Banthas are domesticated. Jawas MIGHT be native to Tatooine, but humans and even Tuskens (breathing masks) probably aren't. Domestic animals will show up pretty much any place settlers bring them. Hence, long-haired banthas on a hot desert planet. Even the very first comics had Banthas on nearly every planet drawn.<br /><br /><br />2. "Wampa" is an amazingly short name for what must have been the 8-kazillionth species to get a name in the galaxy. At some point in galactic exploration, I'm sure every native, furry pack hunter/pack scavanger just gets called a "wolf" or "Correlian wolf." I'm sure humanoid Yetis aren't super common, but I'm also sure Hoth wouldn't be the first place to find them. <br /><br />I doubt Luke and General McQuarrie ever called the details into the authorities, but if they had, I imagine it went, "Yeah, we never even found a single plant - but we did find a vicious type of native Wampa like a hundred levels up the food chain. It was a little bigger than your typical Wampa, but it's teeth were smaller."<br /><br />Or whatever.Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16114235315359993117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8139262298737556599.post-17658183354829621732010-09-17T09:17:11.059-07:002010-09-17T09:17:11.059-07:00Why do they name units and such after animals that...Why do they name units and such after animals that may not been that well known in the Republic? Banthas are on Tatooine, which is not even part of the Republic...are they anywhere else?<br />I suppose the Clone troopers had a lot of classes one exo-zoology on Kamino.<br /><br />But then there's the ARC 170 Flaming Wampa ...oddly, the existence of wampas seems unknown 20 years later to the Rebels. BUT ITS AN ORIGINAL TRILOGY REFERENCE, SO YOU ARE SUPPOSE TO THINK IT'S KEWL.<br /><br />Aw, well, it's all just fluff anyway.Bravohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00178819827126323590noreply@blogger.com
