Wookiepedia would do it, and we should all look to the standard of Wookiepedia when making Quake pages. "Sparky was a shambler that showed force potential and obtained a significant rank before dying in 0 Q2".

The prequels of course I still have memories of due to having watched them like crazy as a child, I think I preferred them to the OT due to the fast action. I have memories of being nearly unable to sit through A New Hope. The last decade that has of course switched. A New Hope is a classic, if still nothing spectacular. Empire Strikes Back is a masterpiece, no matter how many times I watch it (Battlefront played the Bespin music a lot, nostalgia like crazy). Return of the Jedi is still nearly forgettable beyond the basic facts and not that good.

Anyway, back on point. I liked the prequels a lot more than the original trilogy, so my memories of the prequels in Star Wars Galactic Battlegrounds and Battlefront are even stronger. I loved Geonosis, that was possibly my favorite map. Lots of vehicles, spread out battle posts, and giant republic vehicles to crush you. It was a lot like Hoth, but the flaw with Hoth is that the enemy posts are far away from each other. Geonosis has the spire, which would get captured nonstop, so I would hole up in there and fight as many as I could. Add the fast vehicles outside and it was a fun map.

I think I remember Rhen Var being a great map too, specifically the one with no vehicles. Command posts were tight and enemies could be around every corner there.

Battlefront 2, I think I spent a lot of time in Hunt Mode as well. I loved being a Wampa.

We shall see what happens, won't we? Slowly I creep to my goal, like the Death Star traveling to Yavin.

Funny you mention that, I remember the in-game cutscenes working for TR3, but there were no actual cutscenes. I assume the game didn't just start you in the jungle. Maybe it did. I actually don't know if there was a cutscene, but I can imagine there being one.

I must say, it is a nice feeling to see a nearly insignificant character and understand who he is. By this point I understand the motivation each bounty hunter had to find Han Solo. Bossk is a Transdosian, which of course means slavery of the wookies and hatred for Chewbacca in particular for his notability. Dengar was a speeder pilot like Han Solo, but got accidentally injured by Han and kicked out of the circuit. Boba Fett just likes the challenge of it due to other bounty hunters failing. 4-LOM and Zuckuss are a pair, Darth Vader felt a pair might do better due to the logic that the strength of Han Solo comes from his partnership with Chewbacca. IG-88 is the second deadliest bounty hunter in the galaxy, or he was until Boba Fett destroyed him en-route to delivering Han to Jabba.

Bourbon? Wouldn't they drink Jack Daniels?

It really depends. Some of it can be pretty interesting and flesh out the world. Some of it just is so minute that you would never care. The Rebel Alliance Sourcebook didn't have much on fleets, it was more the various undercover intelligence agencies. It was slow, but dragged a lot less than reading about COMPNR and the ISB.

In other news, I am now on some weird choose your own adventure book featuring the bounty hunter from Ord Mantell. Only problem is that it isn't the bounty hunter from the newspaper strip that was nigh forgettable besides showing the bounty hunter from Ord Mantell.
