A mouth was a feature of anatomy found in many species which was used to eat, speak, and breathe. The Kallidahin did not have mouths, but could still breathe and speak.[2] Ithorians had two mouths, one on either side of their neck,[3] and their unique throat structure prevented them from speaking Galactic Basic Standard. Cosians were a species that had faces that elongated into beaked mouths.[4] The Shawda Ubb Rappertunie, a member of the Max Rebo Band, played an instrument known as a Growdi Harmonique, which required the use of his fingers, toes, and mouth.[5]
Behind the scenes[]
Mouths first appeared in the 1977 film Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope, the first installment of the Star Wars original trilogy.[6]
During the production of A New Hope, the mechanism to move Greedo's mouth broke just before he needed to be shot. Maria De Aragon, who played Greedo in close-up shots, was then asked to put a clothespin between her teeth to move Greedo's mouth, making Greedo come to life.[7]
