Doallyn Doallyn was a hunter from Geran who served under Jabba Desilijic Tiure . Biography . A hunter by trade , Doallyn had two reasons to wear a mask : the first being that he needed to breathe hydron - three to stay alive on planets with an oxygen - rich atmosphere , the second being that his face was once hideously scarred by the poisoned claws of a Corellian sand panther . He eventually came to Mos Eisley to hunt a krayt dragon for Jabba the Hutt to pit against his rancor in a head - to - head fight . However , he ended up getting drunk in the cantina , and gambled to his detriment . He awoke from his drinking binge to discover that he had lost the game and now owed Jabba a year ' s service . During one memorable time in Jabba ' s Palace , immediately following the feeding of Oola to the rancor , an Ubese bounty hunter named Boushh , actually Princess Leia Organa in disguise , silenced the crowd with a blaster shot . As Doallyn hurried over to inspect the situation , he found himself thrown painfully against the wall by " Boushh ' s " quarry , the powerful Wookiee Chewbacca . Both Leia and Chewbacca were only posing as a bounty hunter and captive respectively to attempt to rescue their friend , Han Solo . When Jabba died , Doallyn escaped with the dancer Yarna d ' al ' Gargan , who knew about Dannik Jerriko killing people , and so he promised to guard her if she led him to Jabba ' s supply of cartridges of hydron - three that would keep him alive . Doallyn saved her from an attempted rape by Tornik and Warlug . Later , when Jerriko appeared in front of them , Doallyn shot him , which forced the Anzat to retreat into the shadows . With the supplies , the two fled towards Mos Eisley in a speeder . During their conversations , Doallyn confessed to Yarna about his face being hideously scarred behind his mask and how it had happened . Later , near to Mos Eisley , their speeder crashed into a sand pit , right next to a krayt dragon . Doallyn managed to kill it with one shot directly in its sinus cavity . Although after he had taken the pearls from its stomach , he was cutting off part of the tail as a trophy when it twitched reflexively , knocking him out . By now Doallyn had run out of hydron - three , the canisters of gas he needed to breathe to stay alive . Yarna carried him to Mos Eisley , and used some of the jewels she had been saving in order to buy back her children to buy him some more hydron - three , which saved his life . He repaid her with the dragon pearls , and together they bought back her children ( Luka and Leia d ' al ' Gargan , named after Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa , and Nautag d ' al ' Gargan named after the cubs ' father ) , bought a spaceship and left Tatooine . The two became free traders , specializing in textiles and gems . Yarna often danced to earn extra credits — in fact she even danced at the wedding of Han Solo and Leia Organa — and Doallyn sometimes hunted creatures to sell to zoos . Yarna ' s children became a jizz swing band , and together they toured the galaxy . When Yarna became a model for jeweled brassiere s , Doallyn managed her career . Behind the scenes . There are actually two Doallyns in " " . The first is seen more closely when Chewbacca pushes him down the steps of the entrance to Jabba ' s Audience Chamber . This Doallyn wears a black mask and black body suit . Some believe that it is Bane Malar who is pushed down the stairs , but the two characters have different helmets and suits . The second Doallyn appears aboard the second skiff at the Battle of the Great Pit of Carkoon . He wears a black helmet and a white body suit . This Doallyn is killed by Luke Skywalker , yet Doallyn is supposed to have survived the battle of Carkoon and returned to Jabba ' s Palace to rescue Yarna d ' al ' Gargan . There were probably two actors wearing similar outfits and the same helmet during filming . It is assumed that the black - outfit Doallyn in Jabba ' s Palace is the actual Doallyn , while the white - outfit skiff guard is a completely different character that has been identified as Brock Starsher .
