List ofStar Warsspecies (F–J)

ForStar Warshumans, seeList of Star Wars creatures.

This is alist ofStar Warshumanoid aliensentientspecies,containing the names of fictionalspeciesfrom theStar Warsfranchise beginning with the letters F through J. ForStar Warshumans, seeStar Warshumans.Star Warsis an Americanepicspace operafilm seriescreated byGeorge Lucas.The first film in the series,Star Wars,was released on May 25, 1977, and became a worldwidepop culturephenomenon, followed by five sequels and three prequels. Many species of alien creatures (often humanoid) are depicted.

Falleen

TheFalleenare a race of human-like reptilian people originating from the world Falleen in the Mid Rim region within theStar Warsuniverse. They have the ability to change the hue of their skin to convey their emotional state and influence the emotional state of others. Both males and females of this race emit strong pheromones, easily attracting members of other humanoid species, irrespective of gender. Black Sun, a crime syndicate within the Mid Rim, was run by Falleen noblemen. A notableLegendsvillain from this race isPrince Xizor.Another major villain was Darth Karrid of theOld Republic.

Far-Outsiders

Far-Outsidersis the cryptic code-name given by theChisswho inhabit the edges of the galaxy (an example of one being Grand Admiral Thrawn of the Empire), for the extra-galactic alien force that began assaulting the Unknown Regions in the years during theGalactic Civil War.They are probably theYuuzhan Vong,who launched a siege on thegalaxyfrom 25 to 30 ABY (After theBattle of Yavin). The name "Far-Outsiders" is also used by the inhabitants ofZonama Sekotto describe the invaders that attacked their planet. The Far-Outsiders are referred to in the singular, but the Chiss named "Stent" once toldMara Jadethat there were"a hundred different threats out there that would freeze your blood if you knew about them. The Ruling Families can't stop them; neither can any power in the region.",suggesting that the term "Far-Outsiders" may apply to any unknown hostile race originating from outside the galaxy.

Feeorin

Nym, a pirate from variousStar Warscomputer games (including the MMORPG "Star Wars Galaxies" ) was aFeeorin.It is said that Feeorins only grow stronger with age. Their homeworld was Odryn for a period of time in the Old Republic era when the oldest and strongest Feeorin was chosen as their leader. The controversial Jedi master Feln was a Feeorin leader.It has been stated in severalStar Warsnovels and comics that there are only roughly one million Feeorins left in the galaxy, suggesting a decline from a larger number.

Ferroans

Not a well-known species, the only references to Ferroans appear inForce Heretic1–3 andRogue Planet.They have icy blue skin, white-toned hair, and live onZonama Sekot,a living planet. The planet provides them with fleshy habitats constructed of its own mass.

Firrerreo

The Firrerreo are a species of near-humans from the planet Firrerre. They have two-toned hair and golden skin. In their culture, if someone says a Firrerreo's name, the Firrerreo would be forced to serve the speaker, as saying a Firrerreo's name was a form of power.

They no longer live on Firrerre; after the poisoning of their world by the Empire, they were loaded onto massive colony ships for a journey to another world. One of their own, aForce-sensitive namedHethrir,betrayed his people at the command ofDarth Vader.After the deaths of Darth Vader andPalpatine,Hethrir returned and intercepted the colony ships. He disengaged the drives and left the sleeping Firrerre to drift in space. He plundered the ships for the valuable equipment on board and took the children to sell as slaves. Hethrir kidnapped the children ofHan SoloandPrincess Leia Organa Solo;Anakinand the twins Jacen and Jaina. Han was on a mission at the time and did not know of the kidnappings, so Princess Leia set out to find them herself. On her quest, she stumbled upon the drifting colony ships. She asked one of the two awake Firrerre if he wanted to be freed, but he said that they would reengage the drive, heading towards the planet selected for them by the Emperor years before. They were considered extinct by theYuuzhan Vong War,but, 15 years later, they were just considered scattered.

Fosh

TheFoshare a sentientavianspecies. They are first mentioned in theStar Wars:The New Jedi Orderseries. The only Fosh mentioned in all theStar Warsbooks was theJediKnight Vergere.

The Fosh never had a large population on their planet, which prevented them from becoming as influential a race as humans are in theStar Warsuniverse.

Fosh females have preternaturally developed tear ducts, used for mating purposes on their homeworld. The Jedi Vergere, with the aid of the Force, can further alter her tears to secrete anything from an extremely potent anesthetic to a powerful antidote such as the one that cured Mara Jade Skywalker after she was infected with a deadly Yuuzhan Vong disease.

The only known Fosh, a female Jedi Knight named Vergere, is also mentioned during Anakin Skywalker's time on Zonoma Sekot, as he recalls a flashback of her. Her call is what brought Obi-Wan and Anakin to the planet in the first place, although they can find no trace of her, and instead hear of mysterious invaders. The description of Vergere falls in line with the description of her when she returns with the Yuuzhan Vong, and is the same Vergere that disappeared from Zonoma Sekot.

Gamorrean

AGamorreanis a largepig-like humanoid.The creatures have little intelligence and are often hired as guards, notably byJabba the Hutt,who was fond of hiring them due to their low cost. On their home planet, Gamorreans exist in a sort of tribal political system dominated by the female sows. The males train for massive tribal conflicts that take place each year. The first time a space ship landed on Gamorr, the various tribes fought for days over who would win the right to approach it. The winning side eventually battered the vessel to pieces. Entries regarding the Gamorrean homeworld in travel guides simply read "DO NOT GO TO GAMORR!"

Physically, Gamorreans appear inReturn of the Jedias greenish, slimy (and apparently smelly)pig-like creatures. They are about 1.8 metres (5 ft 11 in) tall and weigh about 100 kilograms (220 lb). Underneath their pig-like snouts, protruding from jowled cheeks, are yellowed tusks. These complement the small, yellow horns the Gamorreans have growing from the top of their heads. These creatures appear in a picture released by the creator of the showThe Mandalorian,Jon Favreau,to promote the release of season 2 of the show coming out in fall of 2020.A few Gammoreans also feature prominently inThe Book of Boba Fett.

Howard Sternhas referred frequently to "Gamorrean Guard", a person interviewed by Gary Garver at aStar Warsconvention.

Gand

Gandsareinsectoidswho evolved on the planet Gand. There are two main sub-species of Gands: those with lungs, which are very rare, and those without. Gands with lungs are adapted to Gand'sammonia-richatmosphere,but they are poisoned byoxygenand must use a special breathing apparatus if they want to leave Gand. Gands without lungs have special regeneration properties, demonstrated by their ability to recover quickly from injuries and even regrow lost limbs (As shown by Ooryl Qrygg in theX-wingseries byMichael Stackpole).

Gands are not allowed to use personal pronouns unless they have achieved something extraordinary. A young or underachieving Gand talks about himself or herself inthird personand calls themselves "Gand". If a Gand achieves something notable, they can use their family'ssurname,but will still use the third person. A second, more impressive feat allows the heroic Gand to choose a first name for himself. Only the best-known Gands are allowed to use thefirst person,and then only after their aptitude has been audited by ajury,in what is called ajanwuine-jika,after which they are declaredjanwuine.However, should a Gand be ashamed of their deeds, they would "reduce" their name when talking about themselves.

Many Gands choose a strange profession, the Findsman. A Findsman is ashamanas well as apolice officer.The Findsman will interpret the shapes of gases and makeprophecies,usually aboutfugitives.Then, the Findsman will track the fugitive to bring him to justice. During the reign of the Empire, some Findsmen becamebounty hunters.

One of the best-known Gands is Zuckuss, who was a bounty hunter employed byDarth Vaderto hunt downHan Solo,and was at one time the assistant toBossk.Another well known Gand is Ooryl Qrygg, a pilot in Rogue Squadron, and a very good friend of Corran Horn, both of whom are characters in the book I, Jedi. Ooryl lacked lungs and therefore did not need a mask for normal oxygen environments. He became so honored among Gands that he was given the honor of referring to himself in the first person.It is apparent, based on Corran's observations, that if Ooryl was troubled or distressed he would speak in the third person until the problem was solved. An example of such an occurrence would be when Corran and Ooryl were in the mess hall on a Mon Calamari cruiser: Ooryl, in mid-conversation, began speaking in the third person, and Corran immediately noticed something was troubling him, with the author (who narrates from Corran's point of view) noting that Ooryl only did this when something was bothering him.

Gank

Also known as "Gank Killers" due to their volatile nature, Ganks are a sentient cyborg species. Ganks are seldom seen without their body-covering armor. Many are found working forHuttsonNar Shaddaa,but there are other Ganks living in other places besides "The Smuggler's Moon". It is also quite common for Ganks to wear armor that represents the planet they live on or the faction they fight for. They are brutal killers that will annihilate anything that gets in their way. There is a story, however, of an encounter a group of Ganks had with theJedi MasterMace Windu.Surrounded by 14 Ganks, Master Windu simply touched hislightsaberhilt and the Ganks dropped their weapons to the ground.

Gen'Dai

These large humanoids are encased in heavy armor most of the time, which serves as their exoskeleton. Their nervous and circulatory systems make them extremely resilient. Their nervous system is composed of thousands of clusters allowing them to regenerate limbs and pull nearby limbs back onto their bodies. This unusual nervous system gives themJedi-like reflexes. They also lack a central heart. They have an advanced vascular system that circulates blood. They lack vital organs making them nearly invulnerable to attack. These odd nervous and circulatory systems may be the cause of their astonishingly long lifespans. There were some Gen'Dai reported to have lived for more than 4,000 years.

The most well known Gen'Dai was Durge. He was one of Count Dooku's lieutenants and also one of the rare cases of "violent Gen'Dai". Durge fought and bested a youngBoba Fettin combat but was later beaten on Muunilinst byObi-Wan Kenobi,before being killed in space byAnakin Skywalkernear the end of the Clone Wars (Anakin trapped Durge in an escape pod then used the Force to guide it into a nearby star).

Geonosian

TheGeonosiansare an insectoid species native to the planetGeonosis,a barren rocky world that is home to thousands of factories geared towards mechanical construction. Many of the galaxy's biggest manufacturing concerns hold contracts with the Geonosians. Geonosians reside in hive colonies in organic-looking spires.George Lucasthought of the creatures astermite-like in terms of how their society formed, including their architecture.All Geonosians have a hard exoskeleton, elongated faces, multi-jointed limbs, and speak in a strangeclicking languageknown as Geonosian. There are two main types of Geonosian: the wingless drones that mostly work as laborers, and the winged aristocrats, which includes royal warriors serving as scouts and providing security to the hive. They look down on their wingless cousins. InStar Wars: The Clone Wars,it is revealed that the Geonosian Queen Karina the Great uses a kind of "brain worm" to ensure the loyalty of other Geonosians. This mind control exists even after the host's death, although the "Geonosian zombies" have pure white eyes.

Geonosians do not have a standing military, although they do arm themselves with sonic blasters and static pikes. They instead use their droid foundries to build armies for corporate interests wealthy enough to afford them like theTrade Federationand the Techno Union. The Geonosians are also the ones who developed theDeath Starplans, leading to the race being mostly enslaved under Imperial occupancy as the Death Star itself was being built. (As seen inStar Wars: Empire at War) But as revealed inStar Wars Rebelstwo-part episode "Ghost of Geonosis", the Geonosians were nearly driven to extinction by the Empire to ensure the secrecy of the Death Star as it was nearing completion, and moved to an undisclosed location. Only a Geonosian nicknamed "Klik-Klak" and a queen egg appear to remain on Geonosis.

Poggle the Lesserwas a Geonosian who appeared inEpisode IIand oversaw the production ofbattle droidsfor the Trade Federation and later provided the bulk of the troops for the Confederacy of Independent Systems. He was decapitated byDarth VaderonMustafarinEpisode III.In the video gameStar Wars Battlefront II,the player must fight a Geonosian who is trying to use the droid factories on Mustafar to create his own army. He was named Gizor Delso.

Geonosians make a unique appearance inLego Star Wars: The Video Game,appearing with one of two weapons (either their characteristic sonic blaster or a normal blaster rifle) randomly, beyond the player's control.

Givin

TheGivinare from the planetYag'Dhuland are often found doing starship repair work because of their exoskeleton, which allows them to withstand depressurization; this vacuum-resistance allows them to resist many forms of deadly gases. Givin are renowned for their extensive knowledge of anything that has to do with numbers, and often are regarded as some of the best mathematicians in the galaxy.

Gizka

Gizkaare a species of smallamphibiouscreatures, appearing in the video gameStar Wars: Knights of the Old Republic.Whatever their native world, their extraordinary reproduction rate led to a fair amount of Gizka on many worlds, even including uncharted planets such asRakata Prime,finding their way from the wreckage of crashed starships. It has been alternatively postulated that they came from that planet originally, spreading along with theInfinite Empire.Their exponential population growth led to them being considered pests on almost as many worlds as they inhabited.

TheEbon Hawkonce played host to a temporary colony of Gizka, in an incident involving mishandled cargo, anAqualish,and aTatooineshipping company. To get rid of them the Gizka were given poison and when they attacked other Gizka they passed on the disease exterminating the population. (Alternatively, the gizka can be sold or given to a Selkath "petting zoo"on the water planet of Manaan.)

The Gizka are a tribute to the popularStar Trekepisode, "The Trouble with Tribbles".

Glymphid

TheGlymphidare a race ofamphibianaliens with a rod-thin build, suction cup-tipped digits, and a long proboscis. Notable Glymphids include the podracerAldar Beedo.

Gorax

TheGoraxesare a race of behemoths from theforest moon of Endor.They can grow up to more than 98 feet in height and dwell on high crags far from the forests of the forest moon. They are mentioned in theIllustrated Star Wars Universebook and one appears as an antagonist in theCaravan of Courage: An Ewok Adventuremovie. They are humanoid, with primate-like faces and narrow chins, as well as enormous ears which are highly sensitive to noises made by small animals. They communicate through grumbling noises. The Goraxes wear fur clothes. They are primitive and powerful and frequently make raids onEwokvillages, where they smash through walls and kidnap Ewoks for pets, although the Goraxes usually forget to feed them or crush the unfortunate Ewoks. They hunt at night, since their eyes are sensitive to bright light. The Gorax is solitary and usually doesn't run into others. The only bond it has is with its pet boar wolves.

Gran

TheGran(also known asKinyenians) are a three-eyed alien race, 1.5 to 1.8 meters in height. They are native to the planet Kinyen, though they have colonies across the galaxy, such as on the planetsHokandMalastare.They are characterized by three eyes on stalks, a protruding, goat-like mouth, and orange skin. Gran had a great deal of power within the Galactic Senate, during the later years of theOld Republic.However, by the timethe Emperor's reign descended over the galaxy Gran became less prominent, and suffered from Imperial oppression.

In the seriesThe Clone Wars,two senators, Senator Kharrus and Senator Philo, make one-episode appearances. They are both killed. Kharrus died in a shuttle crash, and Philo was shot in the back by Cad Bane.

In the Expanded Universe, most notably in the video games, Grans have become one of the most prominent enemies the player has to face, which is seen in the Dark Forces/Jedi Knight games.

Gree

The Gree were a six-tentacled race of cephalopod creatures that had an unusual anatomy with gray skin, large sad-looking eyes along with tall foreheads. These features supported an immense brain sac which flopped oddly behind their heads.

Grizmallt

TheGrizmalltare the original settlers ofNaboo.

In the final days of her life, Queen Tasia personally sponsored the last such expedition. With the blessing of a famousJedi Master,the colony shipBeneficent Tasiaand its supportstarships,ConstantandMother Vima,left Grizmallt in search of fortune and glory. The expedition targeted the galaxy's dangerous southern quadrant, then home to a handful of settlements. On Grizmallt, Queen Tasia's dying wish was that this last expedition would find a home deep within unexplored space. Shortly after she perished, however, theBeneficent Tasiaalso went silent.

The inhabitants of Grizmallt assumed thatBeneficent Tasiahad been lost, but the starship did, in fact, survive the many hazards of unknown space. Although severely damaged and unable to contact Grizmallt, the expedition eventually reached Naboo's orbit. As if guided by Tasia's last wish, the settlers discovered that Naboo was apastoral,peaceful world rich in natural resources and quite capable of supporting human life. In approximately 3900 BBY (Before theBattle of Yavin), the Grizmallt colonists crash landed onNabooto stay.

Within weeks of their arrival, the settlers encountered theGungans,the planet's nativesentientspecies.Although immediately distrustful of one another, neither species attacked the other and thehumanswere allowed to establish their first settlement without incident. Over the next several decades, the settlers slowly spread across the planet's largest landmass, building cities and villages to support their growing numbers. The human colonists kept to the grassy plains and ocean coastlines, only occasionally treading into Gungan territory. Despite this, tension between the humans and the Gungans remained strong.

Gungans named the human settlers as"Naboo",the Gungan word for"foolish"or"plainsfolk"as the humans settled on the dry grassy northern plains of the planet which the indigenous Gungans considered foolish, being undesirably dry and hostile to their way of life. The amphibious Gungans dwell in the southern wet swamplands, lakes and seas of the planet.

Grysk / Yuuzhan Vong

Initially introduced as theYuuzhan Vongin the book seriesThe New Jedi Order(1999–2003), the species were an extragalactic, technophobic, fanatically religious species who were intent upon conquering the galaxy, which they attempted during the Yuuzhan Vong War (25–29 ABY). They were both invisible to direct Force sight and unaffected by direct Force powers. The Yuuzhan Vong used biotechnology instead of mechanical technology. Their homeworld was at first in a different galaxy and was called Yuuzhan'tar, which was destroyed in the Cremlevian War. Some went to a seed that was produced from the ashes of Yuuzhan'Tar which was first seen by people in the Unknown Regions and was called Zonama Sekot. Others went toCoruscant,which they renamed Yuuzhan'tar upon conquering the planet in 27 ABY, ending theNew Republic.

The Yuuzhan Vong believed that all other races were little more than barbarians who were not fit to live in their presence. Because of this the Vong attempted to conquer the universe with little thought to the damage they were doing to the universe or its inhabitants. The only race the Vong saw as a threat, or as close to a threat as they were willing to believe, were Wookiees. They saw them as fierce warriors and felt that they deserved to live. For this reason, the Vong enslaved Wookiees rather than attempting to destroy them.

After the fall of Coruscant, the scattered New Republic's troops reorganized and joined forces with theImperial Remnant(established in 12 ABY) to form the Galactic Federation of Free Alliances (or simply Galactic Alliance) in 28 ABY, which managed to defeat the Yuuzhan Vong and drive them back to the Unknown Regions in 29 ABY.

The invasion is coming, Lord Vader. But I have now bought the Empire time to prepare.

—Grand Admiral Thrawn,toDarth Vader

Canon

After the October 2012 acquisition of Lucasfilm byDisney,the Yuuzhan Vong were declared non-canonical in April 2014. In their stead, the filmStar Wars: The Force Awakens(2015) introduced theFirst Order,a faction that arose from one of many Imperial Remnants between 5 and 21 ABY, and eventually destroyed the New Republic in 34 ABY, while theResistance(formed in 28 ABY) continued to fight against the First Order. A canonical version of the Yuuzhan Vong, now known as theGrysk,were introduced in theTimothy ZahnnovelThrawn: Alliances(2018). Both species are described as having sloping foreheads and skull-like faces, and being a threat to the Chiss Ascendancy hailing from the Unknown Regions and enslaving other races, though the Grysk use conventional mechanical technology rather than biotechnology, as the novel is set in an earlier time frame than the previous non-canonicalLegendsnovels.

Gungan

"Gungan" redirects here. For the village in Iran, seeGunkan.For the frogs often called "gungans" in Queensland, seeUperoleia.

TheGungans,also known as Goongas, have humanoidamphibiousbodies, but their heads are elongated with large, dangling fin-like ears. They are amphibian in blood and seem to have evolved from frogs and toads, given their incredible jumping. They live in underwater cities on the planetNaboo.The principal Gungan character in the movies isJar Jar Binks;the ruler of the Gungans isBoss Nass.Boss Nass is an Ankura, a subspecies of Gungan. The only other Gungans to be given a name in the films areCaptain Tarpalsand Augara Jowil, though the novelization also mentions aGeneral Ceeland The Yellow Dart. Other games have shown other leaders including Boss Gallo.

The Gungans and the Naboo (human inhabitants of Naboo) did not get along, as the Gungans believed the Naboo to be pompous cowards, while the Naboo believed the Gungans to be barbarians. This attitude lasted untilQueen Amidalaunited the Gungans and Naboo to fight the Trade Federation in the Battle of Naboo.After the Battle of Naboo, the Gungans attained representation in the Senate through Representative Jar Jar Binks, who became very close friends with Senator Padmé Amidala.

The Gungans reproduce sexually;although they seemandrogynous,the males tend to be taller and more muscular than the females, who usually tie their long ears back.

Gungans ride theKaadu,and maintain theFambaaboth are amphibious creatures.

Habassa

The only mention of theHabassais in theX-Wingvideo game. They originate from the planet Habassa II which was enslaved by the Empire. After the Battle of Yavin, they joined the Alliance.

Hapan

TheHapansare the people of the Hapes Cluster and the Hapes Consortium. The Hapes Cluster is very bright, so Hapans' vision at night is not as good as other humans. Though similar to humans, they are known for being beautiful, especially the women. The women are also the dominant sex. Hapans speak the Hapan language.

Harch

TheHarchwere sentientspider-like species from Secundus Ando. Admiral Trench of theStar Wars: the Clone Warsseries is of this race.

Herglic

Herglicswere a cetacean-like species similar to whaladons. They originated from Giju.

Himoran

TheHimoransshare an ancient lineage withBothans,thus are similar in appearance, though significantly taller. Hailing from the massive planetHimora,these sentients are a primitive people, their homeworld having been long neglected by larger existing governments. Himorans are exceptional in that their population contains an unusually large number ofForce-sensitive individuals, expected to number more than 7,000.

H'nemthean

H'nemtheansare reptilian humanoids, from the planetH'nemthe,have four conelets and double cheekbones, resulting in ridges of bone and skin on their faces. The hornlets are sensitive to both emotion and temperature. When a female H'nemthe consummates her relationship with a male, sheeviscerateshim with her knife-shaped tongue, strangely considering it a proof of love. This odd ritual is most likely a result of the fact that there are 20 males to every female on their home planet.

Hssiss

Hssiss were large dragon like creatures that appeared on Korriban. Members of this species are shrouded with the dark side and feature large armor plating on the dorsal region. These creatures have a strong connection with the force and an ability to become invisible. In theXboxgameKnights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords,they guarded the skeletal remains of what was left of the old Sith Academy. If you choose to search the remains of a Sith, Hssiss would come out of nowhere and attack you. They are formidable and are immune to certain force powers.

Hutt

Main article:Hutt (Star Wars)

Hutt are a clan of crime lords that control territory in the outer rim. Huttsare a long-livedgastropoidspecies. They originated on Varl, but now claimNal Huttaas their homeworld. Of them,Jabba the Huttis perhaps the most famous, appearing inThe Phantom Menace,A New Hope,andReturn of the Jedi(where he was the first major antagonist.) Ziro the Hutt (who is Jabba's uncle) is probably the second most well-known, as he is prominently featured inStar Wars: The Clone Wars.Gardulla the Hutt is mentioned inThe Phantom Menaceas the former slave owner of Anakin and Shmi Skywalker before losing a podracing bet to Toydarian junk dealer Watto; she also appears as a member of the Hutt Council inThe Clone Wars.Durga the Huttand Jiliac the Hutt are prominently featured as rival crime lords inThe Han Solo Trilogy,and Jabba's father, Zorba the Hutt, is featured prominently in theJedi Princeseries.

Despite evidence of sexual deviance, Hutts are actually asexual, and choose when to give birth, as described in the second Han Solo trilogy and the Clone Wars novel.

Iktotchi

TheIktotchiare an alien race located in a remote system in the Expansion Region, next to the Corellian Run, along with neighboring planet Aridus. They have a tough, hairless, and often reddish skin, as well as two downward-sloping horns on the sides of the head.

One famous Iktotchi is Jedi MasterSaesee Tiin,who sat on theJedi Council.

Ithorian

Ithoriansare a species of intelligent herbivores from the planetIthor.They are commonly called "Hammerheads" because of their long, curving neck and T-shaped head.

Ithorians are natives of the planet Ithor, a lush world with sprawling rain forests. The Ithorians worship Mother Jungle and long ago vowed never to desecrate their planet. Once they discovered repulsorlift technology, the Ithorians built expansive "herd cities" floating in the skies above their home world. The species migrated to these platforms, ensuring that Ithor would remain pristine forever. However, theYuuzhan Vongdestroyed their planet when the second in command released a plague that turned everything into a black sludge.

Abroad, Ithorians have integrated well with the intergalactic community. Their own language is difficult for non-Ithorians to learn, as the Ithorians have twin mouths on opposite sides of their necks. However, they are able speak Basic, albeit with an accent. Their vocal cords are strong enough to produce a sound shockwave used in defense to stop an enemy in its tracks.

Ithorian Roron Corobb was a Jedi Master who died protecting Chancellor Palpatine fromGeneral Grievousduring theClone Wars.

Momaw Nadon, an exiled Ithorian,was present in theMos EisleyCantina inA New Hope.

As seen inStar Wars: Knights of the Old Republic,Ithorians were also instrumental in the restoration of the planet Telos after it was destroyed by Sith during theJedi Civil War.An Ithorian named Chodo Habat employed the help of aJedi Exileduring the Telos Restoration Project with the promise that he would cure the exile's "wound in the Force" if the Jedi Exile foiledCzerka Corporation's attempts to take over the restoration project.

Jawa

A Jawa with thesporeof asarlaccfrom "Fortune, Fate, and the Natural History of the Sarlacc",Star Wars Tales6(2000)

TheJawasare apygmyrodent-likeraceinhabiting the desert planet ofTatooine.They are usually 1–1.5 m (3 ft 3 in – 4 ft 11 in) tall.They work as scavengers and tinkerers, picking up discarded or broken machinery and fi xing it up to resell as well as stealing anything that catches their eye. Jawas are usually peaceful unlike Tusken Raiders, but may sometimes use ion blasters or other weapons to defend themselves. They are entirely covered in tan cloaks, with their faces hidden in hoods and only their glowing yellowor red eyes visible.

For transport in the desert world, they use long-abandoned miningSandcrawlers.These lumbering giants can house a family unit as well as store cargo that they have collected on their journeys. Jawas belong to clans. Half of the clan works in the Sandcrawler, while the other half lives in desert fortresses made from wrecked spaceships for protection againstTusken Raidersandkrayt dragons.They also serve as a home for the rest of the Jawa clan which stores the wealth gathered by the other family unit in the Sandcrawler. Jawas have a reputation with Tatooine locals for being swindlers and thieves.

Jawas appear briefly inStar Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menaceduring the Boonta Eve ClassicPodrace,and inEpisode II – Attack of the Clones,giving directions to Anakin Skywalker. They also appear inStar Wars: A New Hopewhen they picked upC-3POandR2-D2and sold them toOwen LarsandLuke Skywalker,as well as multiple Jawas appearing among the riffraff in Jabba the Hutt's palace inStar Wars: Return of the Jedi.Two Jawas and a Sandcrawler are seen at the end ofThe Rise of Skywalker.Jawas also appear on the planetArvala-7in "Chapter 2: The Child",the second episode of the television seriesThe Mandalorian,in which they are depicted with red eyes (recallingRalph McQuarrie's concept art).Although their faces are never seen by viewers, they are described inThe Mandalorianas being "very furry". Though Jawas are based upon Tatooine, some Jawas have left the planet and built up their civilizations elsewhere, such as the tribe on Arvala-7. Because Jawas enjoy scavenging, they tend to build their Sandcrawlers and engage in the same activities on other planets as they do on Tatooine.

Specialists studying the past of the Sand People of the Tusken Raiders also used the termGhorfato denote an earlier sedentary phase of their culture, and, lastlyKumumgah,for the earliest stratum of sentient civilization on the planet, believed by some to represent a common ancestry shared by the Tuskens and the Jawas.

Jungle Felucian

The Jungle Felucians, more commonly referred to as the Felucians, were an amphibious sentient species native to the planet Felucia. Viewed as strange and unusual by other species, the Felucians possessed two sets of arms—one ending in four webbed digits, and the other in three dexterous fingers—as well as a head consisting of a thick mass of tendrils. Members of the species usually stood 1.9 meters tall and weighed ninety kilograms. The Felucians were naturally sensitive to the Force and were in tune with their home planet's ever-changing balance of that energy field. The Felucians possessed no advanced technology and lived a somewhat primitive lifestyle. Unlike many other primitive species, the Felucians were not divided into multiple tribes; rather, they were all members of a single tribe spanning the entirety of Felucia. However, the species did have strict class stratification. Three of their most prominent classes were the warriors, the shamans, and the chieftains.
