"I know. Viewers don't want so much doom and gloom. So splice in a report about that Twi'lek pop icon dating the shockball star."
―A HoloNet News employee[1]

A Twi'lek individual with yellow skin was a pop icon active during the Republic Era.[1] Around 33 BBY,[3] she[2] was dating a shockball star, a matter that was reported on by HoloNet News. At the HoloNet News relay substation on Ord Mantell, two employees discussing a newscast that involved reports on various issues faced by the Galactic Republic agreed that viewers would not be pleased by the nature of the matters. As such, one employee suggested to their coworker to splice in the report about the Twi'lek pop icon. At the time, the Twi'lek was pictured on one of several screens that displayed the subjects of the newscast.[1]

Behind the scenes

"Too awesome to be contained in just one galaxy"
―Ethan Sacks[4]

The Twi'lek pop icon appeared on a screen in the fourth issue of Star Wars: Jango Fett comic book miniseries, which was written by Ethan Sacks, illustrated by Luke Ross, and published by Marvel Comics[1] on June 19, 2024.[5] Sacks included the character as a reference to Taylor Swift,[4] a singer-songwriter who began dating American football star Travis Kelce in 2023.[6]
