I just bought the Ultimate Alien Anthology. I am planning on looking through it and picking a couple of races. I will then list them for Daiymo, to make sure they are acceptable. Then on to character creation.

Sounds good Darth Ecks. The Ultimate Alien Anthology is a pretty neat little book. IMHO the recent SW books have been quite good. There a little thin and a bit overpriced b/c of the SW name, but have good stuff.
Jemal I dont want to pry anyone away from starfighter ace, its just that someone with space piloting skills would help. We can work around it if need be, but this is space fantasy after all /evil grin..

Ok, I have undertaken the gigantic task of finding suitable species for me to play...after looking through all of them in the last day, I have come upon 5 that I would prefer over the others. I am going to list my two favorite, and if those aren't allowed, then I'll list the others. These two species are the Gand and the Iktotchi.
Also, as I am going to be a Jedi Guardian Ace, I am sort of curious as to what all the key abilities are. I imagine Piloting, Astrogating, Computer Use, and Repair which makes intelligence pretty important, as well as dexterity for piloting, then strength and constitution for regular combat and force skills.

OK here are class skills for Jedi Ace Astrogate,Computer Use, Pilot, Profession, Repair,Knowledge,Repair, and Spot.
Requisites are force sensitive feat, BAB +4,pilot 6 ranks, see force 4 ranks
As for races, both would be ok. A Gand would be a bit odd as a Jedi, I think, even more than a Gungan given their focus on group identity. Plus the fact they dont speak Basic is a minor problem, although your PC could be one of the rare ones that does. However, anything is possible, and it would be fun to go around constantly referring to yourself in the third person.
The Iktochi as a Jedi would be a better fit IMHO, and to me at least a lot of fun to play. Maybe a little less fun since they seem to be stoic types (actually the Gand seem a bit reserved too I guess), but the farseeing thing is cool.
Both could work. Out of curiosity what are your other choices?

Yeah, I really think the Gand could be a fun character to play, but I think the Iktotchi I agree are a better fit, so I am gonna go with them. The other races I was considering were the Duros, the Anomid and the Kel Dor. And I actually tend to like to play stoic types (my favorite dnd class is paladin). I'll fire the info to Douane and he can help me create the character.

A partial pic of an Iktocki is here hopefully: http://www.starwars.com/databank/character/saeseetiin/index.html
Iktochi are well muscled humanoids with down turned horns and tough wrinkled skin. They possess limited precognition abilities, usually in the forms of prophetic dreams which they have little control over.

Yeah, I got that email, it did help. There was an Iktotchi in episode 2, a Jedi (even survived the battle in the arena). He has horns coming down both sides of his head...here's a link to a picture of him http://www.starwars.com/databank/character/saeseetiin/eu.html
Still here!
I just had to read the "players from hell" thread in general discussion.
Thanks, Daiymo and Darth,
I'll freely admit being not exactly knowledgable concerning the somewhat more obscure species of SW.
The SW encyclopaedia I downloaded somewhere had an short and poignant description: "Basically, they look like hairless Wampas."
