This was such a fun project to work on, and is an incredible show! This guy, seen on Ghorman was another 3d printed mold designed by @brianbestfx, that I reinforced with fiberglass for running in foam latex. All work done for Neal Scanlan's creature shop, with Kenny Wilson as Moldshop HOD." (backup link)

The Namara were a sentient species that existed in the galaxy. Silvasu Fi, Wini Eres, and Xonr were all notable members of this species.

Biology and appearance

The Namara[5] were a sentient species distinguished by their black eyes and downward-turning horns that extended from the sides of their heads.[1]

In the galaxy

During the Imperial Era, Silvasu Fi, a member of the species, served the Cloud-Riders as they stole supplies from the Empire and Crimson Dawn in an effort to fuel a rebellion.[3] Another Namara, the bounty hunter Xonr, worked for the Bounty Hunters' Guild and tracked down the rogue hunter Beilert Valance in an attempt to eliminate him, but was killed by the cyborg on Coruscant.[2]

During the New Republic era in 9 ABY,[6] a member of the species was present on Nevarro, walking by the Mandalorian bounty hunter Din Djarin[7] and later chatting with a fellow human.[8] When Din Djarin and Grogu were searching for Jedi to reunite the Child with its kind, a Namara could be seen amongst an audience watching a pair of Gamorreans fight.[9]

Around 34 ABY,[10] at least two female Namaras were present on Canto Bight during Rose Tico and Finn's search for the Master Codebreaker. One walked by Dobbu Scay and the astromech droid BB-8 as the former attempted to use the droid as a slot machine.[1]

The species made their debut in the 2017 film Star Wars: Episode VIII The Last Jedi, directed by Rian Johnson.[1] Artist Jake Lunt Davies designed the species for the film and revealed as such in an post on Instagram. Though he himself was unaware of the species' name, or if it had been named, Leland Chee responded and advised that they had named the species "Namara". This name was provided to the developers of Star Wars: Datapad,[5] a 2019 mobile game for use in Disneyland, though it did not get used in the final product.[11]

This holo-dancer in episode 1 of Andor was an alien species I'd originally designed for the casino in TLJ (➡️2). Other versions appeared in Solo as cloud rider Silvasu Fi (➡️3) and hanging out with Lando at a Sabaac game (➡️4). In the Mandalorian you can see one at the Gamorrean fight (➡️5) and another making shady deals on the streets (➡️6). The only sketch I have to share is this (➡️5) featuring one I did for TROS. Despite a now healthy outing in the SW galaxy, her species still remains nameless 🙁 Maybe I'm wrong - help me out @holocronkeeper" (screenshot) (response by Leland Chee (@holocronkeeper) (comment on September 28, 2022): ("We passed along a bunch of species names for the Galaxy's Edge Datapad app. This one we were calling Namara.")

Star Wars: Galactic Atlas dates the events of Return of the Jedi to 4 ABY, meaning that The Mandalorian is set in 9 ABY.
