My old "Star Wars" fan-character: Kasha Torm, the Triannii slave-turned-pirate-turned-space debris-turned-holovid porn star-tuned-professional swoop racer-turned-smuggler-turned-fugative-turned-ship captain-turned-rogue padawan...oy. Well, it made perfect sense while I was playing her in the old D6 Star Wars RPG...
Of course, when you have a SW fan-character, it's an unwritten rule that, should they develop Jedi abilities, they also gain some completely non-Jedi-approved, needlessly convoluted, and TOTALLY gratuitous derivative of a lightsaber. In her case, it's her "saberwhip," inspired by a villain in "Batman Beyond": the lightsaber blade is actually connected between the two handles via crystal fragments suspended in a repulsorfield, and she wields it by using her fighting skills and her telekinesis in tandem to actually "bend" the blade by repositioning the crystals which in turn riccochet the blade from on hande to the other.
...funny thing is that she never got to make this thing; the actual game folded as she was designing it, but she still had a pair of swords designed to parry lightsabers, along with an amulet that allows her to resist Force powers as well as mask her own, courtesy of the GM. Nowadays, I realize those are about 100-times cooler than the saberwhip could ever hope to be...
And, before you ask, she does have four boobs; I even made a joke about it when she caught my other character, a drunken Corellian Jedi, was accidentally caught spying on her sparring naked in their base ("The going rate is 5000 credits per mammae, human...that was my price in the holovids."). Basically, there's never been any canon pic of the Trianii race that doesn't contradict all others before it (at least not back when I was playing), so we interpretted them as best as we could: four mammae, three digits on hands and feet, hair-like headfur (she kept dying hers different colors...it was neon pink for most of the game), and partially digitigrade feet.
Her tiger-like stripes are actually scars from when she and her allies (the other player characters) were captured and being tortured by a Trandoshan crimelord for innocently delivering the head of her son to her courtesy of her rival, Jabba the Hutt. It worked out, though, because her swoop-racing nickname was "Lady Tiger"; she also made that the name of the ship she stole from the crimelord when they escaped and killed her.
Sorry, I just had SO much fun playing her and her partner, the larcenous slacker R2 astromech droid RU12 (aka. Rudy) that I get nostalgic.

Awesome.. simply awesome. O.O
That 'saberwhip' weapon actually IS a weapon in the SW universe; I stumbled across it recently, in regards to some extended-universe character. I forget if it was like, a saber on a whip, or if it was a whip-like energy lash or something. Still damned cool to think about.
A slacker R2 unit? XD will wonders never cease...

Yeah, it was Dark Lady Lumiya's laser-lash from the old Marvel comic...very cool villain, BTW, as well as the first time you see Luke weilding two 'sabers, samurai-style, in combat.
Actually, Rudy appears in "The Phantom Menace"; he was the R2 unit that was behind Artoo that got shot off the wing during the escape from Naboo. He was actually trying to push Artoo into the blast because he was sick of the little overachiever making him look bad. Best part about Rudy was that I actually successfully forced the GM to allow that he could successfully pickpocket drunk aliens with his manipulator claw since no one would suspect R2 units of being thieves...LOL
