Buboicullaar, also known as Bubo, was a frog-dog bodyguard to the mighty Jabba the Hutt. Prior to his service with the Hutt, Bubo was a spy an assassin, using his bestial appearance to fool targets into thinking him a mindless creature.

I have received confirmation that Star Wars aliens are indeed an unfamiliar topic to the average person these days. Growing up I knew it as the biggest fiction fandom in the world, which only really changed around 2000 when Pokemon and then Harry Potter became more exciting to kids. Until I got into Pokemon myself, Star Wars creatures were definitely my own biggest hyperfixation. So this is the kind of thing I just assume EVERYONE who follows me is already familiar with but here are my top 5 Star Wars aliens, with lore that I promise I’m not making up no matter how stupid it ever gets:

Dice Ibegon: a hand puppet seen for literally one second in the Cantina scene, actually some kind of sandworm-like prop. A published “Expanded Universe” story, i.e. canon at the time, decided Dice was a female “Lamproyd” who could see through time with her force powers, and also that the wolfman here, Lak Sivrak, was her lover. Both their species gauged sexiness by nothing but deadliness, see, and they’re both apex predators from their home planets, or something. Part of their relationship was based on the fact that she can see his inevitable moment of death.

As an aside, the special editions digitally replaced Lak Sivrak with an elephant monster because he was really always just a store-bought generic werewolf mask and George Lucas thought it looked too awful. I do not think anyone ships Dice with this nobody.

BUBOICULLAAR: I loved this froggy guy so much, seen momentarily in Jabba’s palace, that I used to pretend to be him like other little kids pretended to be a dog or cat sometimes. Another published canon story reasoned that he was a highly sapient being but his species survives partially by pretending to be dumb animals and even playing the part of pets. Another alien implanted a bomb in Bubo to try and assassinate Jabba but Bubo easily removed it and used it to blow up the assassin instead, not because he cares about Jabba the Hutt but because the guy was going to use him as a bomb

LOJE NELLA: this prop was nicknamed “Toadstool Terror” by the production crew, and I saw it referenced in a book without any pictures, so it tormented me for many years trying to figure out who “Toadstool Terror” was. It wasn’t even readily available information on the internet for years; I actually scoured books and magazines about “Return of the Jedi’s development and eventually I did spot this alien, correctly deducing that this had to be Toadstool Terror because of the mossy mushroom shape. Loje Nella never got much of a story added, just the “real name.” Conceptual artwork shows her with a tapering worm body and a pair of cricket-like legs, but some HACK at some point apparently gave her a humanlike body for a random book cover and other HACKS thought that was the canon design of her species.

“WOL CABBASHITE:” a thing stuck on the ceiling in only this shot with a tongue that wiggles around. The name was given by a Star Wars magazine which established that these are force-sensitive, barnacle-like intelligent aliens who live for thousands of years.

AMANAMAN: this is the alien people originally compared to a big dick but I thought he looked like a cross between a frog and a banana and I thought he was the coolest thing ever. I especially thought he was cool because he just looked weird, awkward and kind of goofy yet he carries around a bunch of rotting human heads and even part of a carcass. I actually saw him in a magazine about creature effects before I even knew he was from Star Wars and he gave me nightmares, so he was basically a bogeyman to me at 5 or 6 years old. Said magazine was in my late Grandmother’s ultra-creepy basement so I associate him with exactly that place. It had an unfinished wall that opened into a deep, dark crawlspace so that’s where he lived. Expanded Universe lore just reasoned he was from a race of like, tribalistic jungle headhunters which I always thought was lazy and bad. Unfortunately that’s still in the Disney canon. We’re really out here still assuming the first alien we see represents an entire planet’s culture??? I think Amanaman is just a twisted fucker is all. I think this is like aliens see Leatherface running around and assume that’s just what humans are.

Jabba’s Palace Characters

Salacious Crumb, Buboicullaar, Amanaman, Saelt-Marae, J'Quille, Ree-Yees, Tessek, Ephant Mon

[patmosboy]

Bib Fortuna: was a male Twi'lek who lived on the desert planet Tatooine. He served as Jabba the Hutt's majordomo and chief of staff for decades, handling all of the day-to-day operations at his master's palace. Ree-Yees: was a male Gran who worked for the Hutt crime lord Jabba Desilijic Tiure. The Gran's role in Jabba's Palace on the planet Tatooine was to care for the Hutt's pet Frog-dog Buboicullaar. Ree-Yees despised the Hutt employer, but not as much as Buboicullaar—who was in fact sentient—hated Ree-Yees. When the Jedi Knight Luke Skywalker was dropped into Jabba's rancor Pateesa's, pit to be eaten, Ree-Yees was amongst those who crowded round to watch the battle and cheer on the rancor. The Gran later rode on board Jabba's sail barge Khetanna to the Great Pit of Carkoon, where Skywalker was to be fed to a sarlacc alongside the smugglers Han Solo and Chewbacca. Skywalker and his companions managed to break free during the execution attempt, killing Jabba and destroying the barge and Ree-Yees along with it. Biker Scout: The Kenner Biker Scout action figure was really sleek and cool, even if the actual characters in The Return of the Jedi did spend most of their time running around like headless chickens and crashing into trees. What we get on Endor is almost a Biker Scout pantomime - 'look behind yoooou!' As the first Imperial victims of Ewok trickery the Biker Scouts effectively set the scene for just how inept a platoon of Imperial Stormtroopers is going to be in the forest terrain. Sending a platoon of Stormtroopers to Endor is a bit like sending 1960s Daleks to attack a tall building without an escalator. Lando Calrissian (Skiff Guard Disguise): Kenner's Lando Calrissian in Skiff Guard Disguise was a strikingly nice looking action figure for its day whilst at the same time not being out of keeping with a character who needed to skulk around inconspicuously in the shadows and blend in with the other courtiers at Jabba's Palace. The dark blue-black colour on Lando's tunic sleeves is incredibly rich and contributes an awful lot to just how good this action figure looks. #StarWars #ReturnoftheJedi #Kenner #BibFortuna #ReeYees #BikerScout #LandoCalrissian https://www.instagram.com/p/B7Z-U8pBmuJ/?igshid=1eq0wh450zly0

- •Ree Yees• Welcome back to Action Figure Kingdom’s Fantasy Figure! Just as a refresher, what we do here is build an argument for getting a character built in 6” scale for The Black Series! The three categories that we use are relevance, aesthetic appeal, and what we’d like to see accessory/packing/ideas wise. So we begin. - Relevance• The crowd funding for Jabba’s Barge has proven that there is still money to be made in toys. Speaking of Jabba’s Barge, what better line of figures to roll out than some 6” Jabba’s Palace/Barge scum and villainy? Ree Yees worked for the villainous space gangster Jabba the Hutt as the caretaker for Jabba’s pet frog-dog Bubo (short for Buboicullaar). Ree Yees was aboard the Khetanna when he perished during the rescue of Han Solo. - Aesthetic• First and foremost, it’s a major opinion in the toy community that there is no more a time that the Black Series shines than when it gets its hands on an alien. Ree Yees was given the 3 3/4” Black Series treatment back in 2014. It’s time to bring that cast to the 6” scale. I imagine this beautiful head sculpt with the new facial printing app, maybe some articulation of the eye stalks? The outfit doesn’t have to be too different than the 3 3/4 inch. Maybe just give the outfit a dark wash so we know he’s seen some time on the dunes! I’d be super interested to see how they handle articulation of those huge paws of his. - Execution• Maybe it’s just me, but a lot of the time, I see using these secondary characters as a special opportunity to give hardcore collectors more than they’d expect with main protagonist/antagonist characters. This pack I have in mine could easily sell for about $69.99 if you included a blaster and a scale version of Bubo! Sideshow collectibles did an excellent 1/6 scale version of Bubo. I’d love to see Hasbro step up and knock this one out of the park! There’s not really a need for soft goods on this fella, so big opportunity to accentuate in other ways.
