@GeneralFriendliness They honestly remind me of the Illithids from Baldurs gate a bit
Come to think of it, you're kinda right. The face does sort of look like a Mind Flayer's, mostly the ones from the 2nd edition of D&D which had micro tentacles on their face, but overall the body is way different from a Mind Flayers, with all members of this species apparently being fat, hunched and manly...
Oddly enough, her original concept art depicted her as an old tattooed human woman who looked like an asian Mama Murphy from Fallout 4.
But now that I look at her colored art, I think I remember why she looks familiar. If she had a trunk, she'd look just like a Pacithhip (the elephant faced dudes) from The Phantom Menace, even having the same eyes...
Anyway back to the cancelled park characters/aliens and datapad bullshit.
This is a Narquois which never appeared in anything before Disney. They're just a donut steal version of Ugnaughts (the short pink pig men from ESB), even having the same background "short, brutish, balding, tech-savy, space dwarves who got enslaved a lot and then got their planet fucked and moved to other parts of the galaxy" now they live everywhere while effectively replacing ugnaughts in roles you would normally see them in. Now they're everywhere in the galaxy, very numerous and apparently always have been despite never seeing them before.
The one pictured here is called Pru Sweevant who is the same from TFA's castle scene and has now moved to Batuu despite not actually being in the park like the other shits. It seems as though every alien from that castle scene moved to this fucking park. I don't know what mission he gives you but its for the Resistance. Supposedly, he was the personal slave of Nute Gunray (the CIS leader from TPM).
This is an Onoodle...? Its never appeared in anything before Disney. An ugly pink fucker that's got a long noodle scrotum for a face that extends to the back of its heads. It seems to be a really fucked up, munchkin-sized, donut steal version of a Kubaz (the squeaky snitching imperial spy alien from ANH), and it is the second kubaz knockoff that I know of.
The one pictured here is named Gwelli and its also the same one from the fucking castle scene in TFA. His mission involves finding some kind of hood which you get by scanning a box. He also personally knows Han Solo and is a friend of his, he also who once had an argument with that pirate guy Hondo...
This is a... Die-something. I don't remember. Never appeared in anything before Disney. Looks decent because its just a breathing mask but its probably ugly if its ever given a real face. They have only appeared in the datapad and in TFA.
The one pictured is named Atgore and its the same one from the castle scene in TFA who has moved to Batuu. He is a drug and goods smuggling bounty hunter whose mission involves scanning some piece from the lightsaber shop, he will then reward you with a piece of armor that's added to your datapad collection. He apparently knew Rey and knew about the map that led to Luke Skywalker and where it was all along... So like, were the Resistance the only dumb fuckers who were in the dark about that stupid mcguffin map?
Here we have one of the few pre-Disney aliens at the park, there's about 5 of them not counting the pirate guy, Dok Ondar and the toy maker, while Disney aliens have about 12-14 reps. Its a Pacithhip, a sort of elephant-faced alien with horn-like tusks, and stubby legs which it hides by using prosthetic metal legs to mimic the height and speed of other species. It first appeared in Dark Horse's SW comics, later in the 1997 special edition of ANH, and then more prominently in TPM.
The one pictured in the datapad is called Bok who first appeared in The Phantom Menace where he was a friend of Watto's and an engineer... But now in the datapad and at the age of 90, Bok is now a female... So I guess he trooned out...? They also re-used the same exact model from TPM's visual dictionary. His mission involves helping him make money for his transgenderative surgery... I kid on that last one. Bok is only mentioned by that pirate Hondo as someone whose identity has stolen for a mission.
This is obviously an Ewok.
But not just any Ewok... This is the Ewok from the awful book I talked about 3 or so pages ago where Han gets mansplained by a streetwise gungan security guard for being a racist human male. In the book, as I mentioned before, Peekpa is a super intelligent ewok girl child who knows everything about programming, hacking, engineering, navigation, droid repair, ship repair, etc etc despite being from a primitive species and she managed to learn all this in just 2 years, eventually becoming Han Solo's ship mate 2 years after the Battle of Endor... 30 years later she is now retired and living on Batuu for some reason. Her mission involves finding a hang glider by scanning a box.
This another old pre-Disney alien, a Sy Myrthian that only have one foot that looks like a hutt's tail. First appeared in TPM.
This is Brookish Boon. In pre-Disney he was a famous journalist from Coruscant who was also a huge hypocrite. Boon would talk about political corruption but would happily take bribes and publish fake news for his own benefit. Under Disney Boon has also trooned out and is just a fat rich nobody who had zher identity stolen by the pirate guy.
There are only two other familiar aliens left but I don't know about them much or have their pics, I only know their species based on what I briefly saw in a video. One is a Quarren aka the original Mind Flayer-lookalikes of Star Wars who first appeared in ROTJ and shared their homeworld of Dac with the Mon Calamari (Ackbar's species) who they shared a heated racial rivalry with. All of that is still a part of Disney surprisingly except they changed the name of the planet.
Despite looking like mind flayers, the similarities are only superficial and shared none of their inherit evil or supernatural abilities of Mind Flayers (unless they were sith) other than being creepy and occasionally less trustworthy. For actual Mind Flayer-like beings in SW, you'd have to go for the Anzati or Amphi for that.
The second and last familiar species in the park are the Nautolans aka jedi master Kit Fisto's species which first appeared in AotC and Genndy Wars. Like the quarren, they're also aquatic, except they're frog people with tentacle hair.
That about covers all the aliens in the park, although supposedly all the other aliens from the castle scene in TFA also live in this park now for some reason despite not being seen.
Only thing left are some clothes featured in the datapad which don't appear in the park and are only found by scanning boxes or through "rewards". Mainly jawa clothes and an ewok hood. I assume that they were originally going to be sold as clothes in the park but were removed for budget reasons I guess.
You can "equip" some of these via the datapad as part of a mission, but you don't actually wear anything obviously.
There's also armor for that failed Zuvio character that was hyped up for TFA but never used.
That about covers the datapad bullshit. All that's left is to discuss the lightsaber ban and the little things from the park I didn't discuss before due to not seeming very relevant, but now that the park seems to be screwed, I might as well point out all the wasted effort since Wookieepedia is too busy dying.
