Diathim

"They live on the moons of Iego, I think."

- Anakin Skywalker

The Diathim (aka "Angels") were mysterious winged beings, either sapient or at least seemingly so, who inhabited the moons of Iego.

Diathim were said by many to resemble female humanoids with wings, though other accounts described them as androgynous, and many spacers saw them as exotic members of their own species. Diathim glowed white to such an extent that making out details on them was difficult. They also emitted a yellow aura. Diathim did not speak or eat. Some people believed them to be the most beautiful creatures in the universe.

Behind the scenes

 * Anakin Skywalker's line "Are you an angel?" was spoofed in the video game Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords by Atton Rand. If the player completes the game three times and plays a female character later, Atton will ask when he first meets the player: "Are you an angel? Aw, I'm just kidding. That's the worst line I've ever used. Hope some poor kid doesn't start using it."
