    Just been watching TPM, and I wondered what Jar Jar was talking about when he said he crashed the Bosses Heyblibber, did Boss Nass lend Jar Jar his vintage Bongo and he crashed it or something? Any ideas? Oh, and whats a gooberfish?

    Gooberfish- my guess is it's some kind of fish....

    Heyblibbers sounds like a gag voice changer.

    It was the Boss' royal conveyance. Jar-Jar crashed it into a bubble wall and flooded the Boss' chambers.

    That's when Boss Nass decided to banish Jar-Jar.

    Sort of, for a really short period of time.

    Yeah, true. When this event happened, Jar Jar hadn't been doing it for very long at all.

    There's actually some SW comics that deal with this.

    Gooberfish- my guess is it's some kind of fish....

    I also guess its got protruding teeth ;)

    But I gather in reality its GL's reference to Ron Howard's acting stint in the Andy Griffith Show and named after the guy called Goober (a cousin of Gomer Pyle - who was another character in the show). Goober was played by an actor who's names also happens to be George (Lindsey).

    You also got that "Opie" that tries to swallow the Bongo. Opie is reference to Ron Howard's character.

    Thanks Billy Dee Binks!
    I watched TPM with subtitles on last night, and when the Opee attacks Jar Jar says "Big Gooberfish, huge-o teeth!" I always thought he said "Huge Opee!"
    So anyway I guess that gooberfish is the Gungan word for any fish - the Opee being a big fish...
    Has anyone got a picture of the Bosses Heyblibber from that comic, I'd love to see what Jar Jar is talking about?

    I wonder if there is a Heyblibber in the background of the hidden city scenes.
