Rocky M, NC Star Wars Trivia

Riff, your new icon is creepy as HELL!!!

Okay back to your reguarly scheduled program.

 

Sank you beddy much!

 

The Suncrusher was the one I had in mind... I didn't think of the Skipray Blastboat.... So Entropy is up next. Oh and I'll try to be clearer on future questions.

"If you seek knowledge and understanding look to the Force.
If you seek pain and suffering look no further than me."

 

Note: As far as I know, the answer to this has never offically been confirmed by Lucas, but I figure at least one of you would have heard about it anyway.

Why are Imperial blaster bolts green and Rebel blaster bolts red?

 

George Lucas was using this as a reference seperating good from evil. He got it from World War II, where are tracers were basically red, and the Germans tracers were green.

 

Theories (though I try not to get into the "technical" aspects, as Star Wars is space fantasy (!) and not science fiction.

Red = passion, reflecting the passion of the rebels
Green = a "cooler" color, reflecting the coldness of the empire

or

The Empire produces armaments of war, controlling the means of production. They can get what they want.

The Rebels have to "shop around" - probably way out on the Outer Rim or so forth, so they get what they can get. Perhaps these small, (in most if not all cases) illegal weapons producers favor the "red", either by choice or necessity.

But the Rebels use what they can get, so I'm sure some of them somewhere use confiscated Imperial weapons.

I don't know, just thinking.

 

Wow... cool theories... I like it .

"If you seek knowledge and understanding look to the Force.
If you seek pain and suffering look no further than me."

 

Riff gave the answer that I was looking for, though I think it was based off of the Vietnam era tracers, not WWII (but I could be mistaken).

 

My bad. I was typing the answer, and taking this BORING class, but thats what I meant, yes. Give me a moment for the next question.

 

What race is Walrusman from the cantina scene in ANH? And what bodily feature divides his race between what is considered the upper class (or caste) and the lower class?

 

I think you are talking about the guy who loses an arm in the cantina scene... Is that the arse face race... that divide their species because something about their arms... some grow back others don't?

Walrusman = Ponda Baba = an Aqualish

The 2 races (caused by a differences in costume) are the flipper variety and the hands variety.

For the prequels, Lucas added an extra pair of eyes to Aqualish. Whether this will be another "race" or if Ponda Baba will digitally receive extra "eyes" is unknown.

 

He's an Aqualish, I think. Not sure about the second part of the question. Would it be the difference in their hands? One sect has fins, the other has clawed fingers?

 

Good try, Lodreh. Very close.

Eddie-wan and Joe-da, you are correct. However, Eddie-wan, Joe-da beat you to it. Your up, Joe-da.

 

What is the name of the senator who was filmed for Episode I as Bail Organa, but wasn't used, so his name was changed for the photos of him?

 

Adrian Dunbar, and he was used for a pic of Bail Antilles.

 

Whose brain was in the CPU of the 2nd Death Star, and what was it getting ready to initiate moments before it was blown up?

 

An Assassin Droid... named... (*blank*)... I can't remember...

IG-88?

Don't believe it! It's EU... but Lodreh has the correct EU answer.

 

Cool... try thisaone:

What was the Tarkin Doctrine?

Lod-Reh SaJon ~
"If you seek knowledge and understanding look to the Force.
If you seek pain and suffering look no further than me."

 

In a nutshell, it was a plan from Tarkin to help control the Imperial regions through fear of force, and develop massive weapons of destruction. It got him his rank of Grand Moff. Do you want me to get more detailed on it, or does that sum it up well enough?

 

After all, it was *I* who approved it!

 

How about an easy one.... What race has a semi-well known bounty hunter in ESB, that lives on a planet whose atmosphere consists of gases poisonous to humans, and many of their kind are known as Findsmen?

Very, very easy. So, I will add a second part to the question that is even easier.... WHAT was that bounty hunters name?

 

Bossk and he was a lizard man... Transdoshan.
