a Human vs a Nemodian

[Lord Revan]

Now, how about human vs gungan matchup?

have you got something against the human race. Jar-Jar is not a typical Gungan and even he is more durable and stronger then a typical human.

I never thought of it before. Where Jar-Jar's extraordinary strength and/or durability was depicted? In which scene? Guess I have to watch TPM again....

Burablity comes from the TPM and the strengh comes from Jar-Jar's jump into the Naboo lake (when he and the Jedi went to Otah Gunga).

[Lord Revan]

I suppose it depends on the Neimoidian and the Human really. The Viceroy certainly was a bit cowardly, and his crew in Ep1 was cowering... but there were also a pair of Jedi who were at the time cutting their way through a blastdoor to get them. I'd be scared too.

Plus their use of droids isn't cowardice really... I'd use droids too if I had the tech. They don't require years of training and are much easier to replace in the even of being exploded. We know that the boys on Geonosis were pumping out soldierboys for them by the millions... why bother with Neimoidian troops?

Let's not fall into the StarTrek trap of all Neimoidians being the same, huh?

EU does a good enough job of that.

Sidious stood motionless and silent on the transmission grid, his fingers steepled, his mind meditating on the eddies and currents of the Force. Those of lesser sensitivity were oblivious to it, but to him it was like an omnipresent mist, invisible but nonetheless tangible, that swirled and drifted constantly about him. No words, no descriptions could begin to convey what it was like; the only way to understand it was to experience it.

He had learned over long years of study and meditation how to interpret each and every vagary of its restless flow, no matter how slight. Even without that ability, however, he would have known that Nute Gunray was lying about Hath Monchar’s whereabouts. An old joke about the viceroy’s kind summed it up nicely:

How can you tell if a Neimoidian is lying?

His mouth is open.

not really that's said also about Hutts and Bothans and some other species as well, so it's more steroetype then actual character point.

Yeah, this whole "Neimoidians are cowards" is just another dumb brainbug to simplify other species. And it began with "These Federation types are cowards". Now to me, this just tells me that the business-people in particular were cowards. I didn´t equate the Trade Federation with a singular species. (Which of course was done with all the Separatist factions. Sigh.)

Now, the brainbug developed because authors equated the two and suddenly all Neimodians are lying cowards who hoard money (they have entire treasure-worlds).

[Gorefiend]

there are still duros, the same race, but very diffrent attitude.

in a sense Trade Federation=Nemodian is true (but this was caused by Darth Sidious to begin with (the B1 droid guards turned on the Board of directors when its Nemodian membar where not present due to reported problems with their ship))

And as Nemodians were/are only a small group of the Duros to begin with there's no reason not assume that their culture's only what we see in the PT.

Nemodians are a sub-species of the Duros?

[Gorefiend]

yes, have a read in the star wars database.

Though they call Neimoidia home, Neimoidians can trace their ancestry to the ancient Duros spacefaring culture. The two share a striking similarity in appearance, but their personalities could not be more distant. While the Duros are a gregarious, expressive and adventurous lot, the Neimiodians seal themselves away from others, preferring to let droids do their talking.

Following the failed invasion of Naboo, the Neimoidians began losing favor in the galaxy. Though the command hierarchy of the Trade Federation still belonged to them, many Neimoidians fled from public view. Those that needed to conduct business took to calling themselves Duros to avoid the stigma.

Burablity comes from the TPM

Which scene? I didn't quite recall. You mean the battle scene between Gungan Grand Army and Droid Army?

[NecronLord]

Another thing to remember. They're closely related to Duros. Duros are supposed to be the second most widely spread adventurous spacefaring race (after Corillieans) You don't get to be that by being poor fighters.

that indeed it's doutfull that a human could survived those hits.

[Bob the Gunslinger]

And they act like cowards.

No. They're clearly Asian. Thus they are honorable masters of the flying fist.

Neimoidian kung fu not here. *points to head*
Neimoidian kung fu here. *points to heart*

Dey have wirr of da warrior! Ha-ha!

Wait... Neimoidians are Asian... and Orcs are Asian... The Neimoidians are really Orcs! Only blond nancy-bois can stop them!

Have we ever seen a Neimoidian do anything physical? For all we know, they have the strength of Chimpanzees.

We haven't seen them do anything beyond activating the droids. We could try to use Duros as a baseline, but we've never seen them do anything either.
