Boma (species)

Bomas were large sentient species, standing at about five feet tall, and covered with brown fur. Oeeta was a Boma. They did not speak Basic.

Behind the scenes

 * Boma are described as being a cross between a brown bear and a guinea pig.


 * In the first draft to Episode IV, Lucas created the name Boma as a possible replacement name for Chewbacca.


 * "Boma beasts" appeared in the Tales of the Jedi comic series as dangerous non-sentient creatures on Onderon. It is unclear whether the name of that species (who do not resemble the sentient Boma) was a homage to Lucas's draft scripts.

Appearances

 * Adventures of the Starkiller, Episode I: The Star Wars
