A sentient species was distinguished by their tall eyestalk and solid eye perched atop their head, with a large, pointed ear also extending outward from each side, as well as a wide mouth with pronounced lips, what seemed like bristly hair growing from chin, and bony necks that folded inward.[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.
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]
