Dyslogia Twang Dyslogia Twang was a male contributor to the HoloNet News channel at the time of the Separatist Crisis . He covered such topics as fashion , celebrity news , and high - class social events — in other words , gossip . He was one of the few media supporters of Jar Jar Binks , the Gungan Representative to the Galactic Senate . In 22 BBY , Twang traveled to the planet Alsakan and attended a fundraising reception for the Refugee Relief Movement , which inspired him to write a very sarcastic article . Biography . In the waning days of the Galactic Republic , the male alien Dyslogia Twang was a famous journalist . During the Separatist Crisis , he was a regular contributor to the Life section of CoCo District ' s edition of the HoloNet News . Thanks to his social column titled " Sightings by Twang , " he had embraced a high - society life , rubbing elbows with the galaxy ' s finest . In the fourth month of the year 22 BBY , he attended a fundraiser for the Refugee Relief Movement — or RRM for short — in the brand new Xenvaer Civic Auditorium on the planet Alsakan . During the reception , Twang crossed paths with many politicians , most of whom he found dull or poorly - dressed . He personally interacted with the senators Ronet Coorr of Iseno and Tendau Bendon of Ithor . He had , however , no interest in the delegates ' conversation and cut them short quickly . In one single night , the journalist had found fresh fodder for the gossip mill and enjoyed quality food he qualified as " pure heaven . " Following the fundraiser , Twang wrote a vitriolic review that was published in the fifty - third issue of the 531st HoloNet News volume . The only celebrities who had a certain grace in his eyes were Senator Padmé Amidala of Naboo and the Gungan Representative Jar Jar Binks . Personality and traits . Dyslogia Twang was a male belonging to a humanoid species characterized by its stout stature , sagging flesh , and tiny hands . His skin had a pale purple hue , and two black eyes emerged from the fleshy folds of his face . Twang ' s head drooped down over the shoulders , completely concealing his neck under a goiter - like enlargement . Society life was Twang ' s primary interest , and he would show disdain for quiet planets such as Monastery and Naboo , which he called " dismally dull worlds . " His other great passion in life was fashion , a domain in which he often expressed very hard judgments . In his review of the RRM fundraiser , he made harsh comments about some of the attendees ' clothes and hairstyle , including the former Supreme Chancellor Finis Valorum and Senator Lexi Dio . By contrast , Twang admired Padmé Amidala ' s natural beauty and elegance ; he even wished to hire Amidala ' s hairdresser for himself , although he had no hair to begin with . He was also fond of the delegate Jar Jar Binks , whose laid - back nature and sense of fashion had gained his approval . During the Separatist Crisis , Twang was admittedly supportive of Supreme Chancellor Palpatine ' s policies , even though he would carp about his wearing red garments . Generally speaking , the journalist showed little interest in specific political matters . When Senator Ronet Coorr tried to discuss with him about redirecting arterial traffic through industrial sectors , Twang cut short the conversation after only twelve minutes . He also remained indifferent to environmental topics , remarking that the Ithorian Senator Tendau Bendon had bored him by discussing a species of fig tree s found on a forgotten world . Behind the scenes . Dyslogia Twang first appeared in the 1993 book " Monsters and Aliens from George Lucas " , written by Bob Carrau . In this book , Twang gave a review of the annual Vector Day party thrown by Mrp - Mrp Poo , a renowned Quenk jazz artist . The journalist , sporting a Velcro wrap , attended the gala , which was held at the Boulderdash terrarium , along with many well - known personalities of that time , including the data star Rzsco Snowwt . As usual , Twang intended to compose a highly critical article for publication in his column . However , he was forced to leave the party early so he could write his report in time , which displeased him . In spite of his early departure , he had collected enough gossip to write one of his trademark unflattering articles . In " Sightings by Twang , " the journalist notably made hay of an anecdote involving Tireis Blackandwhite , a female who could divide her body into two autonomous — and quite antagonistic — " segments . " However , Leland Chee , who maintains the official Holocron continuity database , has stated that information from this book is considered non - canon ical unless reused in later publications . In 2002 , the character of Dyslogia Twang appeared in the April 25 issue of the HoloNet News in - universe website , thus bringing him into canon . In this incarnation , Twang was drawn by Joe Corroney . The HoloNet article retained most traits that had been established in " Monsters and Aliens " , including his speech mannerisms and the title of his social column . Twang ' s appearance greatly resembles early designs for Jabba the Hutt . One early sketch of the proto - Jabba , drawn by conceptual designer Ralph McQuarrie , even depicted him with steepled fingers , just like Twang in Corroney ' s illustration . In real life , the term " dyslogia " is used in to describe a " distortion of language that results from psychological problems , without impairment to linguistic functions as such . " It should be noted that in " Monsters and Aliens from George Lucas " , the exact meaning of many sentences within Twang ' s report was unclear .
