Zabrak would commonly take their names from animals native to Iridonia, with many Zabrak families named after the Bukk. Many Zabrak males were named after the Blok, Lok, and zur. Many Zabrak females were known to take their names from the Triz.

According to Ashaa, the Mother Machine, the Zabraks were one of her "children," synthetic lifeforms she created under orders from the Infinite Empire, as part of experimentation the Rakata hoped would give them insight into the loss of their connection to the Force. [5] This would place the origins of the species sometime between 30,000 and 25,200 BBY.[6]

Zabraks, unlike Humans, could not grow eyelashes or facial hair – there were some exceptions, such as Maris Brood and Bao-Dur, who had eyebrows) and eye color (which have certain pigmentations that Humans lack, such as purple, yellow, red, and orange).

^^ This stuff. Why "known to take"? Why not "took"?

#1 hope about Boyega trooper is JJ has chosen to totally ignore prequel canon
surely its a goodie in a stormtrooper costume in a "Aren't you a little short to be a stormtrooper?" type scenario?

Canon is nothing; by the time of ANH, stormtroopers were either conscripts or enlisted, not clones.

Oh my god, those model photos. Those are amazing. The unfinished Death Star! The detailing on the speeder bikes!

Somehow it never occurred to me that the models had electronics in them, like they couldn't just easily add all the lights and whatnot later

I thought it was Moff until last week.

Moff is his title.

if Lucas had written a Grand Moff Mhuff into the storyline it wouldn't have surprised me though

Always thought it was weird that there was no Grand Moff Tarkin action figure (at least, not in 1977-83).

Like the Timothy Zahn books from upthread
I'd stay the hell away after anything published after 2000 unless it was by an author established to have Done Good Work for the canon
yeah well none of it's canon now so might as well burn the lot

The Rise of Darth Vader, the only one I've read, wasn't bad as far as slash fic goes.

Yeah, the Timothy Zahn books were good, and I enjoyed that Bounty Hunters collection. The Plagueis one was from a couple years ago, really put me off reading any more EU books.
