Overview

The official Star Wars databank describes Pau'ans as tall humanoids of the planet Utapau. Their skin is ridged, and their teeth and nails are jagged.

Pau'ans shared Utapau with the Utai and with groups of Amani and Sugi. In the databank account, Pau'ans managed the planetary government and handled dealings with visitors from offworld. This political role comes from that specific source and should not be generalized further. The reference does not state any biological relationship between Pau'ans and Utai.

The Grand Inquisitor is a named Pau'an, as his official databank entry confirms. The species is linked in franchise media to Revenge of the Sith, Star Wars Rebels and The Clone Wars. The consulted material does not address diet, lifespan, ancestry or any real-world design inspiration.
