The Huwawans were a sentient species that existed in the galaxy.[1] Brothers Taibik Kajok and Wiltoo Kajok were members of this species.[4]
Biology and appearance
The Huwawans were a bipedal humanoid sentient species distinguished by their tan skin, black hair, and large features. They spoke a language known as Huwawi with multiple dialects, and sometimes required a translation device to communicate with individuals who spoke Galactic Basic Standard.[1]
Species in the galaxy
By 132 BBY,[5] at least two[1] Huwawan[4] brothers[6], Taibik and Wiltoo Kajok, operated a small makeshift landing port on the planet Khofar, once leading visitors on expeditions into the nearby forests and treacherous jungles, though they had long since retired from that line of business.[1]
Behind the scenes

- ↑ The Essential Atlas and Galactic Cartography: Official Discussion (post by jasonfry) on the Jedi Council Forums' Literature board (December 11, 2007): "I wouldn't get your hopes up re alien homeworlds, beyond simple stuff like the Planetnamian species getting a Planetnamia on the map or things Dan and I can account for with a relatively quick reference." (backup link) (screenshot) Jason Fry, co-author of The Essential Atlas and a number of maps in the current Star Wars canon (see a list here), stated his intention to create homeworlds for numerous species based on context implied from their names. This article treats the Huwaw system as the location of one such homeworld with regard to the Huwawan species.
