- "Wait a minute, you've never heard of Wroonians? C'mon, they're about as near-Human as you can get while still having that cool attitude about them. Some of my best smuggler contacts are Wroonians."
- ―Platt Okeefe[src]
The Wroonians were a blue-skinned race of Near-Humans from the planet Wroona in the Inner Rim Territories, a world in the same sector as the Bestine system. Wroonians could be distinguished from baseline Humans not only by their blue skin (even blue lips), but by their yellow irises. Wroonian society was wealthy, fun-loving, and deeply spiritual; as a result, Wroonians often wore ornate clothing and tattoos. Wroonians loved travel both at sea and in space. A well-traveled species, they were represented in the Galactic Republic by Twi'lek Senator Chi Eekway and later were part of the Galactic Empire. There were numerous Wroonian colonies, such as on Saleucami. They are very similar to the Chiss and it has been suggested that the two species are related, although it is not known for sure.
[edit] Behind the scenes
While Wroonians had been part of the Expanded Universe for years, the first Wroonian to appear in the Star Wars movies was played by George Lucas.
