Talk:Bantha

Pairing
Am I really to believe that if a Bantha dies, its Tusken Raider owner must walk off into the desert, there to die? -Ikkyu2 06:10, 6 December 2005 (UTC)


 * Yes. --Maru (talk) Contribs 17:38, 6 December 2005 (UTC)


 * Well, all right then. -Ikkyu2 15:40, 17 December 2005 (UTC)

What do they use in the movies?
Does anyone know what they used as for a bantha in the movie? Dr. Moniker 00:39, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

Zitidar?
What sort of comparison is that? I Googled for zitidar to find out what the heck it is, and there are very few refernces. Best I can find out, it's some kind of whale? It seems to be from some scifi universe called Barsoom. If it were from Star Wars, fine, but it's not. Can someone replace that with a more useful reference? Or maybe better, write an article about it so it can be linked from this one. JoelC 20:10, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

Bantha Poodo
If poodo is linked to the article about feces, is it right to translate it to "fodder"? --markild 15:15, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
 * This might actually be worth some discussion in the article if it can be properly sourced. In Return of the Jedi, Jabba says someone will be "Bantha poodoo," which is translated in the subtitles as "Bantha fodder." So yes, the translation is official. It shouldn't be linked to Feces, but this is an error that the franchise itself has encouraged. Probably because "poodoo" sounds like something a child would call feces, there are multiple instances of a Star Wars character saying something that smells bad smells like "bantha poodoo." I believe this happens in one of the new trilogy films; it definitely happens in Knights of the Old Republic. KOTOR explains this somewhat: it has an item called Bantha Fodder, whose description explains that the banthas' food is some sort of pungent mix of fungi or something. So bantha food smells bad. But presumably "poodoo" is "fodder" in Hutteese. So if characters speaking in "Common" (English) are using the Hutteese phrase, perhaps it's one that has entered common, similar to how an English speaker might say "je ne sais quois." Or more likely the writers wanted to make some jokes and didn't think about the issue this much. --BDD (talk) 19:44, 3 March 2014 (UTC)

BSH
For all you Bantha lovers out there we have a question. How long does it take a baby bantha to mature? If any one has a plauseable answer for this please tell us. -Thank you BSH — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bantha child (talk • contribs) 17:53, 3 November 2006

sectionize intro
I added the colloquial bantha section, and added the wild bantha chase term. I think since this article is starting to expand, the introduction should be further split into sections. Teimu.tm (talk) 21:47, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

CGI Bantha in 1977?
>>>Lucas retained the original shots of the elephant, rather than replacing them with CGI, for the 1977 Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope.[6]

Come on, where does such info comes from. How can we believe that in 1977, Lucas was ready to make a bantha using CGI. this article should say that Lucas, during the making of the Special Edition wondered if if could use a CGI version of the Bantha  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Aldejerph (talk • contribs) 16:46, 26 June 2010 (UTC)

^^^ What he said. This sentence makes no sense whatsoever as-is. Surely the date was intended to be "1997" instead? 69.208.77.112 (talk) 20:48, 20 July 2010 (UTC)


 * Checking the edit history of the page shows this theory to be correct; I've fixed it and clarified the wording so it hopefully won't happen again. 69.208.77.112 (talk) 20:51, 20 July 2010 (UTC)
