twi’lek literally just means “two lekku.” no way they named themselves that when many of them don’t even have 2. i wonder what they called themselves before. i doubt it was rylothian, that would be like humans calling ourselves earthian (or terran ig)
OR it would be like togruta being called tri’leks or shilians. twi’leks probably had a name like togruta do before they faced an entire galactic history worth of violence, right?
