Gearcrow Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 Ok, I know I'll probably be flamed by many for this, but my favorite Star Wars race is by far the Gungans. I love many others, Togruta, Zabrak, Nautolans, Rodians, but there's just something about the Gungans, their appearance, the way they speak, that really appeals to me. I've read many of the discussions on the forums about the current playable races, why they are all so very humanoid, and about SWTOR plans to add more races in future patches and development of the game. I understand the situation, but this will hopefully let the developers know that there are some of us (at least one: me ) that would love to see this awesome race brought into the game. I know often these pleas by players are gone unheard, but I would love nothing more than to be able to play a Gungan in this game. This link (http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Gungan) contains most known information about Gungans, mostly for other forum users benefit, and even shows a minor precedent of a Gungan Sith. I may be alone in this, but if I am not, please bump or acknowledge this if you also would like to see the Gungans brought into the game. Thx.

TitusVorenus Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 I'll be the first to say that while Jar Jar was obviously, well, Jar Jar, I never really minded the other Gungans, who seemed pretty "with it". I felt bad for Captain Tarpals having to deal with Jar Jar's nonsense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deejon_Loy Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 Lore-wise, Bioware absolutely CAN'T use Gunguns because Jar Jar Binks is the ONLY recorded Gungun to ever leave Naboo; in fact they are so unknown to the Galaxy at large that Obi-Wan Kenobi's first comment upon seeing one was "What's this?" (Qui-Gon equally didn't know who or what Jar Jar was, so he simply replied "a local"). The other races, Rodian, Mandalorians, Twi'leks etc are VERY commonplace throughout the galaxy, many of them aren't even born on their home planets.

Gearcrow Posted January 6, 2012 Author Share Posted January 6, 2012 That's not true. Although rare they have traveled, see the link I included above, it documents Gungans on other planets, and like I said, even one who became sith. I know they're uncommon, but nevertheless I think Bioware could swing it, seeing as how they don't seem averse to take at least small liberties.

BoredOfMMOS Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 Noif they put in gungans then its a punch in the face for us devoted KOTOR lore fans.But knowing bioware they will punch us in the face.but make it better with a amazing story for gungans.

BoredOfMMOS Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 Why is it a punch in the face for Kotor fans? There are no gungans in knights of the old republic much before there time of being known. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gearcrow Posted January 6, 2012 Author Share Posted January 6, 2012 But like I said the Gungans have been known for a long time. I guess I just love the gungans enough that I'm willing to suffer the lore stretching for the chance to play them. And like you said, there is an opportunity for amazing story there, how the gungan got picked up from a primitive race and brought into the throws of the galactic conflict.

Foxfirega Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 Well, it looks like Naboo (and by extension the Gungan civilization) was known of since about 3951BBY (current timeline is somewhere around 3600BBY, so almost 300 years) in the Republic. Still, I'd vastly prefer other races to get in before the Gungans. :U Togruta, Natolans, Nagai, and so on... Generally, races that had far better representation (as the Gungans didn't get that in the Republic until about 2BBY) in the Republic. Buuuut, I'm not diametrically opposed to it. Or, I am, but I lack good basis for argument and therefore can't, in good faith, disagree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ellizzarr Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 I hate gungans. I find them racially offensive stereotypes, and pointless child fluff for small minds fascinated by rainbows and shiny objects. They weren't the only reason phantom menace was awful, but they helped.
