Yoxgit / Legends Yoxgit was an male Ugnaught whose homeworld was the gas giant Bespin . A security systems technician with a mining company A ' roFilter on Cloud City — a mining colony that floated in the atmosphere of Bespin — he was discontent with the amount of money he made at his job . Eventually , Yoxgit began secretly supplying Tibanna gas to Hermi Odle , a Baragwin weapons designer working for a Hutt crime lord named Jabba Desilijic Tiure . Due to his criminal activities , Yoxgit was able to afford fashionable clothing , a chrome - plated cloud car , and an upper city apartment . By the time of the Galactic Empire ' s takeover of Cloud City in 3 ABY , Yoxgit led a gang of Ugnaughts and was a contact of the Rebel Alliance . During the Imperial occupation , Yoxgit aided in freezing the Human smuggler and Alliance captain Han Solo in carbonite under the orders of the Sith Lord Darth Vader , who commanded the occupying Imperial forces . Shortly thereafter , Yoxgit was forced to reveal the details surrounding the capture of Captain Solo after he and his gang unsuccessfully attempted to kill a group of Rebels who came to him for information on the Imperial occupation . Following these events , he realized that he would no longer be able to enjoy his new lifestyle , and he chose to leave Bespin for the planet Tatooine , Jabba ' s seat of power . Once on Tatooine , Odle assigned him to maintain Jabba ' s security systems and observe the movements of the Baragwin ' s Skrilling nemesis , Pote Snitkin , as well as Snitkin ' s Yuzzum minion , Wam Lufba . Due to his proficiency with his work , the Ugnaught found his way into Jabba ' s favor , and was invited to witness the execution of three prisoners at the Great Pit of Carkoon from the sail barge " Khetanna " . Unfortunately for Jabba and Yoxgit , the prisoners escaped and turned the tables on the crime lord ' s guards , while Jabba was slain by Leia Organa , a friend of the prisoners . In the hopes of keeping his life of ease , Yoxgit prepared to kill Organa to curry favor with Jabba ' s successor , but he was killed when one of the prisoners , Jedi Luke Skywalker , destroyed the " Khetanna " with the vehicle ' s deck cannon . Biography . Early career . Calling Bespin home , Yoxgit was employed on Cloud City as a security systems technician with the mining company A ' roFilter . He chose not to fraternize with his fellow Ugnaughts , and detested his honest endeavors , and so Yoxgit opted to make a few credits in an under - the - table scheme . He bartered illegal weaponry for Jabba the Hutt and also covertly sold Tibanna gas packs to Hermi Odle , a Baragwin weapons designer in the employ of the Hutt crime lord . Odle , in turn , utilized the gas in blaster packs . With his supplementary profits from the deals with Odle , Yoxgit purchased an upper level apartment , far from his fellow working class Ugnaughts , a chrome - plated cloud car , and new , more fashionable clothes than his standard fatigues . In 3 ABY , the Galactic Empire seized control of Cloud City from Baron Administrator Lando Calrissian . Yoxgit was paid a large sum of credits by the Rebel Alliance to gather information on Imperial activity on the mining colony . He arranged to meet Alliance representatives in a Cloud City cantina to provide the requested data . Yoxgit instead tried to double - cross the agent , but he and his Ugnaught thugs were unable to capture the Rebels . At the point of a blaster , Yoxgit stated that the Empire was already occupying Cloud City after making a deal with Calrissian . He also revealed that Han Solo had been frozen in carbonite and was being turned over to the bounty hunter Boba Fett . The Rebels then departed to try and rescue Solo . Predicting that he would not be able to maintain his current lifestyle under Imperial rule , Yoxgit bought a ticket for an outbound shuttle , which took him to Tatooine , Jabba ' s center of operations , to call in his favors with Odle . The Baragwin hired the Ugnaught to tend to the security system he had devised for Jabba ' s Palace . Yoxgit was also to keep an eye on Odle ' s rival , gunrunner Pote Snitkin , and his henchman , Wam Lufba . In addition to those roles , Yoxgit would supply Odle with various weaponry . Death at the Great Pit of Carkoon . The following year , Jedi Luke Skywalker , Princess Leia Organa , and the Wookiee Chewbacca came to Jabba ' s Palace to rescue Captain Han Solo , a captive of the crime lord and a friend of theirs . They failed , and were in turn placed in Jabba ' s custody . While the Hutt chose to have Organa as a slave girl , he sentenced Skywalker , Chewbacca , and Solo to death at the Great Pit of Carkoon . Jabba was so pleased with Yoxgit ' s work on the security system that he invited the Ugnaught to accompany the rest of his court to the execution , aboard the sail barge " Khetanna " . Yoxgit accepted , believing that he was close to becoming one of Jabba ' s most favored employees . The Ugnaught drank with the rest of the court , and wagered on the order of the executions . However , when Skywalker was moved into position to be executed , the Jedi turned the tables on Jabba ' s guards , producing a lightsaber and assaulting the various executioners . His allies , including Calrissian , who had been disguised as a guard , began attacking Jabba ' s men , leading to widespread chaos above the Great Pit of Carkoon . Yoxgit , fearing for his own safety , hid behind the bar , and watched as Organa strangled Jabba to death with the chain the Hutt had used to control her . As Organa fled the scene , he realized that his hopes of an easy life in the criminal underworld were slipping away . He then picked up a blaster , hoping to kill Organa and cement his favor with whomever succeeded Jabba ; but at that moment , Skywalker fired the " Khetanna " deck cannon at the sail barge itself , killing Yoxgit in the blast . Personality and traits . While living at Cloud City , Yoxgit had nothing but disdain for both his working - class lifestyle and his fellow Ugnaughts , prompting him to turn to criminal activities to escape both . He considered himself to be an upper - class citizen of the floating city . He was perceptive enough to realize that the Empire would change the state of living on Cloud City , and decided to depart as they descended on the floating settlement . Refusing to leave his favors uncalled , Yoxgit used his earlier ties with Hermi Odle to secure new jobs for himself in Jabba the Hutt ' s criminal organization — jobs in which he acquitted himself well enough to earn Jabba ' s favor within a year . Thinking ahead , Yoxgit , in his final moments , believed that the killer of Jabba ' s murderer would be looked on favorably in the wake of the Carkoon incident , but he was unable to see that through to fruition . During his year at Jabba ' s palace , he had longed to return to Bespin . Equipment . During his time on Cloud City , Yoxgit owned a modified luxury cloud car with chrome plating that was regarded by many individuals as garish in appearance . While he still wore clothes similar to working - class Ugnaughts on occasion , he generally wore more fashionable clothing . His more fashionable clothing consisted of a red jumpsuit , black boots , a silver - colored belt with a black fastener , and black gloves . His work attire consisted of gray robe - like garment , a dark blue apron with pockets for carrying tools , and black footwear . Behind the scenes . Yoxgit was first named in " Jabba ' s Palace Limited " , a 1998 set of cards for the " Star Wars " Customizable Card Game . His card identified him as a previously unnamed Ugnaught who appeared inside Jabba the Hutt ' s palace and sail barge in Richard Marquand ' s 1983 film , which was written by George Lucas and Lawrence Kasdan . However , the mask used by the actor portraying the character had already been used in the 1980 film , which was directed by Irvin Kershner and written by Lucas , Kasdan , and Leigh Brackett . He was portrayed by Hazel Allen in the film . In 2004 , an image of Yoxgit was used in part one of " " , a series of articles written by Cory Herndon on Wizards . com , to represent the Ugnaught reporter , Ars Fivvle . What ' s the Story . While Yoxgit ' s 1998 card had provided him with a small amount of story , the character ' s story was further fleshed out for his entry in the StarWars . com Databank by Edward M . Erdelac , writing as " caledre , " through StarWars . com ' s feature , " What ' s The Story ? " In his on StarWars . com , Erdelac briefly described his thought process for creating Yoxgit ' s databank entry . From Yoxgit ' s screen time in " Return of the Jedi " , where Yoxgit wore different clothes from the Ugnaughts from the previous movie on Cloud City and spent most of his time drinking on the " Khetanna " , Erdelac decided that Yoxgit was a type of individual who wanted to live well and do as little real work as possible . From this concept , he gave Yoxgit a chrome - plated cloud car . As a fan of Wizards of the Coast ' s " Star Wars Miniatures " game , Erdelac made Yoxgit a technician in the entry thinking that the " Ugnaught Technician " miniature from the had the same appearance as Yoxgit , but later found out that he more resembled the " Ugnaught Demolitionist " piece from the . In addition , Erdelac used several elements from previous " What ' s The Story ? " entries , such as A ' roFilter from Benjamin Christopher Norton Dawe ' s Willrow Hood entry , and Wam Lufba , whose entry had been written by Tim Veekhoven , and which Erdelac had particularly enjoyed . In the original submission , Erdelac wrote that Yoxgit had been invited to view the execution on the " Khetanna " due to him installing a silent alarm on Han Solo ' s carbonite casing that detected Princess Leia Organa opening it , but during the editing process the reference was cut . The entry also did not make it clear whether his modified luxury cloud car was originally a Storm IV Twin - Pod cloud car , such as the ones seen in " The Empire Strikes Back " , or some other model . " The Empire Strikes Back " retcon and further developments . In 2009 , an Ugnaught from " The Empire Strikes Back " with a similar appearance to Yoxgit albeit with a gray uniform , received a action figure that was packaged with the controls to the carbon freezing chamber in Hasbro ' s " " set , and the Ugnaught was also pictured on the packaging of another Ugnaught figure . During 2010 , Yoxgit was featured as an antagonist in the light side campaign of " The Price of Victory " , the eighth set of virtual cards in the " Star Wars Galaxies Trading Card Game " . His card in the set was illustrated by Ryan Barger . The next year , Yoxgit was mentioned in the Ugnaught entry of " Star Wars Character Encyclopedia " , a Dorling Kindersley reference book . In 2013 , Yoxgit was retcon ned to be one of the Ugnaughts from " The Empire Strikes Back " in " Rogues Gallery : Pigs in Space ! " , an article written by Leland Y . Chee in " Star Wars Insider " " 138 " . The character retconned to be Yoxgit was one of the Ugnaughts preparing the carbon freezing chamber to be used on Han Solo . The retcon did introduce contradictions , since the databank entry said that Yoxgit did not mingle with Cloud City ' s Ugnaughts and wore different clothes . As the character identified with Yoxgit from " The Empire Strikes Back " wore similar garb to other Ugnaughts and worked alongside them , this article was written with the assumption that the information from " Pigs in Space ! " overrides the information presented in the databank . From the picture identified as Yoxgit from the article , he can be identified as the same character that received an action figure in Kenner ' s 1980 toyline and as well as a 1998 figure in Kenner ' s set . An Ugnaught with a similar appearance to Yoxgit was in the scene where Chewbacca rescues C - 3PO from being melted down , but that Ugnaught wore a gray uniform that was different from the one worn by Yoxgit . The 2009 Ugnaught action figure by Hasbro also cannot be confirmed as Yoxgit , due to the difference in clothing from the picture in Chee ' s article . The Tian Chyler card from " The Price of Victory " also pictured an Ugnaught with a similar appearance to Yoxgit in " Episode V " , but which differed from Yoxgit ' s appearance in the set .
