The most common place for Tusken Raiders to be is the high lands of Tatooine.

[Reply #121 on:]

Jundland Wastes? Only other thing I can think of? 

[Reply #122 on:]

I may be no chief authority on SW lore, but I think the answer has been given, and Nurdy was closest and most general.

[Reply #123 on:]

Here's my question then:

What is the proper name for the Y-Wing?

[Reply #124 on:]

That would be BLT-A4 Y-WING

[Reply #125 on:]

No, that's not it. The proper name, with the company in it.

[Reply #126 on:]

Koensayr BTL-A4 Y-Wing.

[Reply #127 on:]

Bingo, the wrinky naked guy with the German helmet and moustache has got it.

Then why did'nt you say the Company in your question technically i'm right since you did'nt say with the Company name in your Qustion

[Reply #129 on:]

I said proper name for the Y-Wing. You don't order a damn Y-Wing by just calling it a Y-Wing and it's model type, you'd need to mention the company who makes it or you'd look like a proper idiot.

[Reply #130 on:]

Not to mention that you actually got the designation wrong...

Anyway:

Name at least 10 Sith Lords. They have to be proper Sith, Dark Jedi don't count.

[Reply #131 on:]

No i don't you do since you did'nt say the company in your question, Arrr well who cares on with Slackjawedmoron question 

also Slackjawedmoron you got the designation wrong my one is right !

its actually BLT-A4 Y-WING
---------------------------------------

For that Sith question

Darth Vader
Darth Maul
Darth sidious
Darth Tyranus
Darth Rage
Darth Scarz
Darth Revan
Darth Malak
Darth Seer
Darth Bane

[Reply #132 on:]

Most of those are correct, but...

Darth Rage?
Darth Scarz?
Darth Seer?

I'm not saying you're wrong, but a source would be nice, as I'm reasonably well-versed in Star Wars lore, and I've never heard of any of them.


Also,
 

also Slackjawedmoron you got the designation wrong my one is right !

Not according to the Official site databank entry.

In the real world, anyone who wants to name aircraft properly (formally) will name the company as well. This way: Boeing Sikorsky RAH-66 Comanche.

As for the question... No idea.
Did we ever get the correct answer to the question of the last grand admiral?

[Reply #134 on:]

Darth Scarz? That is so lame. I bet he was the asshole everyone hated. I expect Vader gave him a wedgie and the Emperor ate his sandwich so in return he decided to give himself a lame bad ass name. I hold bets he listens to insane clown possee too.

I think most Sith lord names are Latin, or some sort of Pseudo Latin.

Mmmm... BLT.

Assuming the names on that list are all actual Sith names:
Maul, Rage, Seer, and Bane are regular English words.  Sidious is just "insidious" with the first syllable dropped.  Scarz is obviously just "scars" with a stupid Z instead of an S.  Tyrannus is Greek for tyrant, as anyone who likes dinosaurs could tell you.

I remember reading somewhere that when George Lucas was coming up with a name for Darth Vader, he wanted a name that sounded suggestive of both "dark father" and "death water".

Your guess is as good as mine when it comes to Revan and Malak, but the "mal" in Malak is probably from Latin.

@DavidA: And doesn't darth vader actually MEAN "dark father" in like norwegian or something?

[Reply #137 on:]

Anyone else tried to match up Star Wars weapons with there inspired  WW2 counter parts?

The DL44 is modeled after the Luger.

[Reply #138 on:]

The lightsaber is modeled after a whomping stick.

I wouldn't know.  I don't speak Norwegian.

I'd say that you should ask Hawk or Ingvild about that, but I don't know if they even post here anymore.

[Reply #140 on:]

Ingvild posted not too long ago, I think... So she still exists. Don't remember which thread  it was in.

"Darth Vader" is neither Norwegian, Swedish or Danish. The only thing I've heard is that Lucas meant it to suggest "Dark Father"

@Nurdy: The BlasTech DL-44 was actually made from a German "Broomhandle" Mauser pistol with an attached WWI era German sniper scope manufactured by Hensoldt Wetzlar, a fire extinguisher dispersion nozzle (not a flash supressor as most people think) and an engine part from a model aeroplane as the front grill (the same part that was used for the muzzle of Greedo's blaster). This is for the ANH version of the gun.
The BlasTech E-11 was made from a British Sterling submachine gun with... Oh screw it- just go to Parts of Star Wars and click "item" at the bottom.

[EDIT]I knew the Mauser and Sterling modifications by heart, though. I think they used windshield wipers on the barrel of the E-11, just like they did on Vader's saber, and not (as they speculate on PartsofSW.com) T-tracks from sliding doors, though that is also possible. I base my theory upon the fact that on some E-11s, the grips aren't glued onto the barrel itself, and that results in them "arcing" between the cooling holes they're inserted into... What always baffled me was that the prop-makers (alledgedly) used windshield wipers off of a Sherman tank for Vader's saber instead of regular everyday wipers.[/url]

Ah ha!  Wikipedia pulls through again!

"It is also worth noting that 'Vader' is the Dutch word for 'father'"

I'd say that you should ask Hawk or Ingvild Atropine about that, but I don't know if they she even posts here anymore.

[Reply #143 on:]

A word that close to "father" is bound to be the actual word for father in some language. I would almost bet money on that Lucas didn't have the Dutch word in mind when he tried to come up with names.

I got mine from the Star wars Cross section book. 

As for those other sith lords

Darth Rage- Darth Rage became Darth Sidious' new apprentice after Darth Maul died in Episode 1. Darth Rage was eventually killed in a light saber duel with Jedi Master Plo Koon.

Darth Scarz- The first known Sith Lord of recorded history

Darth Seer- Founder of the modern Sith Order

[Reply #145 on:]

Yeah, whatever. A source, please. There's more then a few fanwank websites out there with all sorts of illegitimate info.

Comics? Games? And which ones?

[Reply #146 on:]

No, the first Sith was Exarr Kunn.

[Reply #147 on:]

Who knows Exar Kun could be Darth Scarz just changed his name exactly like Anikan have you thought of that ???


Well for Darth Rage go here- http://scripts.cgispy.com/faq.cgi?user=xiojade&a=viewfaqs&cat=Darth%20Rage

as for Darth Seer- http://forums.starwars.com/thread.jspa?threadID=27316&start=0855

[Reply #148 on:]

No, Exar Kun was called Exar Kun, -pre and -post Sith.

See the Tales of the Jedi comic series.

[Reply #149 on:]

Well Darth Scarz was the first something

[Reply #150 on:]

Remember what I said about fanwank pages? Particullarly that first one... Dooku's first name is Jard? Please.

The second one is an oblique fan reference on a thread. It means nothing.

Find me three actual Sith, please. One's that have actually appeared outside some fanboys imagination. You or someone else.

[Reply #151 on:]

Darth Scarz was the first ghetto wigga' Dark Jedi Sith.

His albino like skin never helped.

Darth Scarz: "Yo, I is gonna bust a cap in that Jedi's ass.  He be dissin' me 'cause I is black."

Darth Vader: "You are mistaken.  You are not black."

Darth Scarz: "Whatchoo talkin' 'bout, Vader?  I is black.  I be from the ghetto."

Darth Vader: "Find a mirror and look upon yourself.  You are in fact white."

Darth Scarz: "You be dissin' me?  You best not be dissin' me.  If'n you is, I is gonna bust a cap in yo' ass, too."

Vader force chokes Scarz.

Darth Vader: "Admiral Piett, call the cleaning staff.  Have them dispose of that mess."

Admiral Piett: "Yes, my lord."

[Reply #153 on:]

It's funny because when masked, Vader is voiced by a black guy.

[Reply #154 on:]

Well Scrap Scarz then

What about Darth Sion he's in KOTOR 2

[Reply #155 on:]

He'll do. Add, Exar Kun, and you've just got one left.

[Reply #156 on:]

Darth Vader
Darth Maul
Darth sidious
Darth Tyranus
Darth Revan
Darth Malak
Darth Bane
Exar Kun
Darth Sion

and for the last one i'll go with Darth Bandon he's in the first KOTOR

also with Exar Kun why has'nt he got that whole Darth thing like everyone else ?

[Reply #157 on:]

Because he didn't need one. The Darth thing was bascially a fad amonst Sith Lords. It really came into vogue post-Bane. 1000 year line of Darths.

Here are some other Sith Lords, just for fun.

Ulic Qel-Droma
Ludo Kresh
Marka Ragnos
Darth Nihilus
Darth Traya
Lumiya
Naga Sadow

Meh. That's pretty much all the important ones...

So, go nuts.

[Reply #158 on:]

How many times a year do all the Jawa Clans Gather and what do they do there ?

[Reply #159 on:]

Once a year, they have a huge as swap meet, tell some tales, trade crap and then get drunk.
