Do you think using rocket boots (like Cad Bane’s) along with a jetpack (like the Mandalorians’) would make flight easier or more difficult? Like, would the extra rockets help maneuverability and/or speed, or would they just be more jets to keep track of?

Usually, having multiple sources of thrust that aren’t coordinated with each other is bad news. If the user managed to keep their body completely straight and still, I would imagine that the combination could give them extra speed. However, rocket boots are more maneuverable than jetpacks and much more unstable, so I think it’s more likely that they would end up interfering with the jetpack’s ability to maneuver and cause the user to go all over the place, because those rockets have the potential to point in any direction if the user can’t control them perfectly.

Hope that helps!

Hi again! I’m writing a story about cad bane and I just had two questions about Duros biology that i couldn’t figure out. 1: are duros warm blooded or cold blooded or somewhere in the middle? I have him go to a snowy planet similar to hoth or orto plutonium and I was just wondering if the cold temperatures would give him more trouble that usual. That was all. Have a wonderful day! :D

It’s never specifically said (sorry!) but since Duros are distant descendants of reptiles, it’s more likely that they are cold-blooded. If you choose to interpret him this way, then he would have trouble with a cold planet, yes. (Also I can’t help but notice that that was just one question? Was there another part?)

Hope that helps!

Was it ever explained why some people like Cad Bane and Greedo have that sorta echo-y, mechanical-sounding voice while others of their species don’t?

Cad Bane has breathing tubes that lead directly to his windpipe, which could certainly cause his voice to sound mechanical. While there’s no definite answer, that seems to be the most likely. As for Greedo, I couldn’t say. There seems to be no explanation for it, so it may have just been a production choice. Naturally, there are various other reasons for a being to have a mechanical-sounding voice, and it will be different for every character.
