	Did any Bothans appear on-screen in the Classic Trilogy? (Sorry if this has been discussed before). -----signature----- Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. - Acts 2:38

	and even once they did in the EU, artists couldn't make up their mind on how exactly they looked, canine or um... goat-like. Or something -----signature----- We do what we must Because we can For the good of all of us Except the ones who are dead

	Of course, depending on what EU you might accept, that line may have been "Manny Both-Hanz died..." (Manny being a rebel spy and Mon Mothma's lover (or, at least, someone really close). Back in the old days, in the old BBS/rec.arts.scifi days, people often assumed that Pruneface (or Orrimaarko, as he's now officially known) was a Bothan, given his emphasis as a figure with barely any screen time. But, nope, no Bothans in ROTJ, short bus version or not. As much as I generally stand behind the 'no more tampering' crowd, I wouldn't mind seeing a couple of Bothans added to that scene (heck, a few more alien pilots wouldn't hurt... it seems like by the ROTJ period, the Alliance realized it needed to reach out beyond the majority human population to win).

	Nope, none on screen. Images from comics and stuff, though, in the EU if you really want to see them. TLJ, for some reason I remember even seeing one image of a Bothan that was somewhat feline... but I don't know where that was from. Mostly canine, though. -----signature----- The Arena's Favorite Baseball Player Tournament - Come vote! http://boards.theforce.net/the_arena/b10777/29864047/p1/ I approve of NYCitygurl's sig

I would say more feline than canine, but with humanoid bodies. http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Bothan -----signature----- Winner CT Trivia Challenge 44, 54 Winner PT Trivia Challenge 10 , 13, 14, 17 Joint-Winner CT Challenge 49 and 50, PT Challange 18

As is your Rebel fleet! It was I who allowed the Alliance to know the location of the shield generator. It is quite safe from your pitiful little band. An entire legion of my best troops awaits them."

	Ha ha, yup... poor Bothans died for nothing... Not really. Palpatine, in his arrogance, did give them the correct plans. "The Bothans were famously credited with stealing the plans to the second Death Star during the Battle of Korriban, enabling the Rebel Alliance to destroy the battlestation. They played a large role in the founding of the New Republic and in the development of its government.

	Yeah. People thought the cab driver in the reinserted scene in TPM was a Bothan, but he's not. Whatever the hell he is. -----signature----- We do what we must Because we can For the good of all of us Except the ones who are dead
