That really would not surprise me. People thought that JJ Abrams ruined the prequels... I don't think they were ready for what Disney might have had in mind. > I would be surprised if Disney gave consideration to anything in TCW as it > would appear most of the writers have only the most rudimentary understanding > of the universe and characters. There is talk of Bib Fortuna being the former > daimyo after Jabba the Hutt... but that's all we hear of it. Book SPOILERS! .. .. .. I had heard that, in TBOBF, Bobba Fett supposedly dethrowned Bib Fortuna before taking over Jabba's palace. If that is not the case, then maybe they did retain some of the litterary canon. In one of the books, it is explained that the palace used to be a monestary, and the brainwalkers are former monks who had isolated themselves from all physical sensations. Apparently, when Jabba's crime syndicate moved in, they did not kick the monks out, and both the still-embodied monks and the brainwalkers still inhabit part of the palace. After Jabba's demise at the Saralac's pit, Fortuna returns to the Palace to find that the monks (with most of Jabba's people gone to the rebel execution) have taken the full Palace back over. He tries to reinstall himself as the new being in charge, but the monks seal him up in the throne room. He had been plotting with them to overthrow Jabba, and then plotting on his own to seize total control. The monks apparently found out. Ultimately, Bib is turned into a brainwalker, as are a few others of Jabba's crew that either remained at, or returned to, the Palace. Being a walker does not stop Fortuna from trying to regain access to the Palace's central computers... some of his secret codes are still valid... but, as a walker, he does not have hands or eyes. He teaches himself to manipulate spoons and other "eating implements" with his two front legs. The last you hear of him, he is still trying somehow to access the computer without dropping his tool or being found out. That is all from "Tales From Jabba's Palace," an official Lucasfilm's book that tells background stories of many of the "minor" characters at Jabba's Palace when Luke arrives at the beginning of Return of the Jedi, and follows most of them through the aftermath of Jabba's death. If Fortuna was successful at getting into the computer, it is possible that he did eventually take over and that he may have even found a body to have his brain put back into. The book also tells the story of how Bobba escaped the Saralac before being too digested to escape. > The last episode of TBOBF was a massive let down. I would say that only 3/7 > episodes were good with the rest being extremely mediocre. That is too bad. I think many had high hopes for it, based on how they enjoyed The Mandalorian. * SLMR 2.1a * Gimme three chili dogs and a malt. --- þ Synchronet þ CAPCITY2 * capcity2.synchro.net * Telnet/SSH:2022/Rlogin/HTTP .
