Yes, Kitonaks look like fat penises, let’s just acknowledge that and move on. Plus, I love that there is a race of Mystiques in the Star Warsuniverse. It was one of the highlights of the film, as Wessel proved just how dangerous and capable a Clawdite can be. Wessel led Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi on a merry chase through the skies of Coruscant. (And what was with that? I mean the Trade Federation hired Count Dooku who hired Jango Fett who hired Zam Wessel who used a robot which used a poisonous centipede – does anyone actually do anything in that film?) The first Clawdite fans ever encountered (that we know of because, you know, Changelings) is Zam Wessel, the female bounty hunter that tried to kill Senator Padme Amidala in Attack of the Clones. They can change appearance at will and usually take jobs as mercenaries and bounty hunters.
ClawditesĬlawdites, otherwise known as Changelings, are some of the greatest spies in the Star Wars universe.
You have to wonder where this fuzzy brute stands on power and responsibility. And here’s a fun fact, the creators nicknamed Muftak Spider-Man due to the alien’s arachnid-like eyes. In action, the Talz possessed immense brute strength, making them quite the fuzzy badasses. The Talz also popped up in an episode of The Clone Wars, as Obi-Wan traveled to the snowy Talz home world. Star Wars Canon Timeline in Chronological Order By Megan Crouse and 1 other Plus, he basically uses hallucination-inducing mists as a means to hunt and kill people, so yeah. Zuckuss only appeared on the screen for a second, but his eerie and intimidating physical appearance made him stand out from the bounty hunter pack. They can also only breathe ammonia and look like giant psychotic bugs! The most famous Gand in the saga is Zuckuss, one of the bounty hunters called by Darth Vader to catch the Millennium Falcon in The Empire Strikes Back. Gands are a mysterious alien race that use a mystical mist to track their prey. Whatever the case, Mas Amedda was an intriguing figure that participated in the fall of the Old Republic and the creators at Lucasfilm made sure that the Chagrian would stand out in a crowd. One has to wonder if Amedda knew the Chancellor’s Sith identity or if he was just a political toadie licking the right boots to gain power within the Senate. Amedda could often be seen whispering into Palpatine’s ears as the Clone Wars raged on. Mas Amedda was constantly by Chancellor Palpaine’s side as the hidden Sith played a long power game with the galaxy. This race looks positively devilish and the one Chagrian fans met in the prequels was a manipulator of the highest order. One of the most striking designs of the prequels, Chagrian possess two huge horns and blue hewed skin. Did the Empire take revenge against this compelling race for daring to fight back? Maybe one day we can see what happens to this fierce species, but until then, we can enjoy their brief appearance in the prequels. I’m sure there’s a pretty thrilling story involving the Utapauns to be told after the formation of the Empire. They used their menagerie of creatures to fight back against the Separatists after their leader begged Obi-Wan Kenobi for help. These intimidating beings were still no match for the Separatist armies, but the Utapauns did not sit idly by. Utapauns look like something out of a Clive Barker novel, with flesh rending fangs and a disturbing bisected appearance. The Battle of Utapau was one of the more epic conflicts in Revenge of the Sith, as Republic forces freed the Utapaun people from Separatist occupation.
Ewoks versus the Yuzzum in the battle of rabid stuffed animals. Now there’s an Expanded Universe tale to be told. But that doesn’t lessen the lore of the Yuzzum, a fascinating species that must have gone to war with the Ewoks at some point. The new sequence added Yuzzum vocalist Joe Yowza to the act, and it really kind of sucked. The fine folks at Lucasfilm wanted to prolong the Sy Snootles and Max Rebo musical number. Examples of Yuzzum can also be seen in a few Making of Return of the Jedi documentaries where the sole example of a Yuzzum can be viewed sporting its improbably large blaster rifle.Ī Yuzzum finally made it to the forefront of the Star Wars saga in the special edition version of Return of the Jedi. If you look really closely, you can sort of spy a Yuzzum holding a huge gun standing against a wall in Jabba’s court. Did you know there was another furry alien species that populated the forest moon of Endor? Yuzzums are less intelligent than Ewoks and often hunt in packs.
