Kas'im fights rancors at Lehon Star Wars :: Drew Karpyshyn, Darth Bane: Path of Destruction, ch.23

[There is only one rancor in the novel, but I draw two of them just for composition]

So the prequel movies came out when I was in elementary/middle school and while I loved Padmé, I always wanted to see a female Jedi. As a kid I dressed up as Leia for Halloween but instead of a toy blaster I had a light saber for trick or treating. So that two second glimpse of Aayla in Attack of the Clones just made me want to be her so bad. I was heartbroken when ROTS came out and they killed her.  When I got into cosplay, Aayla was always a “dream cosplay”. Something to look forward to in the future. 2019 was a rough year for me personally, so i decided that I’d deserved to make my dream cosplay. No more putting it off for the future.

So in me and my best friend’s webcomic, we are going to add a Muslim Twi’lek. But we want her to wear a Hijab, and neither of us are Muslim so we dont know what would be the correct way in this instance. I made some examples in photoshop (dont worry, she wont have skin showing in the webcomic) but we still dont know.

Basically, a Twi’lek’s tentacles (which are called lekku) are like arms, and they use them extensively in their language, similar to asl. But since the point (i think) of a Hijab is to cover one’s hair, would they count as hair and need covered? or would they hang out? If they did hang out, would the back or the front be best?

Kas'im declares Bane's victory upon Sirak Star Wars :: Drew Karpyshyn, Darth Bane: Path of Destruction

'Slowly, Bane lowered his saber and stepped away. The fury and focus that had turned him into a conduit of the dark side’s unstoppable power was gone, replaced by a hyperconscious awareness of his physical surroundings. He was standing atop the temple roof in the middle of a raging storm, drenched in cold rain, his body half frozen. (...) Kas’im stepped from the crowd, smoothly placing himself between Bane and the helpless Zabrak.

  “You have witnessed an amazing victory today,” he told the assembled throng, shouting to be heard above the pounding rain. “Bane’s triumph was as much a result of his brilliant strategy as his superior skill. (...) He was patient and careful. He didn’t just want to defeat his opponent … he wanted to destroy him! He achieved dun möch—not because he was better than Sirak, but because he was smarter. (...) Let this be a lesson to you all,” he concluded. “Secrecy can be your greatest weapon. Keep your true strength hidden until you are ready to unleash the killing blow.”

  He let go of Bane’s shoulder and whispered, “You should go inside before you catch a chill.”'
