"i get THAT silly!
I mean what are they? What does "seelie" mean???"
The Seelie Court can be considered the "good" fairies, and the Unseelie Court the "bad" fairies. The word Seelie is actually translated to mean something close to silly. (Ironic that you called Me that, Kita..) The Seelie Court fairies were thought to be good as they did not usually interfere in a negative way with the local humans (our ancestors in Scotland/England/Ireland and elsewhere). These were the fairies who liked to help the Earth and its plants and trees grow and remain strong. They also enjoyed dancing and partying in their own fairy way.

The Unseelie Court were considered the trouble-making and sometimes downright vicious fairies. These were the types of fairies who would lead an unsuspecting and curious human to a cliff and to their deaths in legend. These are the types of fairies who would steal a human child and replace it with one of their own...a changeling. They are embittered towards humans and want nothing more than to be left alone or to rid the Earth of humans who do not appreciate it.
"Seelie" has also been translated to mean "Blessed" and "Un-Seelie" Un-blessed. (no suprise.)
In some legends the un-seelie court was said to fly in a swarm at night and grab up some poor soul walking on lonely roads. They would beat the daylights outta the person and then make them participate in their "evil deeds".
Does that help?

Oh, btw, The Seelie and Un-Seelie courts are most prominent in Scotland, Ireland & some parts of England.
But there have been reports of similar things nearly all over the world.

Crow, You don't know what Star Wars is? (((O.o)))

And a Twi'lek is an alien race in the Star Wars series. The 1st one was featured in Return of the Jedi. Her name was Oola. (played by actress/dancer Femi Taylor) Alas she meets her demise, in the jaws of a creature called the Rankor, in Jabba the Hutt's palace.
Lyn Me was another Twi'lek featured in Return of the Jedi. But she was added later (about 2004, I think) In the "Special edition" releases of the 3 original films. She was played by actress/dancer Dalyn Chew.

(See? Told ya I knew my Star Wars, Tolon!) =D

Crow, These are Twi'leks. (Both the actresses I mentioned): http://scans.startiger.com/showscan.php?scanid=62067
