Leffingite / Legends The Leffingites were a sentient species from the planet Almak . They were characterized by a tall , narrow head ; a large , flat nose with two gaping nostrils ; two large , fan - like ears ; and large jaws from which protruded a smattering of small teeth . Four brown horns extended from above their goggle eyes ; two of these growths were relatively short , while two others were longer . The head extended at a perpendicular angle to the body and was covered in loose , wrinkled skin . The all - Almakian apple pie was an example of Leffingite cuisine widely favored by the species . At least one Leffingite left his homeworld ; Magaloof operated as a small - time crook in the gang run by the crime lord Hat Lo on the planet Coruscant during the waning years of the Galactic Republic . The Leffingites later resisted the rise of the Galactic Empire but were quelled in a battle during which the newly established galactic government attacked them on their homeworld with AT walkers . Biology and appearance . The Leffingites were a sentient species distinguished by ovine features . The species ' cranium was tall and flattened , with a rounded base that tapered to a pointed apogee . Four horns sprouted from the skull in two pairs ; one pair was relatively short and grew from knobby growths between the eyes , while the second was longer and extended from behind the eyes . In at least one specimen , the horns were dull brown in color . Two prominent ears extended outward from either side of the head ; the auditory organs were narrow at the base and flared outward in a leaf shape before they narrowed to a point . Two smaller , rounded ear - like appendages adorned the top of the skull . The nose was long and tall ; its wide base , perforated by two cavernous nostrils , narrowed to a thin bridge that extended to the top of the head . Eyes protruded from the face as two round orbs , pale in some specimens , that slanted downward from the top of the nose to the base of the ears ; these sensory organs were covered by heavy lids . The mouth , located immediately below the nose , was M - shaped , its midpoint located between the nostrils . The inside of the orifice was a grayish pink , and several sharp , white teeth filled the maw . The dentition was such that two fangs grew downward from the center of the upper jaw , and two more each extended from the widest points of the upper and lower mandibles . These teeth protruded even when the mouth was shut . The face was covered in loose , wrinkled skin that hung from the jaw in strips that continued down the neck . In at least one Leffingite , the skin was a light brown . The species ' head hung at a ninety - degree angle from the neck and torso , an arrangement that lent them a hunched posture . Leffingites were relatively short ; the one named Magaloof stood 1 . 4 meters tall , for instance . The species had both males and females . Society and culture . The planet Almak was the Leffingite homeworld . At least some members of the species wore clothing . Leffingites were capable of learning to fly airspeeders and to speak Basic . A favorite dish of the Almakian Leffingites was all - Almakian apple pie , a desert made from the Almakian apple . Dexter Jettster offered the pastry at his diner on Coruscant for 2 . 5 . History . The Leffingites evolved on Almak , a planet that became incorporated into the greater galaxy as part of the Almak sector of the Mid Rim some time between 1000 and 25 BBY . At some point between 19 and 0 BBY , the Leffingites resisted the dominion of the Galactic Empire , the newly constituted galactic government , over their home system . In retaliation , Imperial forces invaded Almac with All Terrain walkers . In the ensuing battle , the Leffingite resistance was defeated . The results of the confrontation convinced the Imperial officer Nahdonnis Praji that , while inelegant , AT walkers still served a purpose . Leffingites in the galaxy . At least one Leffingite emigrated into the greater galaxy : Magaloof , an individual who worked as a small - time crook on Coruscant , the capital of the Galactic Republic . In 22 BBY , he stole an airspeeder in Galactic City and went on a joyride . Despite a near - crash with Jedi Knight Obi - Wan Kenobi , who was hurtling through Coruscant traffic hanging from a courier droid , Magaloof landed the vehicle and sold it to the crime lord Hat Lo . The Leffingite became a regular member of Lo ' s gang , a capacity in which he came into contact with a thief named Achk Med - Beq . After a series of capers together , Med - Beq urged his Leffingite partner to rob a jewelry store in Coruscant ' s CoCo Town . After the job , Magaloof ran into a Human who identified himself as a Republic Security Force officer named Dannl Faytonni ; the man confiscated the stolen goods and let the Leffingite go with a warning . When Magaloof was unable to find Med - Beq and was arrested again shortly thereafter , he realized that he had been conned by his former partner . After a three - year sentence in the CoCo Penitentiary , Magaloof returned to Almak to start his life anew . Behind the scenes . The Leffingite character Magaloof appears in the 2002 " Star Wars " prequel film . Although the character and his species both went unnamed in the movie , Gregory Walker , writing under the screen name NarbFlick , first identified the species as part of his entry for Magaloof as part of the StarWars . com " What ' s The Story ? " feature . Walker named the species for , a politician whose campaign and election to the , City Council in 2005 had placed the name Leffingwell in Walker ' s mind as he wrote his submission . Walker also established Almak as the species ' homeworld ; the name of the planet was simply a random assemblage of syllables that the author thought pleasant sounding .
