Achilles Posted August 23, 2004 Share Posted August 23, 2004 Originally posted by RedHawke Banthas eat Bantha fodder, meaning it is Bantha Food like hay for horses, now Bantha Poodoo is what comes out the other end! My understanding as well. Main Entry: fod·der Pronunciation: 'fä-d&r Function: noun Etymology: Middle English, from Old English fOdor; akin to Old High German fuotar food -- more at FOOD 1 : something fed to domestic animals; especially : coarse food for cattle, horses, or sheep 2 : inferior or readily available material used to supply a heavy demand <routine entertainment fodder> <fodder for tabloids> - fodder transitive verb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But ya'll are missing a point here, and that is "Bantha Poodoo" means "Bantha Fodder", as that's how it was translated into from Huttese. Jabba doesn't say Bantha Fodder, he says Bantha Poodoo. The subtitles says Bantha Fodder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, that's entirely possible, but until we see something more definitive, I'm sticking with Bantha Poodoo = nice-way-of-saying-Bantha-poop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK... just checked that one out and you are right again InsaneSith! *Looks down at a Bantha Burger, now knowing what they really eat, and heads straight for the restroom...* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurgan Posted August 28, 2004 Share Posted August 28, 2004 Then again, this could be a case of the films contradicting the novelisations/comics. In which case the films take precedence... Since the "poop" idea is really only supported in the non-film official materials (though it still seems a bit odd for somebody to yell "FOOD!" in traffic, but then a lot of curse words are used for things other than what they literally mean, so it's not THAT hard to imagine). To a little kid who can't read, "POODOO" sounds like "poo" and "doo doo" which to kids mean "poop." I didn't fall into that trap when I saw ROTJ for the first time, because my Dad was there to read the alien subtitles and explain what any words I didn't understand meant. Good ol' parents. ; ) Dangit...Somebody needs to get George on the Bat-Phone and get a clear answer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sith_master2000 Posted August 30, 2004 Author Share Posted August 30, 2004 Well with all these things added up now I'm sure everyone knows what Bantha fodder and poodoo mean. Still it was a very confusing topic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kurgan Posted October 30, 2004 Share Posted October 30, 2004 Small animals? Interesting (assuming that info is actually correct). That might be a better fit than "poop" or "grain." It would work as food and as an insult without having to assume that Banthas eat manure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sith_master2000 Posted November 1, 2004 Author Share Posted November 1, 2004 Look guys, I think this thread is a little old now, I started it back... god knows how long ago. It's Bantha Fodder: food, Bantha Poodoo: crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
