I think this is a robot Chicken joke 😁

There is a whisky called Bothan’s and I always think George had a few when they say “many Bothans died”

Manny Bothans and Dustin Echoes, the two pillars of Star Wars and Halo lore

Star Wars has a million things like Bothans that are mentioned in passing or that flash across the screen for one second, which then get a whole elaborate back story treatment in the novels or comics or whatever. I’m sure there’s some trilogy of novels about the Bothans and their spy hyjinx and their profuse dying.
