Female Calamari...

Okay, since when do Mon Calamari females have breasts? They're definitely not mammalian. Makes very little sense. :wtf:

Scientifically it's off, but they look sort of good (not in a sexual way).

Why do 99% of aliens in SW have two arms, two legs, and one head?

Who cares?

She's a dancer. Maybe they're implants, to titillate the humans :shock:

The implants idea does kind of make sense... we know that bodily modification, and the technology thereof, certainly exists in the SW-verse (hell, it does here!).

Maybe the Calamari have air bladders for some use and the female's are more pronounced, or that female is using her's at the time of the picture?

Maybe in Star Trek, but not Star Wars.

In Wars there are a lot of funny creatures, like Hutts, or four armed creatures (Ep1, the guy who's engines blew up) or people with head-tails , etc, etc, etc.

In TREK everyone looks like humans with makeup.

Not being a mammal is only the half of it. Humans are the only primates with swollen breasts when they're not pregnant, the rest have them lying flat the rest of the time. To an alien, every human female probably looks like she's in her third trimester.

That's debatable. Trek has some funny aliens too, like giant crystals, mounds of moving rock, things with geometric shapes for bodies, "ethereal beings," giant jellyfish, blobs, etc.

And in SW we have plenty of "aliens" who look like humans with a mask on (head-swap). And we've got the humans in makeup too, check some of Jabba's dancers, or the Deathsticks guy.

It's called "budget limitations." ; )

That's funny, because LucasArts made Star Wars: Galaxies take out the breast options for Mon Calamari really early in the game. They don't have a rack, and neither do Trandoshans.

With the prequel trilogy lacking in elaborate musical numbers, Aaron McBride and the rest of the Art Department were given the task to create visuals for a new spectacular in Episode III.

No shit. We don't need a goddamn musical number, we need ass-kicking. What has an elaborate production number to do with Anakin Skywalker's fall?

I'd hit it.

What? :lol:

I agree, it makes no sense for her to have boobs. I'd lean towards them being a boob job, if she is, in fact, a dancer.

It was the music that made Anakin fall! It drove him insaaane!!!

Maybe it's supposed to be a (badly thought out) "mirror" of the music sequence in (SE) ROTJ.

What's the cantina theme got to do with Luke's journey to a larger world? What's Jabba's theme got to do with anything? I agree with what Lucas thought- the prequels need one.

As for asskicking ... erm, have you been watching the Ep 3 webdocs? When Lucas produced the first script, he basically shrugged his shoulders and said "there's a lot of cheating. there's a lot of 'they fight'."

Moving on, this musical number is:

SPOILER








If spoiler information is correct, it's supposedly a high-class elaborate play/opera? Chancellor Palpatine and Anakin are watching in an up-stage Coruscant theatre. During it, important plot points are revealed by Palpatine to Anakin. It's not there for it's own sake.

Also if the spoilers are correct, it's going to be an impressive musical number visually 8) Circe de Corusant anyone?

No, she doesn't. :shock:

But, since Jabba's apparently turned on by twi'leks and humans, perhaps it could work in reverse/

As for 'funny-looking people', the Star Wars aliens are definitely more inhuman-looking than Trek aliens, but there's a hell of a lot of 2-armed, 2-legged, 4-fingers-and-a-thumb aliens in that galaxy far, far away.

I think it's interesting, and does give us a good look at what Mon Calamari's physical structure is like. Is it just me, or do those look like gills on the sides of her stomach?

A Mon Calamari dancer, plus such a long veil on her headdress seems to indicate that the musical/performance sequence in RotS will be underwater. I'd certainly be interested in seeing the Star Wars take on the bathing beauties genre. :)

Here comes the Lucas Follies of '05!

If not they can always hire Michael Flatly for "Spacedance."

Heh. My question is, why did they stop at two? Why not give her a bunch of mammaries like the "Fat Dancer" or something. ; )

SOD answer would be that, since human have only two breasts there's no reason for more (since that probaly ain't what natural Mon Calmari females look like).
