Back again... Nerfs

Nerfs, not the foam footballs in this case, are four-legged herbivores with four horns, found all over the galaxy. Averaging a little over four and a quarter feet at the shoulder, the males are a bit bigger than the females, and, due to their aggressive nature, are kept apart from the rest of a herd. The fur coat of a nerf tangles ridiculously, and, hence, is a haven for insects and other such small objects, which makes these herbivores smell horrific. To enhance this disgusting first impression, black, sticky spit constantly hangs out of their mouths as they chew with incurable manners. It was certainly an insult to Han Solo when Leia said to him in The Empire Strikes Back:

"Why, you stuck-up, half-witted, scruffy-looking nerf-herder!"

In the wild, nerfs are constantly in danger of manka cats and taoparis. To help them avoid these predators, including Gungans, in some cases, nerfs have very good night vision. Nerfs are eaten in lots of different ways, including nerf tenderloin, nerf steak, and nerf sausage. As a result of the adaptive nature of the nerf, several subspecies have become distinct over the years: the Grizmallt nerf, the mountain nerf, the wildernerf, the larkin nerf, and the wooly nerf. Nerf-throwing, an illegal sport, is a contest to see who can throw a nerf the farthest and most accurately. Nerf-pox was a superficial infection found in the children of Alderaan.

Dactillions

Related to the varactyl, dactillions are reptavians native to Utapau. Unlike the varactyl, however, they are equipped with wings and are much skinnier. Dactillions used to prey on the Utapauns until they were subdued with fresh meat supplied by the natives from a less destructive source. Now, the short, pink Utai serve as wranglers for the dragonmounts (varactyls and dactillions). The average wingspan of this species is almost 80 feet, and they are around 20 feet tall. During the Battle of Utapau the dactillions served as war mounts for the Pau'ans. Only when food supply is low in the sinkholes, or when a dactillion is seeking a mate, will they venture out to the surface of the planet.

Krayt Dragon

Nearly 150 feet long, krayt dragons (CRATE DRAG-uns) can live to be up to 100 years old, and weigh over two tons. On top of their colossal dimensions, their teeth and spines secrete fatal venom. This carnivourous, reptilian, nonsentient species was made up of two species, the first, the canyon krayt dragon, possessed the aforementioned size. The second species, however, was much bigger and much less common: this krayt can measure over 300 feet, and needs all ten legs to support all that weight. C-3P0 walked past a greater krayt dragon spine and skull at the beginning of A New Hope, after he separated with R2-D2, who insisted upon going another way. Greater krayt dragons usually hunt sarlaccs and banthas, and, like all other krayt dragons, they develop a pearl in their gizzard; pearls from greaters are bigger and thus more valuable than those from canyon krayts. These dragon pearls can also be used by Jedi, after shaped, as focusing crystals--the crystals that focus the blade in a lightsaber. The weaknesses of krayts are few, but undeniably there: krayts have trouble with two-dimensional images, and sometimes react to shadows and the like. Also, a shot from a skilled gunman can, through the weak sinus cavity, reach the brain, killing the dragon instantly. Before a Sandperson could be accepted as an adult in the tribe, they were abandoned in the desert and not allowed back in until they had killed a krayt. Also, Jawas brave and successful enough to obtain krayt bones, which they believed to possess magical properties, were highly regarded among their people. The skeleton used in the filming of A New Hope was left at the site after the scene was shot, and when the crew for Attack of the Clones visited the Tunisian Desert, where they had left the fake skeleton, it was still there. Isn't that cool?

The Rule of Two

The Rule of Two is the unwritten code that states that, "Always two, there are--a Master and an apprentice," as Yoda observed.

Remember: power alone is not enough. Patience. Cunning. Secrecy. These are the tools we will use to bring down the Jedi. The Sith are only two now--one Master and one apprentice. There will be no others.
This Darth Bane said to his apprentice Zannah.

The Sith Code is as follows:
Peace is a lie; there is only passion.
Through passion, I gain strength.
Through strength, I gain power.
Through power, I gain victory.
Through victory, my chains are broken.
The Force shall free me.

The users of the Dark side of the Force can undergo serious physical changes, including the change of the eyes from their normal color to an acid yellow. The skin, as in Palpatine's case, can also become gray and overly wrinkled. But these users can change between their original appearance and their current appearance, as Palpatine and Anakin have done.
