Acrobat

Legends Canon version → Linked from 22 articles

Legends. This article is part of Legends: the expanded-universe stories that Lucasfilm set apart from canon in 2014.

An acrobat, tumbler, or gymnast was a type of performer who entertained audiences through feats of gymnastics skill and agility. Due to their natural dexterity, members of the Gados species made excellent acrobats. For instance, the Leaping Tee family toured the galaxy as a acrobat troupe. Due to their natural communal intelligence and ability to work together flawlessly, groups of Bilars made excellent acrobats as well. During the reign of the Galactic Empire, there was a male Lethan Twi'lek named Malisan who performed as an acrobat. Certain droids, known as acrobat droids, also entertained through acrobatics.
