Description
Here's Momaw Nadon ( a.k.a. Hammerhead (( a term which is considered by him to be derogatory )) from the original Star Wars ( a.k.a. " Star Wars, A New Hope " ). He seems to be wondering why passersby are giving strange looks to his new staff.Related content

You're very welcome. I gotta point people in your direction. Not only do you make the coolest Star Wars pics EVER, but there's more than enough to go around for everybody in your gallery.

Hammerhead was my second SW figure when I was a kid and he's still one of my all time favorites. You did a wonderful job Praggle as he looks so awesome. Ever think about doing him and a couple of other all time favorite aliens as they looked as the Kenner figures?

Thanks so much. I got him from one of those really expensive 3 packs ( well, they are now anyway ) back in ... '79 for Christmas with the Droid Factory. Vader was my second figure.
I've been thinking about doing the Kenner version. I did do both Snaggleteeth that way.

Out of all the strange, wonderful and bizarre creatures in the Mos Eisley Cantina, he's one of the ones who always stood out most to me when I was a kid. I guess his design struck me as being among the more 'alien' looking of everyone there.

He was one of the few I wasn't too scared to look at back in the day. I used to be scared of the cantina.

Honestly, I don't blame you. Some of them scared me too when I was little as well. I remember being disturbed by Dr. Cornelius Evazan as well, although I never could take Ponda Baba seriously.

It took me a while before I ever even saw Dr. Evazan because I was watching through my fingers. Walrus Man used to freak me out... I think mostly because of his voice. I used to worry about how I'd get the figure back then because the image on his package was horrifying to me.... and it was just an air-brush painting. I got him for Christmas from my grandparents though but, he came from one of those 3 packs so I never got the carded version.

Loved his story in "Tales from the Mos Eisley Cantina."
I enjoy all your tributes to these peripheral dudes.

Thanks so much.

Been a while for me, too. I should give it another go.

I personally find his staff to be charming.

I've heard Ithorians have two mouths on the sides of their necks. And Momaw Nadon had his own short story in the Legends. I also remember that Momaw Nadon had his own entry in the old Essential Guide to Characters. That book was my first essential guide to Star Wars. I gave away my old copy, and I sold my second copy, but I think I'll see if I can find it again.

Yeah, they do, and yeah, I have that book. He appeared in one of the early novels from the 90s I think. I can't remember which one though.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
That early novel might have been an anthology called Tales From the Mos Eisley Cantina.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, I think it was but, I think in like... " Truce at Bakura " or something he showed up again. I believe they went to Ithor or something like that.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I wouldn't know. I heard Ithor was destroyed by the Yuuzhan Vong during the Yuuzhan Vong War, which lasted four to five years. And the Ithorian herd ships became the arks that carried the remnants of the Ithorian people and their ecosystem.

By that point, I really lost interest with the Expanded Universe stuff. This would have been before all that. I have a few Yuuzhan Vong action figures though.

The New Jedi Order was good, but I thought there were too many books. I'm thinking that they could have slimmed it down a bit. The Legacy of the Force series was OK, but Fate of the Jedi was the one series I couldn't finish. After that, the only Star Wars Legends books I'll read are the Thrawn trilogy, Shadows of the Empire, and Young Jedi Knights. Of the new canon novels, I like Lost Stars by Claudia Gray. That's a young adult novel, but it's really cool. It's a love story between two childhood friends, but it's not as bad as Twilight. In fact, it's better. I heard many of the new canon Star Wars novels are OK, but I really don't want to touch them. Especially not the Aftermath trilogy. Those are mediocre from what I've heard.

I did notice recently that all the pre-Disney became " Legends " now, which isn't really a bad thing as it's nice that they're keeping them in print. The ones you've listed from that era are all pretty good. I re=read the Thrawn books a few years ago and have been wanting to read " Shadows " again.
Of the new canon stuff, I've only read " A New Dawn " and am working on " Bloodlines ". I've got " Catalyst" and " Lords of the Sith " ( I think that's the title ) waiting to be read.
The Aftermath stuff seems kinda iffy to me. They may have rushed those but I still may look into them.

I know what you mean. As much as I'd like to see more Star Wars films, I don't think that the old Expanded Universe should be overlooked, much less discarded. I mean, there are Expanded Universe elements that made it into the new canon, such as the Nightsisters, Thrawn, Han and Leia's son Ben Solo (whose name is like Ben Skywalker, but he took a similar path dark side path as Jacen Solo), to name a few. I thought the Aftermath trilogy was a good idea but lousy execution. I noticed the writing style is very present-tense and not past-tense. I'm used to novels that do past tense and not present tense. As for my collection, I have an anniversary edition of Heir to the Empire, plus the following two books in hardcover (those are rare!), plus a signed hardcover of Shadows of the Empire. The Young Jedi Knights books (there are 14 of them) are hard to find, but I found them all. I really hope they re-release them in a few anthologies. They did release the first six novels of the Young Jedi Knights series as two omnibus editions, but I don't think those sold very well. It would probably explain why they went out of print so quickly. And those are rare too.

That's why I pick & choose what I call canon and the stuff that seems weird or odd, I just say is misinterpreted or even from an alternate universe depending on how geeky I want to be.
Actually, wasn't Ben Skywalker Luke & Mara Jade's son?
Are the Aftermath books geared towards " young adults "? I always feel they should avoid that sort of thing.
I think I have all of the Young Jedi Nights books. I know I read the first series but never got around to the rest of them. They're all by Kevin J. Anderson right? I'm gonna have to check those now. I'm thinking that it might have been one of those books where Momaw Nadon appeared on Ithor.
I have a bunch of Rogue Squadron books but never got around to reading them cuz they just came out too fast for me and then I lost interest.

Ben Skywalker was Luke and Mara's son, but they used his given name for Kylo Ren's real name. And since Jacen Solo, at one point, went to the dark side, so did Ben Solo. The Aftermath books are adult novels, but Lost Stars is a good book for a young adult title. Kevin J. Anderson and his wife, Rebecca Moesta (pronounced "mess-tah") wrote the Young Jedi Knights books. Of the comic books I like the Thrawn trilogy, Knights of the Old Republic, and X-wing Rogue Squadron. I have a hardcover omnibus of the Thrawn trilogy comics, and two Marvel anthologies of Knights of the Old Republic, plus a Marvel anthology of X-wing Rogue Squadron comics. The final Rogue Squadron comics will come out in December of this year, and I hope that they do the final stories of the Knights of the Old Republic series in The Old Republic, Volume 3. Of the video games, I enjoyed the Dark Forces/Jedi Knight series (with Kyle Katarn) and the Knights of the Old Republic (the first one). I really hope that after The New Republic, Volume Three, that they re-release the Thrawn trilogy as a Marvel anthology. I mean, Marvel now holds the Star Wars comics.

Yeah, seems all their kids went dark except Jaina, of whom they're supposed to make a Black Series figure of.
I have piles of the comics. I lost track with the Dark Horse stuff but, the other year, I finally completed the vintage Marvel series & read them all. They're really fun and shows the beginnings of how the fan base began with the letters pages & stuff.
I never got into the KOTOR stuff. I may have some comics from it though. I might have some figures from that era too but I'm not sure.

Right. Still, I enjoyed most of it.
