It's that time again! Time for a new edition of A Padawan's Journal from author Maya Kaathryn Bohnhoff in which writing about alien species is discussed. Check out the excerpt below and click here for the full read.

"Now the GFFA has a lot of alien races in it. George Lucas clearly indulged his dearest fantasies when creating his cosmopolitan galactic culture, and as a writer who’s been allowed to play in that culture, I’m profoundly glad he had such a good imaginaton. He provided the templates for aliens whose brains were augmented by head-tails (Nautolans and Twi’lek), aliens who used pheromones to manipulate others (Falleen and Zeltron), aliens who evolved from insectoid life-forms, reptilian life-forms, amphibian life-forms, and on and on."


Next time, Bohnhoff will dive into communication experiences within the GFFA.
