The Gamorrean Historian.If there exists on the web, a site that seeks to gather into one place a comprehensive study containing all information regarding the Gamorrean race of the Star Wars universe, I haven't found it.
This too, is not that place.
Online references for Gamorreans are few and their content sparse:
Wikipedia
Wookieepedia
and this pathetic paragraph from the Star Wars databank
As well as the completely non-cannon bits of fan fiction found at:
Plotpedia and this Voort origin story (for which your humble author, is personally responsible)
Image-wise aside from a few pictures of small statues, and action figures, Gamorrean helpful references are almost impossible to come across. A small gallery of images snagged from around the net can be found here. These include behind the scenes images, and stills from Return of the Jedi and a collection of fan made Gamorrean suits. The Disney Star Wars weekends feature a Gamorrean guard or two, and there may be some shots of those suits included as well.
The purpose of this blog is to document the creation of a fan made Gamorrean costume, but not just some random Jabba palace guard. Sure having a ‘guard’ costume such as the one seen above would be neat and they certainly seem to be not just rare, but obscure fan favorites. Still, the focus of this ongoing web-essay will be on creating a accurate representation of the character Voort saBinring from the X-wing novel ‘Wraith Squadron’.
