Twi'leks, depicted in the movie Star Wars', are tall human-like creatures known for their colorful skin inhabiting the planet of Ryloth.
The 1983 'Star Wars' film introduced the Twi'leks for the first time. Since then, their culture and roots were thoroughly explored in the first season of the 'Star Wars: The Clone Wars' animated series.
The Star Wars movies introduced some of the most magnificent and complex characters ever written in cinematic history. Twi'leks were one such character, and they have piqued the interest of many movie buffs. One such mystery about the Twi'leks revolves around their names. These names have two components: their name and their clan name. A whole Twi'lek name is a sign of belonging. Breaking the names apart with apostrophes signifies the distance between that person and their people. Here is a list of names for Twi'leks that you can use to name your fictional characters.
