Weequay |

In the Star Wars movies, the Weequay are a low-intelligence species that lives primarily on the planet Tatooine. The majority of the Weequay population are simultaneously farmers and criminals. Weequays are widely used throughout the galaxy as henchmen (or henchweequays).
They are a race of indianesque humanoid creatures which also hail from the planet Sriluur, a harsh desert planet lending to the species' tanned skin tone and rough, sandy, wrinkled skin. Their eyes are dark and slightly recessed into their skull; their hair tied into one or two long braids — a staple characteristic and symbol of status among their kin.
Their role is usually minor, as their ignorant and mean-spirited temperaments leave them to be ill suited for more grand ventures, while their suspicious and xenophobic nature prevent them from carving new settlements in strange worlds. They are occasionally hired as bodyguards in Hutt syndicates when they chose to make their lives in the galaxy.
