Sollag Den Sollag Den , also spelled Zolag , was an alien from Tammuz - an . He was a loyal servant to Prince Mon Julpa and played an integral part in helping Julpa maintain control of the throne . Biography . Several years prior to the Battle of Yavin , Sollag discovered that Zatec - Cha , the royal vizier of Tammuz - an , had used his magic to turn Prince Mon Julpa into an addle - brained amnesiac . He banished him from the planet and took measures to claim the Tammuz - an Royal Scepter for himself . Sollag looked everywhere for his lost prince . His search eventually led him to the mining world Tyne ' s Horky where he learned that a bounty had been placed on Mon Julpa ' s head . IG - 88 , an assassin droid , had accepted the bounty and was en route to Tyne ' s Horky to kill Mon Julpa . Sollag entered Doodnik ' s Café and found a bounty hunter / criminal named Kleb Zellock . Caring little for Zellock ' s unscrupulous nature , he offered him 40 , 000 keshel s to find Mon Julpa before IG - 88 . Kleb , willing to do just about anything for such an exorbitant fee , quickly accepted the offer . Kleb later turned on Sollag , deciding that a royal prince of Tammuz - an could likely fetch a much larger price than a mere 40 , 000 keshels . Sollag was devastated at the betrayal . He soon learned that Kleb had indeed captured Mon Julpa and put him to work , laboring in his keschel mines . Sollag sneaked into Zellock ' s mines and helped rescue Mon Julpa , as well as several other slaves , namely Jann Tosh , C - 3PO and R2 - D2 . Upon finding his prince , Sollag presented him with the Tammuza - an Royal Scepter . Contact with the scepter cured Julpa of Zatec - Cha ' s magic and he regained control of his faculties . After escaping from Kleb Zellock ' s mining camp , they returned to Tammuz - an , where they helped to overthrow Zatec - Cha and reinstate Mon Julpa as the rightful ruler of the planet . Sollag continued to serve as an advisor to Mon Julpa during the Battle of Tammuz - an . He later aided with the negotiations with Lord Toda , ruler of the Outer Territories on Tammuz - an . Although he verbally sparred with Toda in defense of his king , the two cooperated in the rescue of Toda ' s daughter , Princess Gerin , when she was kidnapped during an escape attempt by the pirate Gir Kybo Ren - Cha . Personality and traits . Sollag ' s size and build were typical of that of a native of Tammuz - an . He had a purple complexion with a large mane of red hair . While traveling the Outer Rim , Sollag dressed in simple attire , but while he was on Tammuz - an , he wore the traditional , high - collared robes befitting one of his station . To all accounts , Sollag came across as a sniveling and weak - willed person , but he was fiercely loyal to Prince Mon Julpa and would go to great extremes to secure the prince ' s safety . Sollag was a kind - hearted individual and showed immense gratitude towards Jann Tosh , C - 3PO , and R2 - D2 for aiding him in rescuing the prince . Behind the scenes . The character was voiced by John Stocker . The English subtitles on the " " DVD spell Sollag ' s name as " Zolag . " Original production art and the Jann Tosh entry at the Databank spell his name as " Sollag . " Considering that both versions come from canonical Lucasfilm sources , it can be safely assumed that " Zolag " is just an in - universe variant spelling of " Sollag . "
