Moff Panaka good or bad

"This one red button does seven different things. You just have to trust it to do the right one. If it does something you don't expect, you're better off doing what it wants you to do."

 

Naming your game Zelda gave you an entire new and harder game . . . and those pesky sword-stealing orange bubbles, in the original NES. I always hoped using a certain name here would do somethign special. Still, why use their silly random names when you can make your own? Pooky, Fartmaster, Lesbianator, Groaner, and I don't know what else my friend once said he used in his games.

 

Let's see Amidala get past Maul on her own.

Only because they had something more important to do...

Maul Madness

 

I doubt he was that bad. It was because of the Republic's corruption that Naboo was invaded and nothing was done, I imagine he would support Palpatine for doing away with all of that. I wonder how Typho feels about this...

 

I hereby challange all those budding SW artists to paint a picture of Moff Panaka, complete with Tarkin-style uniform and recolored Naboo cap!

No they weren't. They had no idea that Maul was there. They were protecting the Queen. It's what Jedi do.

 

Where is it stated that Panaka became a Moff? I must've missed it.

 

AND Draw out the Queen's attacker Jello.

What magic land where the Jedi are not the defenders of the noble and true do you live in anyway? Sithville?

Suffice to say, the Jedi help the innocent and serve to protect those who need it. The Naboo should be grateful for their aid.

 

>>>Where is it stated that Panaka became a Moff? I must've missed it. <<<

Inside the Worlds of the OT mentions a piece of art given to Palpatine by a "Moff Panaka." It doesn't explicitly state that TPM Panaka is the Moff, but most people seem to think that he is.

Ye bring this upon yourselves...

Moff Panaka, and Grand Moff 4-8C. Only half-finished, though...

 

I was hoping for something like that. Was that little green piece of fabric part of 4-8C's original Missions design, or did you come up with that?

TC

 

Its something I came up with, based on something similar worn by Lon Isoto in the Rogue Squadron comics, since I wanted to differentiate him from a normal IG-unit and didn't want to just put the rankbars on his body. IIRC, the Mission image (I think there's one, but I could be misremembering) just shows a generic IG-88 picture.

If I ever redraw 4-8C, I'll add a bandoleer of rank cylinders.

Ah ha! I knew that looked familliar. Nice visual connection there.

That's awesome

It's also worth mentioning that Star Wars Galaxies features one "Colonel Panaka" of the RSF. I know SWG doesn't have much sway in the EU (though thanks to Abel's Lord of War, this might finally change), but still interesting...

Note that SWG is set roughly 1 ABY.

 

A nephew, perhaps? Or maybe even a son.

>>>Ah ha! I knew that looked familliar. Nice visual connection there. <<<



One note: I doubt that Panaka would still be wearing his neck-protector thingy while he was a Moff. However, the hat design could still work, because similarly large Imperial caps were seen in Dark Empire (I tried to modify his hat a bit to look more like those.)

 

Typho is Panaka's newphew, but he might have another one.

 

More likely he was just a Colonel before he was promoted to Moff.

That's a pretty big jump, IMO. I would have expected him to at least be governor, or a higher rank like general, before becoming a Moff.

Here's the card image of 4-8C (which might actually be 4-ATC, if the article's author is to be believed... )

He had two years--Galaxies is, what, 2 ABY, and ROTJ is 4 ABY? Commander Piett made Admiral within three years...
