"I look at this book as a collection of archaeological data—an attempt to show sides of these monsters and aliens rarely seen."
George Lucas, foreword

Monsters and Aliens from George Lucas is a 1993 book by Bob Carrau. It contains biographical information for beings and creatures seen in concept art and photos from various Lucasfilm productions.

[edit] Canonicity

Leland Chee has indicated that information in the book is non-canonical. However, a couple of elements have been known to make their way into continuity through other publications.[1] Canonical species mentioned within the non-canonical text of the book include: Duros, Gamorreans, Hutts, Ithorians, and the Rancor, although the Ithorians are portrayed differently than the canonical species. Additionally, the world of Endor and the character Terak is mentioned, the latter identified as a "Known Associate" of "The Marauder of Endor".

The book introduced the character Dyslogia Twang, who later reappeared in HoloNet News Vol. 531 53. Po Ruddle Lingsnot, a character from The Illustrated Star Wars Universe, appears to also have been inspired by this book. Musings of an Ithorian was later republished on Star Wars Hyperspace.
