What Skin Colors do Twi'leks Have?

[Battlehymn Republic]

And other questions for those who want to start a space harem.

1. What colors are there for twi'leks besides blue, green, and greyish?

2. Do Togrutas have other skin colors besides red?

3. What were the species of Jabba's slave girls?

4. Are there any other species besides twi'leks that just seem to have evolved exclusively for the purpose for dancing and looking pretty?

Enquiring minds want to know.

Yellow and red, at least.

[Darth Garden Gnome]

A Twi'lek in the nightclub in AOTC (who I believe was played by one of GL's daughters) was purple.

Yeah, that was Katie Lucas. I hear Amanda was also in that scene, but I haven't found her yet.

[VT-16]

There´s also a yellow with red stripes/dots combo, from the AOTC nightclub.

As noble an ideal as any!

Does that count as a new color? She probably has one red parent and one blue

That's a brainbug. In the films, the Twi'Leks aren't all attractive (read: babes) nor are they all dancing girls, much less slaves. And even in the Star Wars universe I'm sure they've heard of plastic surgery and makeup, it's not as if it has to all be naturally born "beauty" (which is in the eye of the beholder!).

So it's no more illogical than any other species with a few attractive members appearing onscreen. We've seen fat Twi'Leks (Twi-Leks?), ugly ones, Jedi ones, Senator ones, etc.

[Cykeisme]

Yeah.

Well, female Twi'Leks are simply supposed to be typically athletic and graceful, making them good very dancers. That's why they get scooped up as slaves. Ryloth is somewhat more primitive making it susceptible to slavers..

[Jason von Evil]

Not all Twi'leks are dancers. We have Aayla Secura, who was a Jedi and Mission Vao from Knights of the Old Republic, who was a scoundral, scout, smartass.

[Kuja]

If you think all Twi'leks are pretty, take a gander at Bib Fortuna. That'll shut down that thought fairly quickly.

[Spanky The Dolphin]

Well that's partially because a lot of Twi'lek males from many castes are damn ugly to begin with.

What the hell?
I said that Twi'Leks are athletic and graceful, traits which make them naturally good dancers. Slavers often go to Ryloth to kidnap or barter (with Twi'Lek communities!) for female slaves because of this.

I didn't say "ALL TWI'LEK FEMALES ARE DANCERS ZOMG".
You think I don't know who Aayla Secura and Mission Vao are?

It's "Scoundrel" btw.

Lol no kidding.
Male Twi'Leks have a different appearance from females.. they have chin bags and completely different ears. Twi'Lek ears are deserving of their own thread topic tbh(!).

Nawara Ven is a lawyer, of all things a Twi'lek can be.

[Battlehymn Republic]

Well, it's not as if I said that "twi'lek females are all too stupid and too damn pretty to be anything else than dancers and harem girls." They just seem to take up an overwhelming number of positions as slaves.

And I'd still like an answer to questions 2, 3, and 4. Since racial differences within species apparently aren't well-defined for twi'leks, there's probably no answer to 1.

[Battlehymn Republic]

Hm. Can't believe no one mentioned Zeltrons.

[Cykeisme]

Wtf is the deal with some folks reading a simple factual statement and totally blowing it out of proportion, deriving a message of their own based on their hairbrained assumptions.
The established fact is that Ryloth is a backward planet, with communities that sell their own your girls into slavery, who unfortunately are prized as slaves for their attractiveness. No, not all fucking Twi'Leks are slave dancers, nor are they incapable of being more.

This thread is like Revenge of the Twi'Lek Feminazis or something..

Hm. Can't believe no one mentioned Zeltrons.

Zeltrons.. the red-haired, light purple ones?

[Battlehymn Republic]

Unf?:


The King and Queen:

I always felt the Zeltrons were a little odd. They were introduced into the Star Wars Universe by Marvel, and they're basically a race that does nothing but party and get laid. A strange choice to include in a comic that at that point was mostly read by kids, but on top of that none of our intrepid Rebel heroes can stand them, though a reason (as far as I can remember) is never really given. I mean sure, Leia got pissed at some Zeltron guys who followed her around, but she and Han were together at that point. Luke, on the other hand, just seems terrified of women. Even before becoming a Jedi he runs into the Zeltrons, the women throw themselves at him and he just runs away. Maybe they figured that since, stereotypically, most kids reading Star Wars comics wouldn't be meeting any women anytime soon they could print whatever they wanted

Another race created exclusively to look pretty and engage in hedonism. This project is less like emulating Jabba, and more like a psychoanalysis of the Extended Universe.

At least, that's the story I'm sticking with.

[Spanky The Dolphin]

What project? What website is that quote from? We actually appreciate sources being cited around here, you know...

[Battlehymn Republic]

By project, I meant the premise of this thread.

A Guide!

As you can see, the Zeltron were introduced in the Marvel comic.

[Cykeisme]

Hahahaha more than one sentence out of that "Random Site" excerpt cracked me up

[NecronLord]

Oddly enough, Ryloth is still incredibly primative, despite being a major exporter of illict drugs. Also, for some reason, it rated a senator in the Old Republic.

It is, incidentally, important to note that even on Coruscant there seemed to be no Twi'lek females but the jedi one who did anything but look pretty on someone's arm. There was one in the Opera house scene, and quite a few in the nightclub scene of AotC.

Apparently, more Twi'leks leave the planet as slave girls than for any other reason.

well Ryloth could be similar to Afganistan (Very poor and primitive, yet it was(/is) one of the major producers of opium).

[NecronLord]

Yeah. If Afganistan exported belly dancers as slaves to the rest of the middle east, it'd be just like Ryloth.

[Cykeisme]

Apparently, more Twi'leks leave the planet as slave girls than for any other reason.

And those males that leave tend to do so due to involvement in organized criminal activities, which is hardly surprising considering their main trade is in illegal mind-altering substances.

It's truly a sad state that their people are in.
