Rodians

Rodians

Rodians were green, repulsive bug-faced people who had a reputation for being really badass, but actually tended to lose fights, often resulting in their deaths. A Rodian would usually be killed roughly 3 minutes after he first appeared. The most famous example of this was in the first Star Wars movie when this Rodian named Greedo fails to shoot Han Solo from, like, two feet away and gets blasted. The Rodian homeworld was conquered by the Empire, the Mandalorians, the Ssi-Ruuk, the Yuuzhan Vong, some other nasty species with an unpronouncable name, General Grievous (twice), the Chiss, Rodian offworld colonists, the Gungans, and a bunch of rabid Ewoks.
