From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
In George Lucas' fictional Star Wars universe, Humans are the most numerous and dominant species, with apparently millions of major and minor colonies galaxywide.
In the Star Wars universe, Humans were one of the first sapient species to develop hyperdrive, Corellians the first to do so. By this time humans were already present throughout the galaxy, which implies that they had slower means of interstellar transport for a long time earlier.
Star Wars Humans are mostly identical to real humans, which suggests that within the Star Wars universe they should either be seen as Earth humans that somehow ended up there (suggesting Star Wars is not set a long time ago but rather in our future), or a remarkable case of parallel evolution. In the mythology, the human origin is kept in the dark, and they have no clear original home planet. Within the mythology, some scholars believe that humans first appeared on Coruscant, the later Republic and Imperial capital, but this theory has never been substantiated.
Most Star Wars humans live on predominantly human worlds, but several humans live alongside aliens on their worlds, or together with several other species on a world.
Human worlds include Corellia and Naboo.
Some Human characters are Anakin and Luke Skywalker, Padme Amidala, Han Solo, and Lando Calrissian.
Several alien species in the SW universe appear to be very closely related to humans, as they share many physical traits.
The Chiss, a race that dwells in the Unknown Regions, are a humanoid people that all have pale blue skin, black hair, and red reflective or fluorescent eyes. In all other aspects they are normal humans: they bleed red blood, and the cloning tanks used to clone human stormtroopers also worked on Chiss physiology.
Grand Admiral Thrawn is the most famous Chiss.
The Massassi were isolated red-skinned humans dominated for thousands of years by the Sith. They freely interbred with the (human) Sith, implying they were genetically almost human.
Other near-human races include the Zabrak, Theelin, Vultan, and Yuuzhan Vong. All these are mostly human in appearance, but have a few distinct charasteristics.Humans
