Latest Updates
Campi
The Campis are surprisingly one of the only 3-armed humanoids within the entire franchise, save for maybe Star Wars Legends’ Oblee. As of the initial publishing of this article, we’ve just now been introduced to them, though I doubt we’ve seen the last.
Brayan
This humanoid species hails from a world known by some as “The Planet of Eternal Night,” leading to their rather extreme features, though they remain the least unsettling thing on a planet also inhabited by literal space vampires.
Rendellian
An avian-ish humanoid species whose canonicity is technically dubious given the nature of their one and only appearance within “Tales from the Death Star.”
Tolgroat
One of the only named species to originate from “Star Wars: Visions” so far, identified thanks to a blurry, blink-and-you’ll-miss-it shot of concept art from the “I Am Your Mother” Filmmaker Focus on Disney+!
Shorwilt
One of my favorite species to originate from the “The Acolyte” live action television series, the Shorwilts hide a rather interesting anatomical feature that could give them the upper hand in dire situations.
Vuvrian
Somehow one of the most visually striking species from “Episode IV: A New Hope” also remains one of the most obscure, being long overdue for the spotlight that many of their contemporaries have already received!
Constancian
I know “uncanny valley” has become a bit of an overused buzz phrase, but if any sentient species in Star Wars embodied this idea, I think it would have to be the Constancians, who would probably be unsettling across any medium.
Borneck
Honestly, one of the most peaceful and content species I’ve ever written about, who don’t come across as all that compelling, but sometime it is nice to have a break from writing about the tragedies so commonplace within the Star Wars universe!
Jaluku
One of my favorite alien designs to come from “The Rise of Skywalker,” I still remember the day I found out that the name “Jaluku” had been randomly dropped in the “Batuu Bounty Hunters” Galaxy’s Edge companion app!
Pada
There really isn’t much to say about the Pada as it stands, bipedal felinoids with goat horns is about as “throwaway” as it gets, though, as always, I hope they will be fleshed out more someday in the future!
Nejma
Another of the seventeen members of the “Iskalonian School” who, unfortunately, we never quite get a good look at, though we know at least a little bit of individual information about.
Meftian
The “Skullbeards,” as they were originally referred to behind the scenes of “Rogue One: A Star Wars Story,” are a rather striking species who manage to escape the “fleshy-looking” curse of the early Disney Star Wars films.
Balti
One of only a handful of walrus-like sentients in the Star Wars franchise so far who, unfortunately, only have one true appearance (and a handful of references) under their belt.
Zemerin
A bizarre race of small, one-legged, “negative energy vampires” who travel from planet to planet inciting conflict and confusion so that they can feed.
Hysalrian
A legendary species among a galaxy of legends who were at least partially responsible for the formation of the Jedi Grand Master Yoda that we know today!
Do or do not, there is no try.
“The story being told in Star Wars is a classic one. Every few hundred years, the story is retold because we have a tendency to do the same things over and over again. Power corrupts, and when you’re in charge, you start doing things that you think are right, but they’re actually not.”
– George Lucas
