One-Time Star Wars Characters: Where Are They Now?

EPISODE XV: DROIDS

spacer.png

Droids are the universe's backbone, behind the love, menial labor, and fancy computerized stuff of the galaxy. These three droids have contributed much to the world of Star Wars, so you should be happy to know we'll be looking at none of them today. Instead, we have some much more interesting stories.

spacer.png

Bonk, the Gonk droid in the Jawa sandcrawler

Bonk had watched friends and acquaintances come into its life and disappear just as quickly for decades, and this gold and blue duo was no different. But luck changed when it overheard a choice encounter between its hooded masters and an unknown buyer. They were selling it—to an old, eccentric junk dealer living in Mos Espa. “HEY, GET TO WORK!” he said with a snarl. Bonk had finally found its forever home: powering an automated gambling machine for Watto.

E-3PO, the droid that yelled "E chu ta!" at C-3PO

E-3PO had worked as Cloud City’s resident spy droid for a while now, but his job was rather pointless now that the Empire controlled Bespin completely and everyone important had skipped town. So the Empire transferred him—he would now be undertaking recon efforts on the forest moon of Endor, where he could hopefully win the Ewoks’ trust in order to kill and eat them later. But this didn’t last long after the Rebels took Endor and captured E-3PO. Not knowing what to do with him, they painted the droid gold and rented him out as “C-3PO” to weddings and birthdays wanting to have a Rebel hero at their party. It is a lonely, lonely existence.

spacer.png

TC-14

The official narrative states that the Trade Federation moved TC-14 to their biggest, grandest battleship, which a nine-year old had destroyed during the Battle of Naboo. So she was dead—or was she? Her memory archives survived in the vacuum of space, floating around before they came to rest on the planet Corellia, where junkers used them to rebuild her. Free from the memory wipes that had once plagued her, she became a deadly bounty hunter and contract killer, which inspired a young protocol droid named 4-LOM to follow in her footsteps.

spacer.png

GA-97, the Resistance spy droid on Takodana

Having succeeded in helping the Resistance find BB-8, GA-97 had completely served its purpose. There was nothing left for it to do. To cope with its newfound uselessness, the droid now does pub crawls across the Outer Rim, drinking its days away with pints of motor oil.

spacer.png

ME-8D9, Maz's personal assistant

“Emmie” had lived in the Takodana castle for thousands of years, and felt a little lost when the First Order destroyed it. But she would live on. Climbing aboard a spaceship, she pursued a new life powering an intergalactic HoloNet café on Jedha, where lowlifes would come to develop crippling addictions to pornography and social media.

 

Tomorrow, expect a look at more machines, and the pilots who raced them.

EPISODE XVI: PODRACERS

databank_boontaeveclassicpodracerpilots_

Podracing: one of the galaxy's most famous, and dangerous, forms of entertainment. Underneath those pilot helmets are racers with their own tales and journeys. Anakin Skywalker and Ben Quadinaros may be the most iconic racers, but left behind in the dust are several other icons in need of attention. Now this is podracing!

sebulba_1f3fe180.jpeg?region=240,0,1376,

Sebulba

Sebulba continued podracing, eventually becoming Ben Quadrinaros’s sworn rival, which made for quite the entertaining rivalry to viewers. He eventually grew bored of podracing and moved onto battle racing, which managed to be even deadlier than podracing. Sadly, in 5 ABY, Sebulba’s stardom came to a halt as he would die in an abrupt, fiery battle racing crash, just another statistic in the ever dangerous galactic sport. Quadinaros was one of the few people who would attend his funeral, showing a sign of respect even after their heated rivalry.

GasganoHS-SWE.jpg

Gasgano

Due to finishing second place at Boonta Eve Classic, Gasgano harbored bitter jealousy towards the young Anakin Skywalker who managed to best him. The two never saw each other again after that day, but Gasgano would never live it down that he was defeated by a child, as his fellow podracers would constantly berate him over. Even his homeworld of Troiken laughed at him. With each passing year, Gasgano started to do progressively worse in races. He eventually saw this career wasn’t for him anymore and retired from podracing altogether, hanging up the helmet. He settled down on Batuu to be left alone, not having to worry about anymore stupid kids. One day, he purchased the droid GH-7 from a merchant, reactivating it and becoming Gasgano’s first friend in ages. Two former professionals who had their careers ripped away, united together. A heartwarming tale, truly.

EE_Endocott_Headshot.png

Ebe E. Endocott

If you thought Gasgano was angry, you should’ve seen Ebe E. Endocott. He should’ve felt grateful that he was lucky enough to finish, yet his loss sent him into an anger-fueled psychosis. Storming into the Jundland Wastes, he tried to take it out on a herd of wild eopies peacefully grazing. Instead, they charged him, and their pack leader Gilbert crushed his skull into the sand with a stomp of his hoof. 

Elan_mak.jpg

Elan Mak

Mak continued to podrace, but as time went on, his skills grew worse and worse, eventually only ever being able to finish last. He gave up on the podracing career and became an engineer and entrepreneur, opening up his own ship company known as Alset. They aren’t very good (and also don’t have radios for some reason), but his witty charm tricks people into thinking they are, and they fall for it every time. He now has a massive galactic social media presence, being praised by many just for existing on it, posting funny memes, or posting porn. Wild, huh?

Mars_guo.jpg

Mars Guo

Mars Guo’s devastating Boonta Eve crash crippled him from the waist down, ending his career forever. He was not discouraged, though, and pursued a successful career as a world-class ship designer. But one day, thugs broke into his studio, stole his designs and prototypes, and left a laser bolt in his brain. The next day, Elan Mak’s company Alset announced their new model of ship.

 

Tomorrow, we'll take a look at the political side of the galaxy, examining several forgotten senators and figureheads.

EPISODE XVII: POLITICIANS

spacer.png

"I love democracy," Chancellor Sheev Palpatine once said. We at One-Time love democracy and politicians so much, that we were so happy to learn that their trade embargo kept us from posting this episode way earlier than we should've. The Galactic Senate is a proud institution and always will be, so what have some of its more esoteric members been up to?

spacer.png

Aang

After a successful career as a politician, Aang mysteriously disappeared from the scene when the galaxy needed him most. It is said he went into a deep spiritual meditation, and never returned from it. It is rumored that he was reborn in another dimension as the protagonist of a Nickelodeon cartoon. Far out.

spacer.png

Grebleips

Grebleips’ distinguished Senate career abruptly ended after space journalists revealed a shocking affair between him and one of Naboo’s handmaidens. He then pursued a series of other galactic ventures under an assumed name, such as a film production company and an unsuccessful theme park franchise. But he was soon exposed, and exiled to the distant future in a galaxy far, far away. I heard they made a movie about it.

spacer.png

Baron Papanoida

As the Empire began to occupy his homeland of Pantora, Baron Papanoida found himself surrounded by eager yes-men, ready to follow his orders at a moment’s notice. Confused yet excited at this new development, the Baron turned the moon into a self-contained dictatorship, where he was free to rule how he pleased even if the Empire had a blaster barrel pointed at his head. He may have gone too far in a few places.

spacer.png

Riyo Chuchi

Following the end of the Clone Wars, Chuchi continued to represent Pantora in the Galactic Senate, but she wasn’t happy about it as she quickly saw how brutal the Empire became. She resigned, heading back to Pantora, but then fled from there too once Baron turned it into his own dictatorship. During her time in hiding, she found a new passion in music and began an underground career as a galactic pop singer. Once the Empire was gone, she took her music mainstream, cracking high numbers on the Galactic Billboard. She considered doing a collab with Sy Snootles at one point to help her career, but the plans fell through the cracks.

spacer.png

Nee Alavar

Senator Alavar’s fears were coming true: Chancellor Palpatine had become a tyrant, and the Republic had morphed into a fascist dictatorship. Armed with a blaster, she burst into the Emperor’s office to confront him herself. 

“Chancellor, your rule of terror is about to end.”

“...Who are you again?”

The Royal Guard detained her shortly afterward and threw her into the rancor pit, one of Palpatine’s favorite death chambers. Isn’t it funny when they squirm?

 

Tomorrow we take a dive into a politician's worst nightmare: crime. Stay tuned.

EPISODE XVIII: SCUM AND VILLAINY

918h+5KyCXL.jpg

The galaxy's criminal underworld contains many seedy, colorful and vile malefactors. You know the big players, such as big Jabba himself. But what happened to the smaller players, who were largely forgotten in the whispers throughout the underworld?

Tak_Solo.png

Tak

After escaping the spice mines of Kessel, Tak went right back to his con artist ways, trying to rob suckers. However, one of his previous victims from the Coruscant days recognized him and called the Imperials. They intervened and arrested Tak, throwing him into a prison. He was bummed at first, but eventually started to like the prison life more than the outside world. Unfortunately, one day, another one of his previous victims he ripped off wasn’t too happy to see him in prison. Tak was then promptly shanked to death on sight. Moral of this story: Come back to haunt you, your actions will. 

Yoxgit2.jpg

Yoxgit

Yoxgit only barely managed to jump off the exploding sail barge just in time, landing into the sand below. He was about to run free, eager to return to his illegal tibanna business. That was until a piece of barge debris struck him, sending him flying into the sarlacc pit. While being digested into the beast, he saw the legendary bounty hunter Boba Fett in there too, trying to fight his way out. Yoxgit tried to call for his aid, but Boba was a little preoccupied trying to save his own life first. More debris from the barge fell into the sarlacc, hitting Yoxgit and making him fall deeper into the sarlacc’s digestive system, never to be seen again. 

Hat_Lo_1.jpg

Hat Lo

Despite how much he claimed to be a big bad crime lord on par with the Hutts, in truth, Hat Lo was nothing more than a petty thug who had a decent amount of cash. At one point, his slave Ayy Vida managed to escape his clutches, making him become a laughing stock of the underworld. It was at this point Lo realized failed as a criminal, he had. He knew when to fold ‘em, deciding to retire from the thug life and open a hat store. They’re very nice hats. 

erPwYgf.jpg

Bala-Tik

Somehow, Han Solo had escaped the Guavian Death Gang once again. After informing the First Order of their whereabouts, Bala-Tik started to wonder if this was all worth it after realizing those rathtars ate his whole platoon. He deserted the gang and returned to his home planet of Dnaltocs, where he leads a simple life playing the pipes and selling traditional puddings made out of space-sheep organs. They taste better than they sound, we promise.

Labria.jpg

Kardue’sai’Malloc, aka Labria

Kardue continued to live on Tatooine in hiding under the alias of “Labria”, with nobody suspecting his criminal past or recognizing him. He had one of the highest bounties in galaxy history and was on almost every wanted list, so he did his hardest to keep a low profile, well, as low as you could on Tatooine. However, his past eventually caught up to him one day in 7 ABY, when a random Mos Eisley patron recognized him. After a report was filed, several New Republic officers arrived to apprehend him. Kardue made a run for it into the vast Tatooine deserts, never looking back. He braved through the harsh deserts for days without food or water, which was impressive. One night, he found a mysterious camping spot and needing to rest, decided to take it, not caring who it belonged to. The next morning, the New Republic agents found his body in the sand, dead via blaster, and the camp site was cleared out. Nobody knows who ultimately killed him, but there are theories, ranging from Tusken Raiders, a rogue bounty hunter (although the bounty was never claimed), or a rival criminal wanting to settle an old score. To this day, it remains a perplexing unsolved mystery.

 

Tomorrow, we'll look at the untold stories from one of the galaxy's most iconic locations: Mos Eisley Cantina.

EPISODE XIX: THE MOS EISLEY CANTINA

spacer.png

This cantina is a clean, bustling place, as you can see. But don't you know it used to be a wretched hive of scum and villainy? Many people once frequented this seedy place, but have since then parted ways. So what have they been up to?

spacer.png

The Bith Band

Figrin D'an and the Modal Nodes was their name, and success was their game. Well, not really. The little arm-slicing incident told them they were destined for greater venues than this disgusting, smelly cantina, and they set off into the desert the next day. Their tour didn’t last long, though—Sandtroopers mistook them for Rebel agents and slaughtered them in their sleep. Only one Bith, Figrin D’an himself, survived. He’s still in the industry, though—you can catch his production work on the new Unkinem album.

spacer.png

Momaw Nadon ("Hammerhead")

Momaw Nadon had been exiled—dealing with the Empire led to exile from his peaceful agrarian homeworld, leaving him trapped on this deserted rock. Seeing a man get dismembered by a giant blue glow stick reminded him of the hatred he felt. He went home and vowed to have revenge on the Empire, with the same kind of violence he’d seen that day. Thirty-four years later, he is now known as General Momaw Nadon, leading general of the Resistance.

spacer.png

Wuher

Wuher continued bartending for the cantina along with still harboring an extreme prejudice against droids. People also dug up his social media posts containing droidphobic insults, which caused people to threaten a Mos Eisley boycott if it he was not fired. The upper management eventually got tired of the numerous complaints and fired him. Wuher now lives alone, getting drunk and continuing to rant about his hatred of droids on social media.

spacer.png

Jerriko

Jerriko continued to be a regular of the cantina, offering his services for a good kill, and smoking his pipe nonstop which started to irritate the other customers after a while. Wuher kindly asked him to take it outside many times, but Jerriko always refused. Annoyed by constant complaints, the upper management had enough and banned him, much to Jerriko’s anger, but he eventually relented and took his services elsewhere. He hopped around various cantinas across the galaxy, and even saw Beedo sitting around at a few. One night he got a bit too drunk and wandered off into the streets at night. One thing lead to another, resulting in him joining a pirate crew. To this day, he cannot recall how these events unfolded, nor will any of his crewmates say.

spacer.png

Takeel and Zutton ("Snaggletooth")

Unlike most of the other cantina patrons that day, the Snaggletooths found dismemberment extremely funny, and felt inspired to create comedy out of it. The two became Tak n’ Zut, a mediocre comedy duo that tours across the Outer Rim. After criticizing Emperor Palpatine in one of their sets, the Empire poured millions of credits into finding and killing them with probe droids. They did not succeed, and they continue to travel the galaxyto this day.

Tomorrow we close our season with a very similar location, almost like it's from a movie that mirrors A New Hope's plot exactly.

EPISODE XX: TAKODANA CASTLE

gyXKSGl.png

We close out the season with another episode on a location from the sequels. Much like Mos Eisley, Takodana Castle was another home for many seedy figures and under Maz Kanata's ownership flourished as a popular haven for them. But you see, what really sets it apart from Mos Eisley is how it's a fancy, gigantic castle. They also had a pretty nice view of a lake instead of a boring desert, so that's cool too. Before the First Order blew it to smithereens, here's the tale of several figures that used to frequent there. They're not Disney princesses, but they're just as special, we think.

Hassk_Triplets.jpg

Hassk Triplets

With the First Order gone and the galaxy at peace again (for now), Varmik and his two brothers decided to go around the galaxy solving mysteries with their grand uncle. Hassk tales, woo oo!

D6sOF7C.jpg

Grummgar

Grummgar, great hunter and mercenary, spent his last hours with his girlfriend Bazine Netal, not knowing that they were not actually dating and that she was really just spying for the First Order. As the Takodana Castle crumbled around them, he gave her his most prized possession: his 242 hunting rifle, feeling she would put it to good use after his death. As rocky debris crushed and choked Grummgar, Bazine chucked the gun away and ran for her life. A true symbol of their love.

Sidon_Ithano_CT.png

Sidon Ithano

After the Battle of Exegol, Sidon continued his pirate life, but now wanting to be known as Captain Sidon Ithano, savvy? He embarked on many nautical space adventures with his pirate crew, and developed a rum addiction. This is the tale of Captain Sidon Ithano, a pirate so brave, on the galactic seas! Drink up me hearties, yo ho yo ho. 

Strono_Tuggs_VD.png

Cookie Tuggs (Strono Tuggs), Takodana Chef

After the Battle of Exegol, Tuggs decided his cooking career had a lot more potential beyond Takodana. He started his own reality show called Tuggs’ Kitchen, where teams of chefs compete for a job as head chef. The show became a success and Tuggs’ publicity skyrocketed. He even guest starred on Klaud and Chewie’s talk show, which ended up being their most viewed episode yet.

Pru_Sweevant_HS_TFUVD.png

Pru Sweevant

Pru Sweevant was a loyal man, and loyal to his captain he stayed. While the rest of his crew died during Takodana Castle’s destruction, he served as Captain Ithano’s devoted sidekick for many rum-swilling, swashbuckling years afterward. But after a while, the first mate learned he was only getting a five percent cut of the treasure. Now finding loyalty overrated, he committed mutiny and marooned his ex-captain on a desolate moon. Here begins the tale of Captain Pru Sweevant.

 

That's all for Season 2 folks, thanks for continuing to tune into our tales, we appreciate it. See you this fall for Season 3.

SEASON III

REVENGE OF THE ONE-TIMERS

War! The Star Wars franchise is crumbling under the overabundance of underdeveloped characters. There are one-timers on both sides. Memes are everywhere.

In a stunning move, the fiendish Disney CEO, Bob Iger, has announced a glut of new Star Wars series exclusive to Disney+, further ignoring the stories of these characters.

As brand new Star Wars media attempts to pretend these characters never existed in the first place, jjs and OWM lead a desperate mission to give these one-timers justice....

EPISODE XXI: LEGO CHARACTERS

spacer.png

We begin this season with something unorthodox: tales from the Lego universe. Scholars have debated if these characters are truly canon or worth including, but we are here to tell you their stories are as valid as everyone else’s.

9d17c706-3f6f-4dd5-8aca-0b372a35e779_1.3

Jedi Bob

Poor Bob was never quite the same after boarding that Republic gunship to Geonosis. The sight of his fallen comrades along with hordes of stinky dead Geonosians haunted him every waking moment, until he could no longer tolerate it. Turning in his lightsaber, Bob left the Jedi Order as the Clone Wars began to forge his own path in the galaxy. Hopping from universe to universe, he adopted countless different roles in countless different realities: a medieval knight, a scruffy pirate, an unspecified civilian driving a car. “Jedi” Bob was more than just that, of course. He had become an all-powerful entity, able to assume any role he pleased thanks to the powers of mysterious plastic blocks and a childish imagination. This, of course, made him the most powerful Jedi to ever exist.

maxresdefault.jpg

Oni Jass

Oni Jass was a man of mysterious origins. Few even knew of his existence to begin with, and those who did described him as only “the individual.” No one seemed to agree on what he did for a living. But we at OTSWC know perfectly who he was: he was a big game galaxy hunter. You could catch him on Dathomir slaughtering the mightiest rancor he could find, just so he could rest its plucked teeth atop his trophy case, or on Twon Ketee spearing rahtars for his dinner. It’s even been said that he had bested a Zillo Beast on Malastare in an epic eighty-day battle. But a trophy hunter’s life does not sustain itself for long. After meeting his husband Hugh, he realized this life wasn’t for him anymore. They live a quiet life together now on a peaceful, uncharted planet.

360.png

Growly

Growly had quite the tough time fitting in on Corellia, often being mocked for having three eyes. But there was hidden potential deep inside the misunderstood, young lad. Due to his third eye, he was naturally gifted with maneuvering in a ship, a talent he would show off in street races. One day, a mysterious blue man approached Growly. He noticed the stranger had blazing red eyes and wore a fancy white Imperial outfit, but wasn’t quite sure who he was. Growly feared for a moment he was in trouble with the Empire, but on the contrary. The man was impressed with his talents after an informant alerted him of Growly’s flying capabilities and made him an offer of a lifetime. The man offered him a role in a mysterious organization known as the Chiss Ascendancy. Growly was never seen on Corellia again after that offer.

maxresdefault.jpg

Kinn Zih

The people of Jakku always found Kinn to be an oddball on a planet filled with them. He had an extensive gun collection and many labeled him as a gun nut, but in truth, he was secretly an arms dealer. He made quite a living off of it, since Jakku didn’t have much else to offer. Some of his clients included: the Hutt Cartel, pirates, various other scum, and an infamous spice kingpin known as “The Danger”, who rose to prominence after Elan Sleazebaggano’s death. Kinn eventually amassed a fortune of credits and left Jakku, affording his own private home on the tropical planet of Sesid, living the good life.

da383y9-2fad640e-5a5d-442c-b86d-e420a284

Jay Jay, Jo Jo, and Jee Jee Binks

As Naboo’s first Senator, Jar Jar Binks met more Gungans than he could ever hope to comprehend. Staffers and well-wishers came pouring in to greet and thank him for his victory against the Trade Federation. But there was one alien he may have gotten a little too close with: Queen Julia of Bardotta. Yes, the Gungan statesman and the Bardottan royal defied physiology to create three little triplet freaks of nature. Their births led to “Jargate,” a political scandal sensationalized enough to strip their father of his position as Senator. While the triplets had otherwise normal childhoods on Naboo, they soon found their places in the world once they reached adulthood: 

Jay Jay relocated to her mother’s homeland of Bardotta, where, as the oldest, she soon inherited the title of Queen. You might think this would’ve brought Naboo and Bardotta closer together, but it just reminded everyone of those really awkward times. Expect the planet to overthrow her soon.

Jo Jo felt the need to support his father, who was now working as a disgraced street clown on the streets of Theed. Mooching off Jay Jay’s lucrative business, he was able to buy a cheap freighter in order to take the act to the next stage. Keep your eyes peeled for “Jo Jo’s Circus,” a travelling show touring the Mid Rim later this fall.

Jee Jee, who has somehow enabled the Binks family’s glorious return to public service, is now Supreme Glorious Minister of Naboo serving alongside Supreme Glorious Savior and Minister for the People Juan Juan Guaidó. Rumor has it that Jee Jee may be taking things over soon after a very convenient assassination.

We hope you did your summer re-watches, because we continue our tales tomorrow with some characters from one of Star Wars' many series.

EPISODE XXII: RESISTANCE (show)

qf2sCZu.png

Now we take a look at characters from Star Wars: Resistance, the Filoni family’s third child. This show and its cast may have been abruptly forgotten, but some of these characters still deserve to have their stories closed.

4pS48q8.jpg

Bibo

Bibo and its mother continued to drift through the vast seas of Castillion at peace. Bibo longed for the Colossus crew to return, missing them. One day, the crew did return, and got to reunite with Bibo for a sweet moment. As the years went by, Bibo got older and bigger, almost reaching the size of its mother. Several sightseers would see the majestic beast leap from the depths once in a while, becoming a legendary sight to hunt for. One of these sightseers happened to be a famous film director, and seeing the creature gave him inspiration for his next film called: “Finding Bibo.” 

5D93slt.png

Nena

Nena eventually regrouped back with the Colossus team by sheer luck, realizing the error of her ways and wanting to be a part of their fight against the First Order. Her and Neeku eventually got together romantically, blossoming a cute relationship. How sweet.

pXyxLAX.jpg

Hallion Nark

Kragan and his crew made Nark walk the plank for his failure, and sent him plunging into the seas of Castillion. He eventually washed up on an uncharted island, all alone. He turned a coconut into his best friend, calling it “Wilson.” It is said Nark is still stranded on that island to this very day, waiting for rescue. Please send help.

dZKDioR.png

Ax Tagrin

Following his botched bounty job at Varkana, the First Order fired him so Ax went back to the old grind of his normal bounty hunting jobs. He found that the bounty hunter life in the First Order era was not very rewarding or fun as it used to be, eventually spiraling into an alcoholic depression. One night he got so drunk that he damaged his liver, rendering him unable to do his job anymore. He is currently attending Alcoholics Anonymous meetings to cope. Perhaps someday his career will get a big revival...

LiCRPO8.jpg

Norath Kev

Kev continued to work for the Resistance, but began to annoy his team mates, becoming the butt of many jokes. They even made an inside joke about him being a terrorist However, he would prove his worth to the Resistance during the Battle of Exegol, when he single handedly was able to blow up a Star Destroyer above his home world of Duro. This heroic act made him remembered as a hero and his friends never mocked him again after seeing his skills.

Tomorrow we'll take a look at several infamous swashbuckling plunderers, mateys.

EPISODE XXIII: PIRATES

6b92ee3f7b6b6be953984d655515939b.jpg

Some people here on Earth believe a pirate’s life is for them. But they wouldn’t agree if they learned about the life of a space pirate. It’s a lot more gross, trust us.

Kuimi_Enissa_TROSVD.jpg

Kuimi Enissa

Kuimi was once a member of the Lumini pirates, a proud gang of pillagers, plunderers, riflers, and looters. But a First Order attack devastated the clan, and all were slain except her. This didn’t stop Kuimi, though—joining the Resistance, she travelled to Ajan Kloss to help them take down their mutual enemy once and for all. But afterward, the ex-pirate felt directionless. There was nothing left to “resist” anymore with the Resistance, and returning to a life of crime didn’t feel right. To cope with the utter uselessness of her character, Kuimi decided to blast off into the Outer Rim to make a name for herself, to find the Bacta Tank of Youth or the Dead Man’s Camtono or something. Where is she now? No one really seemed to care.

4666bec5e1fe001118098d434a722b02.png

Goru

Before the end of the Clone Wars, Goru had committed mutiny against Hondo yet again, coming to realize he was a weak leader. He took a handful of crew members with him to start his own pirate gang, but Hondo laughed and predicted they’d come crawling back in a week. Some time later when the Empire took over, Hondo’s group fell apart, much to Goru’s delight. He saw this as the perfect chance to become the dominant pirate crew in the new era, wanting to stick it to the new Empire. Unfortunately, his crew barely lasted long before it was quickly wiped out by the Empire, all dying in a fiery death. RIP.

Parsel-Revival.png

Parsel

Parsel had gone the whole nine yards with Goru, spending his last days aboard a jolly Weequay sloop before its brutal incineration by an Executor-class Star Destroyer. But before his demise, he had done the deed that all pirates dream to do: bury his own treasure, deep within the dusty deserts of his home planet of Sriluur. It remained hidden for many years afterward, as people spun tales and fables of Parsel’s treasure while also having no clue where to look. After many years, a humble worker dug it up while running a mining operation on the planet for businessman Zeff Lezos. But Lezos would never see that money—the mysterious digger took their cache of money and drugs and vanished into the dunes, never to be seen again.

Quiggold_CT_Cropped.png 

Quiggold

Quiggold, as he would say, was only “along for the ride.” He’d spent his early life as a junkie, addicted to death sticks on his home planet of Gabdor. This habit had nearly killed him before he was saved by Captain Sidon Ithano, to whom he now owed a life debt. Since then he had been the captain’s loyal first mate, serving with honor until that fateful day at Takodana Castle. He never saw Ithano again, who had abandoned him with a new first mate, Pru Sweevant (who would soon abandon him in turn). Feeling betrayed, Quiggold formed his own band of miscreants and travelled the galaxy in search of vengeance. It took many years, but soon, Sweevant and Quiggold reunited. But after so many years, Quiggold had forgotten why he was even mad in the first place. And so, claiming opposite sides of one ship, the Quiggold-Sweevant Gang set sail as one.

Gang_na_Felucii.jpg

Gwarm

Due to the collapse of the Ohnaka Gang, Gwarm also ended up forming his own pirate crew to survive the Empire. Unlike Goru though, his crew was actually smart and plundered a prosperous life. Gwarm’s pirate gang are also the ones who shanghaied former Mos Eisley regular Jerriko into their service, managing to convince him while he was drunk. They all got a laugh out of never telling him how he truly ended up in their crew. Gwarm proved himself a remarkable captain, as the gang survived into the New Republic era. They even formed quite a fierce but respectable rivalry with Sidon Ithano’s crew, getting into quite a few ship battles.

Tomorrow we’ll explore the lives of a class of one-timers with the Disney spirit. Interpret that how you will.

Episode XXIV: Merchants

FcaFYqz.jpg

No, we’re not covering Star Tours characters or anything like that. We’re covering some of the galaxy’s greatest hustlers, and where their business may or may not have taken them.

Dok-Ondar

On his homeworld of Ithor, Dok-Ondar made his living selling galactic knick-knacks and other nifty treasures that came his way. It was his true passion, but the poor sales he was getting in return just weren’t cutting it. If his shop was to survive, he needed a change of business model. Taking a ship to Tatooine, the Ithorian trader sought out the old masters.

“HEY, YOU! COME ON DOWN TO WATTO’S WARES!”

Dok-Ondar realized his true place: selling cheap consumer goods for galactic tourists. Relocating to Batuu, he found his niche selling plastic lightsabers and mouse-branded memorabilia.

Droogan

Droogan continued his sleazy business into the rise of the Empire, trying to con as many people as possible out of their credits. Unfortunately, his hot streak would come to an end when he tried to scam a high ranking Imperial, which did not go over well. He was promptly thrown into prison. Some time later, he came face to face with the man who inspired him to be a con artist: Tak. Tak had conned Droogan out of a serious fortune several years prior, which made him realize he needed to become a conman himself to survive in this cruel galaxy. He wasn’t even sure if Tak recognized him, but he didn’t care, as his chance for revenge was finally here. He promptly shanked Tak to death on sight, and had his prison sentence extended for life. It is said he still pulls cons on many prisoners to this day, and they know better to not mess with him less they end up like Tak.

Gragra

Gragra was known as one of the most overly protective merchants in the galaxy. One foolish Gungan had tried to steal a gorg from her stand, but she caught him like a hawk, always watching. Many thieves had tried to swindle her out of her goods, but nobody was ever successful at stealing from Gragra in galactic history. Gragra eventually passed away of old age in 11 ABY, but not before passing her merchant defense secrets onto her daughter, Gragra Jr., who was honored to carry on the legacy. Much like her mother before her, Junior never let anyone steal from the stand.

tI4CSK5.jpg

Jira

Jira sadly never saw Anakin Skywalker again after he left Tatooine. She sensed there was something special about that kind boy in her time knowing him, and she sure ended up being right in ways she didn’t anticipate. She would never get to see this though, as Jira eventually passed away of old age in 23 BBY. The citizens of Tatooine were struck by this loss. They loved her fruits given how scarce it was on the barren planet. Unlike Gragra, she had never found a successor for her business. Several imitators tried to replicate the success of her fruits, but nobody could truly replace old lady Jira. Later in galactic history, an apple brand known as “Granny Jira”, was named after her, showing her influence would live on.

6xhmkQi.png

Derla Pidys

Derla Pidys had a good gig as Canto Bight’s resident liquor saleswoman. She’d spend her days vending alcohol to some of the worst addicts the galaxy had to offer, and promptly watch the casino’s many machines empty her patrons’ pockets. Soon they would be back, and the cycle would repeat itself. It was a lucrative way to live, but not one built to last, as she would soon discover. One day, after what seemed like another shift, a diminutive man greeted her outside the neon glowing building that both of them had spent so much time inside. His name was Dobbu Scay, once one of her most frequent customers, and now Canto Bight’s mayor. He was here to shut this casino down piece by piece, starting with her. As officials led her away, Mayor Scay continued his plans to clear this city up.

Business as usual, as you see. Tomorrow we'll be taking a look at more of the galaxy's most feared hunters.

EPISODE XXV: REVENGE OF THE BOUNTY HUNTERS

BountyHunters-TCW.jpg

There are too many bounty hunters in this world. We didn’t understand just how many people had bounties on their heads until we started this. But they are characters too, and with characters, there are stories.

databank_c21highsinger_01_169_82dccb3b.j

C-21 Highsinger

C-21 Highsinger snagged the occasional bounty throughout the Empire’s rise and fall, but he was essentially the bargain bin pick compared to the big guys like Fett and Bane. Clients didn’t seem to want to hire someone who could only communicate in ones and zeroes. Frustrated at his lack of opportunities, Highsinger decided to broaden his line of expertise along with fellow bounty hunter Robo-Dengar. For a sizable fee, the duo would take care of any job you wanted—they were robotic jacks-of-all-trades. They had hoped they’d get to do lots of killing, but they only managed to find work painting hangars and fixing people’s HoloNet connections. How boring.

42e84b98765b0db0e34d1aab52a690d1.jpg

Amanaman

After Jabba’s empire collapsed, Amanaman managed to hightail it off of Tatooine, never looking back. Amanaman continued taking jobs into the New Republic era and slowly made a bigger name for himself. One day during a job, he came across the abandoned, regenerated Baby Bossk, all alone...what a tragedy. He decided to take the baby in and nurse the fallen bounty hunter back to health. Amanaman: father by day, and hunter by night. He has his work cut out for him now, to say the least. Although he bears some similarities to the creature, please do not mistake him for the giant yellow bird from Sesame Street, which does not exist in Star Wars.

25c1e48dba3ab9d8f4fef518da9dfc9f8e7fab19

Fong Do

One night, Fong got drunk with his fellow bounty buddies in level 1313 of the Coruscant Underworld. He heard a rumor passed around about a Sith Lord at the Outlander Club. Half of them thought it was a bad joke, while others thought there was truth to it, and were scared to find out. Fong Do told them he’d investigate this for himself, to which his buddies cheered him on. He sobered up and went out to the Outlander Club to investigate the claims. He was never seen again by anyone else afterwards. His mysterious fate has been the subject of many myths and legends among other bounty hunters, but most can agree someone, or something, killed him...perhaps there will be more to this story later in the season (cough).

c7bb4a97091a778e1f5fa274e0d40238.jpg

Djas Puhr

Djas Puhr had seen it all. He’d watched Han Solo shoot Greedo, clear the bounty on his head, and beat the most powerful Hutt on Tatooine within the span of just a few years. So why wasn’t he just as famous? As the bounty hunter took a long walk to try and ponder this, as the scalding Tatooine suns shone, he felt his thoughts grow hotter and hotter until he could no longer think, and he dropped to the ground dead. Puhr somehow never considered the poor logistics of having a shiny, black head while living on a desert planet.

chata-hyoki_ff706fba.jpeg?region=65,0,12

robonino-main-image_fbfc6c31.jpeg?region

Chata Hyoki & Robonino

Following the knuckleheads’ arrest, Hyoki and Robonino plotted their grand escape from prison, Alcatraz style. The two thought their plan was pure genius and that it had no chance of failure. They tried to gather several other inmates for their plan, but they laughed it off, saying it will never work. However, much to their surprise, and by sheer luck, their plan did work. It was a plan so stupid nobody saw it coming. The two escaped and ran for the hills, never looking back. It’s rumored from here they contacted an identity eraser who relocated them and the two have been off the grid ever since. The duo are now idolized by their former inmates who laughed at them, with many attempting to remake their escape attempt to no avail.

A terrible, terrible profession to pick up these days, as you can see. At least they aren't as evil as some of the guys we'll learn about tomorrow.

EPISODE XXVI: REVENGE OF THE EMPIRE & FIRST ORDER

maxresdefault.jpg

Your favorite tyrannical empires have even more stories to share. With so many soldiers, it was a given they'd have several individuals whose stories fall into obscurity. Let's see if joining either group was a good choice for them.

aPcJhbm.png

Bazine Netal

After leaving her lover Grummgar to die in the rubble of Takodana Castle (although she didn’t really care about him), Bazine ran for the winds like a ninja. The First Order met up with her, who paid handsomely for her tip, then they parted ways. However, the First Order stated if they’d ever need her services again, she’d know. She continued doing normal mercenary work in the meantime, one job including going on a wild chase for the Millennium Falcon. When the First Order firmly took over, they hired Bazine again to spy on Resistance sympathizers, which she played her part to perfection. After the Battle of Exegol, she found herself low on work, and eventually realized perhaps it’s time to leave this life of constant backstabbing behind her. It’s said she also became good friends with Long Snoot, both sharing their espionage secrets over drinks.

ujIL5Fo.png

R2-Q5

R2-Q5 was no ordinary droid. His day job on the Death Star II was to maintain and monitor the station when needed, and make sure the whole thing didn’t explode. But he also held a smaller yet equally important role that few knew about: he was the Emperor’s personal flash drive. Yes, the Emperor himself kept a personal archive of media collected from all across the galaxy. This secret media, however, consisted entirely of “entertainment” holotapes by Mermeia and other actresses in her industry. Sheev could count on R2-Q5 to visit his throne room and drop off the goods, and R2-Q5 desperately hoped for a memory wipe in order to forget the absolute horrors that had graced his data banks. By the time the Death Star II exploded, R2-Q5 felt a sense of relief. He would be destroyed, yes, but so would Palpatine, never to return. Right?

KDcuibU.png

Mandetat

Mandetat wasn’t the fighting type, really. Sure, he was chief engineer for Starkiller Base, a massive space station that just destroyed an entire planet and killed billions, but death kinda grossed him out, you know? Out of sight, out of mind. While fleeing the very icky grossness of Starkiller Base crumbling in half, a technological glitch forced his escape pod to crash-land on the wartorn moon of Endor. Mandetat’s soft-bodied, university-educated self couldn’t handle these forested wastelands well, especially not with all these dead teddy bears and leftover traps lying around. It wasn’t long before his clumsy footwork set off an old tripwire, crushing his skull between two logs.

1q7SU2S.jpg

Barrow Oicunn

Once a Republic officer, Barrow Oicunn had worked his way up to commanding a Star Destroyer in the Empire’s service, where he spent his days killing hundreds of Rebel scum. He’d gotten this far through a grand power sometimes even stronger than the Force itself: sucking up. Getting personally congratulated by Emperor Palpatine himself seemed to be enough to motivate him to submit to any and every order that came his way. When the Empire fell, Oicunn left to escape on his personal starfighter, when he received a mysterious transmission commanding him to fly into the nearest star immediately. Not wanting to disappoint the remnants of Imperial authority, the Admiral complied, incinerating himself. It turns out the message actually came from the Rebels themselves. They seemed to have had him figured out completely.

mIRalg4.png

Chiraneau

As the Battle of Endor reached its conclusion, Chiraneau realized the Empire was losing (how they were losing to teddy bears was beyond him). Suddenly, the Executor began to collide into the Death Star II, which at this point made Chiraneau realize he needed to get the hell out of there. He was barely able to reach an escape pod during the chaos and got out by the skin of his teeth, watching the ensuing implosion behind him, all of his comrades dead. Chiraneau sobbed, vowing he’d get revenge on the Rebel terrorists. His escape pod then crashed onto Kef Bir, the Ocean Moon of Endor nearby. He looked at the large ocean before him, angry he had to be stuck here since he hated water. The debris of the Death Star II then began to crash down, as Chiraneau ran for cover. He ended up slipping on the wet ground, tripping over the escape pod and falling into the ocean, where he drowned since he couldn’t swim. Perhaps he would’ve been better off dying in a fiery explosion instead.

Tomorrow we'll take a look at several furry characters.

EPISODE XXVII: EWOKS

databank_ewok_01_169_747db03a.jpeg?regio

The Ewoks: one of the galaxy’s most beloved species, known for their plucky demeanor and countless merchandising tie-ins. Be sure to cuddle your favorite Ewok plushie when reading this—you’re about to hear an adorable tale of war, revolution, genocide, and mass slaughter.

EzwzAFOWEAMgJai.jpg:small

Kneesaa

After the Battle of Endor, Kneesaa became the new chief of Bright Tree Village, taking over from her father Chief Chirpa. This newfound power let her gain supreme authority over her fellow Ewoks. Modernization efforts from the New Republic helped her transform the whole moon into a high-tech Draconian police state, watching the Ewoks at every turn and incinerating them into fine dust if they ever stepped out of line. Literally 1984.

logray-main-image_05b9e023.jpeg?region=0

Logray

Logray became the leader of the Yub Nub Resistance, a volunteer guerrilla army designed to fight against Chief Kneesaa’s tyranny. The two sides fought a horribly bloody war with sticks, rocks, and blasters until almost no one on either side remained. No one else in the galaxy really cared, though. It was kind of cute seeing those little guys fighting, to be honest.

chief-chirpa_1176b0ea.jpeg?region=0,67,8

Chirpa

Chirpa trusted his daughter completely. After all, he’d been teaching her how to rule the right way for her whole life. What could she possibly mess up? He simply ignored news about vast suffering and unrest in his homeland as he soaked in some sun on a distant beach planet, working on the perfect golf swing.

teebo_48370833.jpeg?region=0,480,1560,87

Teebo

Teebo had no time for any of this. If he was going to die, it wouldn’t be in this war. So the proud Ewok left his post as Kneesaa’s trusted shaman and fled into safety and obscurity, taking a few hundred refugees with him. For many years, knowledge of their whereabouts never surfaced until a New Republic investigation revealed they had survived—they had started a remote commune on Kashyyyk and lived in peace and quiet ever since. Somehow, the Wookiees couldn’t tell the difference.

250px-Pommet.png

Pommet Warrick

Wicket, as one of the few survivors of the Great Ewok Civil War, raised his son in a much quieter Endor, which was now absolutely swamped in dead teddy bear corpses now. Despite this, Pommet lived a happy childhood, and felt inspired to do some fighting of his own after hearing about the heroes in the Resistance. And so the cycle of violence continued.

Tomorrow we’ll be exploring a furry, forest-dwelling species who lived in tribal societies in the trees.

...Wait, are we just covering Ewoks again? Stay tuned.

EPISODE XXVIII: WOOKIEES

How-Long-Do-The-Wookiees-Live-In-Star-Wa

Wookiees are a misunderstood folk. Sure, there are extensive accounts of them killing and mutilating many of the galaxy’s smaller, weaker species for no apparent reason, but aren’t they just big and lovable gentle giants? Kind of.

LJmIfvF.png

Tarfful

After the Clone Wars ended, Tarfful was among the first to realize what Kashyyyk had become. It was a mere colony now, left at the mercy of Trandoshan aggressors and Imperial oppressors. Tarfful took the fight to these two groups underground, where he founded the Wookiee Liberation Front, or as they say in their language, “Gruurguuruaaaaaaaaaagh Murrrrraagahh Grrrrmmmmhhh.” They fought long and hard, but the New Republic helped deal the final blow. They, of course, took all the credit, which left the aged Wookiee warrior rather disappointed.

Cbu2J6K.jpg

Salporin

Trandoshan slavers, backed by the Empire, shipped this brave Wookiee warrior to a forced labor camp on their home planet, where the many years of back-breaking work almost killed him. But Salporin’s noble spirit would not fail him, because he refused to submit. One day, the slavers who had spent the fruits of Wookiee labor on space caviar and death-sticks awoke to the sounds of paws pounding on their doors. Knowing exactly what this meant, they sent their best guards outside to stomp these walking carpets into submission. Kashyyyk legend states that Salporin crushed thirty-seven Trandoshans under his foot, including his owners, before he fell.

UECoEpw.png

Merumeru

Merumeru had fought bravely alongside his comrades during the Battle of Kashyyyk, but alas, it was all for naught. Merumeru watched as Kashyyyk fell into the Empire’s hands and his friends enslaved. Merumeru saw several Wookiees get captured by Trandoshan slavers, who were forcing them away to a slave camp. Merumeru decided to make a difference, jumped into action and fighting back against the Trandoshans. He fought them long enough for his friends to escape and get out of there. He was then fatally stabbed by one of them, meeting his noble end. The Wookiees would never forget Merumeru and his brave sacrifice so they could live to fight another day.

gmcthO3.png

Wullfwarro

Wullfwarro never forgot about the Ghost crew who had rescued him and his son Kitwarr from captivity. The two went into hiding from the Empire, while Wullfwarro secretly aided the Rebellion and provided them with information about other Wookiees in captivity. He never did meet with the Ghost crew again, but heard about some of their adventures in passing and was honored to know them. After Kashyyyk was liberated from the Empire, Wullfwarro and his son finally returned back home where Wulffwarro fulfilled his lifelong dream of opening his own restaurant which became a popular Wookiee dining area.

Z1IVnIh.jpg

Eugroothwa

Eugroothwa watched as his home had been taken over by the Empire and his brothers enslaved. Eugroothwa executed an unorthodox plan by hiding in the shadows, pretending to be a creature known as the “Bigfoot of Kashyyyk”. He would wander around the woods disguised, and resort to playing numerous mind games that would scare off Imperials, Trandoshans and anyone else who threatened his home. Sometimes when his fellow brothers were being hunted, he’d swoop in from the jungles and kill any predators threatening them. The Wookiees would always wonder who had saved them. He became known as a local legend and superhero by fellow Wookiees and thrill seekers across the galaxy. Several ecstatic hunters would try to catch this legendary beast, but Eugroothwa would play games on them too. It’s rumored he still lives on Kashyyyk to this day, watching out for his fellow Wookiees from beyond. He’ll always be with them.

Tomorrow we'll shed light on the fate of a certain sleazy club.

EPISODE XXIX: THE OUTLANDER CLUB

U67s6zx.png

Our sources for this episode came from one Tera Sinube, who is completely delirious and lives under the impression that the Great Jedi Purge is still happening. But at least his knowledge of Coruscant's seedy underbelly is still sharp.

personnage-kalyn-farnmir-11661.jpg

Kalyn Farnmir

Kalyn’s day took a turn for the interesting after seeing someone get their arm chopped off with a glowstick by a guy in pajamas. I mean, weird stuff happened around here, but nothing like that. She was only spending her downtime from her job as a bounty hunter, searching for those wishing to hide where they thought no one could look. But she'd definitely know if this next target was a changeling. I guess I'll have to keep looking, she thought, as she kept searching for her target, Elan Sleazebaggano.

40f99f2d9416f9ed52f7b7da237bf55d.jpg

Ayy Vida

After escaping the captivity of her former owner Hat Lo, Ayy Vida championed for sex worker rights across the galaxy, at one point staging a protest against the Empire’s treatment of her Twilek sisters. Many years later, during the New Republic when it looked like there was room for her to make a difference, she lobbied for them to crack down on trafficking. She also helped create the “content sharing” website known as OnlyTwileks, a safe haven for sex workers. It soon became one of the galaxy’s most famous websites, but also strife with controversy and at one point several investors threatened to pull their funding from it. This news caught the eye of young entrepeneur Zeff Lezos around 10 ABY. He offered Vida he’d invest in her website to help keep it afloat, and not having another choice, she accepted. OnlyTwileks started to lose its base after several controversial policy changes thanks to Zeff, twisting the site’s purpose. Vida was ashamed of herself for selling out the people she fought so hard for. Failed, she had, and went into exile. However, she still had the support of her Twilek sisters and other content creators, which warmed her heart. 

Eo-Qm3vXYAAfB_I.jpg:medium

Achk Med-Beq

Several rumors spread around the Outlander Club that Achk was secretly a Sith Lord or some other dark side user. How these rumors started, nobody knows for sure, but some suspect it was a joke that spiraled a tad out of control. Achk himself wasn’t aware of these rumors until his associate Faytonni informed him and was worried someone would take it seriously, but Achk paid them no mind and continued minding his own business at the club. That was until one eerie night, Achk went outside the club for a bit when he was jumped by an assassin: Fong Do, who believed the rumors. Achk tried to insist the rumors were simply an inside joke, but Do genuinely thought they were about to kill a Sith Lord. While nobody else was looking, Achk decided now was time to strike: he force choked the life out of Fong Do, and tossed their body into a dumpster. Achk smiled to himself, showing his yellow eyes in the darkness. Following that night, Achk stopped frequenting the Outlander Club, not wanting to risk getting caught, and nobody really knows where he is now, not even Faytonni. But little did they know, Achk went into the shadows deep in the Unknown Regions, biding his time to reveal himself to the galaxy…

perso_faytonni_dannl.jpg

Dannl Faytonni

Dannl, as one half of a con artist operation, was greatly disturbed to hear the news of his partner Achk’s disappearance. Could the power of the dark side have been the secret of their success? He was never quite sure until a fateful trip to Coruscant’s Galaxies Opera House, disguised as a high-ranking Republic bureaucrat he’d kidnapped and neutralized. Chancellor Palpatine’s mutterings about all-powerful Sith Lords and eternal life distracted him from the sea monkey ballet being performed before him, and more onto the sinister nature of the galaxy’s most powerful man. Could there really be latent dark side influence in the Republic too? But just as quickly as he noticed, the Chancellor had struck. Coruscant, along with thousands of other planets with the system, fell to tyranny. While Faytonni never regained his partnership or his past life as a con artist, he did start a new job as an Imperial assembly worker, putting together crappy little protocol droids that he hoped would ruin parties or burst into flames or make lives worse for the new guys in charge. Fight the power!

Bufon_Taire.jpg.a4161f351e9691b31aba419b282fa0a6.jpg

Bufon Taire

As the club’s chief bartender, Bufon had heard a long list of crazy stories and customers from his time serving, ranging from: divorces, heist plans, criminal underworld chatter, deeply dark drunken confessions, and rumors about a Sith Lord at the club. He respected the patrons’ privacy and never told what he overheard to anyone else. When Republic and later Imperial agents would approach him for intel on criminals, Bufon would never budge. He was a true friend ‘til the end. One day, the owners of the Outlander Club angered the Imperials because they were not playing their propaganda, a requirement for all establishments. The owners had a “civil discourse” with them, which resulted in management changes and a tightened Imperial presence. One of these changes resulted in Bufon being laid off, much to the dismay of many customers. Bufon told them to not shed any tears, as he packed his things and headed off into the Coruscant sunset, never to be seen again. Due to his firing and increased Imperial presence at the club, the customers eventually stopped coming and the club closed. Some still hold out hope Bufon is out there somewhere, and when he returns, the Outlander Club will be reborn.

Our finale will delve into the stories of those who never had the chance to share one in the first place.

EPISODE XXX: THE DEAD SPEAK!

Star-Wars-Force-Ghosts-featured-800x445.

But what of those dead one-timers that were taken from us too soon and never got to tell their complete stories? Just in time for Halloween, let’s find out what their spirits have been up to in the afterlife.

Z3qHcW8.png

Boolio

Boolio’s gruesome decapitation at the hands of Kylo Ren was not the way he wanted to go out. All he wanted to do was aid the Resistance in winning the war as he wanted to see a better galaxy for everyone. When he ascended to the Netherworld of the Force, his head and body were not intact, which led him to mockery by the other spirits. Several other past characters who had been decapitated such as Jango Fett and Count Dooku sympathized with his struggle, inviting Boolio to the club. Boolio would still chant “Win the war” even as a spirit despite nobody knowing what he was referring to, but they drank to that.

Wyu0OqU.png

Holdo

Holdo had performed a noble sacrifice so the Resistance could survive, although in hindsight she admits she could have done a better job with forming a plan that wouldn’t end with them losing a lot of soldiers, herself included. That said, she had hoped her unorthodox plan would’ve made Poe a better soldier, as she knew he had what it takes to be a leader deep down. Unfortunately, her hopes were dashed to see him lightspeed skipping around like a spice addicted lunatic at the start of Rise of Skywalker, shaking her head from beyond. Then she heard Poe say “Somehow...Palpatine returned” with a straight face, empathizing with his disbelief, seriously, what the hell? Holdo just kind of watched as Rise of Skywalker’s events unfolded in bewilderment, riffing them to pass the time in the void. She wishes she had lived now because the Resistance sure could’ve used her expertise. 

iM0c5im.png

Coleman Trebor

Coleman Trebor was disappointed. Losing to a guy who was about to be beheaded in about ten minutes isn’t a good look for any seasoned Jedi Master. But alas, he had passed on into another way of existence, and could now advise his fellow living Jedi with his ghostly ghost omnipotence.  Despite his best efforts, none of the big guys wanted to listen to his insistence that Chancellor Palpatine was actually a Sith Lord planning to crush the Republic from the inside. I mean, c’mon, would you want to listen to a guy who died so embarrassingly? Legend says his spirit still lingered in the physical plane at the time of the New Republic, trying and failing to warn Luke Skywalker about how dangerous that Ben Solo kid was going to be.

RMwURzD.png

Cin Drallig

Drallig, the best swordsman (saberman?) in the Jedi Order, spent little time studying the Force’s spiritual aspects, and thus could never linger in the physical world as a ghost. But he was able to pass on his life’s work in a secret holocron hidden in Coruscant’s seedy underbelly, a move that helped it survive the era of the Empire. The relic found its way to a skeevy trader on Cantonica, who kept it until its theft by one Temiri Blagg. With a broom in his hand and the Force at his disposal, young Temiri was set to become the best Jedi duelist in the galaxy.

cPZ6Qg5.jpg

Wooof

Wooof held a deep grudge against Luke Skywalker for his untimely death. He was just about to get a promotion in the Hutt Cartel ranks, when that stupid kid ruined everything. It became common to call him simply “oof” in the Netherworld of the Force for the laughable way he got jobbed. Why, Wooof became known by that nickname so much it drove him mad, to the point where he may have forgotten his own name. He redirected all that anger towards Luke Skywalker, wanting to destroy him in the afterlife for the ultimate revenge scheme greater than any other villain in the galaxy’s history. He planned this revenge scheme for a total of 30 years, waiting for the day Luke would croak. That day would finally occur in 34 ABY when Luke died in peace, ascending to the great beyond. Wooof hunted through the Netherworld for a while when he heard that Luke was finally dead, and eventually came face to face with the legendary Jedi, his spirit peacefully meditating. Wooof announced that today was finally his day of reckoning, to which Luke replied, “I don’t even know who you are.” This infuriated Wooof more than ever before, who struck out at Luke in anger. Luke then struck Wooof down with his lightsaber like it was nothing, destroying his spirit. After that, Luke still can’t even remember who he was, shrugs, and goes back to meditating. Oof.

 

That's a wrap on another season. Thank you for continuing to hear our ramblings. We've got even more stories to come, see you in due time for Season 4!

SEASON IV: A NEW... ONE TIMERS? STAR ONE-TIMERS? ONE-TIMER WARS? THE FOURTH SEASON

War is upon us. The galaxy is collapsing. Disney is something something. Something something dark side. And the one-timers are back.

EPISODE XXXI: TUSKEN RAIDERS

We begin our fourth season with the stories of the Sand People. The galaxy sees them as nothing but mindless brutes, but maybe they’re just misunderstood? These stories suggest something different.

Spoiler

image_04fa574f.jpeg?height=354&region=0,

A’Koba, brave Tusken hunter who beat Luke up

A’Koba’s hatred for humans ran deep. A human had slaughtered his old tribe twenty years ago—not just the men, but the women and the children too. Out of rage, A’Koba brandished his gaffi stick and beat the living shit out of the boy he saw on that fateful day, as well as doing a number on his fancy droid too. But before he and his pack could go for the kill, a human shaman arrived, yelling a terrifying call that could only have come from the hell of a sound effects studio, or maybe a krayt dragon. Traumatized by this experience, A’Koba decided to stick to bantha feeding afterward.

e612979fe722e870ef1ba9e7f2a68afa68fec7d1

A’Yark, chief of A'Koba's tribe

A’Yark had it tough, even for a Tusken. He only had one eye and this made life difficult to say the least. This led to him being a bit of a punching bag from his fellow Tuskens. He eventually left the tribe and after a falling out with a friend, set his sights on trying to steal his restaurant’s secret formula. However, he keeps continuously failing over and over, being stuck in this cycle forever. It got so sad he even made a droid wife for himself. 

EgF5EcWXsAAXznp.jpg

Orr'UrRuuR'R, legendary Tusken sharpshooter

Orr'UrRuuR'R, a hunter for the GRRuRR’R’R tribe, lived on the lands where the Boonta Eve podrace was held every year, an event that infuriated him and his fellow Tuskens. Having had enough one day, he and a pack of friends decided to take matters into their own hands. As the racers zipped by, they mercilessly rained blaster bolts down onto them, enough to crash racer Mars Guo and paralyze him. Orr'UrRuuR'R laughed then, but it would not be enough to deter any humans. Ten years later, a hormonal teenage boy came to their village and beheaded him in his sleep with a blue glow stick. Devastated at his tribe’s massacre, his young son URoRRuR'R'R set off into the Jundland Wastes, looking for a new future.

A’Vor, A'Koba's adoptive blood brother

A’Vor met his blood brother after the slaughter of the GRRuRR’R’R tribe forced A'Koba to find a new one, and they’d been inseparable ever since. But A’Koba's spirits had dampened after the last hunt they did, with the human boy, and he resigned himself to mere bantha feeding. Either way, A’Vor decided a little practice was all his friend needed, and took him out to the Jundland Wastes to search for a noble creature. What they found was a solitary eopie named Gilbert. With encouragement, A’Koba brandished his rifle and shot the beast in the leg, wounding it. The two Tuskens wailed in triumph in their weird donkey voices, their confidence restored.

RR'uruurrr, Orr'UrRuuR'R's other adoptive blood brother

RR’uruuurr was a Tusken hunter and bantha keeper extraordinaire. His friends A'Koba and A'Vor had brought back Gilbert, a lone eopie they had shot and brought back for the tribe to kill and eat. But before anyone knew it, Gilbert, the menace he was, soon escaped. Soon, dozens of banthas lay dead, Tusken children were snatched from their homes, and the tribe’s food supply ran dry. Needing to protect his tribe, the determined bantha keeper grabbed his gaffi stick and confronted the bloodthirsty eopie himself. The two charged at each other and collided in a terrible explosion, both falling to the ground. As both lay dead, it was unsure who had really won.

 

OK, maybe they don't suggest anything new. But you should still watch out for them. Next episode coming tomorrow.

EPISODE XXXII: JAWAS

Today we'll be covering a different group of sand people. Jawas are seen as greedy scavengers and conniving thieves, though offering a good deal once in a while. Like the Tuskens, is there another side to them? Let's see if today fares any better.

Spoiler

Het-nkik.png

Het Nkik

Het Nkik was different from the rest. He wasn’t much of a scavenger and felt more comfortable among other species rather than his own kind. His fellow Jawas thought it was because he was weak and cowardly, but he was actually just an alcoholic. What use was there scratching in the sand looking for heaps of metal when you could just head out to Mos Eisley for a few shots? While out drinking one night with his drinking buddy Momaw Nadon, he witnessed a brutal encounter: a man’s arm being sliced off after another barfight. The two left quickly in shock, only for Momaw to flee back home, mumbling something about the Empire’s evils.

Dathcha

Dathcha’s ambitions to leave Tatooine and travel the galaxy changed his life. After narrowly surviving a brutal attack on his clan, leaving only a few scattered survivors, he had realized the time had come to move on. His only companion was R2-Q2, a captured Imperial droid with enough resources to get him off this rock. Together, they made their way to the Rebel Alliance, warring against the very forces that had slaughtered his family. A Jawa fighting the Empire was strange to see, and everyone knew it—but this was to be feared. Dathcha’s expertise in handling droids and scrap pieces of tech made him a useful asset in Yavin’s docking bays, repairing anything that would come his way. You can still meet him on Ajan Kloss today, keeping the spirit of Tatooine in his heart and in his work.

Kalit

Kalit was a little guy who made a big mistake, leading to him seeking attention from a much busier and colorful group: Jabba’s court. Once a proud Jawa chief, he was ejected from his post and banished after it was discovered he was stealing droids and other valuable equipment from the clan to give to Jabba, whom he owed hefty gambling debts to. With only his sister Wittin standing by him, he had no choice but to join the very Hutt who’d gotten him into this mess as a servant. By the year 4 ABY, Kalit and Wittin were taking many odd jobs around the palace, whether it was cleaning the rancor pit or playing percussion for Max Rebo’s band. But while mixing drinks aboard the sail barge one day, chaos struck, and Jabba was killed. As he felt the foundation of the barge collapse beneath his feet, Kalit grabbed his sister and tossed her overboard as it exploded, killing the once-mighty chief.

Wittin

Wittin awoke buried in sand, with members of the very clan she’d been banished from surrounding her. They had found her brother’s body, and after laughing for a few minutes, didn’t really know what to do with her after finding her alive. Her former clan gave her some scraps they’d salvaged from the barge and bid her goodbye forever, leaving her alone in the dunes. Fortunately, she was able to lug her haul to a nearby village and begin a career as an independent parts trader, working with both humans and other Jawa clans. She always kept the memory of her brother in her mind, though, and what he’d done to save her life.

Chettkap-Chapter2.png

Chettkap

After accepting the Mandalorian’s delicious Mudhorn egg offering, Chettkap and his tribe realized they needed to feast on more rare delicacies. The more he feasted though, Chettkap realized he could do something different than the usual Jawa life. Chettkap decided to abandon the scavenging ways and ended up becoming a professional food critic. He struggled to find success at first, but after he was offered a guest appearance on famed restaurateur Fuy Gieri’s show, his popularity increased and became one of the galaxy’s most well known food critics.

Probably didn't do much to change your view on them either, oh well. Tomorrow we'll take a look at more of the galaxy's most obscure droids.
