Author	Topic: So Humans and Twi'leks Can Interbreed
Robimus Registered: Jul '07	Date Posted: 2/7 7:56pm Subject: So Humans and Twi'leks Can Interbreed
	I'm not entirely positive that this is news, but it was news to me. I had not before this seen a confirmation of breeding between humans and non-humans. Flipping through the latest Star Wars Insider I then noticed an interview in the "Ask Lobot" section of the magazine. Leeland Chee's exact words are: "Some older images from the EU depicted female Twi'leks with human-like ears. We originally considered this as non-continuity, but there is a possibility that they are part human.(Yes, you heard right. Twi'leks and humans can interbreed)." - Leeland Chee from the Star Wars Insider #115, page 57. This opens up a slew of possibilities does it not? Talon could be carrying Cade's lust child with this revelation? -----signature----- I am forever seeking the damutek of Hooley Krekk Oh, woe! Oh, misery! Oh, unhappiness.

	Season 2, Episode 10 "The Deserter" seemed to strongly imply that the clone's children were his, biologically, by his own words and their appearance. They were a mottled blend between human coloring and their mother's coloring. However, it does generally take several... erm... attempts... to conceive. While it is technically possible to do it with only one attempt or a series of attempts all on the same night, usually it takes more than that. While Darth Talon could have potentially conceived, I'm tending to think that she wouldn't unless she wanted to, and she wouldn't bear it to term unless the Sith decided it would be advantageous. Pregnancy would tend to interfere with her duties as a Hand. Personally, I think canon allows for a few too many blends that shouldn't be possible without a petri dish and some bio-engineering. -----signature----- Well-behaved women seldom make history.

	Yeah, but as has been pointed out in LACWAC, those kids in Deserter seem aweful grown up for a Clone to have fathered them at the start of the war. Now why wouldn't Talon want to have a child of the Skywalker bloodline? Wouldn't that be a longterm coup for the Sith? -----signature----- I am forever seeking the damutek of Hooley Krekk Oh, woe!

	Well, the clones were tinkered with for accelerated aging and we really don't know how much of that was genetic and therefore inheritable. A Cade/Talon child would take several years to have any real use to the Sith. These Sith did seem to take the long view under Krayt. However, with Krayt dead, what use do they now have for Cade and Cade's abilities, much less waiting for almost two decades for them to develop fully in a child? The only point I could see would be counting coup for being defeated so often at the hands of Skywalkers. They seem to be pretty powerful without Skywalker blood in them, and Cade's a few generations removed from The Chosen One. -----signature----- Well-behaved women seldom make history.

	The episode guide for that TCW episode explicitly states that the kids are not Cut's; he adopted them. -----signature----- "Adaption" is not an English word. Ahsoka is annoying; seeing "Ashoka" typed is even more annoying. "Begs the question" does not mean "raises the question"

	And the mottled color has been seen before, on other Twi'leks (in the Ryloth episode, IIRC.) Plus, the kids are four and five---too old to be his. EDIT: Seriously, Leland? Human-like ears? Really? Bib Fortuna had Human-ish ears in RotJ. This is a well-established Twi'lek species trait (for males, at least.) Which has been followed in TCW and the PT. So I guess all male Twi'leks are human-Twi'lek hybrids, now?

	If Talon was carrying a love child, I'm pretty sure that fetus now has a lightsaber hole in its head. -----signature----- "I guess of all my uncles, I liked Uncle Cave Man the best.

	Well, didn't the Dark Jedi exiles and the Sith species interbreed? Or was that accomplished by using Sith Alchemy? -----signature----- Like Leia, he was desperate to keep Allana from harm.

	Leland's probably just softening the impact of another "Lucas" idea appearing in a future episode. -----signature----- Omnia mutantur, nihil interit. "Come on Dave, you're taking this stuff too seriously." - George Lucas "Reality can rarely be explained without contradictions." - Karnak

Which has been followed in TCW and the PT. So I guess all male Twi'leks are human-Twi'lek hybrids, now? To be fair, its been noted by many that male Twi'leks have always had human-like ears while females almost always have ear cones barring a few sources here and there. Leland points out that it is these rare females with human-like ears that may be potential hybrids, not that males with human-like ears are hybrids. So, males with "human" ears = baseline Twi'lek, females with cones = baseline Twi'lek, females with "human" ears = not baseline Twi'lek/potential hybrid Yeah, its a bit complex, perhaps needlessly so, but no more so than three or four different types of Aqualish or magically morphing Mon Cal feet... -----signature----- "Your Tactical droid has informed me of the pitiful job you have done protecting our investment on Ryloth."

That would still not explain why they seem to be 6-9 years old. The war is in it's 1st or 2nd year, so if he had deserted during the start of the war it still wouldn't be enough time. If they had been born with the accelerated ageing, they wouldn't be older than 2 years. Unless the tinkering mutates, but that wouldn't be very good because the parents would both outlive them. -----signature----- "Allir fara, þá feigðin kallar. "

	Rogue_Follower posted: So I guess all male Twi'leks are human-Twi'lek hybrids, now? Well, obviously! Clearly true Twi'leks are like the Asari: they only come female. The males must all be hybrids. As for the kids in The Deserter, like Plaristes said: they're adopted, not the clone's kids.
