^ ^ Yes, thank you for specifying the species. I did point out earlier that you can still see the "Defel" in the first shot of the cantina. However, his awesome close-up (seen in the 4th screenshot, above) has been replaced by the lizard smoking a pipe.

I can almost understand replacing the angle on Lav Sivrak (the Shistavanen, seen in the final screenshot, above), because that looks like a mask -- although they might have animated it a bit to make it more lifelike. But replacing the Defel is unforgiveable in my opinion because that is just an awesome, iconic shot.

Wow, I was really hoping for an explanation as to why the wolfman was replaced. They also changed the creature the wolfman growls at! I call shennanigans!

Kabe. An alcoholic Chadra-Fan pickpocket? She may not be the deadliest Cantina scum, but short, cute and somewhat furry will almost always earn my vote.

My vote goes for Lak Sivrak the Shistavanen and The worm thing(I forgot its name and species), they have a pretty interesting if weird/morbid back-story. raised_brow

Think that's wierd, check out the bartender Wuher. He takes Greedo's remains and makes a drink that Jabba absolutely loves.

My favorite: Damn I don't know his/her name... And Damn again I don't know how to import pictures from URL...

Well The creature is set just in the left of Solo/Chewie's table. Can be seen after the departure of 2jedi, when troopers come in the area. It looks like a cow without horns. I do fancy it just because of it's cow resemblance. Completely under the charm! Do anybody can tell what is it's specie, name, EU agenda if it even exists ?

Definitely the Ithorian, followed closely by the band.

It could be Takeel, a Snivvian.

Yes! Thanks CaptainYossarian. That's the one.
I remember that as a child my favorites were the Biths.

We used to call him Snaggletooth. He's pretty cool, and was one of the four Cantina Creatures Kenner made into action figures in 1978 (which also included Greedo, Walrus Man and Hammerhead). When I usedto play with my figures, I usually made Snaggletooth into a Rebel spy, but I don't know the character's "real" EU persona.

Wookieepedia posted:
Takeel was a Snivvian mercenary and burned-out spice addict who frequented Chalmun's Cantina, looking for employment. He was also known by the nickname "Hunchback". Takeel at times worked for Durga Besadii Tai, Jabba Desilijic Tiure, and the Galactic Empire, and earned his reputation as a double-crosser from his habit of turning over lawbreakers (including former partners) to Imperial law enforcement.



I personally think he would've been cooler as a Rebel spy. It could be like Tommy Chong as 007.
