[@lukegeekwalker2689]

Not canon

[@emergcon]

Pheromones ARE Hormones

[@OptimusMaximusNero]

*Fun fact:* In the Legends continuity, the Rodian named Greedo who Anakin fought in a deleted scene of Episode I is not the one from "A New Hope", but his father Greedo the Elder. This was established in order to fix the big inconsistency generated between said film and Greedo's story in Legends (created before the prequels) as, in said origin story, Greedo is the same age as Luke and he grew up in Rodia.

[@spencercarruth9706]

Hold up. So is the Greedo we see during the Clone Wars Greedo the Elder?

[@OptimusMaximusNero]

@@spencercarruth9706 Nope. That's actually the Greedo we all know, which creates another massive inconsistency in the Legends Lore. The Clone Wars show doesn't fit in Legends, so I recommend you to consider that show only as part of the New Canon or as a separate continuity

[@Luna-oo3fl]

O three!

[@alexissandoval1284]

@@OptimusMaximusNero Clone Wars has always taken precedence over older material. There is no inconsistency, whether in Disney or Legends terms.

"Han shot first" is a very important element of Han's character arc. From a lying, cowardly, boasting smuggler he becomes a rebel hero, general and a devoted friend. I can't believe that Lucas and Disney can't see the point, what that scene communicates to the viewer.

[@goodmind4940]

Lucas argued that because Han shoots first he can't marry Leia

[@miqvPL]

@@goodmind4940 I really can't see the reasoning behind it. It's a dangerous galaxy and he was held at gunpoint by a bounty hunter on a Hutt controlled planet. It's kill or be killed. Sure it was ruthless and cowardly, and his relaxed attitude suggests he did that many times before. But it doesn't make him irredeamable. Leia killed many stormtroopers by shooting them before they shot her, I guess she can't marry Han now, that ruthless bitch

[@valravnsshadow9422]

Han didn't shoot first (literally canon) but the event is still an important part of his character.

[@miqvPL]

@@valravnsshadow9422 nice usage of the word "literally". Han literally shot literally first in the original footage, there are literally comparisons, literally. Lucas added later the scene where we see the blaster shots, with Han's neck moving like a snake to avoid the shot (fucking bizzare). In the original we see Greedo holding a blaster getting fried and his head slamming the table, with Han holding a blaster aftr shooting Greedo 0,5 second after Han finished his sentence. It's extremely obvious who shot first in the original footage.

[@Awesoman66]

@@miqvPL Also in the video, it is said the canon novel put things back and said Han shot first. Even Disney seems to have thought that change was a mistake.

[@AdamTehranchiYT]

Fun Fact! Owls have asymmetric ear placement to help pinpoint the origin of sounds somewhat similar to Rodian's four ears.

In "From a Certain Point of View", Greedo was one of the most feared individuals in Mos Eisley, and most of the stories from the Mos Eisley Cantina's patrons hit the climax with Han's confrontation with Greedo (and the prior confrontation between Old Ben and Pondo Baba, who was actually supposed to be Greedo's backup when confronting Solo).

[@toomanyaccounts]

Don't you mean Greedo was feared from his point of view but everybody else considered him an idiot that was going to get himself killed

[@Janoha17]

@@toomanyaccountsNo, several of Mos Eisley's patrons were terrified of him, usually because they owed him a debt.

[@GreaterGrievobeast55]

I always had a fondness for the rodians moral diversity. Theres a lot of star wars aliens that are too easily groups into good guy bad guy sections when every species should be a mix of both. Rodians though? rodians have been shown of being upstanding folks or vile fiends as you’d expect a human more promptly than most.

[@GreaterGrievobeast55]

@Mackenzie Bauroth ah thats a shame, i know new canon is leaning to show more criminal rodians but a fair amount of the ones I’ve seen with actual characters seem to be upstanding citizens

[@luclin92]

its funny when i think about it, but yeah they are one of the more varied species, or its just that they stand out enough that you do remember whenever there is one in a scene. still one of my favourite alien designs from star wars

[@GreaterGrievobeast55]

@Mackenzie Bauroth well names I can’t recall, but i’m bad with those anyway. Clone wars had a Jedi master rodian died resisting giving cad cane access the a holocron, and another rodian padawan. Then there some from the high republic that were Just a farming family getting abused by a pawn of the hutts. That one in the haradan guild in kotor seemed reasonable as well.

[@alanmenold1105]

An overview of the Gand species would be pretty cool. Started listening to the Unabridged Rogue Squadron book and Ooryl has made me love the species
