I would say Salicious Crumb , the little rodent lizard that hung with Jabba in ROTJ. His irritating cackle is almost as irritating as Fran's voice on "The Nanny". :) --- FMail/386 1.20 * Origin: The Steiner Line BBS (910)626-7985 (1:3648/6) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 138 STAR WARS Ref: E4100016 Date: 03/30/97 From: BARRY LAWS JR Time: 08:32pm \/To: JOE MASON (Read 1 times) Subj: Re: Star Wars Prequels *** Quoting Joe Mason to John Snyder dated 03-28-97 *** > JS>James Cameron's Star Wars VII - Arnold Schwartzenegger is C-3P0!!!!! > > "I am fluent in over six million forms of communication, and speak like > > a barbarian in all of them!" > Or how about this?

"Hutt" is like Nerf - it's a race, but not Jabba's. Hutt's are -> associated with something in the popular imagination, so when you -> call Jabba "the Hutt", everybody knows your comparing him to -> something. Maybe Hutt's are known for their ruthlessness, or their -> nobility, or... -> If Han'd said "Jabba the Wolf" we'd all have known: Jabba's the type -> of person who'd rip your throat out while you're sleeping (I know, -> wolves aren't really like that - that's just the stereotype!) If -> they'd called him "Jabba the Lion" we'd know he wants people to think -> he's noble. We could even guess what Han meant if he'd said, "Jabba -> the Nerf". But since he's "Jabba the Hutt", we haven't got a clue. . this is the worst explanation ive heard yet. hutt is a race, and Jabba is a Hutt. that's what post-SW fandom has invented. just like the fact that Han Solo is a Corellian. never says that in the movie... -John --- QScan/PCB v1.19b / 01-0154 * Origin: MicroLink BBS * Dinuba, CA 209-591-8753 (1:214/80) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 138 STAR WARS Ref: E4100018 Date: 03/31/97 From: JOHN SNYDER Time: 05:59pm \/To: FRANCIS GRADIJAN (Read 1 times) Subj: Re: Characters -> I have a question, John I have heard this, Bobba Fett is also called -> Bob Fortuna.

A) The last scene in Jedi only shows that the tide has tuirned,a nd the empire will never be as big as it once was. what would the next 3 movies be about? the utter destruction of Imperial remnants. B) I agree that much of the post-SW stuff is crap. mostly novels. but the "Tales of" trilogy and all the RPG things are GREAT. C) I enjoyed the IG-88 story, although it was a little silly. -John --- QScan/PCB v1.19b / 01-0154 * Origin: MicroLink BBS * Dinuba, CA 209-591-8753 (1:214/80) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 138 STAR WARS Ref: E4100023 Date: 03/31/97 From: JOHN SNYDER Time: 06:11pm \/To: BRANDON WOLGAST (Read 1 times) Subj: Hutt Not A Race -> But the movies never called him Chewbacca the Wookie, the fans just -> did that.
