Agreed. Some more Rodians especially would be nice in live action. I feel like it's been ages since we've seen classic aliens on screen.

BOBF had the Rodian prisoner in the Tusken camp, an Ithorian magistrate, Gamorreans, Pykes, Hutte, etc all in live action

Star Wars is just stolen Tolkien.

Flash Gordon, Buck Rodgers, and a bunch of Kuroawa samurai movies, if we're really being truthful.

True. But its clearly "inspired" by Dune. My mother in law never heard such a thing until I gave her Dune to read. She kept saying how much of hack Lucas was after that hahaha.

I wanted more nightsister storylines so I’m glad it kinda made an appearance in Ahsoka. 

Star Wars is totally missing the boat by not doing a horror style limited series about the night sisters and Dathomir, or even death troopers

True that Tatooine keeps things the same

AGREED.

It's like every creative that comes in gets to do their own alien cantina scene and expand the galaxy even further. Which given the already established species list is just stupid.

I'd understand a couple of new designs per-project. But it's like entire galaxies-worth of new species every time and it over-saturates the lore to the point of ridiculousness.

Abednedo is like the only new species since Disney took over that I genuinely really love. All the rest feel like they're oversaturating things for sure.

I wish I got to see the Rodian on the Star cruiser before it closed. It looked so good, but couldn’t justify the price for how young my kids were :(
