 Posted: Fri Jan 30, 2015 3:05 am Post subject: Species: Lasat (canon version from Star Wars Rebels) |
 |
|
Since Star Wars Rebels is now canon I have looked at the Lasat and using the character Zeb for my species breakdown.
Under Legends the Lasat's main claim to fame in the SWU is they are often confused with wookiees. I have no idea why because they are significantly shorter, have short hair, not long and have a tail.
Things I would point out:
- Lasat are much shorter than wookiees (+21" on average)
- Lasat's are short haired and have stripes while Wookiees have long hair.
- In Legends they have a tail, but in Canon they do not.
- Zeb grabs an Imperial pilot with his feet and lifts him up.
- Was able to jump and spider-walk on the outside of a TIE fighter
- Zeb was able to knock out Stormtroopers in one blow.

Lastat
The Lasat were a sentient species that existed in the galaxy during the reign of the Galactic Empire. Within the species, those with fighting skills were highly revered, often being a part of the Lasan Honor Guard. Bo-rifles were a unique weapon, used exclusively by the Lasan Honor Guard.
During its reign, the Galactic Empire devastated the Lasat homeworld of Lasan, killing nearly all members of the species. Since then, the Lasat were rarely seen in the galaxy.
Personality:
Physical Description: Lasat are comparable in height with humans. They have wide shoulders and thick limbs. The body is covered with short, gray to dark brown fur and stripes of purple. Eyes are light green with black pupils. Facial hair is common for both males and females and grows a dark purple.

Story Arc:
-- Lasat are rarely seen throughout the galaxy since the Imperial bombardment and near eradication of the species in retaliation for not submitting to Imperial dominance.
-- In their conquest of the Lasat, T-7 ion disruptors were used extensively by the Galactic Empire. This lead to a strong hatred and distrust of such weapons by Lasat.

AB-75 Bo-Rifle
The AB-75 Bo-Rifle is a unique weapon. It could be used as both a blaster rifle and a staff. The weapon was used exclusively by the Lasan Honor Guard, and was an important part of Lasat culture. Following the rise of the Galactic Empire, the weapon became extremely uncommon. It was manufactured by the Lasan-Malamut Firearms Corporation, and was issued to the Lasan Honor Guard on the planet Lasan.
The weapon served not only as a staff, but as a rifle as well. Additionally, the weapon could be collapsed into a compact design whenever need be.

I like it. The only thing I would change would be to add Blaster as a skill for the Bo-Rifle for ranged attacks.

Thanks for the suggestion. I had missed it. Been a long day, creatively mind is going 1,000 MPH but the body is not keeping up.

I'm in the same boat. I should be in bed, but all I can do is sit here and post stats from my oldies-but-goodies hardcopy files...

I think this is an inside joke since the design of the lasat was based off an old Mcquarrie concept drawing of Chewbacca. |

Yeah, zeb is based visually on Mcquarries initial concept art for chewie, just like choppet is for r2...
The art has been around forever, I've even used for another race...

Cool, Keith. Thanks for sharing that species.

| Wookieepedia wrote: | | Occasionally, ignorant citizens of the galaxy mistook exceptionally tall or bulky Lasat for Wookiees, due to their (typically) light-brown fur, which sometimes resembled Wookiee fur on males of the species (Lasat females had much shorter hair). In fact, the Lasat were easily distinguishable by their small nose and bald face, hands and tail. |
Yes, it was just to reference the out-of-universe origin of Lasat coming out of the development of Wookiees. And the "pre-Wookiee" images generally don't have tails. The WEG character of Puggle Trodd (from Tatooine Manhunt) comes out of a smaller, alternate version of the species which had tails. Puggles Trodd originally didn't have a species designated, but after the game later added Lasat, Puggles Trodd was retroactively established to be a Lasat, despite being only 1 meter tall (even shorter than the minimum height in the range). It seems to me like WEG just tried to shoehorn both versions of the species into one alien.
In light of the new canon from Rebels, I'd be inclined to establish two related species of Lasat for my game, and assign the WEG material to the Puggles Trodd version with the tail (adjusting the stats to reflect being a shorter species), while the Zeb version is the taller species without tails.
