Star Wars: ​The Ultimate Payoff to a 26-Year-Old Legends Joke

Star ⁤Wars has given the ultimate ending to a 26-year-old joke from Legends, which George Lucas always insisted was true. ‍The introduction of the Ewoks in Return of the Jedi was initially met with skepticism by adults, but they have become a beloved part of the franchise. The Ewoks’ adorable nature makes them perfect merchandise, and their influence can ‌be seen in‍ characters like Grogu from The Mandalorian.

LEGO Star Wars: ⁤Rebuild the Galaxy is a fun way to reimagine the Star Wars saga. The show​ brings a fresh perspective and plenty of laughs, with beloved characters turning into Sith Lords and Luke Skywalker having fun at Mos Eisley⁤ Marina. One​ of ⁤the most exciting aspects of the show is the introduction ‍of an Ewok ⁣bounty hunter, which‌ is the perfect ⁣payoff to one of the best Legends jokes ⁤of all⁢ time.

Ewok Starfighter Pilots Celebrate ‌Return to ​Legend

The Story of Lieutenant Ketch

Michael A. Stackpole and the late Aaron Allston were two of the most famous⁢ Star Wars ‌authors, known for their work on the Rogue Squadron and Wraith‍ Squadron series. ​Allston’s⁢ style was more humorous, making his books laugh-out-loud funny. He was especially known for his ⁣Ewok gags, which have become long-running jokes. One of the most notable Ewok characters is Lieutenant Ketch, who was introduced in⁢ the 1994 book X-Wing: Wraith Squadron.

“His name is⁤ Ketch, and he’s an Ewok.”

“no.”

“Oh, that’s right. He’s determined to fight. You have to hear him say, ‘Yub, ⁣yub.’ He uses that as his battle cry.”

“Wes,​ even assuming ⁣he was trained to the level of an Alliance fighter pilot, an Ewok wouldn’t be​ able to reach the controls of an X-wing.”

“He’s⁣ wearing arm and leg ‍extensions, and prosthetics made for him ‌by a sympathetic medical‌ droid. ⁣And ‌he wants to⁣ go, ⁤Commander.”

“Please tell​ me I’m joking.”

“Of course I’m joking.‌ Pilot candidate number one ⁤is a human female from Tatooine, Palin Sandskimmer.”

“I’ll take you, Janson.”

“Juve, Juve, Commander.”

The concept of Lieutenant Ketch is synonymous with ⁣the idea of ⁢an Ewok pilot. The​ character‍ was created by⁣ Wes Janson as a military ⁢disinformation ‍tactic to fool⁤ high-ranking ⁤Imperial forces. The joke has become a beloved part of Star Wars lore, and its influence can be seen in ⁤the LEGO⁤ Star ‍Wars series.

LEGO ⁢Star​ Wars is the Ultimate Payoff ‌for this Great‍ Legends Joke

“Yub, Yub, Commander”

The LEGO Star Wars series has brought the joke full circle, ⁣with the introduction of Ewok bounty hunters‍ who use ⁤the phrase “Yub,⁢ yub” as their battle cry. The scene​ is a deep cut to the original joke, and it’s a testament to the enduring power of Star‌ Wars lore.‌ The Ewok bounty hunters are a⁣ fun⁤ and exciting addition to ⁢the series, and they feel like the ultimate payoff to one​ of⁣ Aaron Allston’s most⁣ recurring gags.

Aaron ⁤Allston’s death in 2014⁣ was met with great sadness from Star‌ Wars fans who⁣ grew up loving his books. The Ewok bounty hunters in ⁤LEGO Star Wars: Rebuild the Galaxy⁢ feel like a tribute to his​ legacy, and they’re a reminder that nothing is truly lost in the Star Wars universe. Even a 26-year-old joke from a book that’s no longer in the canon can be brought back to life in a new and ⁢exciting way.
