Awesome. Cool coincidence. So wish they had made this be the new movie. Off to share.
Thanks Tamer! I too was hoping JJ would throw us old timers a bone and include a Noghri or two in the film (can we say Leia's bodyguard?)

Inspired choice to use a Hobbit dwarf figure... I think the Noghri are supposed to be kinda squat, right?

Thanks for the feedback Forceflow! Yes, Noghri are supposed to be squat "compact killing machines." Wookieepedia's article says they range in size from 1.4 to 1.7 meters (about 4'7" to 5'5"). Obviously using Dwalin puts Kharnubackh toward the top end of that height, but I'm okay with that. I'm thinking about building a second one using a Kili body, but we'll see if I ever get to it.

Decided to add a photo of Kharnubackh with everyone's favorite Grand Admiral:

A background character:

Deski "Ripper" Soeing - an up-and-coming swoop racer.



Recipe:
     Head = Generator Rex figure
     Torso/belt = clone wars Cody
     Lower arms = Breha Organa
     Hands = Zam Wessell
     Legs = Luke Skywalker

I am planning to do a custom swoop for him at some point.

And another background character:

Skarim, a Bandalog traveler: the Bandalog are a little known (and rarely encountered) species that inhabit one of the small moons, Magin, that orbit the giant barren world of Zenis-D right at the edge of the Unknown Region. Bandalog are a long-lived and slow-paced species that generally practice a philosophy of intentional simplicity. This has led to most who encounter the Bandalog seeing them as no threat and has allowed the Bandalog to live at peace for eons. In truth, the Bandalog have very advanced technology (like Skarim's vibronic utilitool), but are non-violent. Bandalog are deliberate and thoughtful and most view themselves as philosopher-poets, not leaving their home planet. Skarim was chosen, because he is young (three hundred years old) and more adventurous than most, to travel to Bimmisaari and other university worlds to explore the philosophical ideas of the rest of the galaxy and report back to his home world what he has discovered.





Head:
     Head = Dollar Tree Randall Boggs plastic statue
     Torso and arms = Mas Amedda
     Tunic = mail away Bith musician
     Legs = fodder bin (an early Plo Koon, I think)

Thanks Tamer! Always looking for ways to expand the alien pool for Star Wars. Saw this R. Boggs and thought "okay, that would be a bit too funny." I'm pretty happy with the final product though.

Here's a Wookiee Jedi from the EU named Kirlocca:



I've only seen a couple of reference images, the links which I included here:

http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/starwars/images/7/7b/Kirlocca.JPG/revision/latest?cb=20120612164337

http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/starwars/images/6/65/Kirlocca_training.jpg/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/250?cb=20120504031216

Recipe:
     Head = sneak peak Wookiee warrior figure with some braids removed
     Torso/upper legs/upper arms/hands = Merumeru figure
     Lower arms/feet/pouch = Chewie
     Lower legs = Sandstorm Chewie (2xs)
     
I did the soft goods, one image showed just the vest, the other showed a tunic and vest, I opted for the later.

One more today. I saw this Wilykit figure on clearance and bought it thinking I could make a Padawan out of her. I finally got around to it.



Recipe:
     Head and arms = Wilykit figure
     Body = VC Padawan Anakin

Let's call the character Shanda and say she is a Jazbinan youngling (Jazbinan are an EU feline species from the 1999 "Vader's Quest" comics, they have more human facial features than the Triani or Cathar).

I have been offline for a few days and wanted to make sure I got this on the front page. I like the looks of both!

I add to the Star Wars universe - Bochuffu, a Wookiee mercenary. "Bo" survived a slave uprising on Mygeeto, but lost an arm in the process. Having been a Separatist industrial planet during the Clone Wars, there were plenty of droid parts laying around, which became a prosthetic for him (complete with weapons). He now plies the space lanes selling his strength, rage and guns to the highest bidder (or whoever he happens to like at the moment).





Recipe:
     Head = Tarfful
     Body = Wookiee Warrior
     Prosthetic = Clone Wars Super Battle Droid
     Lower legs = Comic pack Yuuzhan Vong
     Gun = random Chap Mei pack-in weapon//Satchel = Yarua
