Character Visualization without Spoilers

Recommendations

So I have been getting into reading when I can and I’ve been reading Star Wars books (finished thrawn trilogy, halfway through bane). One thing I would love is to be able to visualize what some of these characters look like without revealing any significant spoilers of the story. Does anyone know of/have a resource that’ll allow me to do this? I’ve noticed the authors do a great job at describing the characters, but sometimes I don’t know what specific races are in Star Wars (e.g. somehow I didn’t know what Thrawns race was called so when I saw “Chass woman” I was confused)

Anyways, just let me know. Happy new years

Just look up the character/race on Wookieepedia, most of the articles should have a picture at the top.

That’s fair, that is the solution I settled on before I decided to post this, just to make sure I wasn’t missing any amazing resource

You can also look up the character on there, just don’t read. If you’re on mobile, their picture will take up the screen before you get to any text. You can click “view image” and it opens it up for you to scroll through just the images on the article. Can’t guarantee you’ll never see anything that you might consider a spoiler, but I personally never have.

I just google the name or species to get an idea. I just add star wars to the end of the search.

Exactly my strategy…

I have been a fan of the franchise since ‘97, so I know what a majority of the species look like automatically, but there are just so many of them that I often forget or otherwise misremember some of the more obscure or newer ones.

I got a Gran mixed up with a Talz for the entirety of Yoda: Dark Rendezvous.
