Laa

The Laa, also known as the Fantailed Laa fish, were a species of scalefish found on the planet Naboo and the moon Jedha. They lived alongside six other scalefish species in the waters around the city Otoh Gunga in Lake Paonga, and could also be found in the Abyss, where they were preyed upon indiscriminately by the large colo claw fish and opee sea killers that dwelt there. Tiny yobshrimp lived in the gills of tee scalefish, and they were then licked out and eaten by laa.
==Biology and appearance==
Laa had orange and peach colored skin with an elongated snout. They had two antennalike appendages located between their yellow eyes that streamed behind their body. The tails that were used for propulsion were curved.
==History==
In 9 BBY, the Sakavian fisherman Skoova Stev caught a Fantailed Laa fish on Jedha and put it in a fish tank at Pyloon's Saloon.
==Behind the scenes==
Laa, albeit unidentified, first appeared in the film Star Wars: Episode I The Phantom Menace. Their identity were later confirmed to be canon in the 2015 reference book Star Wars: Absolutely Everything You Need to Know. The species was identified as the Fantailed Laa fish in the video game Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, which was developed by Respawn Entertainment and published by Electronic Arts on April 28, 2023.
Laa, along with fellow scalefish doo, ray, mee, faa, see, tee, appear to be a reference to the real-world musical scale; i.e, "Do, Re, Me, Fa, So, La, Ti, Do."
