Since the host magazine is one I found reputable (I'll leave it unnamed, but it tied in with the dice and paper rpg), and they let the name go through to publication, and it's the ONLY mention, non canon or otherwise I've found, then by default, I also use the name "Peleine" in RP situations to refer to Yoda and Yaddles race.
There was great hulabaloo about the time AotC was coming out that Yoda was one of the "Whills." It's not any more valid than your claim (because we know Lucas wouldn't let his race be known ever,) but it is another claim.

I hope they put it to a vote.

I bought the Cathar just because I wanted to support the idea of new species not because I wanted a Cathar character. If the next choice proves to be as disappointing I can't see a point in continuing to support it.

If Jawa goes through as playable, I'll roll one, choose body type 4 (fat boy model) and call him Jawa the Hutt.

And now we have two. It is understood that both claims are invalid. Perhaps I will combine the two, and make one name, Peleine, the race, and the other, Whills, the organization. Much the same as when Lucas chose the Duros to become the Neimodians, it became understood that Duros was the race, Neimodian was the planetary origin, while in turn, in real life, we are Human, and Terran.
Before any continuity nerd blasts me for the Peleine being non-canon, I remind you that as stated before, all of this is what I do in my RP situations. If it takes off into accepted canon, then it won't be by my doing, but by others taking it further, to which I will give no further contribution.

I would love to see Zeltrons.

In lore they are very beautiful and have lots of stuff to do with romance.

Who are these 3 species? Inquiring minds what to know. One of the main reasons we got the Cathar is because they were deemed a popular community choice in early polling. The Cathar were also put into the CM and we were told future species would depend upon their performance....therefore, leaving the species feature up to us to endorse or not endorse it with our Cartel Coins. As a result, the next species should be a highly community-driven choice. Will there be an official poll to determine which of the 3 will be picked?
I want it to be wookies, bothans, mon cals, nautolans or rodians, but it'll never happen because the devs are too lazy to do anything but humans with weird skin colors.

Great idea.

Personally, I would love for Voss to be a playable race. At this point in the game, they've joined a faction (depending on which side you play) and fit all the criteria that the devs have stated allow for player characters. (speak basic, generally human shaped and sized, capable of using the Force, ect.)

Having Voss become a player race would really feel like the galactic storyline was actually progressing somewhat, in my opinon.
