[Cirrsseeto Quez]

I love these guys!

[JMK]

Very cool! It's good to have this extra info to read up on.

[HunterJodoKast]

Marvelous reference page! Bravo SW.COM!

[Kar'h'tzen Shaed]

Very nice!

What, no Bothans, though?

[Jedi Master Carr]

I still sware I saw a Bothan around that table, I will have to see it again to be sure.

[darth_mcbain]

I was watching for the Bothan when I saw it last Saturday, and I saw what you were referring too - but I couldn't tell definitively if it was or not...

[ReaperFett]

Im goign tommorow, what type of Bothan was it?

[Jedi Master Carr]

I am not sure it was just a hairy creature and you only see it for a a second, Mcbain do you remember where it exactly was on the table? Like who is closest to the creature.

[ReaperFett]

I mean, does he have a snout or not? Bothans come in two flavours :)

[darth_mcbain]

If I was looking at the same thing you were, it was off to the left of the screen near (I think) a Quarren.

[Kar'h'tzen Shaed]

The "Bothan" I saw at the Separatist meeting I described in the "Easter Eggs/Bloopers" thread. But he was to the left of Count Dooku - well, the Count's right, but the extreme left on the screen - when the good Dark Jedi is talking about their droid armies. You stop seeing him about when Dooku says the Republic will have no choice but to bow to their every wish, or whatever he says like that.

[Jedi Master Carr]

Cool, somebody needs to get a screencap up so we can get a better look, I was really hoping a Bothan would show up in the films.

[ReaperFett]

Right, saw him.





I dont think he is. You see him TWICE. The second is the one you speak of, but once when Dooku is speaking, you see his nose. His mouth looks reptillian to me

[Kar'h'tzen Shaed]

Hm... must watch harder next time for that, then.

[Arya Ravenwing]

I saw tusks on him. ? Am I crazy? Whatever it was it looked like a Bothan to me. ^__^

[Lady Vader]

Bothans don't have tusks!

Hmmm... must see the movie again and look for this. Also, if anyone has the movie on CD or whatnot, they could slow-frame it through that part to get a goooooooooood look. A still-capture would be nice.

[Arya Ravenwing]

Yes they do! Wait...Okay they don't. Maybe I *didn't* see tusks. ANYWAY it looked like a Bothan! Had a sort of snout like they do. ^_^;

[Jedi Master Carr]

I saw it again, and it looked like one to me, it also didn't have tusk it was its teeth, it either had a mouth of a gorrilla or a cat (Bothans have been described both ways) I would need a screen capture to be certain though. I also think I saw the same thing outside the nightclub walking by when Obi-Wan came up to it, it went by pretty quick though so I am not sure about that one.

[Lilaena De'Ville]

Yes I JUST saw the movie again. What I saw was NOT tusks, I repeat, NOT tusks. Teeth. And the mouth looked monkeyish, not reptillian, Fett.

I still think it was a Bothan.

[Loklorien s'Ilancy]

Well LD, we'll be able to spot it's nosehairs when we go to the Cinerama :D

[Jedi Master Carr]

Well I asked the Jedi Council on the OS so maybe we will get an answer of maybe not, we shall wait and see.

[Jedi Master Carr]

I found a picture on the OS and here it is let me know what you think he is the one on the left

[ReaperFett]

Looks reptillian to me :)

[Darth Vader]

You're all incorrect.

That is Toonbuck Toora, a Seperatist leader whose race is not known to me.

[ReaperFett]

Well, Im not incorrect :)

[Jedi Master Carr]

No this is Toonbuck Toora

Which looks nothing like that guy, the thing looks monkey like to me, but it may not be a Bothan. Also the picture is so dark it is really hard to tell.

[Jedi Master Carr]

Here is another pic that somebody brighten up on the Jedi Council forum

It looks monkey like to me but it still might not be a bothan, I can't see its ears to see if they are pointed. I am sure somebody will say what it is one day.

[JMK]

It's one of the monkeys from Planet of the Apes! Those damn dirty apes!

[Lady Vader]

Bothan's have fur. That thing DEFINITELY does not have fur. Therefore, it is not a Bothan, but another species that is part of the Seperatist movement.

[ReaperFett]

SHAVEN BOTHAN! :)

[Lady Vader]

>_<

I don't think so.

Besides, his cranium is waaaaaaaaaaaaay too large for a Bothan.

[Kar'h'tzen Shaed]

He looks more Bothan-like in the other shot he's in, then.

[Jedi Master Carr]

Well so he is some monkey like species that we just don't have a name for I guess.

[Lilaena De'Ville]

O_o

Interesting. He looked like he had more hair when I saw him in the movie. His mouth/snout didn't have any hair though, thats for sure...

[Jedi Master Carr]

I know I did too, maybe its the pitcher quality I have no idea. If somebody else wants to they can ask the question to the Jedi Council on the OS maybe ask if it is a Bothan and if it is not what is it.

[Lilaena De'Ville]

WHAT THE HELL IS IT?!?!?!!?

:D Oh wait, you meant GO and ask them....
