    Cloud City had Billy Dee Williams and lots of other diverse people. And yeah, I was talking about the white Andorians from Enterprise. The expansion of some of the alien races on Enterprise was pretty well handled.

      On a more serious bent, I know Yoda's species has been one of those

      Obviously, his "old" attributes really helped contribute to his
      image as a prototypical "old, wizened master" as he was introed in ESB.

      I'm thinking that if they showed Yoda as a younger creature,
      he'd be basically the same creature but less old---not too human
      in stature, I mean.

      Interestingly, in a past SW project rumor about possible TV show projects
      ---Yoda's early adventures were brought up.

      Sounds like another cool idea if you ask me...another example of
      how many powerful icons the SWU holds.

        Are all the humans the same on Mongo? Are they all WASPs? All White? I have no idea. If it is Flash Gordon send me a link to a site with the races of Mongo if you know one.

        Thanks.
        Hmm...dont know of a link per se, but I do know the humans on Mongo werent all WASP. They pretty much ran the full spectrum....including green skin in some versions...to try disguise the fact that Ming the Merciless was originally meant to appear Oriental, and that wouldnt be politically correct to have an Oriental villian. Based on what I've seen of the classic strip, the movies, cartoons, and serials, the Bird men were mostly, if not entirely, white. Probably because they are loosely based on the vikings.The frigians were also mainly white, but they were also based on Scandinavian's.
        Prince Barin and his people were originally all white folk, but that changed over the years. The last newspaper strip run in the nineties showed them pretty diverse.
        Lion men....Dont recall ever seeing them portrayed as anything but Lion Men. Might have been Puma men or Jaguar Men, but nothing springs to mind?

          Cool. I didn't know much about Flash Gordon except that it was old, famous and had a really bad movie in the 80s.

          I will look more into it. That link is very interesting. Thanks!

            Flash is another great character from bygone days that goes relatively unappreciated these days. I learned a lot about the character I never knew doing research for a Flash toy line that I worked on with M&C about 6 or 7 years ago.

              Who is M&C? What do you do for a living, or what did you do when you were working on the M&C thing?

              PM me if you prefer, even if you want to tell me you don't want to tell me.


              Thanks.

              P.S. It occurs to me that Flash needs better or wider treatment. I know he has a show on SciFi but I'm guessing it is cheesey. I will record a couple and try to watch them.

                Thundercats had tons of different races for their characters. I can't even think of multiples of the same race. Except for a pair of Lion twins that showed up later and maybe a female tiger...

                    I liked the Thundercats. That was a pretty cool cartoon.

                    But still, over all of Trek my best example of my question is that Spock, Sarek and Stonn were "white-ish" but Tuvok was black. That is the example I'm thinking of regarding variation within a race.

                    But Tim Russ's comment that all Vulcans should be Black is what got me started thinking that most aliens are homogenous. Like Spock, Sarek and Ston for example. All "European" anyway if that makes sense.

                      10,000 posts!?!

                      Megotu, you have over 10,000 posts?!? Is that the record? I'm not sure I've seen a count that high. Not that I'm paying close attention, but since I broke 300 I have been noticing what some of the post counts are on some of the posters.

                      Wow. Nice to meet you.

                          That sounds like what I was thinking. But Star Wars Episode 1?
                          Ugh.


                          I'm with you on that one.
