New Essential Guide to Droids

Huh.

Someone who's listened to that needs to add it to Wookieepedia.

 

I actually re-listened to it only a month or so ago.

 

I've added a brief mention on the Vuffi Raa page, based on comments in this thread. Anyone who has actually heard the radio drama is welcome to expand/alter it. Also, does the book mention anything about The One, the being who was considered to be his creator prior to the intro of the Silentium? Or is The One part of this group?

 

Did anyone get it yet?

 

I took a glance through it at a Barns N Nobel today. Of course I was looking for the Mandalorian parts, and I must say they came off very well. Especially the BL series droid part.

It made the Mandalorian part in the war almost seem a little more important, and the little toast dialogue was way cool. Made the Mandalorians come off way Spartan.

EDIT: Need I also add that it looks like some of the cut KOTOR 2 material is now Canon.

The cutscene where HK-47 and HK-50's betray GO-TO on Malachor is now Canon.

 

did anyone notice that the YVH looks almost exactly like a Terminator with out the skin.

 

An anon on Wookieepedia has stated that the entries for T3 and HK refer to the Exile as female. Can someone with a copy confirm or deny this?

 

Can someone please update Wookiepedia's Battle Legionnaire article with a new pic and new info?

 

Aieeeeee!!!!! Confirmation now!

 

Argh! Am I the only one who can't access the wookie??

 

I don't have it right in front of me, but I can confirm with 99.999% certainty that the Exile is, indeed, identified as female.

 

Damn it. I guess it's more important to have our protagonists balanced than to care about which story is better.

 

Ah, it works again

And I do hope someone posts nice scans of it for the wookie

Finkman: what does Vuffi Raa's adult version look like??

 

As to Vuffi's adult form, it's not clearly labeled as such. Basically, there's a picture of him as I always assumed he'd look (squid-like, I guess you'd say), and the data provided (size, etc.) clearly relate to that form. Then, there's another picture of him as a sphere, although that it right next to the other picture, so they appear to be of the same scale. I assume, however, that the sphere (with a giant red eye on top) is supposed to be his adult form, although again, with nothing else for scale, it's sort of hard to tell.

 

Cool! Thanks

 

By the way, for anyone else who has this now, what did you think of the Monster Droid? Man, that really made my day!

 

Darth Culator confirmed it on the Wookiee

None of the stores round here have it today I am so pissed off. I need my reading material must absorb more information

 

Ooh, Darth Culator started uploading scans at wookiepedia

Here are some he put of Vuffi Raa:

I looked at this today. I was disappointed under "Cyborgs"
That they didn't list D'harhan. He was such a cool character.

 

I'm not planning to do many. (The background grid bugs the heck out of me but it's a chore to get rid of it.)

I mainly did Vuffi Raa because he was already a Featured Article.

This book has so much continuity it makes my head hurt. I'm going to have to read it once for fun and twice for assimilating the retcons. Here there be spoilers.

Great Heep is an Abominor. Vuffi Raa is an agent of the Silentium. Abominors fought the Silentium until both were driven out by their galaxy's "previously ignored organics." Is there a possibility this could be the origin of Vong technophobia?
Exile is pretty obviously female. One feminine reference could be a mistake. Three is a deliberate editorial decision.
R9 looks like an R2 with extra head greeblies. Deliberate marketing decision by IA?
Cortosis Battle Droids finally have a proper name, and they're C-B3s, rounding out the B1-B2-"Ultra Battle Droid" family tree.
G0-T0 doesn't look like an IT-0, IT-0 looks like G0-T0.
Love some of the quotes. Especially on the Dark Trooper: "I told you it would never work." -- Sate Pestage

This is terrific. And hooray for Amazon for delivering it today.

 

Ah yes, it's so much better when they just put images with a simple white background


Thanks for all of these spoilers and stuff, they're fantastic!

 

I'm trying to figure out how the Vong, if it is them that is meant, could drive away a species that can one-shot an ISD, and a species THAT species was at war with.

 

mrsvos, where were you when I needed you?

Dan

 

Well, I think it wasn't so much that they were driven off as they drove the Vong off, and in the process destroyed everything worth living for in that galaxy, rendering it useless for both groups
