Greedo

Anyone recon that Anakins Rodian friend (GL calls him "a greedo"😉 is the Greedo that Han kills in Ep4?

I think he is and I also think he'll be in Ep2 for some reason thay SW people have also took his databank entry off the Ep4 section in the last week.

Nah. Greedo turns up in a scene that was cut from the theatrical version, but WILL be in the DVD release. Anakin's friend is called 'Wald', I think.

Besides if he was greedo wouldn't that make him kinda old? Anyway Greedo isn't supposed to have lived on Tatooine anyway.

Same species. Different guys. And I believe you are right on the name, Ush.

Yeah, name's right. As for Greedo, EU sources suggest that Tatooine's loaded with Rodians. If he was, say, 10 in TPM, he would be about 44 in ANH. Not too old to be bounty hunting...

Anyway greedo was supposed to have been born on Rodia and then after the murder of his father at the age of three they relocated to a jungle planet which he did not leave till the age of 15.

Don't make me shoot you for using EU material, Edna... if he turns up on Tatooine in the DVD then that continuity is completely fried.

Hey! That is why I said SUPPOSED! Why did I know youwould jump down my throat for that?

That wasn't jumping down your throat... just a friendly reminder that there is no 'supposed' about EU material...

You see! This is exactly why dont normally post in this forum!

It's hardly rocket science. Just ignore the books when it comes to the films! See?

I think it was a good move for Lucas to cut the Anakin/Greedo fight scene from EpI. It would've been nice to see a little of anny's dark side in the movie, but i think Lucas has already pushed his luck with characters "conicidentally" running into each other from the original trilogy. Examples: Anakin creates C3P0 "Thank the maker" 🙂 who conicidentally escapes Vader in ep4 and just happens to land on the same world where he was first activated. It also is an odd conicident that (old) obi-wan kenobi ends up on tatooine in an effort to hide from the empire. With all of the thousands of planets to hide on, why would he pick the planet of "Vader's" birth??? I love the original trilogy, but think lucas is expecting us to except too many conicidences like this. Also, I think the greedo/solo scene in the SW special edition was a dreadful mistake by lucas...old greedo was askin' for it! 😈

Maybe Obi Wan was looking for the planet "Farthest from the center of the galaxy"

Personally, I'm waiting for Episode-III before passing a final judgement.

The whole Tatooine thing is set to become clearer in Episode-II, I'm sure of that.

True, RC...I also think everything will be explained by epIII, as far as tatonine etc...But think Lucas has already overused that "dark center of the universe" planet too much already. Like to see some new worlds...perhaps some that seem to possess more than just one climate. Also, how do you think he will manage to fit...the bothans, mon mothma, tarkin, the palpy/sid connection, amidala-anany, anannys' fall, the clones, boba/jango,the clone wars, and the rise of the imperial empire in 2 movies??? Seems like a huge task. I think he is quite capable, but would appreciate a lot more character development than we saw in ep I. Also a Chewie cameo in II or III would be sweet! 🤣

Well, Annie lifed on Tatooine so it is of importance to the movie

Insanewookie said something along the lines of greedo's death being cut from the special edition, I keep hearing about that, was it just in the U.S. vertion?

It hasn't been cut from anywhere, just that a lot of people WANTED the new version to be cut and are hoping it will be put back to the original for the DVD release.

I thought the fight anakin has is with Wald anyhow.

Of course, I haven't seen the scene, but from what I hard someone addresses the person he fights as 'Greedo' afterwards.

I think it's in the novel, would have to check though.
