Whilst I was watching Episode III of the Star Wars saga, I saw this scene:

Episode 3 screen capture

To our right of Palpatine there is what appears to be a Twi'lek (opposite Om Free taa).

It's possible she's not a Twi'lek, but either way I was wondering if she was important enough to be named (as most characters are in Star Wars) and if so, what it was?

  • @kevin She's Blue, has her Lekku covered up.

  • @Pureferret Twi'leks aren't all blue, and not all Twi'leks are blue.

She's Pantoran, from Wroona. Her name is Chi Eekway Papanoida and is played by George Lucas' daughter Katie.

She has been mistaken as Twi'lek before (from Wookieepedia):

As recently as June 2008, Papanoida's species was given as Twi'lek on the StarWars.com Databank. An exclusive action figure produced in 2006 also depicts and labels her as a Twi'lek, though this is no longer canon.

Her character also appear in the latest Clone Wars series.

    @Pureferret - I was looking through the script. Nice addition of the mistaken race too. I was just going to add that myself. It appears her race changed (or was actualized) during the course of the Clone Wars series.

  • IIRC this scene is in Episode 3 after Obi-wan and Anakin have returned the rescued Chancellor from General Grievous and Count Dooku on Corruscant.
