According the the RotJ novelization, he had raised the rancor from just a baby, IIRC.
They were lovers.
That would be an obvious possibility, yeah.
No love for Voren Na'al ?
Oh well.
There's also a Nien Nunb figure in the Vintage Collection, released in 2012.
Hell, there was a true vintage figure in 1983. I had it.
Well, they did do the Tales From Jabba's Palace short story collection, and one for the Mos Eisley Cantina, so those characters having detailed backstories are a little more forgivable to me. Where it gets ridiculous is when they do the same thing for a character who was in like one frame of a crowd scene. Hell, there's a whole series of articles on StarWars.com devoted to these kinds of characters. There was one a while back that gave names and backgrouds for all or at least a lot of the Rebels seen on Hoth before and during the Battle of Hoth, and right now there is an article all about the different R2 series droids that appeared on screen. The droid that Owen and Luke got before R2 has gotten like 3 different back stories, although one was never meant to be canon.
I'm having a tough time remember but was the Jawa the mail away from the first figure line?
No, that was Boba Fett. He was the first mail-away figure in the classic Kenner era (and, as some of us no doubt know, originally came with a rocket-firing feature and projectile and that first version was pulled for child safety reasons and replaced with the standard, regular Boba Fett).
Boba was later followed by Bossk, Dengar, Admiral Ackbar, Nien Nunb, The Emperor and Anakin Skywalker for the two later movies.

It looks like the First Order AT-AT Walker design incorporates some kind of ball turret or cannon battery in place of the old head and cockpit. It kind of looks like a hybrid design using elements from both the Republic Clone Army AT-TE walkers and the classic Imperial design.
I just want to drop Waldo in that one still to upset the fanatical fans lol
