And I don't see the need for a psych ward retcon for Zuckuss, when Jeter did it with a one-liner in the third book, something about being a Rebel not paying.

That was the explanation for his change of situation - the retcon is for his outrageously different personality.

Dewback Rancher:

*Logray himself states 'For two hundred snows you've plagued us', indicate that Logray's absurdly old- probably the oldest Ewok we've heard of.
Or at least, that's the way I always interpreted it. In any case, IS Logray that old? I'm pretty sure an Endor year isn't the same as a Coruscant one, but STILL- can Ewoks even LIVE that long?
Been trying to get confirmation either way, for benefit of Logray's Wookieepedia article, so thanks for taking the time to listen!*

Two hundred snows seems pretty darn long. I really can't give a definitive answer regarding Logray's age. The only thing I can say is that the Ultimate Alien Anthology states that 60+ standard years of age is considered "venerable" for the average Ewok, beyond even the typical "old" age bracket. That doesn't preclude Logray from being extremely venerable, especially given his apparent connection to the Force/magic, but it does at least contextualize the viability of any theories regarding his potential age.

For the record, much like Zuckuss, continuity has made Logray a rather interesting character. While he appears as the kind wiseman archetype in the Ewoks cartoon, the portrait and fate of the character per the Movie Trilogy Sourcebook is far less kind, suggesting a cruel and out of touch shaman that finally gets his. It seems that after defeating his nemesis Morag, Logray himself became more and more like the witch -- an interesting evolution.

Trak Nar:

*While paging through the Essential Guide to Alien Species and Scum and Villainy, I wondered something concerning Zuckuss's mental illness retcon...

How did he end up in the psych ward? What did he do to get committed? Will that ever be explained? He's branded as being dangerous to himself and others, so that implies that he had acted out violently to require psychiatric hospitalization.

It would certainly make for an interesting short story, if anything... *

I agree. Zuckuss' split-personality was a dramatic, if arguably necessary, retcon, given the deep disparity in depictions of the character between Tales of the Bounty Hunters and the Bounty Hunter Wars. I have no knowledge of someone running with that story seed, but if someone did, I'd be very interested in reading it.

I wouldn't put it past Daniel Wallace.....

::shakes fist:: Ooh, that Dan Wallace! He thinks he's so cool!!!

Abel

Honestly, I think the chances of those droids getting drudged up from continuity limbo would be approximately 3720 to 1.

In the Ewoks cartoon, things like Logray being the Ewok brave who confronted Morag when she made her grab at the Sunstar-Shadowstone (I mean, the episode The Cries Of the Trees states that he was the only opposition she found, so I find it unlikely she made her move, found no opposition, then went, 'Oh, no one's going to fight me... better come back later when they're more prepared'), and the fact that Logray himself states 'For two hundred snows you've plagued us', indicate that Logray's absurdly old- probably the oldest Ewok we've heard of.
Or at least, that's the way I always interpreted it. In any case, IS Logray that old? I'm pretty sure an Endor year isn't the same as a Coruscant one, but STILL- can Ewoks even LIVE that long?

Then pretend I'm Corellian.

Like the new look!

Do you have any idea as to the designation of these two particular droids, or if there has ever been anything in the works towards identifying the various makes of droids in this show?

Unfortunately, no. Honestly, I think the chances of those droids getting drudged up from continuity limbo would be approximately 3720 to 1.

Mira Lodo:

Yeah. Stuff like that, I consider WEG simply overreaching their boundaries. The films should always be unrestrained by those things, as they were designed for gamers, not for writers. Simply because we don't see something on-screen doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

I like to think of it as a different time. Star Wars animation and comics have come a long way in terms of respectability since the 80s.

Hi there! As it stands right now, many of the droids from the Droids special The Great Heep are still unidentified. It's too bad that some of these unidentified astromech models have not shown up in any other media. There were some cool designs in that show! Of particular interest to me are the spherical astromech droid and the gray and purple astromech who is labeled here: http://droidsandewoks.weebly.com/droids-tv-characters.html< /a> as Astromech Droid (Unknown Model).

Well, Abel, since you're here, allow me to ask this, as it's been on my mind since the latest timeline revisions:

Why are the Droids series now set at 15 BBY? I know I remember hearing something about the original intent being that they were in the early days of the Empire, which fits, but there are also references to the Rebel Alliance, Boba Fett is full grown and well-established, IG-88 is in action as a bounty hunter ... wouldn't it make more sense to put this series a couple of years BBY (especially since the droids appear to have their first encounter with IG-88 in the DH comics, set at 3 BBY)?

Just a thought.

Hey, Mr. Pena. I was just wondering, in the KotOR campaign guide there's a picture of Darth Bandon dueling the Cathar Jedi Juhani. Does this mean that Juhani was with Revan when Bandon confronted him, or that it happened some other time before the Sith confronted Revan?

Supporter of Emperor Jag:

Fair enough. Nice way to tie in the product placement.

Smooth, right? I owe it to my bible, How to Succeed in Everything.

It doesn't matter because we won't be seeing them again, but the idea of a sentient species extinction happening off-screen had troubled me for years. As a firm believer in "if you didn't see him die, he didn't," (see Alema Rar etc.) it always left me suspicious.

The Yevetha were a uniquely compelling species in Star Wars, and that was my biggest regret in their coming to an end "off screen." It's a long shot, but maybe with Dark Horse's newly announced Invasion series, we'll get to see the showdown between the Yuuzhan Vong and Yevetha.

Take care,
Abel
