ST Star Wars Pirates

If these guys are pigeon-holed as Pirates I wonder what particular 'piratey' things they do? Will we see them disabling and boarding another ship in space? Will they be drinking lots of blue rum? Will we catch them burying Luke's lightsabre in the desert and then placing a big X over the spot?

And on a more serious note are they linked with the Pirate's Cove and/or the black and orange X-Wing?

 

Drinking at the SCUMM(tm) bar, hopefully.

But good spotting on the Pirate's Cove connection.

 

Smuggling, of course! Boarding ships, getting paid for hire to do dastardly (or heroic, depending on your POV) things...

Who doesn't love a little bit of Pirate? In fact, you could argue that Han Solo is, in some ways, the earlier "space" version of Captain Jack Sparrow.

There's a certain romance, if you will, to pirate lore, and I'm all for seeing it in the SW universe on screen. Sounds fun!

 

This thread is a great way to round up and catch all those wishing to pirate and bootleg the movie

 

smugglers get paid to sneak contraband across the galaxy
space pirates loot ships, pillage planets.

 

I laffed

"I refuse to acknowledge you're right because I don't like you. Now here's a condescending image created to deflect any criticism of online behavior."

 

An assassin's creed like pirate ?

 

I wonder if they're raiders/ scavengers rather than space pirates? Wasn't there a rumour raiders came upon JB's crashed TIE and DR fights them off?

 

DING! DING! DING! DING! DING! DING!

Beat me to it.

 

remember, i still put this on at night a few times a year

 

Great stuff. I'd definitely assume there'd be an alien pirate amongst them. The Serkis character possibly?

 

Ha. I remember their ship was very Star Warsy in design

 

Are the pirates heroes or villains? Are they Force-users?

 

SCUMM, the Society for the Creation of the Ultimate Mayhem and Madness!


I like that Ice Pirates is getting more traction in this thread then that other pirate movie.

 

Pirates have a long history with Star Wars I'm liking

EXT. MOS EISLEY SPACEPORT - DOCKING PORT 23

Han and his lumbering first-mate Chewbacca hurry along
behind MONTROSS HOLDAACK, a large, portly man who walks
with a stiff, awkward gait. They move along a tall
gantry overlooking a long, complex spacecraft.

HAN
But you're my friend, my best and closest
partner. Oxus will still listen to you!
He will, I tell you, I know he will. I
really have a live one this time. I asked
for a million, and he didn't even flinch,
and the way he fights -- he must belong to
one of the royal families, I'm just sure of
it. This may be worth two million, maybe
three. You've got to talk to Oxus...You've
just got to...

MONTROSS
Like your information on the AKURIAN spice
shipment...After that botch, if I WERE
crazy enough to suggest another one of your
plots to him, he'd have us both diced...

HAN
But this is different. This is our
chance. Are we partners or not? Are you
going to dream away the rest or your life,
or are we going to try for the big one?

MONTROSS
The only way Oxus would go along is if you
killed him...I'm too old, Han. I can't do
it, you'll have to find someone else.

HAN
There's no time. What kind of talk is
this? Where's the old Montross that
single-handedly destroyed a colony of
Banthas and rescued me from the very jaws
of death?? Montross, the greatest science
officer in the galaxy, too old?!

MONTROSS
You young fool!

Montross suddenly ignites in a rage and swings his left
forearm down with a mighty blow across the metal rail of
the gantry. The old science officer's forearm cracks in
two, spewing forth wires, and many fine multi-colored
electronic components.

The artificial limb flops lifelessly to Montross
Holdaack's side.

MONTROSS (CONT'D)
You know, there is nothing left but my head
and right arm... I've lost too much,
Han...I'm dying...I'm dying this time...
I'm losing control.

Han bows his head in sorrow and embarrassment for one of
the greatest warriors in the galaxy and a dear friend.

HAN
Take it easy...I'm sorry. Don't be upset.
What am I going to do? He's going to be
here shortly wanting to go to Ogana! I'll
just have to talk to Oxus myself. I'll
take care of everything. We'll get you
fixed up, once and for all.

47. INT. PIRATE STARSHIP - ENTRY BAY

The entry bay of the large starship is also the main
lounge area of the ship. Two gruff and grisly pirates
are playing a kind of dice game with thin little sticks.
The larger and mangiest of the two slavering hulks, JABBA
THE HUTT by name, throws his dice at Chewbacca.

JABBA
I told you not to bring that thing on board
again...Where have you been
anyway...Captain wants the conveyor system
extended...and I notice you haven't turned
around those punch chips yet. What are we
keeping you on board for anyway?

Chewbacca slinks back outside the starship as Han helps
the still slightly crazed Montross aboard the craft. Han
generally ignores Jabba's tirade.

HAN
Where is everybody, anyway?

JABBA
They took the shipment of "Covina" to
Gordon. But the captain is still here, so
get to work or I'll snap you myself.

HAN
Where is he?

JABBA
On the bridge, I think. I wouldn't go
looking for trouble, though...He'll sting
you good if you bother him.

The second pirate notices Montross's arm, as Han sets him
on a bench near the door.

PIRATE
Montross fall apart again?

JABBA
What's this ship coming to? We've got a
good-for-nothing "cabin boy" and a
disintegrating science officer.

48. INT. PIRATE STARSHIP - COCKPIT

The cockpit of the starship is crowded with a haphazard
array of computer switches and monitors. Dozing in one
of the two pilot chairs is CAPTAIN OXUS, a man of the
grossest dimensions. His scarred face is a grim
testimonial to his prowess as a pirate and a killer. The
young Han Solo enters the cabin and stands staring at the
evil galactic buccaneer -- the terror of the Outland
territories -- so peaceful, such an easy prey. Han
doesn't know quite what to do, so he starts to leave.
Oxus opens one eye. He is in a drunken stupor.

OXUS
What have you been up to, boy?? You
finished with the conveyor system? Bring
me some more "Auraspice"!

Han bows low before his master, then moves down the
narrow passageway to a small closet, where he takes out a
cup of silver powder and returns to Oxus.

HAN
Your spice; sir...Ah, sir, may I...

OXUS
You blasted, good-for-nothing. Go fetch my
tallock! And be quick. Now get out of
here!

He takes a mighty swing at the boy, but his inebriated
condition causes the blow to ricochet off, and slam
against a locker panel. Han rushes out of the room.

49. INT. PIRATE STARSHIP - HALLWAY

Han is angry with himself for not being able to tell the
captain about Luke. He kicks the door to a locker in
disgust. Suddenly an idea comes to him and he rushes
back down the hallway.

 

Yes, I was wondering the same thing.

 

Is that a Y-wing with an X-wing nosecone? Sounds like the pirate "Ugly" starfighters from the EU.





Taking EU concepts and making something new out of it (EU never did X-wing/Y-wing hybrid)? I approve.

Edit: my bad, that's not from VII, is it?

 

No it is not.

 

Ah, crud. That's what I get for getting excited.

 

I wonder if the pirates find One-Eyed Willie's treasure map that leads to a stash of Sith artifacts.
