The Aqualish were a sentient species native to planet Ando in the Mid Rim. A mammalian species with insectlike features, the Aqualish were divided into three races. The Aquala possessed flippers instead of humanoid hands, and the Ualaq possessed four eyes, while the Quara had two. The Aqualish developed a reputation for their hardheaded aggression, although this was not a rule. They were independent and resourceful, and were found across the galaxy.

HAPPY SCI-FI FRI, EVERYONE! -- LET'S PARTY LIKE WERE AT MOS EISLEY'S CANTINA.
PIC INFO: Spotlight on a 1978 "STAR WARS" Cantina aliens SW Fan Club poster, artwork by Bill Selby.
OVERVIEW: "This gorgeous painting was used for the iconic Cantina poster produced by Factors Etc. Inc. back in 1978. It was the very first Star Wars Fan Club poster and the art was commissioned by George Lucas himself. The poster is now rare and sought out by collectors. Over the many years, this art has gotten published in numerous books, magazines, and other various merchandising, such as trading cards and lunchbox.
Artist Bill Selby used 35mm color slides that Black Falcon Ltd (Lucas’ company before it became Lucasfilm) provided for reference. "STAR WARS" had been showing in the theaters for eight months when Selby began working on the Cantina poster project. Lucas’ instruction was to add all of the aliens in the cantina sequence into a grand scene. In the preliminary drawing, Selby had more creatures, but subsequently removed some of them because Lucas, limited by time and budget was unhappy with the way several aliens looked in the film's cantina scene."

Krelman was a resident of Mos Eisley, on Tatooine, and a patron of Chalmun’s Cantina. Krelman was infatuated with Ackmena, the night bartender, pursuing her affection. Somewhat theatrical in his demonstrations of love, Ackmena let Krelman down gently. Krelman’s species was distinguishable for drinking from a hole on top of the head.

SPECIES: Moorserian (formerly known as "Plutonian")
ENJOYS: Watching cantina patrons

FILM/CANTINA SCENE/FUN FACT: "The cantina scene was meant to jolt the audience. According to special effects makeup artist, Stuart Freeborn:
"Because [the cantina] was supposed to be a kind of "shock" scene. Everything’s pretty normal up to that point in the film."
