***The Yarael Poof Fan Club***

Yes. The one. The only one. He's the guy with the neck. He is the master of mind tricks. He is the man in the High Council.

Here's some facts about our character called Yarael Poof.

The Movies
Yarael Poof's appearance would be comical to most if not for the powerful presence in the Force he exuded. The alien Jedi was a member of the High Council on Coruscant during the Republic's final years. He was present when Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn brought young Anakin Skywalker before the Council to be trained. Poof was a tall being with spindly limbs and a long, slender neck which supported a bulbous head.

The Expanded Universe
Hidden beneath his traditional robes were four delicate arms which granted Yarael Poof remarkably dexterity. He is a member of the Quermian species, a race of sentient invertebrates related to the Troiken of Xexto. Poof's sensitive olfactory glands were located in his hands. Poof had two brains, one located inside his skull and the other in his chest cavity.

A sly Jedi Master, Poof was a master of Jedi mind tricks and could use the Force to quickly befuddle and mislead targets by conjuring false images in their minds. This is Poof's preferred method of combat, though like all Jedi, he carried a lightsaber.

Poof's Saga continues...

Hayden Chistensen: "Working on Ep2 was great. All these cool people who really like the movies. Although, there was this one dude, Yarael Poof...he kept bugging everyone. Didn't bother me as much, but he would always poke me with Yoda's cane and tell me 'the circle is now complete.' Heh, I would always humor him and play along, but he would usually run off through the set and argue that he told everyone to remain on the command ship."

Natalie Portman: (laughing), "Yeah, he always insisted that many things would change after Ep2 was released but that his caring for me would remain."

Rick McCallum: "It is so great to have all these returning characters, but Poof was questionable. He sometimes took over my job and would slam this gavel against the camera and scream "ORDER". I would often ask him to please calm down but his answer was always something like "Rick, will you defer your motion to allow a commission to be sent to the set to assess the validity of your accusations?".

Pernilla August: "I would always try to be friends with Poof but he would make fun of me and insist he was not looking for a friend, he is looking for a Jedi Master."

The legend of Poof will never die !

 

I'll Join! I like him!

 

He rocks. Count me in.

 

Ray Park: "All the cast members were great to work worth. The only one who got on my nerves was this Yarael Poof fellow. During my lightsaber training with Nick Gillard, Poof would come over and poke me with Yoda's cane and say 'Lord Maul, be mindful. Let me make the first move.'"

Ian McDiarmid: "I get along great with everyone...all except this one chap, Yarael Poof. When I first arrived on the set, Poof yelled out, 'The Director should never have brought him into this. Kill him immediately!'. I didn't understand him."

Liam Neeson: "I had a blast. That Yarael Poof was always cracking jokes, but sometimes I wasn't so sure he was joking. After the last day of shooting, he walked up behind me and laid 2 or 3 hands on my shoulder and said softly, 'I'll take good care, you have my word...Will you be alright?'"

Jake Lloyd: "I always tried to start conversation with Poof, but whatever I said to him, his only response was "Your destiny lies with meeeeee Skywalker".

 

Poof Lives!

 

LOL! Thanks G-S!

Hugh Quarshie: "Playing the Captain of the royal guards was fantastic. But sometimes it was ruined if Yarael Poof showed up. As I got positioned for a scene, Poof would always tell me 'You'll be a sitting duck!'. And during the Naboo scenes he always reminded me, 'This is not a battle I think you can win'."

Brian Blessed: "Sometimes I would be in the sound studio recording my lines for Boss Nass. Sometimes Poof would show up as well with coffee. He often provided words of encouragement, like 'Your guards demand that your life belongs to me now.'"

Silas Carson: "I actually had two roles in the movie. Yarael Poof always hung around the set to provide support. But he always made fun of my dual roles, saying 'Now there are two of them. This is getting out of hand!'. I would ignore him but when I did my Ki-Ad-Mundi scenes, he always told me I was the clue to unraveling the mystery of the Mundi."

Anthony Daniels: "I found Yarael Poof to be extremely vulgar. Never had nice things to say to me. Both the times we left Australia for Leavesden and from Leavesden to the States, Poof told me, "Hurry up, goldenrod, you're gonna be a permanent resident!". And during the shooting for Ep1 we were on a coffee break and he was holding the parts to my "unfinished" suit and said "I'm standing here holding your pieces and you're having delusions of grandeur!" Very rude."

Ray Park: "One time I had this really difficult stunt to do and Poof told George that the Empire would compensate him if I died."

Frank Oz: "Once on the set, Poof was seated in the Council chair and he was next to Yoda. He stood up, and remarked, 'You want the impossible', and then left the set."

 

LOL!

So, G-S are you going to join the club? If you are, just edit my list on the post earlier. Also you can spread the word trhough other Poof-fans, if you know any.

 

I'll join!

[b]Kenny Baker:[/b] "Well, I always enjoy playing R2-D2, so of course I accepted the offer to return to the character for Ep1. That is, until that mean Poof guy showed up. One day I lost my script which listed the movements for R2 in a scene. Poof screamed, 'It's the one you've been carrying inside your rusty innards.' I tried to plead with him and asked if he thought George would forgive me. He said, 'No. I don't think he likes you at all. No, I don't like you either.'"

[b]Natalie Portman:[/b] "Poof is just misunderstood. I like him, I guess. But the time I asked him to help me go over my lines he yelled at me, 'Negotiations? We've lost all communications!' And the time I offered to help shine his head, he pushed me to the ground quite harshly and screamed to Sabé, 'You are in command now, Admiral Piett!'"

[b]Warwick Davis:[/b] "I hate him. Someone asked him who I was one day and he said, 'A local. Come on let's get out of here before more droids show up.' And the last day of shooting, someone asked if he could help me carry my costumes to wardrobe. He simply answered, 'He deserves better than a slave's life.'"

 

Do I get special consideration for being the first member to join?

Poof, poof, poof, you da man!

 

Yoda: Like Yarael Poof, I do not! Always was he laughing at me, saying how my body was not as long as his neck! Too confident was he in his mind trick abilities. While shooting a coucil scene, said to me, Yarael did, "You don't want to sell me death sticks." Along with, "These aren't the droids you're looking for!" Stole my cane, he did on one occasion. Find it later I did...3 days later.

 

What the hell, I'll join the long neck club.

Horax, I'll think about it.

 

Yareal Poof is awsome can i join

 

Ben Burtt: "One day I came into the office to preview the Gungan Battle scene for George. What we didn't know was Poof had decided to play a practical joke - he's quite the effects guru! Anyway, I ran the footage of the battle and as the droid tanks came to a halt, they opened and revealed the racks of folded droids...only now they were folded Poof's! Yes, each one folded and identical. Then, like clockwork, they all rise and do a left-face and draw their rifles. We were all laughing so hard. Then they all start marching - imagine 1000 Poof's! Yes, we all laughed a good one, waiting for the inevitable clash with the Gungans...only they weren't there. It was 1000 Poofs attacking Sabé. We shut off the reel and George left the room.

Oliver Ford Davies: "Ep1 was great fun. Everyone got along well, except for Yarael Poof. Always annoying. Ask him a question, and it was always "Roger, roger." And if we threatened to cut him from the cast, it was always "They wouldn't dare." He was way too confident. One time he grabbed me by my shoulders and shook me in a violent way, screaming in my face, "You must contact me!".

Ahmed Best: "One day there was a power outage. Of course, Poof had to provide his two cents. "Mynocks...chewing on the power cables. Go on inside, I see if there are any more." So while the technicians fixed the power, we went to the cafe across the street. Poof stops walking in the middle of the road and almost gets hit by a bus. We all look and wonder what they hell he is doing. He just said, "This ground sure feels funny...doesn't feel like rock!"

Trisha Biggar: "We tried various costumes for Poof. He always had something to say. I might suggest a reddish-brown scheme and he would say, "Obi-Wan once thought as you do." Or if I suggested blue, it was, "You're lucky you don't taste very good." And when we decided on the final costume, he showed his appreciation for me by walking on the set and telling the cast that he was very sorry about all this and that after all, I am only a Wookie."

 

Cool! Count me in!

 

Ok, now that I'm done laughing my head off, it's time for me to join...


Ken Kenobi- And you have a nice day

 

And according to G-S, we have lot's of these great stories about Yarael.

LOL!

 

There funny!

 

George Lucas: "Sometimes Poof gets confused, but he is not a bad guy. Contrary to people's knowledge, Poof has been around for quite some time. During the filming of ROTJ, he wasn't aware of the storyline and he thought Jabba's execution skiff was a diving board into a pool, not the sarlacc. We stopped him in time. Probably the biggest problem during ROTJ were his blundering comments on set. He would approach Carrie Fisher and tell her, "Hey, I'm a scoundrel too." The scene where Boba Fett raises his blaster at the threat of the thermal detonator?...Poof had just told Fett his momma was a Bith. Fett, realizing he had no mother, was very upset. And later, he had many scenes as a starpilot for the rebellion. But in all if his scenes, his dialogue was improvised and unacceptable. Things like, "Suck on this, clone!", "Who's your daddy?", and "It's your birthday, Poof gonna fly all over this bit&^h." Very rude. I cut all of his scenes. He may yet appear in Ep3. He has asked for a plaid lightsaber and wants to be involved in a duel against Sabé. We'll see.

Kiera Knightley: "I played Sabé in Ep1. It was easy for the most part because the handmaidens were usually just in the background. Although Yarael Poof made our jobs hell. He always snuck into wardrobe and tried to convince George to let him be a handmaiden. But there is no way he would work because he is 4 feet taller than the rest of us. He was always trying to get close to me in particular. Whispering things to me on set like, "My neck is dirty too, what are you afraid of?", "I think you just can't stand to let a gorgeous neck like mine out of your sight", "Once we get into the throne room, you won't be a problem", and then during the battle scenes, he would back away and tell Padmé, "Sabé is brave, your highness." What is this guy's problem?!

"Suck on this, clone!", "Who's your daddy?", and "It's your birthday, Poof gonna fly all over this bit&^h."
