Isablah Posted January 6, 2021 Posted January 6, 2021 (edited) 1)- Headbands: Add new/more Twi’lek headdress/wraps - possibly even better as actual gear, so that we could dye them, as well. Suggestions: - Aayla Secura - Rachi Sitra & Lyn Me / Mission Vao - Hera Syndulla / Major Anri - Numa / Sammo Quid / Suu Lawquane - Pampy & Supi / Gella Twins More: Goggles w/ leather wraps, Leather wrap w/ side gems, Ayy Vida, Oola & Darth Talon w/ ear/side guards + metallic band, Kinash Lock's cap + decorative bands, Tae Boon's helmet… ...to name a few styles. Add variations, i.e Helmets with wraps/without, jewelry… etc. (also: see this awesome thread on the subject: https://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=981103) __________________________________________________ 2)- Head: 12 heads/faces available, sounds like a decent number. But really, we only have 3 options, denoting different ethnicities (1-4, 5-8, 9-12): and they’re basically the same. Suggestion: A wider/better selection of head/faces, i.e Humans, or at the very least, as varied as the Togruta ones. __________________________________________________ 3)- Eyes: Also limited. Suggestion: Wider variety of colors (i.e Hazel, Dark Blue, Dark Green, Blue-Green/Turquoise... etc). Again, I’d use the Togruta as reference (all of course within “canon” colors for Twi’lek). __________________________________________________ 4)- Complexion: Most of the textures are dismal – blotchy/dirty, smudged makeup, overly darkened in places, awful eyebrow shapes… only a few of them are actually usable. Suggestion: Complexion should be more like Human’s, offering a wide range of eyebrow shapes and skin (i.e clear, freckled, slightly freckled, beauty mark…. etc). Dark Side corruption, as well as any makeup, should be transferred onto the Cosmetics category; with only natural skin textures, as well as eyebrow shapes/designs in this slider. __________________________________________________ 5)- Skin Color: Limited. Suggestion: Wider range of colors, at least as varied as Togruta’s. On that note: PURPLE TWI’LEKS – one deep/medium tone, another in a pale violet/magenta (i.e Xi’an and Qin, from The Mandalorian). That should be standard for skin tones: at least 2-3 options for each color, example: the dark blue (1st) and cyan (3rd) available for Rutian Twi’leks; with possibly a third ("medium blue") option somewhere in the middle. Also: If you own the legacy, all unlocks should be available for character creation. Maybe limit a couple that are too faction-specific (for example, the Sith skin pattern). __________________________________________________ 6)- Patterns and Cosmetics: Also very limited and kind of a mess. Some of the makeup choices are downright bad (and currently, if you’re not playing Red, Pink or Orange – Imp side, mostly – chances are your character will look like a clown). And no way to color Lekku patterns. From spots or flecks, stripes, to soft gradients and many other designs, Twi’leks come in a multitude of colors and patterns. Lekku Patterns should have their own separate slider, while makeup goes under Cosmetics. Suggestion: Break this down into two categories: Lekku Patterns and Cosmetics. More patterns, please. Lekku patterns should be tintable, like the Togruta – from white/lighter (ex. Aayla Secura, Eleena Daru) or silvery; to soft-medium color overlays (palette based on the skin tones we’d have available), then brown and finally black (like the ones we already have). Cosmetics: A wider and better selection of makeup options and colors (again, Humans as an example). Only lip, only eyeshadow or blush, lips and eyeshadow, all three combined... and so forth. Colors: (ideally) able to blend in nicely with all the skin tones available, from subtle to more dramatic. __________________________________________________ 7)- Lekku: The option to wear your head-tails however you like, making it possible to go around clipping issues for classes that carry weapons, backpacks and even some armor. Suggestion: The equivalent to the “Hair” slider in most species, they should offer at least 5 variants: Default (as it is now); both Lekku up front, over the shoulders; and one up front while the other hangs free in the back (Left and Right variants); and finally, wrapped around the neck (Bibb Fortuna style). __________________________________________________ Final thoughts: The Twi’lek are one of the most iconic species in the Star Wars universe and have been criminally neglected in SWTOR. Please, implement this, I don’t care in what way or how much it would cost, 1st day purchase from me – and for many others, I’m sure! Edited January 19, 2021 by Isablah
DarkTergon Posted January 6, 2021 Posted January 6, 2021 Supported, would love to see more like this.

Jesseriah Posted January 7, 2021 Posted January 7, 2021 I hope that they actually update the customization options in general, not only for Twilek but for the rest too. Togruta for example need a huge update. Long lekkus for males, better faces for males, more skin colors for males, more tattoo's for males. Male Togruta NPCs look absolutely stunning, but the player version is just a let down.
Criptvampiress Posted January 8, 2021 Posted January 8, 2021 Absolutely! They haven't had anything done to them since launch and they're one of the most popular species in the Star Wars universe. Their options are very limited. They're labeled as being a very colorful race and they've got the least customization options out of all the races. Three faces, eight skin tones, eight headbands, and nine eye colors just don't cut it... And I wish the markings and makeup were separate.

If you play a sith inq. you have Ashara as a companion your Togruta looks nothing like her which just drives me insane. Its like you're a cheap copy. Or a really poor cosplay version.
Isablah Posted January 9, 2021 Author Posted January 9, 2021 You mean this one? https://i.imgur.com/jEz11z8.jpg (from the Trooper cut-scene where you first meet Aric) Hmmm, at a glance…I think so? Really though, I’d hope for all or most customization options be unlocked for both sides, all classes. I mean, can you imagine if they finally added purple Twi’leks, but it is restricted to dark-side only, or Republic only? That’d SUCK!

All skin colours and tattoos available are unlocked once one of your Twi'lek character has reached lvl 50
Isablah Posted January 10, 2021 Author Posted January 10, 2021 Agreed. Would love to make a Togruta that looks like its npc counterpart. If you play a sith inq. you have Ashara as a companion your Togruta looks nothing like her which just drives me insane. Its like you're a cheap copy. Or a really poor cosplay version. True! And it’s often in the detail, just a lil bit of colour on the lips to differentiate from your skin tone; or in Bella Kiwiiks’ case, the hint of an eyebrow (which helps facial expression), true black lashes… and etc, small things that can make all the difference. Even Mirialans (as near-humans), have a good range of Complexion and makeup options. Great eyebrow game. That should be extended to Twi’leks and Togruta. I do believe, however, that separating makeup from Patterns/Tattoos would be optimal. Often times you find a makeup option that you like, but the Pattern is not what you’re looking for. For Twi’leks, I think Headbands and Lekku wraps are a priority, as well as more Heads/Faces, Complexion, makeup and Lekku patterns. Maybe also an upgrade to textures, in general - especially in the latest expansions, your character looks like a low-poly disaster. It’s almost as though Twi’leks were rushed, looks like…
Saregon Posted January 14, 2021 Posted January 14, 2021 +1 More customization all around, but definitely twi'leks and other alien races need some love.
Cocacolemacgrath Posted January 14, 2021 Posted January 14, 2021 I support this, the Twi'lek options in the game right now are very limited, considering how varied their species can be.
Isablah Posted January 26, 2021 Author Posted January 26, 2021 Shameless *bump*, because Twi'leks should be the game's biggest priority right now...
Isablah Posted February 8, 2021 Author Posted February 8, 2021 This needs to happen! I’m surprised by the apparent lack of interest from the community. Both Twi’lek and Togruta deserve a lot better. C’mon, SWTOR! 🙏
Saito_Hiraga Posted February 13, 2021 Posted February 13, 2021 They need a white skin color added. I would def pay for that. Also I would love to drop a suggestion to discount the headband change in the appearance station to 0CC after you purchased a headband for the first time with the character, its completely dumb to consider you have to pay to put a headband on your head. They are not plastic surgery....
Grymmjow Posted February 17, 2021 Posted February 17, 2021 We've been asking for this for years. Our voices are never heard or heard but pushed to the side. Twi'leks need some love.
ninosz Posted March 24, 2021 Posted March 24, 2021 boosting this! new twi'lek customization options are LONG overdue. give us what we want bioware!
DarkTergon Posted March 24, 2021 Posted March 24, 2021 boosting this! new twi'lek customization options are LONG overdue. give us what we want bioware! there's been a few threads on this, it does seem like a good few of us would like to see more.
Eres Posted May 10, 2021 Posted May 10, 2021 Would love if they'd at least add purple and magenta skin tones. Shouldn't be hard
darthscotty Posted May 10, 2021 Posted May 10, 2021 I do not think Biowae wants my money. Why else would they not want to do something that would be a huge seller.
Snowkyn Posted May 14, 2021 Posted May 14, 2021 Adding more support to this post! One of Star Wars most iconic species needs some love! Time for some updates for Twi'leks!
BlueShiftRecall Posted May 15, 2021 Posted May 15, 2021 One of Star Wars most iconic species needs some love! Time for some updates for Twi'leks! +1 for more love for Twi'leks!
Kaiserkain Posted June 21, 2021 Posted June 21, 2021 I just want yellow sith eyes for my twi'lek. I understand that the SWTOR engine is an arcane nightmare where seemingly easy things are somehow impossible but: 1: Twi'leks use the standard human eyes 2: As such there are plenty of human eye colors that would make sense for twi'leks and presumably could be reused 3: If Twi'leks for whatever reason can't use the human eyes then there are still the currently existing Dark Side corruption eyes which they currently use and would satisfy me. Please, I'd pay an unreasonable amount of your bioware funhouse cartel dollars for this.
