When Rey enters the Mirror Cave on Ahch-To, she sees many versions of herself repeated. This vision is in response to her questions about her heritage. But what if that is her heritage, herself. If Rey was some kind of experiment by the Emperor, and if she’s a clone of some sort, the cave would have answered her question, she is her heritage. And the Emperor having this experiment could mean he was trying to create and clone force sensitive beings before his demise, possibly to extend his own life after death.

The poster can be viewed below.

How could it be that general grievous didnt have the force but could let his lightsabers work.

Lightsabers only work by force users right?

I heard the news about the footage and is rey going to turn to the dark side because i really don't want her to it's has to be a vision or a nightmare like luke had in the cave of evil on dagobah right?

Thank you all so very much

I remember joining this fandom as an immature, idiot and a lunatic

Then I learned from my mistakes (I’m referring to the I’m rewatching the last Jedi post) now thanks to the criticism I have become a better and more

(as much as I hate to admit it) like-able human being

I have grown thanks to you amazing people (and gonk cow worshipers) and I owe you this

As always

May the force be with you

Good morning/afternoon/evening wherever you are in the galaxy and Welcome to my seventh Creature Feature. if you liked my earlyer Creature Features then this is a must read for this is a TRIPLE Creature Feature!!!

Before i start i want to thank you for all the support i’ve been getting. and i want to make up for the last three Creature Features i’ve missed, one for today one for yesterday and one for last week.

Ok so if you don’t know what the Petranaki arena is: it’s the arena in Attack Of The Clones where Anakin, Padmé and Obi wan were to be executed, so anyway Let’s Begin!!!

The Acklay:

Let’s start with the biggest of the trio the Acklay; the praying mantis monster.

The Acklay has both reptilian and crustacean traits.

It’s originally from the planet Vendaxa however it was often transported to other planets to fight in arenas like in AOTC.

They where way more powerfull and less powerfull then you think they are when you saw attack of the clones (or didn’t in which case, i would recomend doing so).

They where more powerfull then you thought because they have three eyes that could see very well in the dark, are amphibious so they could both swim under water for a very long time and could walk on land, they could grow their stomach when needed, they had pain receptors in the form of tiny hairstrands covering their body and not in their body itself which means that if you where to say cut off a limb they would feel less pain then other species and on some very rare cases an Acklay could be force-sensitive and could train themselves to use the force and shoot Force lightning out of their freaking mouths!

On the other hand, even though they could see better in the dark they where near blind, because they where reptilian their belly’s where really soft and vulnarable, had very small stumachs and would starve to death very quickly.

The look is based on a request by George Lucas: a combination of a praying mantis and a raptor (lobster features got added later on). the designers used dry fruits and vegetables to capture the texture of the acklay’s skin. the Acklay’s sound is a combination of a dolphin and a pig.

And that covers the Acklay.

The Reek:

Alright next up is the Reek; the rhino like beast with black and red skin.

They where a very very common species that could be found on Ylesia, Iridonia, Kashyyyk, Ithor, Tatooine, Saleucami and the Codian Moon.

Now the fact that they where aggressive carnivores is wrong (well, mostly), you see, they where herbivores but where fed meat in arenas causing their skin to turn red and causing them to be much more aggressive. however they could not thrive on meat and where given just the right amount of plants to keep them up and running.

They walked in herds and where very protective and would fight violently with their horns to protect their herd.

And now for the subspecies

• The Iridonian Reek

As the Zabrak invented space travel the Reeks caught their attention because they would be perfect as war mounts! so they where transported and bred on Iridonia and they where fed plants to keep them in their strongest state. this caused their skin to turn grey and along with that the Zabraks decorated them with tatoos. because of evolution, their horns grew larger and pointy-er.

• The ithorian Reek

The ithorian reeks where basically the pacifist reeks they where way larger and stronger but not aggressive, had yellow skin and smaller horns.

• The Kashyyykian Reek

The Kashyyykian Reeks also known as the Ryyks is my personal favourite.

When the Reeks where brought to Kashyyyk most of them died out because of climate change and the predators. but the few that did survive got the body of an Iridonian Reek x2 and poison tipped horns.

And now we just have one Creature left to Feature

The Nexu:

Last but not least is the Nexu; the tiger, porcupine, spider amalgamation.

These guys originated from the planet Cholganna and there where different breeds of these but the one you see in AOTC specifically is the forrest nexu because it was the only one with an extra pair of eyes (that where infrared for use in the dark).

And where also used for security on planets such as Malastare.

Their tails would be used to swing from tree to tree and split into two so the could have better grip on the trees.

They had a low stamina, cubs where born white and a particularly stealthy race as the black nexu wich was also one of the rarest.

A funny behind the scenes fact is that the animation team nicknamed the nexu in AOTC “bad kitty”.

My question to you are the following

• What do you think about the force sensitive acklays?

• What’s your favourite Reek subspecies?

• Would you take a herbivorous Reek as a pet if you could?

• Any other thoughts?

• Any Suggestion on other creatures to feature?

A nexu.

A reek.

An acklay.

When do we get to see TROS footage which was shared at d23?!

Personally my favorite is either Vader Immortal or KotOR.

It is said that the Obi-Wan series is going to take place in 11 BBY. However, the picture published by Stephen Stanton indicates that the series will take place in 12 BBY. Which one is true?

Theoretically cybernetics could keep someone alive forever as long as they were maintained correctly or are some parts of humans unable to be replaced or aided so would just lengthen their lifespan not make them immortal?
