    They're already included in the "deprived of sun" category.

    That's as confusing as saying "olive-skinned"! Are we talking white or yellow peaches here? Because if it's the later, then gross! That's like saying we all have Donald Trump's peculiar skin color!

    On a more serious note, does olive-skinned refers to black olives or to olive oil (I'm leaving out green olives because that can't be a thing)?

    Wow, those Mon Cala look great! Even the eye color is different, note the whitish/silver in the place of the yellow/gold in Ackbar's eyes.

    CooperTFN, this isn't a step backward at all. Besides, at least on Mon Cala the WMCM (white Mon Calamari males) are in the minority! :p

    How can you tell if they have mammary glands beneath those uniforms?
    Do you mean the peach peel or the flesh?

    The flesh. The difference isn't that pronounced on the peel.

    Internet search seems to say it comes from green olives, actually.

    Are we arguing about whether people are literally the exact color of various fruits and other food items?

    I say she has become more Asian over time. Her last name being Shan probably helps with that. Star Wars does like to mix and match but Shan is pretty common Chinese Last Name as compared to something random like Kenobi.

    Well with Kenobi you can see the Japanese influence (think Kenshiro or Shinobi), especially since the part was written with a Japanese actor in mind. It may well in fact actually be Japanese, but even if it isn't it doesn't quite matter since there is no Space Japan. A white guy can be named Kenobi, just as an Asian woman can be named Sabine.

    Can I just say how awesome they look with those black uniforms? Oh, and their eye color. Man, the design in R1 is beyond on point at all levels.

    I agree you can see the influence but Shan is a straight up last name with none of the ambiguity of Kenobi. Which is some mix of Ken and Shinobi I think think.

    Yes but Satele is Polynesian, probably Samoan; so what does that say about these names? :p
