Star Wars has so many cool planets and does so little with them

[kiffu]

This blog will serve as a repository for my worldbuilding for the Kiffar, a near-Human species from Star Wars.

I intend to collect all canon/legends information on the Kiffar that I can find. This includes information from the comics, RPG sourcebooks, and other official Star Wars content. These compilations will be tagged 'canonical lore'.

Sometimes I will theorize about different things in the lore in a canon-compliant way. This will be tagged 'canon is a box of scraps and i am making a quilt'.

My worldbuilding will include culture, government, language, and geography, along with whatever else strikes my fancy. It will be tagged 'kiffar worldbuilding'.

Please feel free to send me asks! It pushes me to think about topics I wouldn't have necessarily developed on my own.

I like/follow from colonelcaroldanvers and have a star wars sideblog at sithfox.

Various reference tags below for my ease of access.

“oh, I live in a desert and-”

“wow that must be so terrible” “deserts are so ugly” “I would never want to live in a wasteland like that” “it’s just empty nothingness”

wishing 10,000 exploding hammers upon you

behold New Mexico

And the Mojave!

No, wait. I’m not done. I love the desert too much.

Have some Utah! too.

And those last two should be a reminder that humans have been living and thriving in the desert for thousands of years!
