TheOutrider Posted November 13, 2004 Share Posted November 13, 2004 Ive always thought Dash Rendar was cool. Ive played a game called Shadow Of The Empire and it never says if he dies. Does he die, if so how? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shok_Tinoktin Posted November 13, 2004 Share Posted November 13, 2004 He dies at the end of Shadows of the Empire (the book anyway). His ship gets hit by a piece of debris, and that is how he dies. I don't remember the exact details of the battle though. I think it was on Coruscant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronbrothers Posted November 13, 2004 Share Posted November 13, 2004 In the book he dies, but I always have been under the impression that it was intended for his survival to be a matter of inerpretation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shok_Tinoktin Posted November 13, 2004 Share Posted November 13, 2004 Perhaps, but you would think that they would have picked up the storyline by now. They could be increasing the suspense, or not yet decided how to use him, or some other reason; but I think it is more likely that his death was supposed to be definite.

Astrotoy7 Posted November 13, 2004 Share Posted November 13, 2004 In the book, it was written as more definite that he died. However in the game it was deliberately scripted that his death, and the ships critical damage was moreso staged to facilitate his escape....... but dont just take my word for it of course http://www.starwars.com/databank/character/dashrendar/eu.html I hope someone else can remember this, but I am almost sure he may have been mentioned in the NJO, although may not have actually appeared/spoken etc in additon, the outrider is the damn coolest SW ship EVAR ! mtfbwya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jan Gaarni Posted November 13, 2004 Share Posted November 13, 2004 Yes, it turns out he seem to have made it. There's something about it in the "Ask the Jedi Council" section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Astrotoy7 Posted November 16, 2004 Share Posted November 16, 2004 Originally posted by TheOutrider Indeed the Outrider is a cool ship, THATS WHY ITS ME NEW NAME:D tis a cool ship and name to boot.... I like the levels you get to play as the outrider in the Shadows of The Empire Game My friend has a model of the outrider, its pretty awsome. The only other similar cool ship are the other modified freighters in the X-Wing Alliance game sorta like the falcon but with the cockpit bit in the middle, rather than on the side mtfbwya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coupes. Posted November 16, 2004 Share Posted November 16, 2004 I rembember him dyinging in the book, but if I remember correctly, when you beat the game on N64, you saw a cutscene that shows he faked his death for *can't remember reason*. Also he appears in XWA and helps free some bothans I think, and I beleive this happens after the events in SotE... I could be wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skinkie Posted November 16, 2004 Share Posted November 16, 2004 Doesn't he reappear in the comic Shadows of the Empire:Resurrection, or something like that, maybe Shadows of the Empire:Evolution, that sounds right too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkside_tanro Posted November 16, 2004 Share Posted November 16, 2004 Dash was my favourite Non Jedi Character. Of course before I got very much in EU i didnt care much for jedi. Dash indeed does have the Best Ship period. The outrider was just wicked. I still have the little toys of dash and his ship. Also i Have IG-88 and Xizor and luke From SotE and Chewbacca from SotE. I loved SotE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So does that goofy ass robot of his, "Leebo" I think it was? Yeah. They fly around in hyperspace at the end of the game saying...things to each other that I don't quite recall.

Astrotoy7 Posted December 4, 2004 Share Posted December 4, 2004 I listened to an interview with SOTE author Steve Perry at StarwarsEnDirect t'other day.... he mentioned that book and game endings were planned from the outset, with the game revealing Dash's survival. According to him, Dash did make a quick apperance in the SOTE Evolution comics, which actually focussed on Guri IIRC.... I still think though, Dash made some type of appearance or mention in the NJO series... Keralys might know, or even shok... mtfbwya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shok_Tinoktin Posted December 4, 2004 Share Posted December 4, 2004 Some people think he made an appearance, but it is not for sure. Apparantly, a person was described in a scene and people think it was a cameo of Dash, but they never said who it was (in the story or otherwise). I didn't notice when I was reading it, but I read something about that somewhere recently. I'll try to find it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shok_Tinoktin Posted December 5, 2004 Share Posted December 5, 2004 This is all I have ever seen about it, from the TFN Books FAQ Page: I know I'm probably alone on this one - but is Dash Rendar ever gonna be featured in anything other than Shadows of the Empire and his brief appearances in the sequel and Rebel Dawn? I assure you, you are not alone in your desire to see more from Dash. Unfortunately, no one at LucasBooks seems to feel that way. Some people believe he had an offhand cameo in the NJO, consisting of something along the lines of "a main with reddish-grey hair was standing in the distance", but unlike Bollux's similar appearance, no one official will say that it was definitely Dash. He did have a role in The Doomsday Ship, part of the Galaxy of Fear children's book series, though whether or not it's worth reading is debatable. And by the way - are you sure he was in Rebel Dawn? It's been a while, but I don't seem to remember him being in there anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benTantilles Posted December 6, 2004 Share Posted December 6, 2004 he was indeed in shadows of the empire: evolution, which happened some time after ROTJ. guri bumped into him at a bar at the end of the story. so yeah, he did survive... and the mission in x-wing alliance where dash helps secure the superfreighter over kothlis or bothawui actually occurs during SOTE, not after it. which is an interesting point to note, actually... weren't all the pilots supposed to have been bothans? how did ace azzameen and other human pilots off the liberty/defiance get to fly with luke then? still a fun mission, though. =D O, and by the way.... thanks for your kind words, astrotoy & master keralys, in my previous thread. benT, for creating this thread you should be dipped in honey and auctioned on a gay website..... good thing you guys didn't get around to actually doing that. =p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
