The title of this article is conjectural.

Although this article is based on official information from the Star Wars Legends continuity, the actual name of this subject is pure conjecture.

A sentient species was distinguished by the large, thin, curved head crest that extended from their nose, up and over the top of their cranium, and tapering off at their nape, able to be pierced seemingly without issue.[1] By 22 BBY,[2] a member of this species had been a Jedi of the Jedi Order, well known enough to have multiple busts of them displayed around the Jedi Archives.[1]

Behind the scenes

This species' original maquette.

This species' original maquette.

The species first appeared as a bust in the 2002 film Star Wars: Episode II Attack of the Clones.[1] This design was originally created as a maquette bust by John Knoll and team,[3] including Robert E. Barnes,[4] to serve as a potential design for the Besalisk Dexter Jettster, presented alongside twenty-three other species sculptures for George Lucas to choose from. Though Lucas would eventually request to combine two of the other head sculpts to better accommodate his vision,[3] a handful of the unselected species maquettes would be recycled, with some like this one turned into busts to fill the Jedi Archives.[1]
