Shadda-Bi was a language of the Shadda-Bi-Boran species on the Outer Rim planet Shadda-Bi-Boran.[1] The name N'a-kee-tula meant "sweetheart" in the language.[3]
Behind the scenes
The Shadda-Bi-Boran language was indirectly mentioned in a deleted scene from the prequel trilogy film Star Wars: Episode II Attack of the Clones, written and directed by George Lucas.[4] The scene was included in the film's novelization by R. A. Salvatore,[2] published on April 23, 2002,[5] before the film's premiere on May 16 later that year.[6] The language was later identified as Shadda-Bi in The Essential Atlas, a 2009 reference book written by Daniel Wallace and Jason Fry.[1]
