You build a DNA changing machine and you can pick one alien species from the SW galaxy to become.

I say Falleen only for the pheromones, and if not for that I'd go Noghri for the mad skills.

Saiyin(j/k)

I'd probably stick with old fasion geneticly enchanced human

Falleen.
Time to pick up alot of chicks.
Plus, I live for hundreds of years.

Hmmm.... let's see of the advantages AND disadvantages of various species:

Clawdite
Pros: Shapeshifting!
Cons: Ugly when not shapeshifted.

Geonosian:
Pros: Ability to fly.
Cons: Forced to live in caste system.

Hutt:
Pros: Enormous body mass.
Cons: Very little mobility, size can be cumbersome, high food requirement, occasional gender-changes can be confusing.

Kaminoan:
Pros: Infrared vision, mohawk, can refer to SGAs as midgets, good chances in the modelling industry...
Cons: Extremely impractical anatomy. (No musculature, only 3 fingers and the final crowning disability - a neck as long as a half metre... which is inflexible)

Mon Calamari
Pros: Ability to live in water, better vision than humans.
Cons: Jokes about catfish.

Neimoidian:
Pros: Scottish dialect, can disguise as Duros.
Cons: Scottish dialect often mistaken for Japanese dialect.

Quarren:
Pros: Looking like Cthulhu.
Cons: Looking like Cthulhu.

Twi'lek:
Pros: Weird skin colour, Lekku head-tails!!
Cons: Often badly treated as slaves.

Wookiee:
Pros: Massive strength and the ability to wear fur without being accosted by the PETA.
Cons: Unable to communicate other way than growling. (Now, this wouldn't be a disad if I was a metal vocalist, but...)

Yuuzhan Vong:
Pros: Little resistance to pain, close resemblance to humanity.
Cons: Resemblance to humans quickly eroded by tattoos and plastic surgery.

Zabrak:
Pros: Natural horns.
Cons: Can be mistaken for The Devil himself.


I'll say Clawdite. That way, I'd be able to shapeshift into whatever species I felt like. Or, despite the fact that they don't belong in Star Wars, the Yuuzhan Vong. But if I went Kaminoan, I could just genetically engineer a new body for me combining the best abilities of all species, and transfer my soul over in it.

Raël would be proud!

Mr Bean, I thought you were against stupidity, why would you pick one of the dumbest races in all of fiction.

From Star Wars, Noghri given growth enhancements and implanted armor, lightsabers, and Force augmentation like Lord Nyax.

From elsewhere, fully mature Child of the Lens.

Hey not all of them were bilthering idiots, its just that impratical "way of the warrior style code they have"


But you have to admit being able to sneeze and destroy buildings is rather vaulbe

I'm sorry, the only one I can't describe as a blithering idiot is Mirai Trunks, all the reat of them truly earned that title at one point or another. Except for Turles, he was only in the one movie, but he wasn't dumb. Darn, I guess it might not be as universal as I thought.

Don't forget Goku's Dad and hmm Vegeta was not.. THAT dumb, Nappa was not all that idioic either

Shi'ido can do it WAY better. They can become literally any organism in the galaxy, from Rancor to racing blob, and the simulation is perfect. They also live for hundreds of years. Their basic form is a light-skinned humanoid.

Have to dispute that, Nappa was pretty darned dim. Vegeta's main difficulties are his desire for challenging fights(understandable), and his lack of creativity on the training side(less understandable). The Dragonballs were sitting their doing nothing for how many bloody years while he could have used them to wish for a gravity room with no upper limit? Bardock was pretty cool though.

And, as a side note, we have completely hijacked this thread from its intended purpose. "Avast, ye scurvy Pure Wars dogs, prepare to be boarded!"

The ultimate shapeshifter must be "The Thing" too bad that it don't like fire...

(The pirates led by consequences board Pure Star Wars.)
(Joe blasts consequences with E-11.)
(The rest of the pirates look at the E-11, back at their swords, throw them down, and run away.)

i kinda like the Bothans, i'm a very political person and the Bothans are the political race in SW.

How about the Chiss? If you can get past the blue skin and red eyes deal, that wouldn't be too bad. I wouldn't mind having an aptitude for military genious, either.

well. theyre technicaly still humans i guess, but the telepathic guys from the time machine, the light skin, fairly well built, i though that guy was pretty cool

I'd be a shi'ido. They are really cool.

Who were the guys that the Imps tried to take over and failed because they got caught up in one of the parties that are always being held on the planet? I'd like to be them. I believe it began with a "Z."

That, or the Noghri. Jedi can't sense me, and I can sneak up on pretty much anything.

I'd probably have to be Falleen....Xizor was damn cool....and one of my other roleplaying personas Tyrbalt was a kick ass Falleen.

A Shadow think about it .you look like a bug and can appear out of nowhere at will almost

Problems: Clawdites are only capable of mimicking humanoid shapes, and are limited to only a few of them without medical assistance. (Ep2VD)
If you genetically change yourself into a Kaminoan you will not magically get the knowledge on how to clone people, nor the equipment. the same would extend to the Noghiri's martial arts prowess.
However, I'd still choose Clawdites.

Oh.... crap! Gotta go with a shapeshifter, then.

Ewok.

Just because.

You rebel scum have no self-respect. I'm happy as a human, thank you very much!

Zeltros. The race is the Zeltronians.

A Rancor with opposable thumbs.
