Not the first live action version. There was one in Star Wars in 1977. Unfortunately, the Special Edition removed this Rick Baker alien.

Guy on the left is Lak Sivrak, a Shistavanen. Guy on the right is Arleil Schous, a Defel. The latter was allegedly based on a bat as opposed to a wolf, and these guys had different outfits and different masks.

It was only the Defel that had glowing red eyes. This creature in Skeleton Crew looks a lot more like a Shistavanen wolfman in the face, but has the Defel's pronounced ears and jowl hair. Since non-movie sources also claim Shistavanens have glowy eyes (which wasn't the case in ANH) my guess is the producers here have unintentionally made a hybrid of the two.

Although both these guys got replaced in the Cantina sequence, Arleil Schous can still be seen in the background.

It just sucks that the live action has regular human feet and not the digigrade of the original character design from the animated Clone Wars series. It’s nice to see actual non-human characters but can’t they be less human looking?

Easier on the actor I'd guess.
