But our species only has so much capacity for such love, so Vulture has gone down the list of these new races (some of which are barely seen in the actual movie) in ascending order of cuteness. An array of new aliens (but in Star Wars, aren’t humans the real aliens, maaaaan?) pop up in the latest installment, The Last Jedi, and the film’s shepherds would love for you to fall in love with all of them.
As part of that commitment to diversity, the creatures have ranged from the saccharine-sweet Ewoks to the Lovecraftian Sarlacc. Ever since Luke Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi walked into the Mos Eisley Cantina to the dulcet tones of Figrin D’an and the Modal Nodes back in A New Hope, the Star Wars franchise has prided itself on the variety of its non-human species.
