Pong

I've been thinking about this for awhile and after working out the details I've decided to bring my idea forth for scrutiny and criticism and hopefully approval.
I want to introduce this character into the SW universe as a species that is modified from the Pandaren race from the Warcraft universe, more information about them can be found here: http://www.wowwiki.com/Pandaren.
First off, the race won't be called Pandaren for the simple fact that those are the pictures I plan on using and I don't want to violate any rules or copyrights. I'm not sure what to call them yet, but I'll think of a name before I start RP'ing with him if this idea is accepted.
Secondly, their culture revolves will still revolve around drinking and what they would consider shamanistic abilities. In reality though, those abilities would be nothing more than a natural affinity to the Force that they have adapted to use to heal. For the most part they are a generally peaceful and loving race. They would rather sit down and drink and talk than fight, though like any race there are the few exemptions to the rule.
They live on a backwater planet that is on the same level, technologically speaking, with the rest of the galaxy, but they choose not to wander to far from home.
My plan for introducing them to the SW universe is to have some smugglers/poachers land on on their planet, hoping to find a new backwater planet to use as a base of operations and end up capturing Pong because they have never seen his race and think he is just a wild animal that they could sell for credits. Due to their speech being similar to the Wookies and Ewoks, no one will understand him at first and think he is only roaring or grunting.
Since I'm hoping for him to be a Jedi ultimately, I was thinking that a Jedi would be near during a public showing of Pong and sense what was going on beneath the surface and try to help him.
If anyone has any questions please post them and I'll do my best to answer them.
