We all know who was Luke, Han Solo, Leia, and all others from the first pages and movie posters. Do we know all characters that appear somewhere in the Star Wars Univers? Let's start to introduce them one by one :)
This time lets take a closer look at Amanaman. He appeared in just a few scenes or few pages within the history of Star Wars, so thats why he is worth mentioning :)
Amanaman was the nickname given to a specific male Amani present at Jabba the Hutt's palace. A giant, yellow, shriveled creature with its long gangly arms and a green back with a striped pattern was also known as the "head hunters" due to a strange habit of collecting their victims' heads as souvenirs.
The Amanin homeworld has been named Maridun, according to Galaxy Guide 12. The planet is not described in detail, but is said to be primitive and has at least two terrain types: open plains and forests (where the natives are said to dwell).
Amanaman appeared in Return of the Jedi and was played by puppeteer Ailsa Berk. Since Amanaman does not speak, Ailsa is officially credited as a "mime artist." Amanaman is also visible during several scenes in Jabba's Palace.
Even though Amanaman is not too popular... we may say, that it`s not popular at all as to the role in Star Wars, he appeared in few comics such as: "A Hunter's Fate: Greedo's Tale" and "X-Wing Rogue Squadron - Battleground: Tatooine #1". He even was presented on an Avengers: Star Wars Amanaman Sketch Cover by Charles Paul Wilson III. But the biggest popularity brings him of course (as always with rare characters) being an action figure.
