An even better question that was never addressed and that I’ve mentioned before is what did the bathroom in Mos Eisley look like? There would have to be some serious hardware just to contain the pee of the universe and to accomodate the different going styles and substances that could show up.
I mean could you imagine stopping in to have a few Galatic Beers only to find out that they don’t have a facility for you to use?
I’ll bet that’s why that one guy was so pissed at Luke. He wasn’t a bad guy, he just needed to pee.

Sergio Aragones from MAD magazine did a classic panel “showing” it:

If you were a hiring Dark Overlord wouldn’t you prefer the species that wiped out all other sentient species on their planet before they got outside their own solar system?
I can see the t-shirts now:
[del]Neanderthals 30,000 BC[/del]
[del]Whales & Dolphins 2009 AD[/del]
Jedi TBA

Eh. They’re not “us” human. They’re just humanoid enough to be called human in relation to the rest of their galaxy. Remember, “a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away”…
I’m not quite sure of your point. Star Wars is complete fiction. If Lucas had wanted to make them exact duplicates of humanity but living in the galaxy M105, that’s the “truth” of their fictional situation. I’m well aware that there aren’t really “humans” in some distant galaxy millennia ago.

You mean like Fargo was based on a true story?

I’m not sure I understand your point. We’re told it takes place in a galaxy far away and a long time ago so we know they’re not us.
They happen to look human for convenience’s sake, and they also happen to speak English for convenience’s sake.

That odd looking, quasi-human guy YODA-where did he come from? Was there ever an explanation of how his kind became involved with humans? And, why was there only one? Was he the last remnent of a species that died out?

All will be explained when the Rebel fleet arrives at present day Earth in the next sequel, Star Wars 1980.

Let’s make it Star Wars 2008/SG-1.
So do you think Yoda was live birth or an egg? And what does his own language sound like? And why is it he can levitate and whip foes 10 times his size and overcome whatever vocal impediments his own kind has in speaking “English” but can’t master syntax? (And did anybody actually see or hear him talking with Qui Gon Jinn or did they just take the stressed old lizardling’s word for it? This was possibly in the top 40 weakest moments of the third movie in the trilogy that doesn’t count.)
Other alien questions:
Has any “official” source ever shown what Jawas look like under their robes?
Are sandmen/Tusken raiders human?
Is interspecies dating/marriage permitted? (Jabba certainly seems to like his non-Hutt dancing girls, and the way his tail was patting on the floor next to the sleeping Leia was a bit grossly suggestive.) If so the stage is set for MOS EISLEY SIDE STORY (“A boy with scales cannot love! A boy who’s slimy has two hearts! One of your own kind, stick to your own kind!”)
One of MTV Movie Awards better moments was the senile Yoda at the Jedi council (made using actual clips from the movie to show his non sequitur responses in an interrogation).

Okay…this is from Wookiepedia, so I’m sure it’s not 100% reliable, but:
I don’t believe we’ve ever seen (in ANY canon source) an unrobed/unhooded Jawa. However, according to the Jawa article, the Jawas and Sand People are thought to both be descendants of the Kumumgah, whom it is implied are the original Humans (or at least related to them) of the Star Wars galaxy in the game Knights of the Old Republic.
Obviously, they’ve evolved away from anything reasonably human-looking, but that’s your base.
