Has anyone picked up the Wedge/Borsk comic pack? If you haven't, be forewarned. It's not so good.
Wedge has the proportions of a orangutan. His arms are too long and his legs too short and bent into an awkward pose. He can't even stand up straight. What happened? How did this make it past Quality Assurance? Sheesh.
Borsk on the other hand, our very first Bothan.... the species that stole the plans for the second Death Star... looks about as fearsome as well, apparently a Bothan. Gigantic head. And his hiked-up tunic looks odd unless he's posed in a running position.
Total C- on this comic pack. I was really looking forward to it but it's just not right.
So, this got me to thinking about Mon Mothma's line about "many Bothans died bringing us this information blah blah blah..." As it turns out the Bothans were rather clumsy and prone to fatal accidents and that this was an inside joke and the entire Rebel briefing erupted into laughter.
I understand now why the Bothans didn't appear in the film.
