOMATONS!

Also, in commemoration of the 1000th post of this thread...

Fanservice. Fanservice! FANSERVICE!!

... That's depressing. No shirtless Rodian males...

I won't disagree...but it probably had something to do with there being a Gamorrean pilot in the book.....it was a stretch to make that happen, I don't think we're getting a Hutt into an X-wing :P

Alternatively, they could make those land yachts space-worthy.

The instance I can think of here a hutt flies a ship happens either in the yuuzhan vong books....I'm pretty sure thats it, or the most recent series with the lol maw monster.

Oh, and Darksaber, I guess.

Or a fucking mech suit.

Hutt in a fucking mech suit.

Hutt in those fucking Mandalorian battle mechs.

Why the FUCK has that not been a boss battle in a Star Wars game?

You laugh.

But then imagine a Basilisk droid big enough to NOT creak under the weight of a Hutt?

You may now shit your leather smuggler chaps.

I just saw mention of a Hutt Jedi so I'll just leave this here... http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Beldorion

Also Star Wars battle. Dooku vs Mace Windu. I'm inclined to go with Dooku.

Why do you say that?

Dooku got his ass kicked by Anakin Skywalker.

Mace Windu didn't even need to get up off of his beanbag to put Skywalker in his place.

Umm if my memory serves me correctly Mace never fought Anakin and Anakin had the distinct advantage of being empowered by force rage at that point along with the fact that Makashi is inherently weak against strength oriented forms like Djem So and Dooku had just fought off BOTH Obi Wan and Anakin. Also it's my personal belief that Sidious was empowering him but if we don't count that the rest should be enough to account for Dooku losing to Anakin. Also Anakin by RotS would be a good match for Mace by himself.

Vapaad > Djem So


No form is actually greater then one another as they all have their own distinct advantages. Against a Makashi bases opponent like Dooku Djem So is actually better then Vaapad in that situation. Vaapad would be especially good against emotional and raging opponents however which is why it's to my belief that Windu would be able to beat an unamped Anakin who is known to be emotional. Makashi however is well suited to dueling single bladed opponents and against a non strength based opponent like Windu Dooku would actually hold the advantage. It's also notable that Dooku always keeps his emotions in check and so Mace's Vaapad wouldn't find any advantage there either. Besides that it has been shown that Dooku is more powerful force wise and it has been outright stated in books that Dooku has stalemated Mace in dueling while still apart of the Order. Before he had become a Sith and grown more powerful.

Best Jedi ever is going to be the Jedi that invents the Jeet Kune Do of lightsaber forms.

... And it'll be a weird, obscure race, naturally.

A Gand Jedi, probably.

Well with Mara he'd - Wait for it! Actually joke around and have fun. This was before they married and they were just a Jedi savior and a former Imperial Emperor's Hand and assassin. Those were the days. Mara and Luke interaction was written so well and at the time Luke wasn't godmod OP either so their was actual tension in the books.
