Twi'lek Species COMPLETE Breakdown (History, Bio, Culture) | Star Wars Species

The Twi'lek species would go from one of countless isolated species in the Outer Rim, to one of the most popular species in the entire galaxy. See how the Twi'lek found their place in the galactic economy. One of the longest and saddest story of any Star Wars species. See how the ancient Rakatan Infinite Empire may have helped create the vast diversity we see in the Twileks today, and how the Hutt Cartel, Old Republic and Clone Wars era governments all kept this species down.

In regards to their extreme variations of colors and patterns, it could very well be just be the fact that they're naturally predisposed to variation on a genetic level. irl there's a snake species called the variable kingsnake, which even without selective breeding will produce clutches of babies that all come out with wildly different colors and patterns, including ones that look nothing like either of their parents

The Google answer to "Why are Twi'leks so attractive?" didn't mention their vibrant colors. I think that's a major part of their fame. They wouldn't be so iconic with just normal human skin colour, I think.

[@tranngockha6562]

I agree 👍 I think the reason we don't mention color is because it was so obvious to us that our brain forgot about it. Like how if we Google what human need for survival we mention firemaking kit, tent, rope or hunting knife and not oxygen

[@DonaldRumpusDumpus]

They just got them dumpys tho

[@IAmEvilTree]

One theory I have to explain the differences in Twi'lek biology is that it's down to thousands years of crossbreeding with humans and other races. With the majority of Twi'leks going off-world being female, people taking note they can reproduce with other species and the sheer timescales we're talking about I believe that a good number of Twi'leks, mostly off world but some on Ryloth, have alien (to them) genes. This leads each of them to have slightly different appearances depending on their ancestry.

Not to mention what region of Ryloth a particular Twi'lek came from originally. Northerns could be blue for example and after generations of breeding together it just became random

So clearly the real reason for the huge variations between twileks is just because of lack of attention to detail between different writers/artists throughout star wars history.

I feel like they weren't original intended to be the same species, because aside from the head tails they have nothing in common

[@WasKE395]

I can completely understand the Twi'lek's decision after first contact. Ryloth was a death trap. I think more than anything the initial Twi'lek slaves were sold for a chance at living in a place where they wouldn't fear death at every corner. The philosophy that they could find their place as slaves and live better lives than they would on Ryloth makes great sense. It wasn't until the spice trade really picked up that the bigger problems started. Slavery and drug addiction is a far worse combination than either on their own multiplying the leverage an overlord can have against a group of people. There is also the argument that the gamble paid off. Considering that according to your video Twi'leks are the second most numerous species across the galaxy. They survived and thrived almost as much as humans. The ancient twi'leks won. Prostitution, dancing, service industry. Depending on the culture it might not be a universal evil. Historically it was often an easy way for women without a husband to survive and thrive by themselves. Doesn't mean that Ryloth and Twi'leks didn't get exploited but compared to surviving on Ryloth and maybe dying out without Republic intervention is not that hard to argue for. It's a big game of what ifs in my opinion. Would the Twi'leks have been killed by anything from heat storms to the wild life or would they have been able to survive without selling themselves or their children as slaves? Who the flip knows. Not all species can be Togrutas.

[@thaxasaurian]

My theory on why they have different colors, male birds have bright colors to attract potential mates. So in theory they use their skin colors to get the attention of someone whom they have romantic feelings for.

[@firewalker5778]

a possible theory but perhaps we can attribute this more to a zebra with no one zebra having the same pattern as another

[@A_Black_Sheep94]

Probably originally started with whatever region the Twi'lek was from and after millenia of inbreeding it came to the point anyone could come out any color.

Birds all have the same color skin. Feathers are what is colored on birds.

tbh the story of Ryloth makes me agree with Star Trek about the Federation's Prime Directive: absolutely no interaction with pre-space travel societies. So much of the Twi'leks' entire history is dominated by exploitation because the Republic dropped down on a society still reliant on windmills and started introducing stuff like inter-planetary travel and the galactic slave trade.

[@wikipediaintellectual7088]

It might be possible that the twi’lek were simply modified by the Rakatans to be capable of interbreeding with other species, as well as attractive through the use of universally enticing hormones. Perhaps their thought process was that if they couldn’t be force sensitive as pure Rakatans, they could regain that sensitivity by breeding with those who were.

[@shadowsnake5133]

You know, I'm actually shocked that the empire gave ryloth more freedom than the republic, kinda weird. Sure, it wasn't much, but it was more freedom, it's kinda weird. I mean sure, the rebels were the best for them, but the empire was better than the repubic.

[@pretzelbomb6105]

The empire was born of the republic’s failures, Ryloth was a prime example of this.

[@davidlacoste]

One of the reasons the Republic fell was its corruption. Palpatine was able to control a big part of the Senate through corruption, and there were worlds were the end of the Republic did improve the situation. I remember the old Star Wars D6 RPG (not canon any more) mentioning how the Empire was very tough on the corruption of its own military officers and other administrative execs.

Even if they said 'no' and the Republic respected that, someone else would surely find them and be less 'nice' about it anyway. Really it's the Republic that could have found other options. )

This is possibly one of the most underrated and underutilized Star Wars alien races. I actually like this alien race in Star Wars my favorite wish you could play as them. More often in the games I bought some of the few games that let. You not only play as one but customize the color (Talking about you Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy.) Which had bad controls and gave up because I couldn't put myself through the torture. Of bad clunky movement and hit detection with not just firearms but the lightsaber as well. I eventually broke down and bought Force Unleashed and typed in the codes Aayla and Secura. Both codes unlock Aayla Secura and the green Twilek bounty hunter in Force Unleashed. It's a shame there isn't a Bethesda style Star Wars open world RPG that let's you customize characters race and appearance along with how you want to play. Be it armor and firearms or robes and lightsaber. I'd buy it no questions asked along with a really good Boba Fett game.

[@user-ko3vg7fc7o]

Great video!!! I wish there were more in depth videos like this about other species in star wars! Thanks for all the hard work!

[@fukushimarose4802]

Look forward to these videos every week! Great channel!

[@ajabell5058]

Thank you so much for this video. Wonderfully informative.

[@zarfa-de1266]

The togruta and Twi'leks were always my favorite

[@ShimadaHideo]

Aka the space waifus and husbandos

[@jeffreycarman2185]

I love this deep lore. Please make more of these types of videos.

[@friedrudibega6384]

Excellent, non annoying narration. Rare. Great vid.

[@MetaNerdzLore]

Lol thanks. Don't watch the really old vids from a couple years ago idk how people were watching

[@friedrudibega6384]

[@ObscuriaDragunAed]

Not related, but interesting nonetheless, but the twi'lek head tails are called in lekku, while, the Asari scalp (the things that look like head tentacles) are called le'ku...

[@Twinsuns2187]

Thanks for the vid! Love these types of videos. Great stuff!! Thanks meta!

[@joeottsoulbikes415]

Man! This is a really great video. It gave a lot of back ground about the Twilek people I did not know. You went way beyond what I got from the movies and even The Clone Wars. Bib Fortuna was one of my favorite aliens from Star Wars. The Teilek looked more alien than a lot of the action figures other than Hammer Head. I always wished there were more Twilek figures to play with. It was not until I was older and not playing with toys that more came out staring with the Jabba Palace dancing girls. My favorite were Bib Fortuna, Hammer Head, The Cantina Band, Nim Numb. More often than not they as a group would be my heros or bad guys group in a play situation. Can you do a video like this about the people Hammer Head comes from?

Humans, Twi'leks, and Togruta the most famous species in the galaxy

[@fruitylerlups530]

The most bangable

[@sonicgen20]

Humans obviously for one reason. They're much easier to cast in live action movies with out the hassle of make-up, costumes, or cgi.

[@josephlloyd7169]

Thanks for the break down!😊

I love twi'leks. I think everyone should have one.

Gonna be Checkin out everything else you have on your page

[@brycevo]

Twileks are amazing. Great history

[@kevintang2605]

I would like to see a video on the Pelican dropship from HALO if you can do it.

[@CHASEMARC]

i love this race, wish they had more screen time, Darth Talon and Aayla are my favorite.

[@PeterJUren]

Thanks, I have just now finished 4 year's worth of Star Wars videos. The only ones I wasn't interested in were the streaming videos on gaming. I have been very impressed with the quality of your videos - well done. What would I like to see next? How about Yuuzhan Vong species breakdown? Cheers from Australia.

[@bigsakurai4272]

One of my favourite Star Wars species for obvious reasons. Anyhow, I have a question for you Meta. Could you possibly do a video about the razor crest? I think that would be very interesting.

[@flower_girl4983]

*"from thrawn, we learn that Twi'lek are hotter than any other humanoid"* hmm what was thrawn doing checking out the twi'lek women..? *smirks* did he maybe had a thing for hera in another universe
