What is the best non-human species in Star Wars?

[Jedi_Master]

There are too many to create a workable poll... so comment away.

My vote?

The Mon Cala.

Amazing star-ships, a very "alien" look which required a effort to design and implement, noticeably alien speech pattern and breathing, a very memorable role (Admiral Ackbar) and a complete lack of backstory in the OT.
They just showed up, everyone accepted that they were part of the Rebel Alliance, one of them was in command and away we go.

 

[DimesDan]

Ewoks or Gungans.

 

[Jedi_Master]

To be fair if you subtract Jar-Jar and the horrible fake "island" accent, the Gungans weren't all that bad. They were very brave, had a beautiful (if horribly impractical) underwater city, and great "natural" tech.

 

[CorporalClegg]

Lekku Lekku!

 

[Awesome Possum]

Ewoks, mainly the bad ass lumberjack one from the first Ewok movie.

 

[Shawnster]

Yoda. He's the only example of his race we've seen. I'd love to know more about this species.

From a design standpoint, I've always liked the Togruta (Ahsoka's race). The head horn/tentacles are interesting, and the facial designs are cool.

Dathomirians

Nightsisters, Darth Maul and Savage Opress rule!

 

[Greylock Crescent]

Those are pretty cool.

Jawas are pretty fun.

But the best are probably the Wookies.

 

[Pondwater]

I'm going to have to go Wookie!

 

[The Wormhole]

Ithorians!

 

[Tim Walker]

I thought the jawas were done well. It was an example of doing more with less.

 

[CorporalClegg]

Utinni?

 

[Venardhi]

My first instinct is to say Falleen. Xizor and Shadows of the Empire as a whole were some of my favorite additions to the Star Wars galaxy back in the old Pre-PT days.

Yoda. He's the only example of his race we've seen. I'd love to know more about this species.

There was also "Yaddle" in TPM

Dathomirians

Nightsisters, Darth Maul and Savage Opress rule!

I haven't watched enough Clone Wars apparently, last I checked Maul was a Zabrak. No?

 

[CorporalClegg]

Maul is a Zabrak. Dathomirians are Zabrak/human offspring.

 

[Venardhi]

Yet, some are pure Human and pure Zabrak? I remember the Witches and Tenel Ka all being Human. Did they just ignore the previous material when they presented that stuff in The Clone Wars?

 

[TEACAKE'S PLEATHER DOME]

I have always thought Bothans were hot.

 

[EnsignRicky]

I was kinda always partial to the Jawas.

 

[Reverend]

It's cliché, but I've always thought the Twi'leks had a look that felt unique to Star Wars.

Maul is a Zabrak. Dathomirians are Zabrak/human offspring.

Did they ever officially settle that whole mess?

Who knows. But it's what Wookie Wiki is going with so...
