Yeah, it definitly feels like something they were either given by the merch department and asked politely to sell, or a holdover from a much earlier draft they could never figure out how to replace for the "We need a big CGI fighter" moments.

However, the inspiration for that dumb idea was, of all things, the equally rather dumb giant lizard Obi-Wan Kenobi rides in Star Wars: Episode III, and of course, Obi-Wan was a hero with a cool hood who came back from death as a ghost, so arguably, the Iguana Ghostriker has everything to do with the themes of the show... from a certain point of a view.

... I'm glad I started memeing about the Iguana just so I could read this.
