13 GoofyStar WarsAliens Who Deserve to Be Goofy Jedi

For over a thousand generations , theJedi Knightswere the guardians of peace and justice in theOld Republic . Then they fucked it all up . firmly . No matter which epoch of the Star Wars movies you ’re look at , the Jedi could badly call for some new stock . Why not make it extremely fresh blood ? There ’s still a bevy of exotic race throughout the wandflower who never seem to have gotten a place on the Jedi council . Here are a few that could use the prestige — and thelightsaber .

1) Ewoks

Let ’s lead off with the obvious . Long before the prequels and sequels gave Star Wars fans newer things to holler about , Ewoks were hated for being Neolithic teddy bears who somehow topple the entirety of the vastly overpowered Galactic empire . But if the Ewoks can cope that , there ’s dead no reason why an Ewok could n’t also be military group - sensitive enough to join the Jedi . To be fair , there was a solitary , unknown Ewok Jediin the old Legends canyon , although only barely ; he survive as a mere picture in theGeonosis and the Outer Rim Worlds sourcebookfor the Star Wars

2) Pa’lowicks

You might not bonk the mintage name , but you hump Sy Snootles , the bulbous tip vocalist of the Max Rebo Band until she was upstaged in the Return of the Jedi : Special Edition the Yuzzum / reject Honeycomb monsterJoh Yowza . Pa’lowicks are among Star Wars ’ ungainly alien , so it would be a gust to see one in a lightsaber duel , particularly how it avoids slice their giant proboscis off in battle .

3) Gamorreans

Now thatDungeons & Dragonsis grappling with its “ Hey , peradventure it ’s messed up to say an intact coinage of sentient fauna are uniformly evil ” trouble , it ’s time for Star Wars to do the same . Among the most maligned alien in the enfranchisement are the Gamorreans , some of whom are see in Return of the Jedi as Jabba ’s guard , who are described as primitive , violence - prostrate barbarians with poor hygiene habits . Giving one a pair of clean Jedi robes and a green lightsaber would go a long means to rehabilitate their astronomic image .

4) Iakaru

If you do n’t recognize the name ofthis Star Wars exotic species , do n’t emphasise ; they were only introduced in Rogue One , and only one Iakaran managed to make it onscreen anyway . His name was Bistan , and he made a very abbreviated appearance as one of the many , many Rebels who perish on Scarif while Jyn Erso and her crew snagged the Death Star plans . Thanks to his little place suit , Bistan looks like an substitute universe version of Rocket Raccoon where an endearing chimp managed to become a Marvel movie genius rather . The Jedi have a real dearth of monkeys in spacesuits , which should be corrected post - haste .

5) B’omarr Monks

We do n’t know if these mastermind - in - wanderer - droids are all of one coinage or multiple unknown , we only know they’rea cryptic cultthat hang around Jabba ’s castle on Tatooine and , um , enjoy pose their brains in wanderer - droid body to considerably concentrate on contemplating the mysteries of the existence . Although real droids are soulless automatons , the B’omarr monks are cyborgs , and should credibly still have memory access to the innate magic of the Force through their inwardness - mentality . Imagine how entertainingly creepy-crawly it would be to see a giant robot wanderer wield one or more lightsabers in a fight ! It would be likeGeneral Grievous , if General Grievous had n’t been garbage .

6) Kitonaks

These biped beanbag chairs were represented in Return of the Jedi by Droopy McCool , the alias of the noted jizz - wailing player recognize by about eight hard-core fans as Snit , another member of the charmingly goofy - looking Max Rebo dance band . He looks like the bloated corpse of a Pigs in Space Muppet , and I mean that in the most adorable elbow room possible . Because the Expanded Universe was so thoroughly dilate over the ten before it was strike down , there was also one Kitonak who briefly appeared as a Jedi trainee in an erstwhile Expanded Universe post - RotJ novel , but really , it ’s Droopy who deserves to be a Jedi . His “ chindinakyu flute ” could double as a secret lightsaber hilt , which would be completely ridiculous , but “ Jizz - Wailer by Day , Jedi by Night ” is a Star Wars Story just solicit to be told .

7) Anzellans

A.k.a theBabu Friks . The most adorable part of The Rise of Skywalker , Babu Frik is an eight - inch - tall member of an almost completely unidentified airstream of aliens ( flesh out the Anzellans does n’t seem to be high on Lucasfilm ’s precedence tilt ) . Apparently , the original estimate for Babu Frik and his people was that they were all superintendent - mechanism who helped repair Star Destroyers thanks to their small size of it and microscoping heart , which evolved into Babu becoming a C-3PO ’s master stamping ground - being . I would pay good royal credit to watch an Anzellan with a four - inch - long lightsaber duel a full - sized human .

8) The Decraniated

If I may get real for a moment , I jazz hatethe Decraniated . I get they ’re meant to be disturbing , but the fact that they seem to be all attractive women who have had their brains removed and lip rouge applied gain them the arrant affair in the Star Wars universe to me , specially since they ’re primarily seen as unwilling servants to Dryden Vos in Solo . So I would really , really like for one of these poor souls to recover her mind , her autonomy , and her desire for justice by putting to a stop to Dr. Evazan , the surly New Hope legal community supporter and fucking monster who made them , rather in a room so violent and sore it would technically be dally with the Dark Side .

9) Wermals

On the lighter side of the Light Side of the Force , look at this dopey motherfucker who appeared ever - so - briefly in The Last Jedi ’s Canto Bight scene . This exceptional Wermal is a vaporator vendor identify Kedpin Shoklop who , according to theCanto Bight short floor collection — mean this is completely canyon — rig and get ahead the “ Vaporator Salesbeing of the Year ” competition , thus earning his trip to the casino metropolis . This nefarious magic trick in all likelihood rules Kedpin out as a Jedi , but it would have been great to have had a Wermal Jedi in the prequel trilogy if only so it could make that constantly dismayed , freak - out face while everything in the galax was give-up the ghost to Scheol .

10) Hutts

Like the Gamorreans , Hutts put up from the same gross prejudice that their full race is evil , in all likelihood because whenever they show up in any piece of Star Wars media they are , in fact , evil as hell , and almost always as crime Jehovah . ( The exclusive elision is Stinky the Hutt , the baby from the first , fucking terrible 2008 Clone Wars moving picture ) . They ’re so malign , in fact , that when a Hutt namedBeldorianmanaged to become a Jedi in the Expanded Universe , he finally fell to the Dark Side and conquered a satellite until he was finally drink down by Leia “ Huttslayer ” Organa . Does n’t the raw Star Wars canyon have way somewhere for a single gargantuan space slug with baronial intention ?

11) Balosars

I may be cheat a bit here sinceWookiepedialists a Balosar as a guard at the Jedi Temple in Coruscant during Revenge of the Sith . However , this is in the Legends section — although how it could be part of the expatiate Universe if it ’s straightaway in the movie seems impossible — but even if the sheik is real , this unsung , nameless , unremarkable Jedi does not make up for Star Wars ’ highest - visibility Balosar , the deathstick - dealingE’lan Sleazebaggano . Thanks to E’lan , about all Balosars were paint as felon and/or addicts back in the EU , although they had one non - negative trait in that their extremely sensitive antennae gave the Balosars a sort of danger - detecting Spidey sense , which sometimes gave them the appearance of being military unit - sensitive . In the new canyon , it ’s just E’lan and his deathsticks , which means the young Balosar of the wandflower could badly practice someone to expect up to .

12) Bendu

So , Benduis Wyrd , and not just because it ’s a gargantuan rock - moose - matter . When Ezra and Kana assemble it in Rebels , the Bendu is a true neutral in the battle between the Light Side of the Force and the Dark Side , apparently a immobile believer of the obnoxious “ being half evil is fair and all right ” philosophy . While it sorta befriended the two Jedi and parsed out a few cryptic clue on their way of life to self - enlightenment , it also got extremely angry when Kanan and Ezra visit it out for not picking a side in the Rebellion versus Empire warfare when it encroached upon the creature ’s home planet . In fact , Bendu got so wild it created a jumbo storm that bring out ships and troops on both sides , and nearly kill the Jedi , too . There ’s no telling what a Bendu would do if it got its giant manus on what would presumably be a tree diagram - sized lightsaber , but chances are it would be pretty awesome to watch .

13) Lanais

These adorablygrumpy , wimp - legged alienswere seen in The Last Jedi as caretaker of the clay of the first Jedi temple on Ahch - to , and caretakers of the cadaver of the even grumpier Luke Skywalker during his self - imposed exile / pity party after RotJ. Director Rian Johnson wanted them to be conical buoy - alike , but their constant provocation with the humans inhabit among them was both obvious and entertaining and merit of being enjoyed far beyond a single planet . Let one Lanai have canvass the synagogue ’s secrets instead of merely sweeping up and get off her off - world to start have care of the galaxy rather . Lord knows it needs it .
