Star Wars is an American epic space opera film series created by George Lucas. The first film in the series, Star Wars, was released on 25 May, 1977 and became a worldwide pop culture phenomenon, followed by five sequels and three prequels. Many species of alien creatures are depicted.
context_section_description: Twi'leks are humanoids easily distinguished by the twin tentacular appendages that protrude from the back of the head. These prehensile appendages, known as "head-tails", "lekku" or "tchun-tchin," are advanced organs used for communication and cognitive functions (similar to those of Togrutas). The Twi'lek's name means Twin Lekku. Like humans, Twi'leks vary greatly in appearance and have a wide variety of skin colors including shades of white, blue, green and red. Twi'leks stand between 1.6 and 2.1 meters tall.
  Twi'leks speak Twi'leki, a language that combines verbal components with subtle head-tail movements. When they wish, they can even communicate in complete secrecy using their versatile head-tails.
  Young female Twi'leks are graceful and beautiful, and are highly sought as dancers or slaves, often sold by their own family members for profit.
  Twi'leks are native to mountainous Ryloth in the Outer Rim.
