do you know what would be the official title of the husband of the queen of naboo? would he be called a king or a prince or a royal consort or something else?

I cannot find any examples of rulers of Naboo with spouses, so I couldn’t say for sure what naming system they use. In real life, from what I can tell, the queen’s husband would likely be referred to as a prince or prince consort. There are examples of him being given the title of king, but they are rarer. Personally, I would go off of real-life titles, but I am far from an expert on those and I would advise doing a bit more research into them before deciding on one.

Sorry I couldn’t be more help. Good luck!

Do you know of any famous literature within the SW universe? Like, is there a well-known author or novel that everyone knows the name of?

There’s a book called The Fall of the Sun that was famous, but there’s no information as to when or where it was famous or what it was about. There are also a few known bestselling books around 23 BBY: Carving the Republic: The Real Story of Count Dooku, The Lost Twenty: Dooku’s Rise, Warm Thoughts for Invertebrates, Kholemi Elaru, and Night Mynock. Assumedly, a lot of people would have known these titles around the Rise of the Empire era. Only the contents of the first two are known.

As for authors, Erwithat, the Corellian who wrote The Fall of the Sun, was one famous author. Many well-known politicians such as Palpatine, Mon Mothma, and Finis Valorum also wrote books, but they were probably not particularily known for that.

Hope that helps!

do they have something like iv drips? I know hypos are a thing but say, if a character was out of it for a while and woke up in a medbay, would they be connected to something?

Yep, IV drips exist and they function the same as in the real world. It is worth noting that an alien character may not be hooked up to an IV in a medbay either because it’s physically too difficult (or impossible) to insert the needle into a blood vessel, or because the only drips available are toxic to the species. Intolerances aside, a character would probably wake up connected to an IV sugar solution drip or, if they were unconscious for a while, a water drip.

What Species To Choose For Your Star Wars OC: Volume 2 (text only)

pomrania:

Text-only version of the Star Wars OC species selector (volume two) by @thefoodwiththedood

Answer the first question, then follow the number at the end of your selection to your next question; keep doing that, until you get a species.
For more information on a given species, check the original post for links, or just search Wookieepedia.

0. Alright, first question: How Human do you want your OC to be?

  • Almost entirely human, save for some minor differences with their biology or appearance; I don’t want to get too crazy with this, after all! (1)
  • Mostly human, but with some other features being prevalent; something with a human face, but distinctly alien (2)
  • Somewhat human, but with an alien face, features, and anatomy – like an alien with human proportions (3)
  • Only human as far as their humanoid body shape (head, arms, and legs on a central torso) ; something almost entirely alien (4)
  • I want something weird and crazy, with hardly any human features – humans are overrated, anyways (5)

After how popular the first iteration of this flowchart got (thank you all so much for that, by the way, it’s really awesome that it helped so many people out), I was inspired to create a second volume, with even more species and resources than the first. Well, after a month or so of work, it’s finally here! Just in time for the 40th Anniversary of Star Wars: A New Hope, here’s “What Species To Choose For Your Star Wars OC: Volume 2″!

For this new version, I upped the ante with everything. I went from including 75 species to a whopping 150 (which is still only scratching the surface of the full list, I’m afraid), and I tried my best to include more species from “The Clone Wars”, “The Force Awakens”, and “Rogue One” as well. Not only that, but down below I’ve included more resources as well: in addition to each species’ Wookieepedia articles, I’ve provided (where available) videos of the species in action, informational videos, and name generators, all to give you as much info as possible for your OC. Furthermore, among some other minor formatting tweaks, I’ve also added the option to choose answers via dice rolls (thanks to  @empress-only-in-name for that idea), for anyone who would prefer a more random choice in species. Finally, I think it’s also worth mentioning that the wonderful @pomrania re-created the flowchart in a text-based format here, if you’d like to check that out.

Let me know what you all think of the new version! I tried my best to take into account everyone’s requests and suggestions, so hopefully it all worked out to your liking! Do let me know if there’s anything I can add or change, though; it will be a while before I make a Volume 3, if ever, but I’d be happy to tweak this version if it helps. Also, if you end up using this to make a character, please consider either tagging me or using #StarWarsOCFlowchart so I can see it; I don’t care about getting credit or anything, I just want to see what you guys come up with!

But yeah, I think that’s all I have to mention! I hope this helps some people out!

The sequel is here!

What sort of food do people in the GFFA eat (besides military rations and bantha stew)? Are there certain foods only found in the Core or only in the Outer Rim?

Basically, people in the Star Wars universe eat all the same things we do, and most dishes are based on dishes we already have. The variations are usually on individual ingredients, in which case the Earth ingredient is replaced by a similarily-named in-universe one (for example, bantha tartare – steak tartare, but made with the common in-universe replacement for steak). Here’s a bunch of known foods from Wookieepedia. This list can be organized by ingredient, culture, type of food and more, so you should be able to find a food for any occasion you need.

I would say that, besides those dishes that only a certain species eats and wouldn’t be served in most eating establishments, you’d be hard-pressed to find a food that you can only get in one region of the galaxy. (Even then, that’s more a food that you can only get on a single planet, rather than a characteristic of the entire region). Foods that are popular with one species are usually also popular with similar species (e.g., several Hutt foods are also eaten by other carnivorous species, even Humans), and planets such as Coruscant with a large alien population tend to have every sort of restaurant imaginable. It may well be impossible to find a dish that is served only in the Outer Rim.

One exception could be those foods that are so expensive that they are only served in top-class restaurants on worlds frequented by those with enough money to buy them. A dish like that could be difficult or impossible to get outside the Core Worlds, especially if it’s a specialty of one specific restaurant or restaurant chain. I’m not aware of any specific dishes like this, however Melahnese food is generally considered expensive.

I hope that’s helpful, and good luck!

What’re some planets like Illum known for having Kyber crystals, as well as temples dedicated to letting force users obtain them?

Ilum’s Crystal Caves were the main source of crystals for the Jedi from millenia before the Cold War, all the way up to the end of the Clone Wars. However, the Adegan crystals that grow on Ilum can also be found on Dantooine (in a place also called the Crystal Cave), Halm, Mygeeto, and Ossus. The latter three planets do not have Jedi Temples, however, and the Great Jedi Library on Ossus was abandoned around 4000 BBY.

Jedha, of course, had large stores of kyber crystals before the Empire started mining them. They were guarded in the Temple of the Kyber in Jedha City.

Christophsis, while it doesn’t have any temples, was also an exporter of kyber crystals before the Empire came to power, as the crystals that grew all over its surface could be used in lightsabers.

In the First Order, the most important ships had weapons that used kyber crystals obtained from an unnamed source in the Unknown Regions.

There are many, many more planets on which other crystals grow that can and have been used in lightsabers, but these are often not classified as kyber crystals. They also tend to be very rare, and are only mentioned in Legends. If you need a place with both accessible crystals and a Jedi Temple, Jedha or Dantooine would be your best bet.

I hope that helps!
