TK-8252 Posted October 20, 2004 Author Posted October 20, 2004 Originally posted by Kurgan For the longest time I insisted that "yellow lasers" like we see in JK2/JA for the Bryar pistol, and the Repeater weapons in all the JK series (minus Dark Forces) were something invented by the games. However, now watching the new ROTJ DVD, I see that in fact the lasers fired by the Speeder bikes are yellow. That is, assuming this isn't something that was changed in the 2004 editions... ; ) The training remote that shot light blasts at Luke in ANH also fired yellow bolts.
TK-8252 Posted October 23, 2004 Author Posted October 23, 2004 Here's a paragraph from the official Star Wars Databank: http://www.starwars.com/databank/technology/bowcaster/?id=eu Wookiees view their bowcasters as highly personal possessions. The weapons are bestowed upon young Wookiees as they complete traditional rites of passage into adulthood. Wookiees commonly decorate their bowcasters with clan markings, pictographs, and other engravings celebrating their greatest accomplishments.
Kurgan Posted October 24, 2004 Posted October 24, 2004 And now, Chewbacca ( ), for the GBA (Galactic Blaster Association)! GRAWWRL, RAAAAWWGG RAWG RAWG ROOOOAARRR!!!! *Threepio ( ) translating* He says "You can have my crossbow when you pry it from my cold, dead, paws."
RedHawke Posted October 25, 2004 Posted October 25, 2004 ^^^^ Bwahahahaha!!! Now that's comedy! I never liked the term Wookiee Bowcaster, I always referred to it as a Wookiee Blaster Crossbow, yes it had two bow-like things near the front, but there was no string or cable on the bow, and it fired blaster bolts after all so it never really fit the term Bowcaster to me... oh well.
Prime Posted October 25, 2004 Posted October 25, 2004 Trying to search for logical reasons for Star Wars technology is only going to give you a headache...
Lieutenant_kettch Posted October 25, 2004 Posted October 25, 2004 Originally posted by Shok_Tinoktin It is yellow in the middle, but it is still red around the edges (as far as I can tell) upon watchig it several times, i conclude that when they first fire, they are yellow, but when the angle changes, they turn to how you said
guybroom Posted November 21, 2004 Posted November 21, 2004 Originally posted by Prime Trying to search for logical reasons for Star Wars technology is only going to give you a headache... Ain't that the truth! (That was retorical - don't go arguing) Heh, Revlt said "cock." Shut up Prime!
Pho3nix Posted November 21, 2004 Posted November 21, 2004 yeah, I noticed that. I guess it's the same thing if someone takes away the Jedi's LightSabre.
