Okay, so today I messed around with “Prince Xizor,” yeah, that dude from Star Wars. I’d heard of him, kinda knew he was a big deal in that Shadows of the Empire thing, but never really dug in. So, I decided to change that.
First, I hit up the internet, you know, just to get a general idea. Found out he’s this super powerful criminal underworld boss, a Falleen, which, apparently, means he’s a reptile-looking guy with pheromones he can use to, like, influence people. Creepy, right?
Then, I dove into some of the older Star Wars stuff. I found this Shadows of the Empire book. It was interesting to get all detail about xizor.
Next, I tried to find some pictures, artwork, anything to really get a feel for the character. There’s some pretty cool stuff out there, some of it making him look really menacing, others…well, let’s just say the 90s had a certain style. I definitely spent a good chunk of time just browsing through images, imagining what it would be like to have this guy as your enemy.
I compared this guy to a few other bad guys, you know, like, how does he stack up against Darth Vader or the Emperor? Turns out, he’s pretty darn powerful, with a lot of resources and influence. He’s not Force-sensitive, but he makes up for it with brains and ruthlessness.
It was cool that this character has a very detailed background story, which made me more curious about him.
Finally, I tried to write my opnion about this guy on a post, but ended up writing it here instead. I spent like, all day just messing around with this one character, and I feel like I’ve barely scratched the surface. There’s a whole universe of stories built around him, and I’m kinda hooked now. I might even try to find that old Shadows of the Empire game everyone talks about.
