Unidentified Vyndal species A species of sentient humanoid s with black eye s and pointed ear s hailed from the planet of Vyndal . At some point during his life , a human named Yeleb landed on Vyndal and made contact with the natives . Because that man posed as a Jedi , the natives made him the protector of their village . Many years later , the villagers encountered a real Jedi , Kanan Jarrus , who helped them fend off an attack by the Galactic Empire . They were victorious , but lost their protector in the battle . Biology and appearance . The natives of Vyndal were a sentient species of humanoid s with long , tapered ear s and almond - shaped , entirely black eye s . The species had two sexes , male and female . The color of their skin ranged in variety from peachy tones to more ruddy hues . Many of them had brown spots of various sizes and shapes on certain parts of the body , including the cheeks , the forehead and the shoulders . Both sexes had hair on the top of the head and eyebrows , and the males could grow a beard . They were comparable in size to human s . Society and culture . Compared to spacefaring cultures , the inhabitants of Vyndal were low on the technology ladder . Their warriors used physical shields and pole weapons , as opposed to energy shield and blaster s . They wore simple clothes with subdued , earthy tones , often decorated with triangular motifs . Their homes consisted of rectangular naves with vaulted ceilings and arch - shaped facades at both ends . The internal walls of their buildings were painted with brighter colors , and featured ornamental patterns consisting of repeated and symmetrical figures . The natives were capable of speaking Galactic Basic , and they knew how to write , as shown by the existence of parchments . They also mastered pottery and were capable of crafting eyeglasses . History . At some point following the rise of the Galactic Empire and the extermination of the Jedi Order , a village of Vyndal natives welcomed Yeleb , a human male who had landed on their homeworld . Some time later , Yeleb came back with a lightsaber he had found on the corpse of a dead Jedi who had also crashed on Vyndal , and the village chief appointed him the protector of his people . Many years later , a real Jedi named Kanan Jarrus was forced to land on Vyndal to repair his starship , and he made contact with the village . That new arrival attracted the Empire ' s chief Jedi hunter , the Grand Inquisitor , who came with two " Gozanti " - class cruisers and a contingent of stormtrooper s . Yeleb fell to the Inquisitor ' s blows , but Jarrus helped the Vyndal natives fend off the Imperial attack . Deprived of their protector , the natives were forced to learn stand up for themselves . Behind the scenes . The Vyndal natives first appeared in " The fake Jedi , " a 2015 comic strip written by Martin Fisher and illustrated by Bob Molesworth . The basic idea of Yeleb fooling a people who knew next to nothing about the Jedi came from Fisher , but the species ' appearance and style was entirely chosen by Molesworth . Although the comic never stated it outright , Fisher confirmed that the species did hail from Vyndal . He also stated that he had not thought of a name for those natives , and offered the fan who asked him on Twitter to come up with one . Said fan ended up proposing " Ghatoola , " which Fisher approved of .
