Any questions about Star Wars species can be posted here, but I had questions of my own to start with.

I was wondering-- does anyone know what the name of the species Yoda is?

Also: the species of the double-headed announcer at the Boonta Eve podrace?

And another-- I remember in "Tales from Jabba's Palace" that the green, mean, wrinkly-faced skiff guards were called "Weequays", but I've also seen them called "Klatoonians" and that many of them are named after a famous hero, "Barada", which sometimes serves as an alternate species name. (I know they were named after "Klaatu, Barada, Nikto" from "The Day the Earth Stood Still). Is there a consistent, reliable source for these guys?

Thanks-- my info comes from the EU book "Tales From Jabba's Palace" but the "Klatoonian" reference comes from "Star Wars Insider". Sources aren't matching up!

Yoda's species is never named.

Trivia: There are 60-70+ Canon species in the OT alone.

He's kept it a secret, as well as his homeworld.

Weequays, Klatoonians, and Nikto are three different races.

Sources occaisianally do that. Find a copy of the SW Essential Guide to Alien Species for the definitive explanations.

wasn't barada Jabba's enginer?

Yes. He maintained the skiffs, sail barge, and landspeeders.

I believe Yaddle, a female Jedi Council Member, is the same species as Yoda. With inter-species breeding, there must be billions of alien species in the SW Galaxy.

Lex wrote:wasn't barada Jabba's enginer?

Yes he was. This is actually interesting. Barada was actually the name of the species, as used by the people who were making them. They also used some other names, from one of Asimov's books. However, the names of the species were changed by the EU, and because they were never named in canonical films/novelizations, the official names of the species are Klatoonian, Nikto, and Weequay.

Yaddle is of the species that Yoda is, however Even Piell (the pink one with the eye-injury) is not, despite their similar appearance. Interspecies breeding is nearly impossible, though you grossly under-inflate the number of species. There are probably a billion species of life on Earth alone.

I'm told that once he was called a Mo-put by the FX guys

As in a bastardized version of "muppet"

::holds up necronomicon:: I WILL SAY IT! I WILL!!!!!!!!

He might just be the bastard child of Miss piggy and Kermit.

What's the three eyed species, kinda humanoid, there's one in Palpatine's entourage in AOTC?

Gran.

it seems like sith lords were mostly humans...i dont know any non.human sith-lord, except Maul, who was a knight

I think Naga Sadow was a member of the original Sith species.

Don't know about Darth Bane, though.

umm, if i got that right, it looks like Naga Shadow was also a human

Wrong, and wrong. Both human, according to the New EGTC.

I see.

I'm guessing the pinky-Sith Lords don't really count, since at that time it was an empire.

Yoda's species remains unnamed.
