Well, thankgoodness none of my players want to play a character of Yoda's race. I think some things are just best left 'special' and uncommon. Especially a key figure like Yoda.
Phf is Pshaw? Heh heh....okay, I totally missed that.
Horacio, I guess to be fair, none of the hype was filtered to the audience through the movies. But if you're a Star Wars fan and pick up the comic books or just the "Star Wars Insider" magazine, then she was over-hyped. She had her own comic mini-series from Dark Horse. She constantly showed up in SWI mag a lot, or the actress that played her. It was silly.
Its obvious that they wanted to re-create the excitement and fandom that had come up around Boba Fett. Like it was a formula or something.
No, the thing about Boba Fett was (many factors actually) that he was mysterious, cool looking, edgy, and most of all........Lucas wasn't trying to make him cool or anything. People look at him and want to know more. Especially when there wasn't more info available on him. It was neat.
Now, here comes the new trilogy. I can see people sitting around a production meeting saying how cool it would be to make another Bounty Hunter that kind of becomes the Boba Fett of Ep1-3. Basically, the 'cool' character that everyone wants to know more about.
She was kind of intriguing, but before the fans could start to boil up a Boba Fett like relationship/interest, the Star Wars people were ramming her down our throats. They tried too hard. Now, most of us don't even care. Woopdee doo.
To me, and a few others, our new Boba Fett (our new side character we think is cool and doesn't show up often) is Plo Koon.
Its sort of like asking girls out. Come off too strong and they get annoyed and turned off. If you're cool, just be there and be yourself......let the rest take over.
