Varactyls, natives of Utapau are described as &#8220;reptavian&#8221;, indicating that they share traits with reptiles and birds. Given that we now know that birds are the closest living relatives to dinosaurs, and that many dinosaurs are thought to have feathers, the term \u201creptavian\u201d seems to me to imply a distinction without difference.
