It would be cool to see the Nohgri in Episode 3!

Yeah it would. To see Vader manipulating them and acting like the evil sith he is would be real cool. Don't tell KingJedi though, he'll soil himself and then cry about how the books are bad.

That's his problem.

We don't need none of this, anymore bashing of members, and I'll close this post.

Sorry, Go Noghri! Hurrah!

I have explained that connecting of book characters and the episode prequels is acceptable so keep relating these to Ep. III and he shouldn't have any problems. As for the Noghri I am all for it.

I hope we see Rhuk and the other Nohgri in episode 3.

Yeah and what planet to they come from again? Honoghri or something? What sort of terrain does it have?

I'll post information about the Nohgri homeworld tommorow.

Can someone please describe these people for me...I'm in the dark here..

they're lizards the size of humans, and are the deadliest in the galaxy

Lizards the size of humans

Therir planet is on the far side of the outer rim and they worship
Vader as an almnost godly being.

They are ferocious,
yet efficient assissins used by the Emperor.

From
The Dark Force Rising Sourcebook

I heard Honoghr was destroyed in some source book. Not literally
destroyed like Alderaan was, but kinda like how people are speculating
that Naboo will turn out to be Dagobah.
I didn't read the
source very much. Was honoghr once a beautiful planet before
it became wastelands and poisonous?

Yeah, in one of the novels the surface of the planet had been
the victim of a environmental disaster, I think at the hands
of the Empire.

Part of the deal that Leia (also known
to the Noghri as Lady Vader) struck with them to get there help
was to offer help from the New republic to help them reclaim
their planet.

Ah I see. Sorry, I don't read EU novels, only the source books.

you should daft, them books is good readin'

Most of the books are by authors that write in styles that I
find boring to read. The only one I like is Timothy Zahn, but
I don't like ones such as Michael A. Stackpole and Kevin J Anderson.

Micheal stackplole and KJA are my favorite authors

Okay, back on topic please

Is that one bounty hunter in OT a Noghri?

No, the Nohgri were a creation of Timothy Zahn...I think, can someone back me up on this?

Yes I'm pretty sure they were made by Timothy Zahn. The lizard-like bounty hunter in TESB is Bosck, a Trandoshan who has a hate for Wookies.
Another alien species that is rather lizard-like are the Barabels (I think that's what they're called) and are seen in Shadows of the Empire.

weren't noghri in the Corellian trilogy??

Not sure. Was that made before or after Zahn's trilogy?

I think Zahns was the first novels that would be truly EU. Happy to be corrected though.

Did someone (possibly Steve Sansweet) say that we should consider the Thrawn Trilogy as Episode 7, 8 and 9 and that they are officialy what happens to Luke and his buddies after the OT?

I wouldn't think so. You'd think that Lucas would have had Luke and Leia rebuild the Jedi Order and that hadn't been done yet. In the Thrawn Trilogy Leia isn't even a Jedi, thats the one thing about the EU that I never liked. She is a Skywalker and should be a Jedi.

She was training to become a Jedi though, wasn't she?

yea, but her duties as cheif of state got in the way

I guess she's far too old to start training now that all these New Jedi Order books are coming out. Politics is her thing and she's a great fighter anyway.

I would consider Dark Empire as episode 7, Dark Empire 2 as episode 8, and Empire's End (Dark Empire 3) as episode 9. The "return" of Darth Sidious/Emperor Palpatine and the true death of The Empire makes this trilogy stand out and apart from all the other EU series. This in NO way means the other EU series aren't good. The Dark Empire Trilogy IS the turning point in the Galactic Civil War (in the EU). Cheers!

I just noticed something, The Emperor has extremely large temples in ROTJ, what are those things??

I think you're either referring to the "slugs" that were by the side of Palpatine's head, which were added in during post-production because of lighting problems by his head. Or you may mean the strange rings around Palpy's eyes in TESB. They were used as make-up to make him look more menacing and evil or something, but were not used in ROTJ.
