Yourellians or Ureallians, a race of large, slime-covered and deformed aliens, with green skin and gills, hunted and trapped Wookiees on Yavin. They spoke the Wookiee language Shyriiwook.

Behind the scenesEdit

Yourellians were described in George Lucas's rough draft for the original movie. Han Solo was originally a "Ureallian" (the spelling varies). He is encountered at Gordon, in a cantina, and joins the heroes. A different, villainous group were later encountered on Yavin by the protagonists and defeated, rescuing Chewbacca.

The name Yourellian or Ureallian was slightly changed by the addition of a K or C to become Korellian or Corellian, the Human ethnicity of Han Solo in later drafts.
