Since when did Twileks have fangs?

I was gonna ask that too! Last time I checked, Twi'leks didn't have vampire-like fangs. They had teeth similar to humans. Seriously! If they had fangs, someone would have mentioned it long before now!

These were things I knew about Twi'leks before this episode:

1 - They come from the planet Ryloth; a tidally-locked planet that has a permanent day and a permanent night side, and all the inhabitants live on the literal "twilight band" between the two sides.
2 - Ryloth has been conquered by several factions in succession, one after the other, and there has never been a time when Twi'leks actually owned their homeworld independently. This is why many Twi'leks have been forced into slavery for thousands of years.
3 - Twi'leks have a huge variety of skintones, the rarest being a deep red. Such individuals born with that skintone are considered special. Most Twi'leks have skin colors such as blue, purple, and yellow-green. Eye color varies just as widely, and often not matching their skintone. The two worm-like limbs hanging from their heads are called "Lekku," which house extra sensory organs.
4 - Twi'leks have not always been slaves. Some live free and have control over their own lives. The free Twi'leks have been seen doing every job from politics to military, to colonizing planets, depending on the faction they answer to. There have even been Twi'leks who were force-sensitive and were part of the Jedi order. Sadly, Twi'leks have also been seen working for bad guys, working as criminals, spies, and even bounty-hunting.

Nowhere in any of that, have they said that Twi'leks have vampire fangs!

I really dislike the portrayal of Twileks on this show. They just felt "off" like they were cosplayers instead of the real deal.

It's the little details like the fangs that throw it off. Plus, their headtails looked shorter and seemed like they didn't have enough weight.

The biggest offender was the way Qin looked so feminine. I wasn't sure what it was that made him look that way until I realized the big issue: ears. Previously, all male Twileks have been portrayed as having normal human ears while females do not. However, in this show, they made a male Twilek also have no ears. That subtle difference bothered me the whole time and I didn't even realize exactly what it was until later.

It doesn't ruin the show as a whole, but you'd think the dorks making this wouldn't make these kind of mistakes. If these changes are intentional, I'm dying to know why.

You forgot that Disney tossed out the EU. Twileks are whatever Disney says they are therefore they have fangs.

I just assume she did that herself - had augmentations or something to look more intimidating. There was a character in the Hunger Games who had all her teeth filed into points because she was famous for biting necks. Same idea.

Uhm, since the character of Jabba the Hutt's majordomo Bib Fortuna in a little movie called Return of the Jedi. Is this some kind of trick question, or what?

Also why does she act like a a pg version of a true blood vampire?

You’re about to enter another dimension. A dimension of fangs, a dimension of slaves, a dimension of wearing pants on your head. You’ve just entered... The Twi’lek Zone. Doo-doo, doo-doo, doo-doo, doo-doo, doo-doo, doo-doooooooo.
