Talk:Varactyl

From Wookieepedia, the Star Wars wiki.

May I suggest we use a picture from ROTS rather than Galaxies to illustrate this article? Gothymog 23:25, 5 Nov 2005 (UTC)

Done. Cato Neimoidia 23:48, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

Where is the pencil coloured pic from?

Also, possibly, a mention about the honking sound? GrandAdmiralParck 05:31, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

why are they considered non sentient? boga seemed sentient enough. Ugluk 23:28, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

"However, Boga was killed by sacrificially absorbing an AT-TE's main cannon blast to protect Obi-Wan Kenobi when Commander Cody executed Order 66." I disagree. After watching it again, I believe this is inaccurate on two points: First, the AT-TE cannon shot hit the rocks near them, not striking either directly. Second, they both plunged into the pool, with only Kenobi shown emerging; the fate of Boga is presumed but not directly divulged. For all we know, it lived.--Iampariah 07:09, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Clarification regarding varactyl reproduction

I'd like to see one piece of information clarified: how does one egg lead to a population of dozens? – Aidje _talk 21:18, 24 November 2006 (UTC) ==males==we only have pics of the blue females, ala Boga. Can someone get the VD pic of the orange males?!68.105.249.189 10:04, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

• Maybe Varactyls don't need a male to reproduce? How else would there be dozens?

• • We could use that image of the male. I would get it if my scanner worked--Lord Oblivion^{Sith holocron} 02:29, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Confirmation of Kashyyyk battle presence?

The RotS page says "In the two shots where the Wookiees roar just before their battle, the varactyl's (the lizard-mount used by Obi-Wan elsewhere in the film) bark can be heard." Anyone hear this? Cutch 02:06, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

I may have.I'm not for sure.Sith-venator 15:35, 23 November 2008 (UTC)

• I've definitely heard the sound, but it could equally well be the call of a bolotaur. Since the bolotaur looks like a descendant of a varactyl, it may have the same callJustinGann 20:32, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

I went back and watched it on Spike and yes i do hear vartactyls.Also bolataurs sounds more like dinosaurs from black and white movies from the 30s.So yes they may have been scared or responding to the wookies roar,I dont know but i know i heard one.Sith-venator 02:56, 27 November 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Taris and Tatooine?

They are on Tatooine and Taris?

• Um, yeah... Tarisian Varactles are most likely in captivity.--Lord Oblivion^{Sith holocron} 13:57, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Semi-sentient designation

What is the source for that? NEGAS says nonsentient.--Lord Oblivion^{Sith holocron} 21:13, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Redundant

reptilian lizard-like this is a needless recapitulation in the description of these creatures. quadrupedal saurian is more more accurate and avoids needless restatement. Sochwa 19:36, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

Not all reptiles are lizard like ((see:snakes))((see:pterosaurs)), but this animal is definitely not reptilian ((see:feathers)). Feathered, lizard-like should suffice for this creature. 72.235.131.7 10:50, 28 October 2008 (UTC)

[edit] males

We have three pics of the blue females, but we need at least one pic of the orange male from VDJustinGann 09:04, 27 November 2008 (UTC)
