This is the Skiff Guard posterboy, the one that all other Skiff Guards look up to and try to emulate. For years, this character was referred to simply as "Weequay" but that has been determined by the EU gods to now refer to his species, not his name. (Actually, it probably also had something to do with the Weequay Pirates in the new Clone Wars cartoon). Since the ILM production crew nicknamed this alien "Queequeg" (from the character in Herman Melville's Moby Dick) way back in the pre-production days of Return of the Jedi, that now seems to be the new, accepted canonical name for him. |
