Mark Hurliman is a writer and news reporter for EUCantina. He joined the website in 2010, around the same time that he became a host of our official podcast, EUCast. Mark's status as a "defender of the EU" has made him a popular guest on various Star Wars podcasts. He lives in Oregon with his wife and two children.
Mark's favorite Star Wars novel is Star by Star, but he has had the pleasure of reading nearly every existing Star Wars novel or comic. 
Dave’s comment about the Gungan called Lunker was not a joke at all. It’s mentioned in some detail in the book “The Art of The Clone Wars”, which discusses the original concept for the show: a male Twi’lek Jedi and his female Togruta Padawan, a male Human smuggler and his girlfriend, and the show’s ‘muscle’, a Gungan named Lunker.
Check it out, it’s a great book.
