7. Bith

Where my musicians at? The Bith are known for one thing (other than Darth Tenebrous)—pausing their music to allow bar patrons to die, and then returning to playing once the the death is complete. It shows that Bith have a pithy sense of humor that can lend itself to a nice band story focused on a Bith musician who seeks to change the galaxy with his musical brilliance stemming from their sensational hearing.

Call the flick “Mad About Me,” the song they played in the Cantina. Or Figrin D’an and the Modal Nodes. Right? Just me?

If so, then consider that apart from being musicians, Bith were also renowned scientists and engineers. It’s widely established that sound is a powerful weapon, and the Bith would know better than most the power they can wield with it. So many this whole “change the galaxy with music” thing isn’t just me and my recent obsession with movies about musicians.

Give me a spaceship armada that uses sounds to override opposing ships. Come on!
