Wookiees
For those who’ve found themselves thinking, “I love dogs, but I wish they could be slightly more like people,” I would like to introduce you to Wookiees. As the first three Star Wars movies have demonstrated, Wookiees are as loyal, trustworthy and hairy as any canine, but with the added benefit of being able to repair robots and fly starships. Okay, they may have poor tempers if they lose boardgames, but consider this: Can your dog even play chess? I think I’ve made my point.
Celestials
Far be it from me to suggest that aliens could solve disagreements over theology, but if the arrival of a real-life equivalent to Jack Kirby’s giant aliens that claim to be behind the creation of the human race as part of a cosmic science experiment can’t bring all religious leaders together – if only to denounce the aliens and call for their immediate destruction – then I don’t know what can.

Whatever Gonzo Is
Firstly, Muppet purists, I know that Gonzo may not be an alien anymore, despite the revelation of his background in Muppets In Space. But I don’t think anyone can deny the simple truth of the matter that the possibility of a chicken-loving, death-defying extra-terrestrial lifeform so wholely dedicated to entertainment is reason enough to keep NASA’s space program funding for the rest of human existence.
