However , she eventually left Bestine after receiving news that her husband had been detected alive in Wild Space , and was on his way home to reunite with her . Biography . Toy for the Children . The Human female by the name of Binna Jode was a small - time criminal and bartender who lived during the time of the Galactic Civil War . She was married to a cargo freighter pilot , but her husband went missing when he was forced to make a wild jump into hyperspace after running into pirates on the Corellian Run . Years later , sometime following the Battle of Yavin in 0 BBY , Jode continued to remain as the owner of the Cheapside Cantina located in the Imperial capital of Bestine on the Outer Rim world of Tatooine . During her time at this city ' s local cantina , Jode held out hope that her husband might one day return . While she eagerly awaited for a miracle , Jode found herself befriending locals , and becoming involved in a number of their affairs . At one point , Jode learned of an Imperial stormtrooper attack on a nearby Rebel base . However , during the attack , the Imperial ' s blaster fire went astray , almost killing an innocent civilian family . Feeling for their plight , Jode sent the the traumatized family to stay with a friend of hers . Binna Jode did not feel there was much else she could do , but when a spacer stopped by the Cheapside Cantina to speak with her , she asked the individual to help deliver a toy for the family ' s children . The spacer agreed to deliver the toy , which was contained inside an empty metal fuel drum , crudely decorated with colorful drawings . However , the spacer was unable to meet with the family personally , because they had been called away to tend to a child who had been put into the bacta tanks . Nevertheless , a Human woman named Deehan met with the spacer outside of Bestine , and promised to give the toy to the children . For the spacer ' s part in helping the family ' s children , Binna Jode prepared for the individual a delicious , special casserole . The casserole resembled a worrt casserole , prepared from the meat of the planet ' s native species of worrt , however Jode did not specify the contents of her meal . Clone Wars Veteran . Meanwhile , a local veteran of the Clone Wars named Gen Horosi ended up getting injured when a crazed glitterstim spice addict took a random pot - shot at him . Friends of Herosi helped the old war veteran home , but he was still in need of medical attention . When Jode learned of the incident , she gathered what credits she could and purchased a stimpak . Fortunately for Jode , the spacer who had helped her earlier continued to patronize the cantina , and agreed to personally deliver the medical device to Herosi , who could sometimes be found wandering aimlessly outside of town . Jode was grateful for the spacer ' s help , but reminded the individual not to mention Emperor Palpatine , as merely saying his name was known to agitate Herosi . With this in mind , the spacer encountered the injured war veteran walking around the desert outside of Bestine . When Herosi saw the spacer approaching him , he was at first troubled , as he nearly mistook the spacer as a Confederate battle droid . However , when he realized he was actually being given a stimpak for his injuries , he settled down somewhat , and willingly took the device . Again , for the spacer ' s help , Jode offered the spacer a meal , this time in the form of a soup . The soup was in fact a special gift from Bren Kingal , a junior officer of the Rebel Alliance who handled security matters in Mos Taike , a small town on Tatooine . The soup was prepared from the secret recipe of Bren Kingal ' s sister . Maternity Gift . A friend of Binna Jode , named Peele Noonal , in the meantime gave birth to her first child . Following the birth , a nurse wrapped the baby in Noonal ' s shirt . When Jode learned of this , she was somewhat dismayed , as she knew that Noonal ' s shirt would be ruined by the baby . To help out her friend , Jode took off her black sidebutton shirt , and asked the spacer who had helped her earlier to deliver it to the young mother . Although the spacer was somewhat perturbed by the fact that the shirt was still warm , the maternity gift nevertheless made its way to Noonal , who was found wandering outside of Bestine before an impending sandstorm . For the spacer ' s part in helping out her friend , Jode offered a glass of Veronian berry wine on the house . Dinnis the Blade . Binna Jode continued to hold out hope that her long lost husband might one day return . Although Jode was not eager to stay in Bestine as the proprietor of the Cheapside Cantina , she feared that her husband might never find her if she were to leave . Her wait would soon come to an end , when Jode one day received a datadisc from a friend on Corellia which supposedly contained information on her husband . However , the data on the report , which was sent by a friend who had attempted to look for her husband , ended up getting corrupted . In order to salvage the data , Jode asked the helpful spacer to deliver the datadisc to a data slicer friend of hers known as Dinnis the Blade . The spacer obliged , and carried the valuable datadisc outside of town to meet with the eccentric data slicer . After handing over the datadisc , Dinnis the Blade provided a quick analysis , and concluded that Binna Jode ' s husband may have actually survived . He told the spacer that he was receiving some kind of distant signal from Wild Space , and that although the husband had a bad engine and was low on fuel , he was flying on his way home . After receiving Dinnis ' analysis , the spacer headed back to the Cheapside Cantina to deliver the good news . Alone with Her Dreams . When the spacer finally returned to the confines of the Cheapside Cantina to provide news of Binna Jode ' s husband , Jode was was shaken , and said she needed to sit down . She briefly thanked the spacer , but asked that she be left alone to collect her thoughts . Per tradition however , Jode did provide the spacer a final gift in the form of a dustcrepe . The meal was a type of light crepe commonly served on Tatooine , comprising of a dry type of bread , wheat , and a filling of herbivore meat . Although Binna Jode asked to be left alone , she did say the spacer came in handy , and that she might have more work in the future . However , this was not to be . Sometime after receiving news of her husband , Binna Jode left the Cheapside Cantina , and could no longer be found there . Personality and traits . Binna Jode had fair skin , reddish - brown hair , and brown colored eyes . Although she did not appear particularly aged , she on at least one occasion referred to herself as an " old lady . " Jode was a kind and helpful individual , who was often willing to look after her friends . Her friend , Peele Noonal , referred to Jode as the " nicest lady in the galaxy " for providing her with her own sidebutton shirt . Jode was also quite charitable , in that she had scrounged together her own credits to help purchase a stimpak for the Clone Wars veteran Gen Herosi . Jode especially cared for her husband , and never gave up hope that he might one day return to the Cheapside Cantina to find her , even years after he went missing . In addition to her talents as a bartender , Binna Jode was also a skilled cook , known to make delicious meals such as casseroles . She was also able to defend herself in combat , as she had at least some skill as a carbineer and pikeman . Although Binna Jode was not very outspoken about her political beliefs , she did appear to have at least some disdain for the Galactic Empire . When Imperial stormtroopers injured an innocent civilian family , she derided the fact that they could not aim . She also had ties to some individuals who had no love for the Emperor , including Rebel junior officer Bren Kingal , and the Clone Wars veteran Herosi . Jode spoke fondly of Gen Herosi , claiming he had " been through more than any squadron of stormtroopers . " Equipment .
