troopers, i want you to look at this picture.
this is jek tono porkins, also simply known as jek, or porkins. his fat ass died in the battle of yavin.
now the reason i am bringing him up is, look at the history created for this character that evolves beyond his horribly short screen time.
http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Jek_Tono_Porkinsjust skim through that, hell i'll even give you some green arrows to save you the effort of clicking and scrolling
>known as "belly runner" for both his weight and ability to strafe like a motherfucker in ships>best friends with wes janson, who was wedge's gunner in the battle of hoth>champion t-16 skyhopper pilot on his homeworld of bestine iv>literally uses his weight to beat the piss out of some jackoff in a bar who rips on him for being fat>posthumously awarded the kenobi medallion and given a ceremonial hologram in the great temple on yavin 4and now, everything you have just read is fully non-canon and porkins' credibility is reduced to being a bumbling fat fuck in an x-wing that did jack shit except get killed, it's an insult to eu fans and to the actor, william hootkins (rip), as well, thanks to the master jew maus.
let us not forget the countless amounts of characters like porkins here who have suffered the massacre by the hands of the almighty rodent. post an eu character or film character who had their backstory filled upon by the eu here as a remembrance to all the great stories that now simply exist and have no status in the star wars universe.
