LA, CA Star Wars Character Calendar

I cut and paste. I was hoping that Jay would have done yesterday's. Well, I'm home today so either Jay or Skyryder will have to close out the week.

 

I cut and paste. I don't have that kind of time.

Tomorrw we have Tikkes he is a Quarren member of the Galatic Senate. Friday is no one special Ela Tips who looks human, but is wearing so type of gas mask and the picture is taken at the Coruscant Sports bar that Obi-Wan and Anakin follow Zam into. This weekend's character is Toonbuck Toora and is part of the Galatic Senate. She looks like a polar bear with red eyes, a beard, and is wearing a dress.

 

Thanks for handling the rest of the week, Skyryder. Today's character is Coleman Trebor, Jedi Master.

Homeworld:
Sembla

Species:
Vurk

Height:
2.13 meters

Weapon:
lightsaber

Affiliation:
Jedi

Jedi Master Coleman Trebor was a member of the Jedi High Council at the time of the outbreak of the Clone Wars. From within the towering spires of the Jedi Temple on Coruscant, the Council governed the actions of the Jedi Knights.
When a Jedi taskforce was needed to rescue captives and face a dangerous Separatist movement gearing for war, Master Trebor was one of the 200 Jedi that voyaged to Geonosis. Attempting to confront Count Dooku, former Jedi and leader of the Separatists, Coleman was callously shot by Dooku's henchman, bounty hunter Jango Fett.

Trebor was a reptilian humanoid with an elongated face, dark eyes, and a sweeping crest extending from his skull.

 

Today's Character is Feltipern Trevagg. There isn't much on him on the OS, but I do know they are making an action figure of him soon.

 

I'll leave today's to Jay. But since today is a new month, my wall calendar's theme this month is "Evil Intentions". It features conceptional drawings of Count Dooku's hangar, with his solar sailer and lightsaber battle scenes. It's pretty cool over all.

 

Okay, I waited more than a day and so I will go ahead and do yesterday's. Skyryder can do today's.

Yesterday's was a Tuskan Raider, a Tatooine savage. It's a shot of the one who attacked Luke. Here's stuff from the OS.

Homeworld:
Tatooine

Height:
1.8 meters

Diet:
omnivorous

Weapon:
gaderffii

Vehicle:
bantha

Associations:
gaderffii (gaffi stick)

Fearsome desert savages inhabiting the rocky Jundland Wastes, Tusken Raiders are the foremost reason Tatooine colonists do not wander far from their isolated communities. Extremely territorial and xenophobic, Tusken Raiders will attack with very little provocation. They show no allegiance to even their native world-mates, as these nomads have attacked Jawa scouting parties on occasion. They have even gathered numbers large enough to attack the outskirts of smaller towns like Anchorhead.
Covered from head-to-foot in tattered rags and robes, Tusken Raiders -- or Sand People as they are also known -- brandish a deadly bladed club known as a gaderffii. They also carry projectile rifles with which to shoot at passing vehicles. The male of the species tend to be the aggressors. Females can be distinguished by their elaborate jeweled masks with eyeslits and torso-covering sand-shrouds. Tusken children wear unisex cowls and simple cloaks.

For transportation, Sand People have domesticated the hardy bantha -- a longhaired spiral-horned quadruped also found on Tatooine. These nomads purposely travel in single file, to conceal their numbers.

 

Yep, I was waiting for Jay too, but nothing.

Today's Character is Ratts Tyerell he was one of the pod racers in Ep I.

 

Well, I was off sick on Friday so I was not able to post but Friday's character was Captain Typho, Senator Amidala's Head of Security. Has it amused anyone else that the Senator's head security guy lacks depth of perception so either his aim is really, really good or he has some sort of enhancements to help. It seems to be to be a bad choice. Here's stuff from the OS.

The vigilant Captain Typho was Senator Amidala's head of security. Typho was the nephew of Captain Panaka, who had served Amidala when she was Queen. Striving for stronger security measures, Typho adopted several of his uncle's unfailing practices, including the use of disguised decoy "handmaidens" to protect the Senator.
Typho was an unquestionably resilient officer, willing to defer to Jedi authorities when the situation became too grim. On the day of the important Military Creation Act vote, a sudden and explosive strike against the Naboo Royal Cruiser killed seven in his command, including the Senator's decoy, Cordé. After that uncomfortably close call, a pair of Jedi protectors were assigned to watch over Padmé, but even that wasn't enough. The assassin struck again, nearly killing Padmé with a pair of poisonous kouhuns.

After that second attempt, Padmé was secretly transported off the capital to Naboo. Typho and handmaiden Dormé remained behind.

Typho is a stern bodyguard with a grim visage marked with a leather eye-patch. He is an able pilot, capable of flying a Naboo N-1 starfighter as a security escort.

This weekend's was Bogg Tyrell, female Aleena. I think she is related to Ratts Tyrell.

 

Today's character is the Ugnaught.
Ugnaughts are a species of humanoid-porcine beings who live and work on Bespin's Cloud City. They are usually found in the Tibanna gas processing plants, or as general laborers throughout the city. Ugnaught workers are barely one meter tall, have pink skin, hog-like snouts and teeth, and long hair. Their clothes are gray, with blue smocks.
The Ugnaughts originally hail from Gentes, in the Anoat system, from where they were sold into slavery long ago. When the Corellian eccentric and noble Lord Ecclessis Figg wished to build a floating mining complex on Bespin, he decided to recruit several Ugnaught tribes to help in the mining of the base metals needed to build the structure. To this end, he recruited three Ugnaught tribes, the Botrut, the Isced and the Irden. He promised them freedom, livelihood and a share in the Figg & Associates profits. To make themselves feel at home, the Ugnaughts have constructed many labyrinthine tunnels throughout the city, which can only be navigated by their kind.
Ugnaughts have a rich oral tradition. They are ruled by elected terend councils, which are led by elected ufflor officers. Ugnaughts live to 200 years of age and are represented in the Cloud City's Parliament of Guilds. Ugnaughts live their lives in accordance to their blood profession, with Ugnaught parents teaching their children their trade. If the number of new Ugnaughts in a given profession exceeds the need, a blood duel is called. When the Ugnaughts reach their twentieth year of age, these fights are held to the death, with the victor winning the right to inherit their blood profession. Aside from this uncharacteristic and outdated violent custom, the Ugnaughts are generally a peaceful people with a rich culture.

Shortly after the Battle of Hoth, the Cloud City mining colony fell under the rule of Imperial Captain Treece, who brought back slave-like conditions to the Ugnaughts. Many Ugnaughts fled the city, led by the wealthy King Ozz who sheltered the refugees on floating platforms terraformed to mimic the Ugnaught homeworld. King Ozz's Ugnaughts brought about an insurrection on Cloud City, planting a series of bombs in the outpost. The city was evacuated until the bombs could be defused.

When the Empire was ousted and justice brought back to Cloud City, the Ugnaughts returned.

*** And the are also pretty cool to kill in the Bounty Hunter Game on PS2

 

I was leaving yesterday's open because I wanted to do today's. Yesterday was Luminari Undali. Today's is my hero, Darth Vader. Here's stuff from the OS.

Species:
Human

Gender:
Male

Height:
2.02 meters (in armor)

Weapon:
Lightsaber

Vehicle:
TIE Advanced x1, Executor

Affiliation:
Empire, Sith

Darth Vader, Dark Lord of the Sith, was the scourge of the Jedi, a master of the dark side of the Force, and one of the Emperor's most trusted servants. He wasn't always a fearsome enforcer, however.
He began life as Anakin Skywalker, a young slave from Tatooine skilled in piloting and strong in the Force. Once discovered by maverick Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn, Anakin was taken before the Jedi Council to be trained. There was some controversy on the subject -- despite Jinn's adamant assurances that Skywalker was the chosen one spoken of in an ancient Jedi prophecy, the council was hesitant to allow his training at the age of nine.

Finally, the council agreed that Anakin should be trained, and he was assigned to Jedi Knight Obi-Wan Kenobi. Kenobi recklessly thought that he could be as skillful a master as Yoda. His mistakes had dire consequences for the galaxy.

Skywalker was seduced by the dark side of the Force. Fueled by rage and discontent with the pace of Obi-Wan's training, Anakin challenged his master to a duel. Despite newfound power bestowed by the dark side of the Force, which added to his already formidable abilities, Anakin was grievously wounded in the fight. His burning anger kept him alive, and he was forever scarred not only by his wounds but also by betrayal. He abandoned his former identity. When metal coupled with flesh in the form of cyborg implants and enhancements required to sustain him, Skywalker's transformation was complete. He was no longer Anakin. He was Darth Vader.

At the time of his transformation, Vader never knew he was due to be the father of twins. Obi-Wan Kenobi hid the children from the Dark Lord and Vader's master, Emperor Palpatine. Vader somehow discovered that he had a son, Luke Skywalker, but never suspected he had a daughter, Leia, who was secretly taken to be raised by Bail Organa, Viceroy and First Chairman of Alderaan.

In the chaos that accompanied Palpatine's rise to power, Vader became one of the Emperor's most loyal servants. The Emperor entrusted him with the elimination of the Jedi Knights. During these dark times, Vader and his agents destroyed the Jedi order.

When the Galactic Civil War raged across the Empire, Darth Vader was tasked with discovering the location of the Rebel Alliance's secret base. Vader captured Rebel operative Princess Leia Organa and had her tortured to reveal the location of the hidden fortress. Vader also sought technical plans stolen by the Rebels. These plans carried the complete schematics of the Empire's most powerful weapon, the Death Star battle station. When a rescue team successfully liberated the princess, Vader found himself face to face with his former master, Obi-Wan Kenobi. Vader defeated the aged Jedi Knight in a lightsaber duel.

Using the stolen plans to pinpoint the Death Star's weakness, Rebel forces launched a starfighter attack on the station. Entering the battle, Vader piloted his own specially modified fighter. He managed to destroy the most Rebel pilots in the battle, but was forced out of the conflict when his own vessel was crippled by the Millennium Falcon.

Three years after the destruction of the Death Star, Vader led an elite squadron of Star Destroyers headed by his flagship, the Super Star Destroyer Executor. He was to seek out and capture the Rebels responsible for the Death Star's demise. Eventually, Vader tracked the Rebels down to the ice-world of Hoth. There, he launched a ground attack destroying the base. His quarry, the Millennium Falcon, escaped.

During the Hoth campaign, the Emperor commanded Vader to track down the "son of Skywalker," and have Vader turn him to the dark side of the Force. Vader planned to use Skywalker's friends as bait to lure him int

 

Okay, I guess everyone has lost interest in this thread but yesterday's character is Supreme Chancellor Finis Valorum. Here's stuff from the OS.

Species: Human

Gender: Male

Affiliation: Galactic Senate, Galactic Republic

One of the last Supreme Chancellors to hold that office before the Galactic Republic crumbled to make way for an oppressive Empire, Valorum was a well-meaning but ill-fated politician. When the Trade Federation blockaded the peaceful system of Naboo, Valorum circumvented bureaucratic procedure by dispatching a secret mission of Jedi ambassadors to negotiate an end to the crisis.
The negotiations failed as the Trade Federation attacked the ambassadors before talks could even begin. Queen Amidala of the Naboo voyaged to Coruscant to present her case to the assembled Senate. Valorum was genuinely pleased to see the Queen alive, but he was of no help in the Senate hall, where he had to abide by the proper bureaucratic measures.

The Trade Federation was quick to stall any of Amidala's claims of invasion by demanding a commission be appointed to investigate the accusation. Frustrated by lack of common sense or interest in what was just, Amidala lambasted the assembled politicians for their ineffective rule. She singled out Valorum specifically, on the advice of Palpatine, for his inability to take decisive action. She called for a Vote of No Confidence in Valorum's rule. The vote was soon seconded, and the political backlash cascaded throughout the rotunda. By the end of the session, Valorum was voted out of office, with no greater crime on his head than being bound by procedure and subjected to baseless accusations. Little did the Republic realize what they had in store by voting Palpatine to succeed him.

 

Nope, I just haven't been at my work desk in days.

 

Today's Character is General Veers.
The quintessential Imperial soldier, General Veers is a stern and polished military man completely loyal to the New Order. Veers commanded the ground forces attached to Lord Vader's elite Imperial Death Squadron. When Vader discovered the Alliance base on Hoth, Veers prepared an invasion army to knock out the Rebel shield generator protecting the base.
Veers' force consisted of Imperial AT-AT walkers supported by AT-STs. From his command position atop the lead walker, Veers ordered the laser barrage that vaporized the Rebel power generator, allowing Vader to land on the besieged world. Hordes of Imperial snowtroopers armed with heavy weaponry then infiltrated Echo Base with frightening speed.
Maximilian Veers was a loyal Imperial who excelled during his classes at the Academy, achieving an officer's commission at a young age. Veers was dismayed by the complacency and incompetence of officers senior to him, and proved his worth when he saved his lackluster commander, General Irrv, from a native insurrection on Culroon III. For that action, young Lt. Veers saw promotion to major.
When Veers married and had a son, he became what the Imperial propaganda posters lauded as the ideal Imperial citizen: a proud military man with a productive family unswervingly loyal to the Imperial cause. Tragedy struck a few years later when Veers' wife died, leaving Maximilian to raise his young son Zevulon. Not exactly a caring father, Veers was a rigid disciplinarian, who insisted his son honor his mother's memory by serving in the military.

Despite not playing the hierarchical game of politics found throughout the Imperial echelons, Veers continued to rise. As a Colonel, he was transferred to the high profile Death Star assignment. He and a handful of officers escaped the station's destruction at Yavin, having to survive on his own in the jungles of the fourth moon after his escape shuttle was shot down.

Veers eventually rejoined the Empire proper, earning the rank of General and command of the ground forces assigned to Lord Vader's Imperial Death Squadron. Although Hoth was a considerable victory for Veers, he faced personal shame when his teenage son defected to the Rebellion.

Not much is known of Veers' activities after the fall of the Empire at Endor. He surfaced again during the resurrected Emperor's campaign as a ground officer at the Battle of Balmorra.

At least one person not to die from Darth Vader.

 

Thanks, Skyryder. I forgot you are probably busy with that party. Too bad about Veers' son. Nowadays I can't watch him without thinking of "The Last Crusade".

This weekend's Character is Ayy Vida, a Coruscant Nightclub Patron. I did not expect to find anything on her in the OS but lo and behold I was wrong. Here you go.

Species: Twi'lek

Gender: Female

The Coruscant nightclub scene is a co-meddling of many different alien cultures. Representatives from species throughout the Republic and from different walks of life congregate, unified in their desires and actions. Ayy Vida is just one of many beautiful female Twi'leks that can be found in the entertainment district. Her mottled stripes set her apart from the more uniformly pigmented examples of her species. Vida is a known acquaintance of such nightclub patrons as Achk Med-Beq, and the purple Twi'lek, Lunae Minx.

 

Today's character is WA-7, the waitress droid from Dex's Diner. Here's stuff from the OS.

Type: waitress droid

Affiliation: Dex's Diner

Associations: WA-7

A spirited antique droid waitress, WA-7 served the patrons of Dexter's Diner with officious precision and the programmed equivalent of sass. A streamlined mechanical in a shape that suggests a humanoid female, WA-7 had a sleek build complete with a decorative metallic skirt and an agile unipod wheel.

 

Hey, guys. Im tired of my Star Wars character calendar. It's a good thing that I received a Lord of the Rings character calendar for Chanukah for 2005. Can I post every day's character on this thread?

 

Today's character is Wald. He was Anakin's Rodian friend from the pod race. I'm sure he is related to Greedo in some way.

 

Today's character is the Wampa, a Hoth Ice Creature. It's a shot from the SE.

Jay, it's okay by me. Next year's Star Wars Calendar is a trivia one. I'm all set for next year.

 

Today we have Wicket. That's all.

 

Today's character is Watto.

 

I like how we have just cut to the chase and put only the name now.
