Lethan Twi'leks are a fictional alien race featured in the Star Wars franchise.

Description[]
Lethan Twi'leks are one of two dominant sub-species of Twi'lek and are native to the planet Ryloth. Lethan Twi'leks are distinguished from other Twi'leks, known as Rutian Twi'leks, by their dark, red skin tone. Lethans are a rare breed of Twi'lek in contrast to their Rutian cousins, whose skins hues are usually within the blue-green spectrum of colors. Some Lethan Twi'leks have been known to be Force-sensitive and have even become Sith Lords such as Darth Ruyn and his apprentice Darth Talon. Other Lethan Twi'leks of note include Kelad'den, warrior of the Anti-Republic Liberation Front following the New Sith Wars, Zhar Lestin, a Lethan Jedi Master and member of the Dantooine Enclave Council during the Mandalorian Wars and the Jedi Civil War, and Shakka, a slave owned by the Anx trader Graxol Kelvynn in 32 BBY.
Notes & Trivia[]
- Shakka is the first Lethan Twi'lek featured in a canonical source.
