I dont know why but I love Rodian eyes. It's like staring into the depths of space

[dakegalcyon]

Species share clothing all the time. Look at Han and Lando.

[tomhetterscheid]

Could you please do the Mirilians next? I'm a huge fan

[figrindantatooine]

Awesome video series. You do it so good. I love learning about all the Star Wars species and you do it in short info filled vids, keeping it interesting and not going into every last detail. Please make more. I would like to see Ugnaughts, Porgs, Bith most of all ( my favorite alien in Star Wars) and others. Keep up the fantastic work. I will look through your channel for more.
May the Force be with you always.

@ 0:20 we see 2 guys looking like Greedo.
If you played the game Star Wars Uprising you get an answer to the question "why do they all dress the same?" In the game, you can find or buy outfit parts and piece them together or mix-match them to customize your own look. The classic Smuggler outfit (Han Solo's outfit) can be collected and a purple-skinned female Twilek is seen wearing the exact outfit as Han. So if you look at the end of Empire Strikes Back and Lando appears to be in Han's outfit... maybe Lando is just wearing the classic Smugglers gear?
I just wanted to point that little fun fact out to be helpful.

Make a video about the mon calamari species

[bobmoon]

Thank you for doing this video, I have been wanting to learn more about this species.

[Magneme]

I would love a video on the kaminoans, as I feel that, in legends at least, their society and history is very interesting.

[davidthewhale]

Can you do humans
We obviously know the biology but I want to know the history behind humans in star wars

[shanewel]

I'd still enjoy hearing non canon references like you have with other species. Love the species videos

[directorkrennic]

The only thing you need to know about them is, they shoot second.

[brineherotg]

Huulik and windu weren’t the only jedi with a purple lightsaber. Ph’ton wielded a purple lightsaber sometimes

[TheREALAvengerr]

Karbin (from the first Darth Vader comic series) also had a purple lightsaber. Not a jedi, but still had one!

[Drace]

Rodians are reptillian? I always thought they are insect like?

[prorillex]

I read once a comic where they had like this sort of "arena game" where they had two armies, with swords blasters grenades etc, and two generals coming from a rodian house, leading the armies, they battled till one army won, and that became the "ruller house" of Rodia...now that was indeed a game, not a war because they were doing it often, like a presidential campaign, idk tell me if u seen this as well

[starwarsnerd]

Rodians are a great example of how Star Wars is (thankfully) starting to move away from the "Planet of Hats" Trope.

Early Star Wars stuff really emphasized the "All Rodians are Bounty Hunters" angle. It was said that the only reason a Rodian joined Rouge Squadron was so she could hunt. Even Leia and Mon Mothma made some nasty comments about them.

But now? Padme was friends with a Rodian Senator. They appear alot as normal Lothal citizens on Rebels. And in Shattered Empire Leia writes letters to the family of a dead Rodian medic.

[lewiswatkins]

Do the kamino closers species next that would be good

[deaconpoole]

Have you made a video about Wookie history?? That would be awesome! :D

[zoharhartuv]

[thomaswhite]
