Genre Pack: in a way. I think that the setting is well known, so there is not a lot to work out except in species and cultures. Here is the Ithorian species Keyword and the Corellian Keyword. Neither are done, but they are a start.

Ithorian
Ithorians are a mammalian herbivorous sentient species from the planet Ithor. They are commonly called "Hammerheads" by less sensitive beings because of their long, curving neck and T-shaped head. They find this nickname offensive.
Ithorians have two mouths and four throats, allowing them to speak in stereo. Female Ithorians have two humps on the back of their head, while males have only one. They have glossy, usually brown flesh. They stand roughly between 1.8 to 2.3 meters from eyestalk to toe. Their reflexes and coordination are somewhat slower than that of average humanoids.
In addition to allowing them to speak their unique stereophonic language, the Ithorians' four throats also have the ability to expel air violently, resulting in a deafening and potentially concussive scream. Although even common Ithorians possess this strange talent, those with Force training can push enough power into their sonic bellow to shatter iron and shred plasteel. Despite this fact, most Ithorians go their entire lives without ever resorting to violence, and so the ability remains relatively ambiguous.
Society and culture
Ithorians worship the "Mother Jungle," a spiritual entity embodying the
lush, tropical ecology of their world, Ithor. They are generally devoted
environmentalists, staunch herbivores, and complete pacifists, devoting
much time to contemplating their ecology, studying plants and their uses
and the overall respecting of all living things. Most Ithorians never
set foot on their own planet, instead living in floating cities above
their world called herdships. Only three of their continents have been
explored and harvested, the other two never having been touched by
Ithorian hands. This demonstrates their extreme belief in the protection
and sustainment of their environment, which is apparent through their
"Law of Life."
The Ithorians practice a communal form of government. Each herdship is autonomous and self-supporting. However once every Ithorian season (about five standard years), the herds gather for "the Meet," a grand gathering above the surface of their world, where the herd ships join each other in a festival and regal ceremony.
Ithorian's curious and gregarious nature means that many find their way off-planet via their floating herdship's space-worthy counterparts. Many become galactic traders, traveling the stars either independently or as part of their herdship. They only resort to violence if threatened, and they are more likely to use their sonic bellow than a weapon. Because of their mild demeanor, most Ithorians avoid war in general, although the Republic Armed Forces does boast a few among its ranks. Their pacifistic nature means they refused to touch things that came as a result of bloodshed.
When dealing with others, Ithorians are always supremely polite. They are very conversational and have profound respect for the views of others. Though often described as likable and friendly, many sentients find them altogether dull. Even when they have disagreements, Ithorians are unlikely to discuss their grievances with anyone unless the offending party is present. To do otherwise is considered rude.
Despite their reputation, not all Ithorians are so peaceful. Rarely, violent and unruly Ithorians are born and subsequently banished from their homeworld or herdship. Such Ithorians often became drifters and bounty hunters.
Within Ithorian society, there is a priestly group known as Nature Priests who commune with the "Mother Jungle" and have a deeper connection to the Ithorian homeworld. Within the trading guilds themselves, Merchantates are present who dealt with business matters.
Ithorians are commonly named after creatures on their planet, such as the Flen and Gillom. Many females are named after the Cellwan, Haali, Ivuur, Oovei, Vonnuvi, and Wimmel; many males were named after the Boolon, Murr, Neelig, and Waawat.

--- Corellian Corellians are often considered courageous and individualist by other Core peoples, spawning expressions warning against telling a Corellian the odds for success; for a Corellian, beating the odds is always a reward in itself. This sense of individuality is visible in the common Corellian tradition of cremating the dead and compressing their ash into synthetic diamonds with artificial gravity generators. Corellians also deal justice to those that committed the most heinous acts with a death penalty. Corellians are a sentimental breed, and when separated from their homeworld became sentimental at the sight of Corellian treats like the sweet ryshcate pastry or a bottle of the woody, potable Whyren's Reserve. There is a Corellian sect known as the Ensterites, who forbade marriage with anyone from outside the Corellian system. Marrying someone from outside the Corellian system results in being shunned by one's fellow Ensterites. It is a Corellian custom for husbands-to-be to have large bachelor parties with their friends. Family is held in high respect on Corellia. It is considered most dishonorable to involve innocent family members in a quarrel held with one family member. Conversely, great courage is seen as highly honorable, deserving of outward recognition through traditions such as the Corellian Bloodstripe. The color green also holds special meaning, as it is considered the traditional coloration for wedding gowns, Jedi robes, and CorSec (Corellian Security Force) markings. Corellia is originally a monarchy until 312 BBY, ruled by a democratic government after Berethron e Solo established constitutional rule then.
