[QUOTE]Originally posted by Mark Nguyen: [QB] The obvious answer was that the whole Goa'uld / Jaffa / Unas thing had nothing to do with the original film. In the original film continuity, Devlin and Emmerich wanted Ra to be a unique alien being, the last of his kind, who took over the body of a pre-Egyptian boy and maintained it via his sarcophagus. He then created the whole Egyptian mythology with himself as its supreme God, and with a succession of regular humans portraying the other "lesser gods" through the millenia. In the film, his two chief henchmen were Horus and Anubis - in this case, two humans PORTRAYING the roles of Horus and Anubis (and Horus having a bunch of "Horus guards" as the movie's handful of stormtroopers). In the movie novel series, Jack O'Neil (one L) and Daniel Jackson team up to fight Hathor, another human among many who'd been portraying the role of the Goddess, when she claims Ra's technology for her own. The series tosses all of this out of coruse, giving us the Goa'uld System Lords and their armies of Jaffa. I think we're MEANT to reconcile the two by believing that Horus and Anubis actually WERE Jaffa, probably his first prime(s). The fact we didn't see any gold on their foreheads or an "X" on their bellies was... Uh... A trick of the light. As for why there were so few of them in the first place, Abydos was a conquered world held in fear for centuries and with no means to fight back. Ra wouldn't NEED a Ha'tak full of troops to simply pick up a mining shipment of naquadah; for that matter, he wouldn't need a Ha'tak either, and thus explains why he came in his fancier, open-air, and much smaller ship. This leaves us to wonder why he even went to Abydos in the first place. I guess that just like all Goa'uld, he just liked thousands of people worshipping him as a God, and Abydos was on the list of his "Great Big Galactic Divinity Worship Tour 1996". Mark [/QB][/QUOTE]
