That alien design looks kind of familiar...

@Forthas - the resemblance is uncanny!

@MalseMarcel - I think using the similar colorful motif makes it more damning.

Idk why, but these look like aliens that would be in Lilo and Stitch

Although there are enough aliens to choose from in the star wars universe, I'm happy they went with a paul bettany looking alien. The fact that the main characters are all very human looking (except the wookie and the droids) helps keeping it watchable

@Kman - Damn me. I've become the thing I hate the most! All jokes aside, I think I'm by far not the only one who thinks this way (about the human protagonists)

Michael K Williams is a pretty cool and decent actor - I wonder why they told him to take a hike.

@Kman - They may have felt uneasy about the response they might receive having a black guy in the role of a ruthless criminal antagonist.

@BIGBMH - I feel like he could play ruthless pretty well too... but, hey, politics

I actually would've preferred an alien villain. For a universe that has such a diversity of species, the films have an oddly small number of non-humans in roles of any importance. It's noticeable after watching characters like Ahsoka, Zeb, and Hera at the forefront in the last two animated series.

A Lasat would have been awesome as a criminal boss! To the mass audience he would have been just another alien, and to every other fella who watched SW animated series it would have been an awesome nod! Also, Lasats are based on early concepts of Chewbacca, so...

Also, i have been slightly disappointed that nobody said "Karabast!" in the movie.

@FrankieDedo - At least they gave us Sam Witwer
