    Well, he hasn't tackled what's dear to me yet, but if he ever does, he'll be an enemy. :p

    I merged your thread with this one since it's about someone who appeared I'm the holiday special, and this thread is in part; about the holiday special. That way we don't have single threads on actors/guitariats or subjects that would be better suited for a main thread.

    That being said, R.I.P Mr. Kantner.

    I was just reading this morning that Don Francks has died. Francks was the first ever voice of Boba Fett in the Holiday Special. He played Boba Fett again in Droids as well as Jann Tosh and Kybo Ren. I didn't realize that he was also the father of Cree Summer, the voice of Princess Kneesaa! Thank you to Don Francks for bringing life to some of the favourite characters of my childhood.

    He was also the voice of Umwak, the Dulok shaman in Ewoks. RIP mr. Francks. :(

    RIP. The shaman was my favorite Dulok and my favorite of the Droids & Ewoks characters he voiced.

    It would be okay, but I'd prefer if they were re-canoned as actual events (as they so far haven't really contradicted anything in the new canon).

    Well the TV forum was created around the time the Micro-series was beginning, and news of that would have broken early 2003, so that's about right.

    It's always interesting to go back to the beginning of these threads that are a decade or more old and see who was posting back then and how long it has been since they quit posting. Sometimes you come across some current posters who were posting way back then as well.

    It's funny to go back to some of the threads in the prequel forum. Like one was if Chewie and Han would appear and apparently Peter Mayhew has been on this site?

    When was this forum created?

    Not sure. I'm guessing that these boards were formed (or at least the original jedi council board) was formed around the same time the special edition came out. That would have also been around the same time when the internet was really starting to become mainstream.

    What would you say the chances are that the four-armed chef that Harvey Korman played is the same race as General Grievous?

    As amazing a connection that would be, Grievous is a Kaleesh. Just two arms. Though I guess the four-arm look could have been inspired by Gormaanda's species; either hers or the Besalisks.
