What is GONK?
A long time ago, in rec.arts.sf.starwars, the Gonk Wars raged. Gonk is the power droid that you can see throughout the movies. It is a black cube with silver legs that says “Gonk”. You can see Gonk best in the Jawa’s Sandcrawler in ‘A New Hope’. Many Star Wars fans believed that Gonk was a God and that the whole movie was about him and the characters of Luke, Leia, and Han were just bit parts. In any case, we hope never to have a Gonk War again since it took up so much traffic in r.a.s.s.
