    "Jabba the Hutt's cavernous, smoky Presence Room stank of spilled intoxicants and sweaty body armor. Guards and henchmen, dancers and bounty hunters, humans and Jawas and Weequays and Arcona lay where they'd toppled, crumpled under arches or piled in semi-private cubicles or sprawled in the open."

    -- "We Don't Do Weddings : The Band's Tale" by Kathy Tyers, Tales from the Mos Eisley Cantina, 1995

    "It smelled bad up ahead -- mostly of spilled intoxicants and sweaty body armor, but of other, less pleasant things as well."

    "...Around Jabba were crowds of guards and henchmen, dancers and bounty hunters, humans and Jawas and Weequays and Arcona."

    -- "And The Band Played On : The Band's Tale" by John Gregory Betancourt, Tales from Jabba's Palace, 1995


    I only noticed this from listening to the "Weddings" audio drama religiously, and then coming across the passage in TfJP.

    Funny? I don't understand why that's funny. Please clarify for my sleep-deprived brain. (It's an addiction!)

    Interesting a similer quote in two different stories in two different books, by two different people, LOL.

    Because two authors quoted each other. While this would be plagiarism in most cases, being a shared universe it's allowable.

    But it's kind of funny to see it happen.

    I'd really laugh if it was a running gag, and showed up in tales of the bounty hunters as well.

    It's also the stories of two different bands. [face_laugh]

    Maybe "Renuzit" markets a brand of Criminal Air Fresheners which Crime Lords and Hole-in-the-Wall Cantina owners can buy to make their establishments smell more like they're supposed to.

    New Brand:
    "Spilled Intoxicants and Sweaty Body Armor"

    I mean all of the other crimelords would think Jabba's soft if his place smells like B'omarr incense all of the time. Just like if Chalmun's cantina didn't smell inviting to filth, the filth would stay away. And what's the point of trying to own a filthy bar if you can't get any filth to come.

    Curiously, this new brand of air "de-freshener" seems to attract a lot of guards and henchmen, dancers and bounty hunters, humans and Jawas and Weequays and Arcona.
