[edit] Pronunciation

Is that really neccissary? All it does it take up extra space. Plus, the blocks take away the whole meaning of having it there. Cmdr. J. Nebulax 15:25, 6 Nov 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Mouse?

Is there an entry for him, I couldn't find one?

http://www.theforce.net/comics/images/dhcovers/large/empire37pr.jpg

That's if he's a Neimoidian and not a Duros.

• As of now, I don't think there's any entry for him. And he's definitely a Neimoidian. Admiral J. Nebulax 00:20, 27 January 2006 (UTC)
• I asked over at the Dark Horse forums and Randy Stradley said he's a Duros, I was hopeing he was a Neimoidian.
  • He looks more like a Neimoidian than a Duros. Admiral J. Nebulax 21:48, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
    • You're right, especially his eyes. Maybe he's one of the post-Clone War Neimoidians who took to calling themselves Duros? - Kooshmeister

• • • • Well, where did you found the image? --Clone Paratrooper 11:20, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
        • He is Mouse. He has an entry. - Skippy Farlstendoiro 07:30, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
          • Please don't restart old topics. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax ^{(Imperial Holovision)} 11:15, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The Unseen Queen

Who are the Neimoidian(s) in The Unseen Queen?

• Not named. It's only one, and that Neimoidian was a leader of a group of Aqualish. Admiral J. Nebulax 00:36, 11 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Neimoidian Padawan?

Could this be a Neimoidian Padawan?--Rune Haako 23:17, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

• It looks more like a Duros. Admiral J. Nebulax ^(talk) 23:20, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Who is this Neimoidian?

All the other ones are accounted for.--Rune Haako 20:06, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

Haako's in the wrong outfit though.

• Can we positively call him/her a Neimoidian? Admiral J. Nebulax ^(talk) 20:17, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
  • I think that's Haako (judging by his hat and mantle), but that still leaves fake Haako in panel 4. - Lord Hydronium 23:41, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
    • That's definitely not Haako, nor his outfit. Admiral J. Nebulax ^(talk) 00:18, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
      • The only named are Nute Gunray, Rute Gunnay and Rune Haako. Perhaps the other is Lott Dodd? QuentinGeorge 05:28, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
        • It would seem logical, but still, his fate is unknown. Admiral J. Nebulax ^(talk) 21:01, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
        • Well I dunno about the comic but there are only nine Neimoidians in the Mustafar control room in the film: Nute, Rune, Rute, two wariors and four controllers. I checked every inch of it while watching the film last night. Lott Dod isn't anywhere in sight, nor is anyone who could potentially be him. - Kooshmeister
          • That's because Lott Dod wasn't on Mustafar unless a good source says otherwise. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax ^{(Imperial Holovision)} 21:53, 8 May 2006 (UTC)
            • Actually I think it may be Haako, and just not a very good depiction, and that they just got him right in that one panel. lol--Rune Haako 02:45, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
              • Yeah, I think you're right. Grand Admiral J. Nebulax ^{(Imperial Holovision)} 14:40, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Famous members.

Should Vale really be considered a famous Neimoidian? Admiral J. Nebulax ^(talk) 00:26, 6 April 2006 (UTC)

• Can you think of any other Neimoidians that don't fit the greedy, cowardly, starve your younglings so they are better organizers stereotype? I had to put in someone that put them in a positive light. -- SFH 00:35, 6 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Still, she's not exactly a well-known Neimoidian. Most people would think, "Who's that Neimoidian? Was she the pilot of the Droid Control Ship?" if they never saw Vale's article. Admiral J. Nebulax ^(talk) 17:38, 5 April 2006 (PDT)

[edit] Neimoidian headgear

Would it be prudent to have articles for the Neimoidians' hats, at least the ones identified by name in the Visual Dictionaries? I've gone through and gotten the following hats:

• Viceroy's crested tiara - Nute in TPM
• Neimoidian headdress - Nute in AOTC
• Attorney's cowl - Rune in TPM
• Heritage miter - Rune in ROTS
• Vessel command officer's miter - Daultay and Lushros Dofine
• Neimoidian senatorial miter - Lott Dod
• Command headdress - Rute Gunnay
• Royal Guard helmet - Neimoidian warriors

Ones I don't think will get an entry, due to their vague names/descriptions:

• Subordinate's miter - Tey How, Sil Unch and Neimoidian controllers (this one is a bit iffy since it's identical to the vessel command officer's miter)
• Large, pomous miter - Gilramos (it's actually more of a crown, but whatever).

Only Nute's big turban-esque miter in ROTS goes unnamed/undescribed in the VDs. If it's not prudent to grant all of these their own articles, perhaps they merit a mention in Neimoidian itself, seeing as how elaborate headgear is a big part of their culture. -Kooshmeister

• How about one big article: Neimoidian headgear with subsections for each? Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax ^{(Imperial Holovision)} 00:55, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Why didn't I think of that? I sure feel silly now. Consider the article as good as made. -Kooshmeister
    • You did—notice the section you have it under. ;) Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax ^{(Imperial Holovision)} 00:57, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] ANH

I heard that the Duros in the ANH cantina were retconned to be Neimoidians, is it true? - Sikon [Talk] 08:36, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

• Nope. They're definately Duros. In fact, that's where Lucas got the inspiration for the look of the Moids, so they haven't been changed - Kwenn 08:44, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
• Now whoever gave you that idea, Sikon? They've always been Duros, and are related to the Nematoads, err I mean Neimoidians. -- Riffsyphon1024 08:56, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
  • If one were to count the appearance of a Neimoidian shuttle over Mos Eisley in Star Wars: Complete Locations, then they would be in ANH. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax ^{(Imperial Holovision)} 12:54, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] TPM Quote

Who's the neimoidian in the senate who says in episode I: "I object, we have no proofs"? --Clone Paratrooper 13:56, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

• Trade Federation Senator Lott Dod. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax ^{(Imperial Holovision)} 13:58, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Related to Duros

Should they be called a Near-Duros species as are the numerous referenced Near-Human species?

• They are called near-Duros. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax ^{(Imperial Holovision)} 19:11, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Neimoidian Force Sensitives

I've been looking around for quite a while and I can't find any information regarding whether or not Neimoidians are force sensitive. Forgive this posted message if I didn't do it right, as I don't often edit these wikis, but do any of you know of force sensitive Neimoidians (whether or not they were dark or jedi is irrelevant)?--68.0.60.167 00:33, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

• Every species has at least one Force-sensitive member. However, due to the Neimoidians' greed and fearfulness, I doubt they would be good candidates for Jedi, light or dark. Grand Admiral J. Nebulax ^{(Imperial Holovision)} 00:35, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Main image

The Gunray argument is valid, but why use an illustration when we have perfectly good photographs? -- Ozzel 20:45, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

• Uh, since when do we have to? —Grand Admiral J. Nebulax ^{(Imperial Holovision)} 20:46, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Since when can we not? -- Ozzel 20:48, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
    • There's no policy. But both images are of a good quality, and a Gunray image is already in the article. If you can find a good-quality image of a Neimoidian who currently does not have their picture in the article, I'll be fine with that. —Grand Admiral J. Nebulax ^{(Imperial Holovision)} 20:49, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
      • this is a good one too, but Dodd is already pictured as well. However we could replace that image. There are also several others here. -- Ozzel 20:53, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
        • That I'll support. And as for the image to replace Dod's current one here, what about that profile shot of Rute Gunnay? —Grand Admiral J. Nebulax ^{(Imperial Holovision)} 20:55, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
          • I'd already put the NEGAS one there; and I see why you switched those. I think it looks pretty good now. -- Ozzel 21:05, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
            • I agree. —Grand Admiral J. Nebulax ^{(Imperial Holovision)} 23:33, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] More Pics?

I think we need a pic of a neimoidian wearing a subordinates outfit,the one with the wave mantle—Troyb

• Well, we do have a gallery of Neimoidian images. —Grand Admiral J. Nebulax ^{(Imperial Holovision)} 20:35, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

• yes but we dont have one of a neimoidian wearing a subordinates outfit—Troyb
  • I believe we do, on Neimoidian headgear. —Grand Admiral J. Nebulax ^{(Imperial Holovision)} 15:19, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

ah,thanks Admiral—Troyb

• You're welcome. —Grand Admiral J. Nebulax ^{(Imperial Holovision)} 15:26, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Death's Head

What is the source of this alleged link between the appearance of necrotic Nemoidians and the B1s? I mean more than the mention of some printed materials. A specific citation would be helpful I think. Sochwa 07:11, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

• A mention is an official source is all that is needed to make it canon. —Grand Admiral J. Nebulax ^{(Imperial Holovision)} 11:50, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Reptilian

Are the Neimoidians reptilian humanoids?

• They're actually more like humanoid insects. —Grand Admiral J. Nebulax ^{(Imperial Holovision)} 20:06, 19 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Can you provide a source for that? They're direct offshoots of the Duros, and as I said on Talk:Duros#Reptilian?, the index in Alien Encounters says Duros (and thus Neimoidians) are mammals, but The Essential Guide to Alien Species refers to Neimoidians (and therefore Duros) as reptilian. Is there a source IDing them as insects too? —Silly Dan _(talk) 01:37, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
    • I'm not sure if they're specifically called "insectoid" in a source, but they are insect-like reptillian mammals because of the way they are born. It is a rather confusing matter, though. —Grand Admiral J. Nebulax ^{(Imperial Holovision)} 15:07, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Accent in french version

"In the German version of the prequel trilogy, the Neimoidians were given French accents (and vice versa for the French version)."

Though they do indeed have a french accent in the german version, I contest the contrary. French is my mother tongue, and, in my humble opinion, Neimoidians in french version have a rather russian-like accent. LelalMekha 15:56, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

• Really? Having not watched the French/German version, I can't really comment much, but I'd just like to say that to some people, German and Russian accents sound quite similar--although in terms of stereotypes, Germans tend to snap more and Russians slur more. Just wanted to point that out. Unit 8311 16:00, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Might be true. But I also remember the time when I was learning German. If I ever had pronounced anything the way those Neimoidian do, the teacher would have fired me ^^ LelalMekha 16:04, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
• I bring my support to LelalMekha's objection. "French neimoidians" clearly have a russian accent, not a german one. I think a little editing wouldn't hurt ;)... invock

[edit] clone wars
