The Movies

Few things are as graceful as a female Twi'lek in motion. This beautiful image has forever doomed generations of young Twi'leks into servitude, as the wealthy and corrupt have taken to brandishing Twi'leks as badges of prestige.

Expanded Universe

The Twi'lek s use their head-tails, or lekku, when they speak their native tongue of Twi'leki.

Behind the Scenes

The first Twi'lek seen in the Star Wars saga is Bib Fortuna , Jabba the Hutt 's majordomo in Return of the Jedi . Actor Michael Carter had to undergo a lengthy make-up session to transform him into the pasty-faced henchman.
