[Code Red]

I doubt the term is "human" in the SW galaxy, but bear in mind the text has been translated into english for our benefit

Reminds me of a sci-fi novel I read where every species called their home planet "Earth". The actual word was different in each language, but the meaning was the same.

As regards the animals, you could argue that evolution would tend to come up with the same/similar solutions to environmental demands. But I won't, cos that's lame.

I dunno. From a strict space-fantasy basis, I would rather see a Dewback or Tauntaun or some attempt at a new animal being designed rather than just throwing a horse in there.

[Despondent]

Absolutely, that's what we're paying for.

And the more natural the better. (JarJar's frog; the burping JEDI frog don't cut it.)

the garbage monster's eye was allowable.

I guess i don't have a big issue with it. Altho, I would've liked to have seen the "jerbas" running around on Tatooine, something which Lucas dropped, but you can see some pictures of it in production photos... i'll see if I can dig one up....

there would be Mice, right? the mouse robot was named after something.

I think the ducks' inclusion are part of another GL deal. He nabbed the word "youngling" from "duckling".
