obscure, bacground characters as 1/6 figures

[the dude person]

I would like more alien characters, hammerhead, the dude with three eyes etc. And probably that dude that got his arm chopped off by Obi Wan.

That would be Ponda Baba. He's an Aqualish. Sorry, mega Star Wars nerd here... know pretty much everything off the top of my head about it, except for all the redundant, poorly thought out and inconsistent facts being churned out by the Clone Wars series...

Personally, I would like to see Anthony Daniels cameo role in AOTC; he was "Captain Danyl Faytoni"... only time in SW history where we see Daniels without a mask! Here's a pic:

and without the funny hat

and his partner, Ahck Med-Beq (only time we see Ahmed Best as anyone but Jar Jar... not only in SW, but ever as far as I know... too lazy to bring him up on imdb...)

So Lucas divides into what is "his" and what isn't; but what really is "his" anyway? He did not design the Millenium Falcon. Nor did he build the set for Jabba's sail barge. He did not create the buzz, hum, and glow of the lightsaber, nor did he decide how General Grievous was to look. He did not contribute to the choreography of the lightsaber battles, nor did he even direct all the Star Wars films. All these things were done by other people; Nick Gillard for the lightsaber battles, Ben Burt for the sounds and languages of the Star Wars universe, John Williams for the awe-inspiring music, Irvin Kershner directed Empire Strikes back, Stephen Spielberg directed Return of the Jedi. The list goes on and on. George Lucas may have started with the idea originally, had the dream that started it all, but ultimately he has barely contributed anything other than a story.

I meant canon/story, not everything about production/ who did what in real life...

And that's where the words "pretty much" come in.

All I'm saying is that I know a lot more star wars lore than most people (all, actually) I personally know face-to-face. Like for example I know off the top of my head that Senator Orn Free Taa is a blue twi'ek with 4 headtails (or "lekku"), when most twi'leks only have 2. Having extra lekku is considered by twi'leks to be very good luck, or a sign that a twi'lek is destined for greatness. He is also a corrupt politician. And he DID appear in the prequels movies (not some "EU" character per se).

Have I spewed enough nerdly trivia to convince you?

And while I don't know quite nearly as much about production and filming as I do lore, I do know that both Adam Savage and Grant Imahara from mythbusters have worked on props/ miniatures in the prequels. Adam in fact helped build the "Padme's appartment building" miniature. I think Grant worked on the Trade Federation hangar in Episode 1 (also a minature)...

Word to the wise. There are a hell of a lot more people here, who's nerd caps are considerably more polished. So I'd keep the "qualification bragging" to a minimum unless you're prepared to match whits with someone who's ready to bust out with the chemical make-up of Jabba's foam or how many wires there are in 3PO's midsection, per film, and where they came from. They count stormtrooper teeth for christ's sake!

I don't doubt that. I'd welcome anyone who wanted to "match whits" with me. I'd honestly like to meet someone who knows more about SW than I do (not being sarcastic or saying there aren't people like more SW-knowledgable than me. I geneuinely want to, because none of my friends/family can even compare...) Then I could learn something new!

I'd love to know where C-3P0's wires came from. I may someday do a fanfilm and such info could be quite useful in getting star-warsy wires for props and stuff...
