But I just learned (or it just clicked) that the race of squid-looking aliens... they’re literally called Mon Calamari. And I can’t decide if that’s super groan worthy, awesome, or both 🙂

4. The name of their species wasn't spoken in their introductory film, "Return Of The Jedi."

But it was in the novelization of the film. I knew early on what they were called.

The Mon Calamari were among the first species to join the Rebel Alliance. And although humans were considered the heart of the Rebellion, the Mon Calamari were considered the soul.

5. Many of them got battered and fried fighting the DS-1 and DS-2 Death Stars nt

6. The Mon Calamari

are fish like, not squid like. They don't have tentacles.
