Wedge Antilles hops on one transparisteel leg

Was recently struck by the sheer volume of people in the SWU with prosthetic body parts. Seems a fairly high number of folks. Has anyone attempted to compile some sort of list? I'm too lazy to look.

Just off the top of my head:

Luke Skywalker
Anakin Skywalker/ Darth Vader
Nawara Ven
Booster Terrik
Lobot
Grand Admiral Teshik
Harrsk
Bao Dur
Empatojayos Brand
Ton Phallan
Cay Qel-Droma
Derrik "Hobbie" Kilivan
Baron Tagge
Skorr
Qerl
General Grievous
Morouth Doole
Tremayne
Aurra Sing
Darth Malak
Nikkos Marr- I think he counts?
Arden Lyn
Narra
Screed
That one Moff Guy who was involved in a plot to kill vader..... T-something.....

 

Can't tihnk of anyone else offhand but, awesome job on the title reference.

 

Thank you, Thank you.... One of my truly favoriteAllston moments, and therefore one of my favorite Star Wars moments alltogether....

 

AHA! I knew it was T-something!
Thank you Jello!

 

Wasn't there a "cyborg" thread a few weeks back? I'll look for it...

 

Valance the Hunter
Archa Sabis

 

Ah, here's the thread.

 

Meh! I cant have any good ideas on my own! *grumble* My thread has a cooler name though!

 

Ooryl Qyrgg has a prosthetic IIRC.

 

Would Malak's "jaw" really be considered a prosthetic? All it is is a hunk of metal.

 

I dunno.... Ermm... He wasnt born with it....

 

Glaive's padawan, whose name escapes me.

 

Ooryl doesn't have a prosthetic. Being a Gand, he can regenerate his body parts. Though when he lost about half his arm, the New Republic docs were going to put one on, but that's when they found out about his regenerative capabilities. It's in X-Wing: Rogue Squadron.

 

Wedge has a fake leg? When did this happen?

 

Lol. Project Mindfield was one of Warlord Zsinj's pet project. It involved brainwashing people and planting a suggestion. They are given a trigger phrase which, when spoken, activates their planted suggestion. A planted agent aboard the Mon Remonda tells the Twilek pilot Tal'dira "Wedge Antilles hops on one transparisteel leg". That is the phrase that activates his planted suggestion, which is that he should kill Wedge Antilles..... Its in Either Wraith Squadron or Iron Fist or Solo Command, dont remember, but its Classic Aaron Allston.

Uggh.... I used the word Plant way too many times.....

 

I don't know when it happened. All I know is that it's a terrible thing that Wedge Antillies, supposed hero of the New Republic, could sink so low as to hop on one transparisteel leg. This is corruption of the lowest and most vile sort. There can only be one solution:

Wedge Antillies must die.

TC

 

Precisely!!!

That and the Wookies dancing in the parlor, and the Ewoks up that Sullustan's nose..... Hehehe..... they were singing and having Ewok parties.... hhehehe....They were the three funniest moments in SW history imho, and they all happened in the same book!

 

In Solo Command. Not too far in IIRC.

 

Actually, if I recall correctly, the thing about Wedge as a code phrase was towards the end of the book just before the final battle with Znsji. That was when he went after Wedge to bring honor back to him.

As for funniest moments, I think the Wedge Purge tops those three by far. That and Hobbie's plan to for how they should kill Janson, Wedge's ordering Janson to shoot down the sun, Hobbie's accusing looks at Wedge for making him dress in drag, Tycho's comments about what it would take to get Janson to mature, and Hobbie's comments about wanting to destroy something with out all the "I'm so and so and now I shall kill you and gain honor" plesantries. Basically all of SoA.

 

Jan Orrs, prosthetic hand no?

and the X-wing books were some of the most entertaining books I had ever read. The Wraiths were probably teh funniest group in SWU. When they were acting as pirates, and Wedge returns and asks a progress report, and they tell him:

Face/Ton (I forget who now)
"We hit a local commercial exchange, made off with some credit chips and notes, and straffed the harbour. Did some nice damage to some pretty boats."

Wedge:
"Let me get this straight, you robbed a bank?"

(F/T):
"You, it was fun too."

nothing captured my imagination and gave me a laugh as that scene right there.

 

Glaive's Padawan Zule had a cybernetic arm after Ventress cut hers off.

 

Wouldn't "Piggy" the Gamorrean, from Wraith Squadron, be considered someone with a prosthetic (attached artifical voice box, that is)?

 

Scabrous Pirates to you!

And I know Kell was involved in the Bank Robbing....

 

Rosh Penin in the lightside JA ending has a prosthetic hand.
