I JUST HAD AN IDEA! Why don't we have a tribe of primitive but sentient natives that practice the Force through Shamans and Summoners and Witch Doctors and the like.
Sorry about that I've been quite busy recently. Anyway, I mean we've essentially moved on to wildlife already. So what are your thoughts on that front? I don't mind the tribal sentient idea, could be good for us. I quite like the idea of a lot of flying creatures. With general high altitudes, mountains and tall trees it would make a lot of sense.
Flying creatures would be nice, but If there are a lot of them, there would naturally be some pretty big flying predators we'd have to deal with. I'm talking like pterodactyl big. As for what kind of flying creatures we could find on our planet, I thought we could use variations of earth's bugs and rare tropical birds or maybe a humanoid flying race of sentients. Other than flying creatures, I was thinking there would be lots of reptiles roaming around as it seems to be a jungle theme going on in the reference pics. Things like big lizards, snakes, or maybe even some made up reptilian species of sentients.
This is just a few things off the top, I'll add more if I think of any.
I'm just going to post Zim finding the cave and meditating giving off high signatures of force. If you're interested in being the member that discovers him please message me.
This isn't completely connected to the planet, but what if people had to survive on it alone for some amount of time for like a rite of passage or something?
