A long time ago I heard of a rumor that Lucas envisioned some Jedi that weren't humanoid. Some of these aliens had tentacles or didn't have limbs. They used the force to wield their light saber weapons.

I'm pretty sure we won't see anything like this in ROTS, but it would be cool.

Yeah, plus we've already gotten a look at some non-human Jedi in AOTC. But they all had limbs.

non humanOID, not non-human

that'd be cool too see

My life will not be complete until I see a Hutt Jedi

a wookie jedi would be cool too

I thought we had Alien Jedi already.....
A wookiee Jedi would be cool though...
And I dont want to even think about a Hutt Jedi....

non-humanoid does not mean simply alien. Humanoid is anything human looking, including wookiees. If you have two legs and two arms you're fairly humanoid. even a hutt is humanoid. He said NON humanoid. He's talking about things that look more like a jello mold. or a squid. something extremely animal, that doesn't walk upright neccissarily. And yes that would be cool, the closest I've seen is in the tales of the jedi comics, they had the wolflike jedi master that was huge. I wish they'd do something like that in the films. Really wow people with some serious divesity of species.

Thank you! Finally someone that understands where I was coming from.

We should take a look the Jedi council from TPM.....

why?? they all had two legs and two arms and a head, which is humanoid. so why would we look at them in a thread about NON HUMANOID JEDI?

What 'bout Oppo Rancis? He has tentacles if I remember correctly...

Mortanius makes a good point, Lucas should've put in some really odd-looking Jedi (even non-Jedi). Why not? Isn't that what the CG is for? To make things that couldn't be done before?

Oppo Rancis is a humanoid lifeform. Like I said before, Jabba is humanoid. Both of these characters have a generally human like form. Now, if say... a large wolf like thing was actually a jedi, and communicated through the force with other Jedi, that would be non-humanoid. Or if some gelatinous blob was a jedi, and used the force to communicate with others and to wield a lightsaber, that would be non-humanoid. If there was a huge bat like creature (not like man-bat from batman) but a huge @$$ bat, that would be non-humanoid. All the jedi people are pointing out have animalistic qualities, but they've been added/combined with the general human form. Hense the term Humanoid. I can't believe so many people don't understand humanoid vs non humanoid. Hasn't anyone here taken Biology? Anthropology?

Here: and in-universe look at what could be a non-humanoid jedi:
Dewbacks, Bantha's, Ronto's, Kaadu's and anything else in that range. Now, these creatures don't appear to be much smarter than horses or cows, but, ILM could design NEW creatures that would be highly intelligent, but evolved to being large or small animals because that's what their planet demanded of them in order to survive. So they'd be smart (or smarter) than the average HUMANOID, but they wouldn't have human like qualities, they'd be animalistic, which would be NON-HUMANOID. Everybody with me now? Or does Mr. Wizard need to do another demo?
