电影



Often quiet and enigmatic, Weequays can be found throughout the galaxy, from the lower levels of Coruscant to the distant desert flats of Tatooine. They are a humanoid species with coarse, leathery skin and bald heads. By tradition, a Weequay wears a braided topknot on one side of his or her head.
从科洛桑下层到遥远的塔图因沙漠平地，银河系各处都有威奎人的踪迹。他们通常安静而神秘。这个人形种族有粗硬的皮肤，头顶没有头发。根据传统，威奎人会在脑袋一侧戴一条辫状头饰。

衍生宇宙



Hailing from the arid world of Sriluur on the remote Sisar Run, Weequays are a laconic people deeply rooted in ancient traditions. Much of their culture is structured around the reverence of a pantheon of gods, one of the foremost being Quay, the God of the Moon. The Weequays keep a wide array of trinkets and totems to facilitate communication with their gods. Swindling off-worlder entrepreneurs have taken advantage of this cultural trait, and infested Sriluur with countless useless baubles said to divine the intentions of the dieties.
威奎人来自干燥的斯里卢尔星球——这颗星球位于遥远的西萨航线上。威奎人是一个沉默寡言的民族，深深扎根于古代传统。他们的大部分文化是围绕对众神们的崇拜而形成的，其中最主要的神之一是月神奎。威奎人戴有各种小首饰和图腾，以便于与神沟通。一些外星球奸商利用这一文化特点，在斯里卢尔大量贩卖华而不实的装饰品，声称这些物品能占卜神意。

Weequay society is clan based, and a Weequay's identity defers to a clan. Often, individuality is so secondary that Weequays do not take proper names, unless leaving Sriluur or dealing with off-worlders. Weequays do not need names to identify one another, as their pheromonic methods of communication can convey a great deal of information without words.
威奎人的社会是基于氏族的，每个威奎人个体都遵从氏族。由于个性是次要的，因此，除非离开斯里卢尔或与外乡人打交道，否则威奎人常常没有真正的名字。威奎人不需要名字来区别彼此，他们的信息素交流方式能传递大量信息，用不着词语。

Though some may view their ways as quaint and primitive, Weequays have built large cities on Sriluur, such as Dnalvec. These cities enjoy much trade from the busy Sisar Run. Most Weequay cities are built around a thal, a religious shrine to which devoted followers leave offerings of foods or valuables.
虽然有些人认为他们的行为既古怪又原始，但威奎人在斯里卢尔也建造了大城市，比如德纳尔韦克。繁忙的西萨航线使这些城市因贸易而受益。大多数威奎人的城市围绕一个“塔尔”建造。塔尔是宗教圣祠上，虔诚的信徒会在那里留下食物或贵重物品，作为供品。

Weequay expatriates, prohibited against building thals by strict religious code, instead make offerings through animal sacrifices. The Weequay enforcers employed by Jabba the Hutt were responsible for a bizarre series of bantha mutilations. Because of the increasing anger of the Sand People, Jabba was forced to stop the Weequays from carrying out this grisly practice. Ever cautious, Jabba's henchmen killed a moisture farmer, and placed his corpse near the dead banthas, making it appear that humans were responsible.
由于严格的宗教信条禁止威奎人侨民建造塔尔，因此他们以动物为祭品。赫特人贾巴雇佣的威奎人打手就曾制造一系列古怪的班萨碎尸案。鉴于沙民的怒火不断增长，贾巴被迫阻止手下的威奎人举行这种可怕的宗教活动。于是，贾巴的这些手下小心翼翼地杀死一名湿气农场主，把他的尸体放在死去的班萨旁，制造人类要为此负责的假象。

The close proximity of Sriluur to Hutt Space means that many Weequays are employed or enslaved by Hutt crime lords as bodyguards or enforcers. Such underworld careers have led to Weequays being found throughout the galaxy. Weequay expatriates are easily identified by their topknots. Custom dictates that a Weequay grows a braid for each Sriluurian year off planet. Upon returning to Sriluur, a Weequay shaves of the braids.
由于斯里卢尔靠近赫特空间，因此许多威奎人被赫特人黑帮大佬雇佣或奴役，充当保镖或打手。这种黑道职业导致威奎人出现在银河各地。根据头饰可以很容易辨认出谁是威奎人侨民。习俗规定离开母星的威奎人每过一个斯里卢尔年就要多系一条辫饰。回到斯里卢尔后，威奎人才把这些辫饰剪去。

幕后



The Weequays designed for Return of the Jedi were named after Queequeg, a character from Herman Melville's classic, Moby Dick. The Weequay design was resurrected for Episode I, with a number of new Weequays visible in the Mos Espa Grand Arena. Episode II also features Weequays both on Tatooine, and in the lower levels of Coruscant.
为《绝地归来》设计的威奎人是以“季奎格”命名的。季奎格是赫尔曼·梅尔维尔的名著《白鲸》中的一个角色。为摄制《第一部》，威奎人的设计被再次使用，在莫斯埃斯帕大竞技场可以看到许多新的威奎人。在《第二部》里，塔图因和科洛桑下层也有威奎人。
