Lucasfilm’s senior content coordinator Dana Jennings recently sat down with Pablo Hidalgo to talk about some of the new alien characters that are mentioned/detailed in his new must-own Rogue One Ultimate Visual Guide publication. Check out the excerpt below and be sure to take the provided source link for the full interview as you won’t want to miss it.
It’s a new year and we’re starting it off right with a special edition of Much to Learn featuring the Lucasfilm Story Group’s Pablo Hidalgo! I got a chance to chat with Pablo about some of the aliens featured in his new book Star Wars: Rogue One: The Ultimate Visual Guide and got an exclusive closer look at some of my personal favorites.
StarWars.com: Thanks a bunch for taking time to talk to us about the aliens of Rogue One, Pablo! After seeing Rogue One, I, like I’m sure many others, had so many questions about those new guys roaming in the background. There’s one in particular that I recall from the first trailer — he’s lying in the bed across from Jyn in prison and he has these glorious tentacles protruding from his face. Who is this guy and what can you tell us about him or his species?
Pablo Hidalgo: Well, one thing to clarify that he is actually a she. The novelization of Rogue One by Alexander Freed clarified that Jyn’s cellmate calls herself Nail. In prison, I guess it’s worthwhile to have a tough nickname. Turns out everyone else calls her “Kennel” because she’s got parasites. Her “real” name is Oolin Musters. And she is played by Kiran Shah (a man, but hey, that’s acting for you).
