Star Wars Legends: Poll of the Week - Out-Of-Context Pictures

Which of these out-of-context pictures from a Star Wars Legends property is your favorite? (Context provided below)

1: “Heat stick”: Oh, no, that certainly doesn’t look like anything else, no….

2. Laser-eyes Leia: Is it possible to learn this power?

3. Hit where it hurts: He had it coming.

4. “Turn off the foam, Threepio!” I don’t know, that looks kind of fun, Luke.

5. Han punches an otter? An otter wearing fancy jewelry, no less.

6. Playing ships with a Sith: Vader plus younglings doesn’t usually go well….

And now, for some context:

1: “Heat stick” - Wedge Antilles and Wes Janson spend a cold night together on a mission, and yes, that is supposed to be a heat stick used to warm them and not a glowing something else (Star Wars - original Marvel Comics)

2: Laser-eyes Leia: Meet Leia Organa II, a replica droid of the Princess, designed to speak, move, and act like the real Leia, and equipped with blasters in her eyes. The real Leia Organa is captured and nearly forced to marry Trioculus, a three-eyed warlord claiming to be Palpatine’s son (he wasn’t – that was a different three-eyed guy), but right before the wedding Leia’s friends switch her with Leia Organa II. At the altar, the replica droid blasts Trioculus with a little pew pew straight from her eyes, killing him, and the real Leia is able to escape (Queen of the Empire)

3: Hit where it hurts: When Black Sun boss Prince Xizor’s attempted assault of Leia Organa (by drugging her with his powerful Falleen pheromones) is interrupted by Chewbacca coming to the rescue, Leia gives Xizor a well-deserved knee to the groin before escaping (Shadows of the Empire)

4: “Turn off the foam, Threepio!” On a mission with Leia and the droids, Luke Skywalker uses extinguisher foam to subdue some Blackhole troopers aboard a Hrakian ship (“Gambler’s World,” Early Star Wars Adventures)

5: Han punches an otter? Han Solo’s evil cousin Thrackan Sal-Solo has imprisoned Dracmus, a female Selonian who has been trained as a diplomatic envoy to humans. He forces Dracmus to fight Han, whom he has also imprisoned, but Han is familiar enough with Mandaba, the Selonian language, to convince Dracmus to go easy on him during the fight without Thrackan catching on. Han still loses the fight, but gains Dracmus’s trust, and when Dracmus is later rescued, Han is allowed to come along (Assault at Selonia)

6: Playing ships with a Sith: Plourr Ilo recalls her brother Harran (Harrandatha Estillo), who from childhood was an evil, vicious person who wanted her dead so that he could become ruler. Harran idolized Darth Vader, and when Harran met the Sith as a child, Vader made Harran his protégé, taking advantage of his sadistic personality and apparently also playing ships with him for hours (Star Wars comics, X-Wing: Rogue Squadron - The Warrior Princess)

Prince Xizor: You wanna read something? Leia Organa: ...I'm trying to think of how that could be a pickup line because it sounds like the beginning of one. Yes, maybe? Prince Xizor: Why don't you read my DICK Leia Organa: Oh. Prince Xizor: WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Leia Organa: Okay.

I’ve been seeing stuff for Shadows of the Empire everywhere this past week (it’s a staple from my childhood) and then I came on here and saw a fanart of Shadow with his name written in large letters, and let’s just say I misread it.

Vader stood at the ramp leading to the Emperor's personal shuttle, looking down at the shorter man. "I anticipate that I shall return in three weeks," the Emperor told him. "I trust you can keep the planet from falling apart while I am gone?" "Yes, my master." "I expect no less. [...]

"The Empire's victory in the Battle of Hoth has brought hard times for the Rebel Alliance. Han Solo has been frozen in carbonite by Darth Vader, and two huge bounties have been placed on the head of Luke Skywalker. The Empire wants him alive, but Prince Xizor, underlord of the most powerful criminal organization in the galaxy, wants him dead. Worse still is that the diabolical Xizor is holding Princess Leia Organa prisoner in his castle on the Imperial Center of Coruscant. This is a tactical maneuver, part of a larger master plan to lure Skywalker into his castle where he can be easily eliminated -- the key step in Xizor's plan to replace Darth Vader at the Emperor's side. Unaware of this danger, the young Jedi and Lando Calrissian sneak into Imperial City hoping to rescue Leia. Simply laying foot on Coruscant is a dangerous act for these two: high on the Empire's list of most-wanted outlaws, they could be easily recognized and captured -- or assassinated. Disguising themselves as beggars, they "borrow" the armored uniforms from a pair of elite Coruscant stormtroopers. These troopers are some of the Empire's finest, selected as home guards for the wealthiest and most cultured city in the galaxy. Joining forces with Chewbacca and Dash Rendar, Skywalker and Calrissian attempt to infiltrate Xizor's nearly impenetrable stronghold and rescue the princess."

- Luke Skywalker In Imperial Guard Disguise. From Kenner's Shadows of the Empire toyline (1996).

Some pieces from the "Darthtober" art challenge list I drew last month: Prince Xizor, a Pyke Syndicate member, the Grand Inquisitor, and a Dark Trooper.

The text reads:

"Luke Skywalker is being persecuted. Darth Vader is going to conquer the universe. Stop scratching your balls and do something."

Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire (Lucas Arts, 1996) for Nintendo 64. Magazine ad from Brazilian Super Game Power nº 37, April, 1997.

Luke Skywalker: Dash doesn't have survival instincts. His need to win has overpowered them. Wedge Antilles: That can't possibly be true. Luke Skywalker: Watch this. Hey, Dash! Race you to the bottom of the stairs! Dash Rendar: *jumps out the window*

Goncharov (1973, 2022) vs Shadows of the Empire (1996)

#not talking about aesthetics obviously just ... there's something very funny to me about lucasfilm doing this whole #what if we made a whole production about a movie but didn't make the movie #and then fandom just decides to do the same basic thing based on some guy's shoe #absolutely incredible. i will accept the over-use of 'chaotic energy' for this #anghraine babbles #goncharov 1973 #unreality cw #deep blogging #star wars #shadows of the empire #luckily i have other things to do or i'd personally mash goncharov and sote :P #imagine leia vs xizor (dir. martin scorsese)

Vader's image swirled into being in front of him. Xizor went on the offensive immediately: "Lord Vader! Why is the Navy attacking my ships?" There was a pause; then Vader said, "Because the ships, under your orders, are engaging in criminal activity." "Nonsense! My ships are trying to stop a Rebel traitor who destroyed my castle!" There came another pause. "You have two standard minutes to recall your vessels," Vader said. "And to offer yourself into my custody." The coldness at Xizor's core blossomed uncontrolled into an angry heat. He tried to keep his voice calm. "I will not. I will take this up with the Emperor." "The Emperor is not here. I speak for the Empire, Xizor." "Prince Xizor." "You may keep the title-for another two minutes."
