I spent a weekend in London a couple of months ago and of course visited the Barbican Centre to watch the delicious "Art Of Star Wars"-exhibition. My dad was smart enough to bring his digital camera, so I got eight floppies filled with nice 1280x960 pics of it.

Now, here's the thing, when I came to the "Jabba The Hut"-corner I saw a little glass-frame, containing four little dolls representing authentic, discarded Jabba-interpretations.

Here's on of them:

This is why it didn't go to the Star Wars Forum.

By God, man, you're fast!
Pretty nifty, I thought. Perhaps shows the more intimate relationship between ILM and Star Trek.

Well, maybe. If Morn basted his head in a vat of sulfuric acid overnight and folded himself into a thin batter to be baked at 350 degrees for 45 minutes.

Perhaps this is why Morn doesn't talk on screen. He only speaks Hutt, and they didn't want to use subtitles... :-)

Well I never thought about it, but Morn's voice does resemble Jabba's basso rumble.
Could anyone with connections ask the creators how Morn got his looks and voice? It's bound to be interesting...

Morn's voice? He never talked!

He moaned and grunted now and then, and it sounded very "Arrr-Haarrr", like when Quark told him a joke.

Nim, Morn NEVER spoke, he never uttered a word, or a gutteral sound...

Not when he was telling a joke in Emmisary
Not when Odo shooed him off the Promenade
Not when at Dax's party
Not even when he was drinking

Morn Never spoke a word
But that didn't stop him being a chatterbox.

OK, so it wasn't meant to resemble Dr. Suess... so well eh... hah...

blah.

Pleh.

Snuh.

Homer: Oh, yeah. [pokes his head out the window] So long, Stinktown!

Posted by Nim (Member # 205) on :

Yes he did, he laughed at a joke once, and it sounded like "aaaarr". Guys, back me up here!

Did anyone see what the joke was supposed to be in 'Emmisary'?

I think that "The Funniest Joke In The Universe" was severely fucked up by the universal translator - the punchline was "Greenpeace", IIRC.

At that point, McDonald fired his gun three times in the air to emphasize his point. The crowd, estimated at 350,000, loudly cheered the new candidate.
