Dannik Jerriko that guy always creeped me out as a kid and reading the back story on him......well lets just say you wouldn't want to meet him in a dark ally

Dannik Jerriko was an Anzati bounty hunter known as the Eater of Luck, and by others as Death.

I knew that ....just testing :wink:

One of my favourite little side stories is the one about IG88. He has three or four brothers (or whatever you might call them) with the IG model and then their number. It's not all that interesting i know but then they all go crazy ape bonkers and kill everyone [/quote]

I was chatting with Andy (chazb73) the other day, and mentioned how IG-88 was one of my all time favourite figures, the type of character you wouldn't mess with.

But all that changed a couple of months ago when I got back into SW collecting, and found out his head was a recycled prop from the Mos Eisley cantina of the earlier film. That kind of took the sinister edge off of him, for me... now knowing he was used to originally dispense a mocha latte. Or perhaps a blue milkshake. That's not Bounty Hunter material, in my eyes.

I read somewhere that the head was part of a jet engine

 

[Banton989]

Yep, its a flame tube from a Rolls Royce Derwent engine

Chris Trevas made a nice nod to that for a Celebration artwork:

I'd never noticed the similarities before now.

It's really cool how new things can still be found out about the films 8)

That is excellent! Love it

And Gary, I was surprised to find out, too... shows the depth of these films, and the amount of work that goes on in the background 8)

 

[chazb73]

Agreed that is brill

IG88 looks like a Terminator bad ass type character not to be messed with ... not so sure now :?

As for names I'm a traditionalist, leave them as they are, instead of some new age cack name

I loved the fact that Nikto, Klatuu and Barada were a homage to the film "The day the Earth stood Still" - thats where Lucas got the names from

Couldn't agree more Andy... I can't stand change just for the sake of it :roll:

Agree 100% Andy

And say hello to Lathe and Pagetti!!! Of course that's their real names!!!! How silly would it be to think otherwise...

in other words, more confusing EU names that makes modern collecting a bit of a bitch at times.

:roll:

What a pile of.

guess nikto and weequay are species.
