Perhaps the most fascinatingly mysterious Star Wars extra of all time appears in the very same scene as Lucas.

Mere seconds earlier, a beautiful female Twi'lek can be seen walking the steps of the opera house, wearing a low-cut dress which immediately brought her to the attention of many fans.

A reference book released in 2005 referred to her as "Koyi Mateil," and she has since been a popular cosplay character due to her unique look, despite no further information ever being released about who she is.

In spite of all the online curiosity about the actress who played Koyi, she played the part uncredited, and even with reference books providing a clearer glimpse of the actress, she remains unidentified to this very day, as perhaps makes her only more alluring to fans.
