To quote Hardware Wars...

 

"You'll laugh! You'll cry! You'll kiss 3 bucks good-bye! Go see Hardware Wars in a theatre near you!"

I like Zabraks, Twi'leks, and a male Cathar would be cool.

 

And a recruitable Yoda-like dude would be freaking awesome. Or AT THE VERY LEAST let's see a fight with one.

Fighting one would be alot cooler. Finally an enemy that you have to run from as part of a mission (unless you think you can match the power of his yoda-ness).

Never heard of it.

AAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHH!

 

Bohemian! You truly don't have any culture do you! Man, you need to see it. Truly a masterpiece of a parody. Thousand times better than the Star Wars Christmas Special. :D

Drop a link so I can see it then.

I'm not sure any sites stream it anymore. They sell a Hardware Wars DVD for $20. The short is only like 10 minutes long. There is a commentary track as well, but I won't pay $20 for a 10 minute movie. If they sold the DVD cheaper, I'd probably buy it though. Hardware Wars is priceless.

 

Check your favorite file sharing program.

 

Here is a teaser. Teaser

 

Also, there is a new special edition hardware wars with 20 new scenes. I haven't seen it though.

Actually, yes, they did...you see, you killed off the wookies, not the wookiees. Chewbacca, Zaalbar, and Bacca are all wookiees, not wookies, got me? It's funny how a spelling error kept you from killing off one of your most hated races, don't you think? I'm glad that's all said and done, now let us get back on topic... :)

Smart***

:p

 

'Nuff said.

I couldn't get the movie to play, all I could hear was sound.

I would like to see Bothans, would be interesting.

 

and that was the take off! :blink:

What exactly is a Bothan?

What exactly is a Bothan?

This is the stuff you miss by not reading books. They're mentioned, among other places, in the Heir to the Empire Trilogy.

 

Mon Mothma also mentions them in Return Of The Jedi. "Many Bothans died to bring us this information."

I don't know what a Bothan is...but I don't read SW EU very much so...

I don't know what a Bothan is...but I don't read SW EU very much so...

Native Languages: Bothan

Average Height: 1.3 to 1.54 meters

 

A humanoid species identified by their short builds and fur-covered faces, Bothans are widely known as proficient and intrepid spies. However, members of the species have also become fearless leaders, relentless warriors, courageous pilots, and brilliant scientists. As a species, Bothans have been mastering the art of information-gathering for nearly 300 years. The resulting Bothan spynet is among the largest and most renowned intelligence organizations, with operatives stationed throughout the galaxy. In fact, spying has become the Bothans primary industry. Since the outbreak of the Galactic Civil War, the Bothan spynet has primarily benefited the Rebel Alliance, although both the Empire and the criminal underworld occasionally make use of Bothan spies as well.

 

Due largely to their reputation as spies, Bothans are often regarded as power hungry, manipulative, cunning and paranoid. But Bothans are also well-organized, keenly intelligent, and very loyal. They live orderly lives, place great emphasis on family bonds, and are extremely protective of their allies. In addition, Bothans can be passionate and surprisingly eloquent orators, poets, and politicians.

 

Bothans hail from Bothawui, a clean, cosmopolitan planet. They live in tight-knit clans and are ruled by a democratic Bothan Council. Bothans speak both Basic and their own native tongue.

 

Lucas Arts had a great profile I was going to link with the above text on their Star Wars Battlefront page, however to my suprise the profile was gone so Pandemic must have cut them from the game. That pisses me off becuase that was the only rebel class that I was interested in playing due to the fact you could pose as an Imperial officer and sneak into bases. I wonder what else will be cut since Pandemic is being forced by Lucas Arts to finish the game in time to be released along with George Lucas's craptastic special ed edition DVDs. In the words of Han Solo "I have a bad feeling about this."

 

Cheers!

But I want a picture of one.

It's a giant dog that can stand straight up. How original.

That's really a crappy pic. The one Lucas Arts had on the SW Battlefront page was much better and didn't look like a stupid werewolf thing. I just posted that pic to give you a general idea on how they look.

 

Cheers!

Some one might have mentioned this, but an Iridorian [ the dude in yellow on Manaan] would be a good choice. He could DEFINATLEY fill Canderous's shoes. :)

Bothan. Sorry, that other pic was really ugly.

Somehow, they look less like giant dogs, and more anthropomorphic camels.

Bothans are extremely important in SW, so I was suprised when not one even appeared.

Personally, I love to hate the Bothans, and my RPG plot did actually involve early Bothans. I'll swap them out with someone else now...

I'd rather have a wookiee out of the two dog looking species... :)

Who is so Zabrak happy? I mean, I like the Zabraks, but it's starting to seem a little one-sided...

"You shall not pass!"

Everybody wants another Darth Maul in their party.

Using a gamepad to control an FPS is like trying to fight evil through maple syrup.
