I'd like to bring out another general SW question. I know there is What's in a Name, RPG telling, and alot other discussions about stuff.

I wanted to bring the question-

What is your favorite Star Wars Specie?

MIne is definitely the... Iktotchi. That is because the one and only Rozali is one.

Also, maybe I'll throw out a bonus-

What is your favorite SW creature? An example would be a Rancor.

So fellow Swaggers, I ask YOU!

PS-I CHANGED THE NAME DUE TO AMOUNT OF QUESTIONS-

Asok

Favorite sentient species: I am tempted to say Gran, but there are so many good ones... I always loved all the OT aliens, especially the cantina guys, and guys from Jabba's palace. And Jawas! But my favorite... DAMMIT THIS IS HARD!

Favorite creature: Dewback! Or maybe Ronto.

Basically I love everything on the planet Tatooine.

Boshuda

Casca1967

Race has to be Stenax, followed close by Iktotchi
Creature is a dewback.
Least favorite...Pretty much anything on wookiepedia that comes from Endor

Tusserk

Ahhhh, this is almost as tough as asking me my favourite animal! :P

Naturally, I've developed a tremendous soft spot for the ol' Trandoshans (actually, I first developed that soft spot watching the Robot Chicken Star Wars episodes! "Am I the only one here polite enough to take of his shoes!?!?!"), but I'm not sure they're my all time favourite. Dugs are fantastic, I freaking love their design! Bothans are neat, too, or at least some of the versions of them out there. I liked the snapshot we saw of the Nelvaanians in the Clone War cartoon shorts...

As for creatures... man, well, I must admit I love the varactyls. I would have one in a heartbeat if they existed!! And I remember being super duper excited when I saw the sando aqua monster on the big screen. ("HOLY CRAP it's like some sort of giant otter... thing!! OH MAN look at its flippers look they work like a walrus...!!")

I'll definitely also always have a soft spot for tauntauns. Aaaaahhhh, creatures. I love creatures!

Rozali

Oh my! I forgot to mention my OWN favorite creature! That is tooo the Varactyl. They have such posture. And the remind my a bit from some Harry Potter creatures like Buckbeak, a griffin, and alot of others. I think I mentioned the Varactyl on one of your pics, Tusserk.

So these are very interesting results and i hope its not too diffucult guys :p !

Let more comments pour in and see if we can get everyone!

Rozali

I may toss another optional question(s) to keep this discussion going.

Favorite Planet?
Vehicle?
Bounty Hunter?
You name it.

Mine are Felucia, undecided, and Aurra Sing.

Xanamiar

Humans are my favorite species.

The Duck is my favorite creature ((Seriously ducks on Naboo))

Naboo is my favorite planet. (Looks really familiar)

Jedi Starfighter is my favorite vehicle

and gotta go with Boba Fett...

Asok

Hmm... again, I want to go with Tatooine...

Vehicle: X-Wing baby!! Podracers are pimp too... and gotta love those T-16s...

Bounty Hunter: Boba Fett is cool, no doubt, but 4-LOM has a certain je ne sais quois... I think my little brother still has the 12" figurine...

Boshuda

Tusserk

Planet? I'm tempted to go with Felucia... but have a definite fondness for Alderaan, as well.

Vehicle? Not sure I can go past the ol' AT-AT. I mean seriously.

Bounty hunter? Bossk. :P

Derf

Very difficult exercice...

Favorite planet: Nar Shaddaa
Favorite species : Twi'leks
Favorite creature : Fwits
Favorite Bounty hunter : Jozzel Moffet
Favorite vehicle : Baudo-class Star Yacht

Derf

Rozali

Lol Tusserk-

Nice opinions all of you-

Also I changed the title, I may seem to be more appropriate.

Rozali

Guys, if you want to add more questions, you can.

Like
Favorite SW era?
Droid?
Weapon?
Type of lightsaber design or style?

Im hoping we can scatter across every question possible.

Rozali

Oh and yeah, Asok I gotta say that was funny!
Also, check out that Iron Baby one that's hilarious!

skogthejawa

Favorite planet: Coruscant, itd be cool to live on a planet that was a giant city.
Favorite species : Shistavanen, its as close to a werewolf as possible.
Favorite creature : voorpak. they are just so cute looking, but they will kill you.
Favorite Bounty hunter : HK-47. By far, the humorous dialogue he has is amazing!
Favorite vehicle : Naboo royal star cruiser
Droid : DUM series pit droid, they are simply awesome.
Weapon : Duelisthone Vibro-rapier. Silent, but deadly.

This is super hard to narrow down...

The Duelist

Asok

Favorite droid character: DEFINITELY C-3PO
Favorite Droid Model: more difficult... I always liked the J9 worker drone, and the gonk. And Pit droids are fun.
Era: Rebellion FTW!
Weapon: Deathhammer blaster pistol
Lightsaber: Anakin's last/Luke's first saber

Boshuda

Tusserk

OH MY GOD Asok I love it. Hahaha. See?? ATATs for the win!!

I couldn't say exactly which lightsaber specifically is my favourite, but I definitely love the classic design the best. Plain old straight cylindrical hilt, plain old single beautiful blade. The bells and whistles of other designs are fun and all, but if I were to ever have my own in hypothetical-world, I'd go simple and elegant. :D

Favourite droid? THIS WILL REQUIRE MORE THOUGHT.

I. J. Thompson

Favourite species: Gotal, but it has to be the movie version of the Gotal, with no nose. Somewhere along the way WotC gave these guys a silly little pug nose, and that's gradually becoming canon somehow... and that bugs me. :)

Favourite creature: the Aiwha. Seriously, riding through the sky on a small, flying whale seems like a great time to me.

Favourite planet: Bespin (in the person of Cloud City). If I could live in any location from any movie in history, it would be Cloud City.

Favourite bounty hunter: I'm tempted to say Zardra, but c'mon, she's pretty deep EU. My favourite of the ESB bounty hunters seems to change daily, but it's never Boba Fett. He's in last place for me.

Favourite weapon? Lightsaber?: Man, you guys are hardcore! :D

TNJadeonar

Favorite Droid Character: Guri

If your going to complement me, don't tell me my work is neat, cool or awesome. If you really like it, tell me why you like it and what you like about it. Only then I'll take it as a complement.

Rozali

ha Ha, going hardcore there, TNJ.
But thats an interesting addition, Jedi and Sith, Favorites?

I love how unrelated that stitch of Jabba and slave Leia is to that stupid adage thingy.

And angry Thai pilot FTW.

Boshuda

Tusserk

HAHAHAAAA @ Hisham. Everything about that post. You did it so right. XD

A tad more serious than my previous favourite;

Favourite piece of score? Mine's got to be 'Duel of the Fates' by a million miles. It's got to be one of my favourite pieces of film score of ALL TIME!

JohnGWolf

Twi'leks, Chadra Fans, Iron knights, Ryloth, Nar Shaddaa, Taris, Old Republic, Legacy, & of course Boba Fett. ;)
Oh and Flare-S Swoops. :)

Rozali

I could tell Xan, but I mean canonical, or is Xanathos a canonical name?

Like a very bad example would be starkiller (probably my least fav :p)

Tusserk

Oooh, yeah, I've got to admit I love the Order 66 track, though I'm not huge on the Grievous one. That style of action music dooooesn't really do it for me; while it definitely works well in the movie, it's just not what I'd listen to on its own. I'm much more a sucker for music that sounds 'big' and 'epic'.

Rozali

Yaeh, Tuss, Some thing like "Great Gate of Kiev", which a beautiful piece by Mossursky. Look it up on YouTube, its may be just for you. :p

Ohhh, and I accomplished a TWO page comment discussion! Thats a great feat for me!

Asok

I've always been a fan of the themes of the Jawas and Jabba the Hutt. The Asteroid Chase is sublime. But the BEST - Tales of a Jedi Knight. Really nails that subtle Star Wars theme.

Boshuda

I. J. Thompson

My favourite piece is definitely the concert suite 'Princess Leia's Theme' on the Star Wars album. Barely heard in the film, but epic and gorgeous on the record!

Judas

I really like the bit from the awards ceremony at the end of Episode 4. I wanted to use it for when my wife came down the aisle at our wedding, but she said "No."
Actually, she said it more like "NO!!!" then hit me in the face with a table.

Hisham

Dude!!!

I was invited to a friend's wedding about 10 years ago (he played a Gambler in my old SW campaign in high school), and at his reception dinner he played that music. This was a Chinese wedding by the way. And when the couple came to my table, he introduced me to his wife and new in-laws as the guy who indirectly made him play the Star Wars music at the wedding!

And I didn't even use any Star Wars music at my own wedding! LOL.

Tusserk

Ahhhh, nice, Roz!! Yeah, that's definitely the sort of thing I go for. :D I'm aaaalways up for any recommendations folks have of grand, sweeping instrumental pieces. Mmmmm.

Asok- I quite like the Jawa theme music! And the ewok's theme too, actually. The original trilogy has so many lovely musical motifs, I wish that were as much the case with the prequels.

LOL at Judas and Hisham! Hah. I... I don't think we actually ended up using any Star Wars music at our wedding!! I know we were considering 'Victory Celebration' for a while for our 'BYE SUCKERS, HAVE FUN CLEANING UP, WE'RE GOING TO OUR HONEYMOON!!' music, but since we went to New Zealand we ended up going with 'The Ring Goes South'.

My brother in law, though. Maan. He got away with playing the Imperial March when his bride appeared... don't ask me how!!

TNJadeonar

Now those are some really out there but kewl stories! :)

Rozali

Haha, these are great stories.

Favorite Star Wars Episode? Think about this one...

I personally like the 3rd the best. Closely is the Phantom Menace. Then maybe the 5th...

Asok

A New Hope, baby! ESB might have been the best film, but nothing beats ANH for awesome, classic, campy fun!

Boshuda

Tusserk

Favourite episode? Maaaan, tough... but I think I've got to go with Empire Strikes Back. Maybe I'll watch it again today!

Seghast

Species: Jawa. No one ever suspects a Jawa of being a highly-trained battle-hardened commando who may or may not be chemically imbalanced.

Creature: Toss up between Dewbacks and Varactyls. Really tough choice for me.

Vehicle: For looks, either a classic X-Wing, or the Eta-2 Actis-class light interceptor. For handling, TIE Defender hands down, as the Defenders were the coolest thing about the old TIE Fighter games. For sheer firepower (outside of a superweapon), the Cygnus Spaceworks XM-1 Missile Boat.

Favorite Character Type to Play: Commando, baby. Lightsabers and the Force mean nothing to an experienced soldier carrying every piece of high-tech weaponry he can get his greedy hands on.

Favorite Female: Darth Talon, easy. What can I say, I *love* the bad girls. Hurt me, baby, hurt me real good!

Rozali

Coolio, I have got some good and *naughty* responses...
I have to agree w/ Seghast, girls are better evil than good.
Like Aurra Sing for instance, not the prettiest but surely.... interesting.
