rust bucket

An ancient car or ship, covered in rust. May also be an affectionate term for a merely old ship.

Look at that rustbucket! I'm surprised the thing holds together.

Twi'lek

Humanoid aliens with two lekku ("brain tails") emerging from the back of their head. Consequently they have no hair, and some say no hair anywhere - as Ryloth is something of a hot world. They come in a variety of colours including pasty white and several shades of green, blue and red (dying out). Twi'leks have a strong but little-known warrior culture.

Aalya Secura is a Twi'lek Jedi, the only Star Wars character to appear in the Expanded Universe before the movies.

slicer

Slicer first appeared as a synonym for hacker in Timothy Zahn's Star Wars novel Heir to the Empire. It's a Star Wars word.

Ghent (as seen above), incidentally, appears in HTTE.

tie

TIE - standing for Twin Ion Engine, a generic name for the Imperial line of starfighters with two ion engines and two or three shaped solar panels.

TIE fighters are nippy little things, but even a brush with a quad laser and... BOOM!
