Glah Ubooki Glah Ubooki was a Bimm merchant who owned a shop in Glastro on Bimmisaari who had specialized in imports from all over the galaxy , selling virtually everything from technology to pets , but was also known to offer his customers debris from the Destruction of Alderaan as well as a glove once worn by Darth Vader . Somewhat of a mysterious character , Ubooki ' s features were often familiar to galactic citizens , and some would even argue to have made business with Ubooki in another shop somewhere else in the galaxy . Ubooki himself , however , always claimed to own only the shop in Glastro . Biography . Glah Ubooki was a male Bimm born on the planet Bimmisaari , and had at least seventeen identical brothers . Around 6 BBY , Ubooki discovered a crashed Imperial Department of Military Research vessel in the asaari woods close to his home . Ubooki found no survivors , and began to search the wreckage , determined to salvage something before Imperial forces arrived . He discovered prototype weapons and equipment that the Empire was developing for use against the nascent Alliance to Restore the Republic . Returning home , he gathered seven of his brothers and headed back to the crash site . Over the course of three hours , the siblings salvaged whatever equipment they could find . The brothers took their haul to Glastro , the nearest city , where they hoped to sell their wares . A Rebel smuggler saw the equipment , and , realizing its value , paid Ubooki and his brothers an enormous sum of credits for everything . Ubooki and his brothers lived well for several months , but as the money started to run out , Ubooki proposed a plan to his brothers . They would take the rest of their money , pool it together and purchase a starship . Then , they would search nearby systems for unique finds like the R & D vessel and sell the salvage . The plan , of the face of it , was optimistic , and the brothers were emboldened by their consumption of Glastroan wine . However , the eight brothers bought a ship , and set off to find their fortune . Ubooki and his brothers were wildly successful . The Alliance and the Imperial forces near Bimmisaari were not numerous , and they conducted their war through the use of orbital bombings and long - range missiles . In the confusion , the Ubooki brothers would have access to abandoned facilities for several hours , allowing them to recover thousands of credits worth of salvage and information . After a few weeks , as far from the attack sites as possible , they would sell their bounty to the opposing side , or even those it had been stolen from . To maintain secrecy , the brothers would never be present in the market at the same time . Only one would sell the items , and would identify himself as " Glah Ubooki " . This ruse kept their enterprise safe as any potential threats would be searching for a single Bimm rather than a group of them . As " Glah Ubooki " ' s reputation grew , smugglers , explorers and pirates approached him with wares to sell . Up until the Battle of Endor , the Ubooki brothers dealt mainly in weapons and armor , but turned their attention to strange and wondrous alien artifacts . After gathering a large store of such devices , the brothers eventually opened a shop on Bimmisaari in Glastro . The enterprise was successful , and each of the seven brothers took some of the stock and opened up shops on other planets , including Tatooine and Coruscant . The private joke of them all being " Glah Ubooki " stuck , and each brother pretended to be the same individual , and that their store was the only one in existence . Eventually , the ruse spread and included more of Ubooki ' s brothers , until eighteen shops were open across the galaxy . Every year , the Ubooki brothers celebrated their success with a week - long party .
