    We've seen some makeup/CGI combinations where one eye and the mouth are real under a physical mask, and the other eye is a huge CGI creation, like Ephialtes in 300. I think there is much, much more that can be done in this direction other than just an elaborate deformity. You could do crazy CGI eyes with the actor's real mouth talking, or the actor's eyes looking out over CGI mouth-tendrils or something.

    I'd love for a new species that's cute and has lekku (to join my beloved twi'leks and togrutas). Maybe with one brain-tail this time. And human skin-tones. And tattoos like this:

    I wouldn't mind if they were wearing variations of this outfit, either:

    Don't judge me, I'm girly. :p

    There were quite a few hammerheads in the prequels. Tattooine, nightclub, senate...

    I'd like a nice mix of practical and cgi. Would love to see more races that are less humanoid.

    I believe the non-specist and politically correct name for that species is Ithorian.

    Thanks for the link. There are a few nice ANH promo/costuming photos on there which I hadn't seen already.

    Selkath would be great!
    (and the concept art of 'montross' has a simular looking alien...)

    I want to see some feathered avian species in the ST.

    And more strangely shaped animatronic heads a la Ithorians/Hammerheads.

    Not all of them. If the design says its okay, then yes. If not, then CGI and/or motion-capture should be used. It’s not 1977, 1980 or 1983 anymore. An otherworldly alien, IMO, should never look like a person in a costume or make-up (or both).

    Less humans with masks, more imaginative.
