I'm tempted by Noghri due to their seemingly inate ninja-like skills. As close to a ninjas your going to get without being force sensative.

Zabrak for me; horns check, receding hair line check, elaborate facial tatooes check. With latent force sensitivity for the win. I mean seriuosly their humans with horns on their heads.

The only reason I didn't pick Ssi-Ruuk is because I loathe their culture, and they're almost never found outside of their tiny Imperium.

I would chose whatever race Yoda is, because all examples seen have been very powerful force-users and/or high ranking Jedi. Failing that i'd be a Hutt, because despite their criminal dealings they are a race with considerable history and power.

Nice choice. But I myself would go with a Dark Trooper war droid. Keep the humanoid frame and manual dexterity and such.

Have the Chiss ever been shown as Force-users, in any of the canon? If so, a Chiss - Force optional, though welcome.

If not, likely a Wookie. One really can say a thousand words with one artfully hurled heavy object at high speed. Force again optional, though welcome.

I'd choose a wookie myself. The limited speech ability would suck, but nothing that a simple translator driod wouldn't fix.

For a droid, how about a world devastator?

Now THATS a choice for a Droid! Think big dude, think big!

Oh, and after looking at the choices, Im guessing I'll go for Cathar. Not quite Anime style CatGirl(boy) But close enough :D

Hm...

I've got to say I'm giving very serious consideration to whatever the heck Shaak Ti was.

That said, I'm gonna have to go with the Nelvaan - granted, they may not have been too advanced technologically, but they appear to possess physical capabilities greater than those of standard humans as a natural trait (judging from the manhood ritual that Anakin interrupted), and odds are that by the time of the EU there are probably at least a few Nelvaan warriors running around the galaxy.

Also, blue-furred wolf-people just automatically get a bonus.

Twi'lek, so I can have some bomb ass head tail tattoos like the chick from the Sith Academy in KOTOR. :twisted:

My other choice would be an Ewok. Why? The bliss of ignorance stemmed from lack of technology. It sounds dumb, but the denizens of Endor have a special appeal. If I was one of them, I can chop wood and swing from vines, gather food, hunt, and live the Ewok life. All while looking cute!!

She was also sexy. :twisted: OT: Actually, is there a real backstory behind Sev'rance appearance in the Clone Wars, how did she get in the CIS?

If I had to choose it' probably be a Selonian. Otters are already awsome, being space faring alien otters just seals the deal. :P :twisted:

Here's her Wookiepeida Entry.

Presumably, she was exiled from the Chiss Ascendancy under circumstances similar to Thrawn's own banishment, perhaps even stemming from the same incident.

Technically, if we take the Bounty Hunter's Tales, you can do one better. Pick a copy of IG-88 ... the one who was in the DS2 computer, for instance. Hello, planet-smashing superlaser!

"But the DS2 was destroyed!", you cry?

Fuck that. If I was the DS2, I'd suck Palpatine (and everyone else, for that matter) out an airlock, waste the Imperial fleet, smash the Rebels and leave. It'd be fun to wander the galaxy in a nigh-invicible battle station.

And yes, it is pretty much the ultimate wank. I'm just saying it'd be funny as hell.

Human Replica Droid.

Just make sure the brain is downloadable, and I'm set for a good eternity. Could be fun as well.
