Bet you didn't think that the Swamp Thing could alter his looks.  But since he's basically a plant, in some senses all plants, it's merely a matter of growth.  Even so, he's been the same for a long time, and it's a bit weird even to him that he looks so different.

But since everything else seems to be changing, why not change himself as well?

There's a young man out in the garden, weeding carefully around a freshly cut garden bed, two cats chasing crickets nearby.

The young man looks up, unsurprised by Swamp Thing looks. "Hello."

Bodhi chuckles softly. "The soil here is so fertile, I didn't expect them to grow in so fast."

"It's beautiful here. It really is. The moon I grew up on, the soil was so thin and poor. And it only rained twice in my childhood."

"Jedha is- was a place of pilgrimage. Because of the Kyber Temple and the Guardians of the Whills. My grandmother was a pilgrim, before the Clone Wars. She was young, from minor core royalty. She fell in love with Jedha, and street preacher who got her pregnant. Her family came for her, forcing her to leave her child behind."

He nods, a little bitterly. "Yeah. My mother was raised by the street preacher. And stayed with the Follower of the Way."

"But my grandmother kept trying. She left her world, worked as a mechanic during the war to get back to Jedha. But by the time she did, my mother didn't want anything to do with her. And she had children of her own she didn't care much about."

"There are Guardians from my world here who can explain better than I could." Bodhi shrugs. "I never really understood or liked it."

"The Way my mother's people practised was pretty fringe. And it wasn't exactly kind to the kids it produced. The tenant that children should be raised by the followers as a whole meant no-one took responsibility for any of us. We had to fend for ourselves."

He nods, toying with the ring at his finger. "The Force. That's what they call it in my galaxy. An energy field that binds all life. The kyber crystals are attune to it, can channel it. That's what the temple was build of. What people pilgrimage to see."

There's a tiny shard of crystal in his ring, warm with the living force that Bodhi himself can't sense.

"But you're connected to it? Some people in my world are. Sensitive to it, I mean. I'm not but my husband is. At least a little, I think. Or he just has faith."

Bodhi cocks his head. "You were human? Sorry, I just assumed you were-" He gestures to Swamp Thing's current form. "I'm use to a lot more non-humans than this place has."

He nods, respecting that Alec might not want to talk about it. "Humans can be xenophobic like that."

"I was- I worked for the Empire for a while. The systematic xenophobia was... hard to ignore." How many times did he fight back the urge to say something when he saw it. But he had to, to keep his head down.

"Cassian's here?" Bodhi suddenly looks bright and alert. "I didn't know."

"Is he-" Bodhi cuts himself off, unsure how best to ask. "Is he still working?"
