Much to learn you still have.
Twi'leks...or Tweeleks, or Twil-leks..
However you say it, they're the tendril-sporting, often dancing, sadly sold into slavery residents
of Ryloth.
We're talking Aayla Secura, Bib Fortuna, Bib's creepy cousin Beezer and the Syndullas.
Their head tails called Lekku, are super sensitive, and can even be used to communicate.
Most Twi'leks have two Lekku, except Orn Free Taa who has four because…Star Wars.
You must keep up your strength!
Twi'leks have a taste for spicy mynock meat, but their food's not the only thing that's
hot.
Their body temperatures are higher than other humanoids and get higher when in fear.
So if they're dancing for their life in Jabba's Palace, it's safe to say they're
sweating up a storm.
Additional fun fact, Twi'lek men and women have different ears.
Males are pointy and elfin, and women have these weird, flexible cone-shaped things that
they like to cover up with headgear.
Want more Twi'lek tidbits?

He's headed towards that small moon.
That's no moon.
This week is going to be really fun.
We have someone who's work you are very familiar with but you might not know his face.
Please welcome Mike Quinn Thank you very much, good to be here!
Now I didn't say your most popular character's name because it's a bit of a debate.
And I want to settle it here, officially.
Okay, officially.
Exclusively on The Star Wars Show, settle the debate.
How do you pronounce, Nien Numb.
How do you pronounce the name Nien Numb.
I've always said Nien Numb, yeah most people do.
Nien Numb what have it.
His name is never mentioned on any film or anything so you kind of go with how it looks.
There really isn't a right or wrong way but when he started out as a background chorus
line creature he was number 9 on the list.
And then when he got upgraded into the Falcon, they said we have to give him a name.
Let's call him Nien Numb.
To me he has always been Nien Numb.
It's easy to remember.
And since you are Nien Numb, it is now Nien Numb.
Officially on The Star Wars Show.
Yes!
We've settled it once and for all.
Your puppeteering career is long and full of really exciting stuff.
You worked on the Dark Crystal, yes!
Muppets, how did you decide that was going to be your path.
I know you started having interest in it when you were quite young.
Yeah I always loved puppets as a kid and I was kind of shy so hiding behind puppets seemed
to be a natural thing for me.
But then when the Muppet Show came on I became obsessed and really wanted to learn how these
things were performed and designed and built.
Just kind of immersed myself in that world.
I learned really the basics in the first few years of my career initially on the Great
Muppet Caper I'd assist Jim Henson and Frank Oz and characters and double up for principal
characters so you learn really fast in the field.
I mean that's the best way to learn.
I tried to self teach myself initially some of the basics before I started working on
them.
But back then, there were no puppetry schools with that kind of technique I'm actually
starting an online puppetry academy later this summer so that'll be first training
academy for that kind of puppetry.
That's exciting.
It's supposed to be a lineage of what I've learned from those guys at the beginning.
So moving on to Star Wars specifically, you were Riiiz.
Yes I did a puppet close-up of Raiz.
You helped Frank Oz with some Yoda scenes.
Yeah in the hut there, I was his right hand.
I go sort of from character to character.
That is super cool.
When you're a puppeteer you can be anybody.
You can be male, female, young, old, creature, monster
What was it like coming back to Nien Numb for The Force Awakens?
It was amazing.
It was something that I've always wanted to do and was hoping would happen at some
point.
Magically, somehow the galaxy I should say allowed me to do that.
When the opportunity finally came up I thought, whatever happens I have to do this.
The thought of anyone else performing Nien Numb, no I can't.
I've got to make this happen somehow.
I have to be available.
It was a gift and a very surreal thing to step back into that character but now you've
got the new cast.
New characters, and you're coming in as kind of the old guy now which I quite like.
I can't wait to see what he's up to in the future.
But where can people go to see what you're up to?
Your puppeteering school you're getting started?
Oh yeah!
Well that's Secrets of Puppetry, secretsofpuppetry.com but I'm excited about it.
I wish I had something like that when I was starting out.
There was nothing.
You couldn't even Google it!
There was no such thing as Google!
How do I become a puppeteer?
I'm sure fans today will definitely use that and appreciate it.
Definitely yeah thank you!
Thank you so much for coming by it was great meeting you.
Oh my goodness it was great fun and I had no idea that this was set up in your parent's
basement.
That's amazing!
Well that's our show for this week.
OH MY GOD!
CHEESE!
Where have you been?
It's been like, what, 4 months since we last saw you?
No that's ridiculous, I am not going to guess.
We don't have time to guess!
Yeah, dude, it's like the last 90 seconds of the show, we need to wrap this up and then
we both have to get on a flight to LA…for reasons…
Alright, fine, yes, that's a great compromise, we can ask them to guess.
If you have an interesting theory or guess as to where Cheese has been all this time,
send it to us using the hashtag #WheresCh33z and we'll feature not only our favorite
theories, but the real answer next week.
And as always, follow us on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, like, comment and subscribe on
YouTube and may the Force be with you.
It's like Forces of Destiny Cheese Edition.
Oh I'm so into that The little hidden adventures of Cheese.
The things that were between the cracks that you didn't even notice.
It's gonna be thrilling.
We can use that earthquake as our blooper I'm gonna go to a Disneyland.
And I'm gonna drink a blue milk with an alien.
Build a model and bring it back.
Yeah sure.
Do a heist.
I need you to do a heist for me.
No I like my job thanks.
Do one heist just this once!
