Wat Tambor fans rejoice!

post #1 of 91
Thread Starter 
Our favorite goofy cyborg is not to be ignored in the coming weeks. As you know, he does have a small scene in EPISODE III (where we learn his fate first-hand). But that's not all. He will be scene in the upcoming Volume II of the CLONE WARS cartoon:



And, he is featured as one of the stories in the upcoming Graphic Novel STAR WARS: VISIONARIES:

Wat Tambor and the Quest for the Sacred Eye of the Albino Cyclops by Mike Murnane
In this offbeat tale, the Techno Union foreman Wat Tambor embarks in a transcendental quest to discover a sacred artifact and to uncover his fate. Remember, "A heart in the eye is where compassion may lie..."


Kevin Matchstick heaven.

Well, at least that's not the title of the movie.

Besides... a title like that isn't exactly subtle in its intent to portray offbeat and goofy. That's a big part of the appeal of this character to begin with.

My eyes are failing to decode the data in that Clone Wars picture. But the graphic novel sounds cool.

Anyone know if Wat Tambor takes out some clones/jedi in the new season of Clones Wars? Maybe with the more prominent role in CW and the comic we can truly discover Wat Lies Beneath.

Oh, Wat cut-ups you all are.
post #18 of 91
I kid you all not, but I work with a guy named Watts and my mother's college freshman roommate has a son named Watt.

Jeffery Tambor should not be in the same sentence as Wat.
Mr. Tambor, is definately Wat Women Want.

I'm getting the same vibe I get every year...People's Sexiest Man Alive anyone?

Only on Chud and maybe a few geek simpson writers would something like this show up. I love it.

Wat should have his own remix, where it looks like the whole time hes twisting his nipples to adjust the music.

You should all be ashamed of yourselves. Poor Lobot. A classic third-tier character all but forsaken by the fanboys for a "prequel" third-tier character. Sad.

Wat Tambor is 3rd Tier to no one... and is no peer to the inferior Lobot.

I can't believe you of all people just said that. Truly there is a change in the Star Wars fan landscape.

I didn't realize the hatred for Lobot ran this deep. I was going to say 'Nien Nunb' but I thought that Lobot might garner more support. Holy shit, was I wrong.

FROM THE MOVIES:

A consummate industrialist, Wat Tambor was the Foreman of the Techno Union, a galactic institution concerned with technological innovation. Tambor was eager to escape from the choking bureaucracy of the Republic Senate, and readily joined the Confederacy of Independent Systems. He not only committed his army of battle droids to the cause, but also hosted the meeting of the Separatists minds at one of the Techno Union's droid foundries on Geonosis.

FROM THE EXPANDED UNIVERSE:

As befitting a technocrat, Wat Tambor is entirely encased in machinery and is even reliant on technology to speak. His deep, resonant voice is strangely mechanical, modulated by a set of dials built into his torso.
Though he spent most of his time on the harsh industrial world of Metalorn, Wat Tambor hails from Skako. He is one of the few Skakoans to venture into the galaxy, since the native atmospheric pressure of that world is so different than that of most. Were it not for Tambor's full-body environment suit, he would explosively decompress in standard atmospheres.
Tambor oversaw a number of advanced technology plants scattered throughout the galaxy, and many major corporations, including Baktoid Armor Workshop, Haor Chall Engineering, Republic Sienar Systems, and Kuat Systems Engineering were signatory members of the Techno Union.

This dude is the Jimmy Hoffa of the Star Wars Universe! How can you compare Jimmy Hoffa to a couple of Lando Calrissian’s but boys (one of them being a robotic but boy, at that)?
post #42 of 91
Okay, alright. I'm backing down. Wat Tambor is the greatest Star Wars character EVAR! Happy now?



But 4-Lom could kick his ass.

This thread is a riot. WAT's riot.

Ho ho ho.

"Were it not for Tambor's full-body environment suit, he would explosively decompress in standard atmospheres"

If he doesnt go down like that in EpIII I wont be happy.


Once I heard he is full of methane gas in there. Bastard must stink in there.

Still, I love our friendly AM Radio.

And I second the radio idea. I would definately want Wat waking me up in the morning.

"The Techno Union will....vvvvvvwwwwzzzzzvvvwwww.....send our droid army to wake...vvvvvwwwwzzzz...your ass up."

For a Wat Tambor readio you can use his dials for tuning and just have a switch on his plate for FM/AM, it's such a great idea, i'm amazed Lucasfilm hasn't put one out yet. Considering the variety of stuff they put out.
