Should the Gungans have been called Gundarks?

We all know the Solo line from ANH ..."strong enough to pull ears off a gundark".

Missed opportunity for some great mental images?

 

Ahem....
"I haven't felt you this tense since we fell into that nest of gundarks"


"I haven't felt you this tense since we fell into that nest of gungans"




sounds wrong if you ask me.

 

I agree. For a while actually I thought I was hearing Gungan until I put the captions on. Anyways I guess this is an opportunity to look up Gundark in The Essential Guide that I rarely look at.

...Wow, I never expected a Gundark to look like this. It's ears don't even seem to be its prominent feature although it is mentioned that they are large in the first paragraph. This thing has 4 arms, a Huge jaw with massive teeth. It also says that the reason the phrase "...strong enough to pull the ears off a Gundark" is used is because their ears grow to the same width of their heads during puberty. During puberty their strength peeks.

 

I for many years thought he said Gondor Ox. I Must admit that I wouldn't mind seeing jar jar's ears being pulled off by a wookie.

 

Here's another Han Solo quote: "Shut him up or shut him down!"

Spam thread. Ban.

 

The first time I heard it in TESB, I thought he said "gun dart".
