If anyone’s writing a Star Wars fic and wants to know the other species in the galaxy to populate the background of your fic, THIS is a good visual guide to use. It’s one long, alphabetized list with a picture of each species and where they’re seen in the movies or other EU material.
It does NOT include any other details or history about the species, so for more in-depth information, Wookiepedia is still your best bet. I use that as well, but since I only wanted a quick glance at what the many sentients look like and where they’re from, this list was more helpful than opening 12 new tabs.
@vadianna this seems like something you should know about.
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
This is HOLY COW incredibly useful. The information is slightly out-of-date, and doesn’t seem to include the stuff from Rebels or TCW (has no Lasat, and no Togruta), but it’s a great reference regardless.
Tagging @writebetterstarwars, and I suppose @pep-no as well; trying to think of people who would want to see this, that don’t follow me.
Reblogging for anyone who needs this!
Info on the Sith is wrong, as is the Noghri. The Noghri appear in many of the books, up to the NJO and possibly beyond. One of the Vong kills one of Leia’s bodyguards early in the series, IIRC. And the Sith weren’t “long vanished” by 4000 BBY. They’re still around ~3600 BBY, per SWTOR and the related books.
Yes, I noticed the bit about the Noghri too. I would guess this list was published before SWTOR came out, as it also doesn’t include any mentions of TCW
