Am I the only one who saw this and thought it was the dev team's best idea in like forever? ;)
(of course, we know that SE likes to reference Star Wars, usually by including characters named Biggs and Wedge)

LOL I said the same thing to my friend. I said also that if they add a yellowish orange one then we are gonna have to nickname it "Pizza the Hut"

Who's to say jabba doesn't want to look pretty now and then? Maybe he thinks of himself as a princess.

Ingame, it'll probably be a Flan Princess or Queen. Or a Flan Drag Queen... I suspect Charm will be a key ability on that mob :D -

All I know is that I hope it drops pink tails.

Nope. Didn't think about Jabba for even a second. That might be because because I've played enough FF to immediately recognize it as the Flan Princess, notoriously from FFIV (but it's appeared in remakes of other games, too).

(it even happens in nature, check out mice and marsupial mice, totally different unrelated animals that look nearly identical)Quote:

10-25-2011, 05:14 AMMirageNope, are they? I never really got into starwars lore. I just watched the movies and that's about it.Quote:
