Rodian

Homeworld: Rodia

Description: Rodians are a race of green, antenna-sporting, bug-eyed humanoids from the planet Rodia ; the most notable specimen was Greedo, the bounty hunter shot by Han Solo in the Mos Eisley cantina in the original Star Wars movie (A New Hope). A young Rodian named Wald (played by Warwick Davis), a friend of Anakin Skywalker, appears in The Phantom Menace. In Attack of the Clones, Rodians are represented by Senator Onaconda Farr, and Palpatine's aide Dar Warc.

The Hutt colonization of Rodia, brought changes to the Rodian race. Old Rodian slowly ceased to be a written and spoken language. Huttese was adopted as the official language and soon came to be spoken by the Rodians.

Some Rodians are enlisted in the public service of the Hutts and tend to fare better then others of their race. Any association with the Hutts often brings great rewards but sometimes can bring heavy consequences.
