Talk:Bombad General

Is this really it?Edit

I don't know if anyone else has heard it the way I did, but I could have swore that Boss Nass said combat general, not bombad general. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax ^{(Imperial Holovision)} 16:29, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

I heard "Bombad General" too. —Silly Dan _(talk) 16:37, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
- Is there any place where we could look at the script? Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax ^{(Imperial Holovision)} 16:38, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

So, wesa maken yousa Bombad General. [1] That version has PK-4 and EG-9's lines in the hangar-bay scene at the start, so I'm pretty sure it's the published shooting script, rather than simply a transcript. --McEwok 22:59, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

I just watched the scene, its bombad, subtitles and everything :P Jedi Dude 23:15, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
That's Gungan Basic for you. -- SFH 00:07, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
- And I absolutely hate Gungan Basic... Mesa want to be killin' all of the Gungans right about now. ;) Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax ^{(Imperial Holovision)} 01:07, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

Outranks CeelEdit

I see nothing to indicate that Jar Jar was higher ranked than Ceel. After all, Ceel is giving the orders in the novelisation, and is the one to call the retreat. Either

Bombad General is lower ranked than General (perhaps Lt. General or somesuch)
Ceel is ALSO a "Bombad General".
Ceel is giving orders to a superior, and Binks is too dumb to pull rank.

- Out of curiousity, why are we assuming "Bombad General" is a rank? Is this actually stated? For all we know Nass was just saying "We're gonna make you a big, bad General."--Jerry 22:22, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
  - To clarify, I realize that he SAID Bombad General, but bombad being a superlative adjective combined with the verb "are," we don't know if Nass was using Bombad as a rank, or as simply a modifier to "General."--Jerry 22:26, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

Is "Bombad" General it not just Gungan (i.e. patois) for Bombardier-General? Considering the artillery forces involved in the battle, and the fact that Bombardier is an rank confined to artillery forces (at least in the UK), I think this makes more sense than considering "bombad" as meaning something-but-we-don't-know-quite-what.
