With last months Kong vs Godzilla and interest in big monster movies, I liked the idea of this. Toss in some lost civilization vibe and away you go. As always, if I missed something, if it doesn't make sense, if he could be done better, please post and let me know.
| Quote: | Ardana Shadex
Immense stone giants crafted by an ancient mysterious species of the Inner Rim planet Simocadia. Being technologically advanced, the species crafted stone giants and used their superior bulk to wage wars across the planet's surface. At some point, the species suddenly and mysteriously vanished, and the Ardana Shadex went underground and remained there ever since. The Mosciive species later rose to prominence on Simocadia, and their scholars grew obsessed with finding the ancient colossi.
During the Clone Wars one Ardana Shadex was found and excavated by the Prince Yojan, who planned to activate it and use it to destroy the agrocite mines which made Simocadia a point of interest for both the Republic and the Separatists. Using the glass key, the Prince activated the giant. However, the Jedi Master Mace Windu attempted to stop him and damaged the key, which made the giant uncontrollable. The two decided to work together to disable the enormous machine: the Jedi went to retrieve the key, while the Prince went inside the Ardana Shadex through its mouth and hit the dead switch. The resulting explosions destroyed the giant, killing the prince who was still inside it.
After the Battle of Simocadia, the Republic took possession of the Ardana Shadex to study the ancient technology. This angered the Mosciive, who resented the Republic for the battle's devastation and accused them of stealing a piece of Simocadia's history.

No it doesn't. See, this one has tribal tatoos and the Iron Giant doesn't. See, nothing alike at all.

This conversation reminds me of that scene in Band of Brothers just before they find the concentration camp:
| Quote: | (*During the patrol, just before they find the concentration camp, the group is talking while walking through a forest.*)
Perconte: Does this kind of remind you of Bastogne?
Luz (with a bemused look): Oh yeah, now that you mention it. Except, of course, there's no snow, we got warm grub in our bellies, and the trees aren't f*cking exploding from Kraut artillery, but yeah, Frank, other than that, it's a lot like Bastogne.
Perconte: Right?
Luz: Bull, smack him for me please?
(*Bull dope-slaps Perconte*)
Luz: Thank you! |
