The title is only slightly relevant.

Anyways, I thought I would bring this here since google has not satisfied me. Wroonians and pantorans are both blue skinned near humans with gold eyes. The only real biological differences I've found were hair and lip color, but neither have been utilized widely enough to set anything in stone.

Also, the wroonians have a lightly described culture that can easily be built on, but the Pantorans do not. Even further, it seems pantoran first appears in the clone wars series where a pantoran senator represents wroona. To me this indicates the terms may be interchangeable or one is not canon.

So, now I pose the question to the reader. Are they the same but someone managed to screw up? Wroonians have been in the expanded universe for some time now, so are they more canon than pantoran?

I'd say that Wroonians are more traditionally canon, and that they may be related to Pantorans, however since they predate Pantorans it would make more sense to assume the Pantorans evolved from Wroonians.

I was reading something somewhere that said they may be the same race and pantoran is just a retconn. Not sure that that means, but yeah.
