Bith Bith are alien minifigures from the LEGO Star Wars Theme , who first appeared in the video game s and . They are non - playable characters with an all black shirt , gray pants ( black in mini - movies ) , flesh tone skin and a new large head piece . They made up the four musicians at Mos Eisley Cantina , however in the games , there are only three of them , two mouth instrument musicians and a drummer , present . In The Complete Saga game , when Music is turned off , they do not play music and instead look bored and confused without their instruments . In 2014 , the Bith Musicians were finally released in a physical form for the first time in 75052 Mos Eisley Cantina . Background . The Bith were a species native to Clak ' dor VII . The Bith were one of the galaxy ' s most ancient civilizations , with a history going back millions of years . This antiquity garnered respect in certain quarters , such as among the Gree , who gave them more respect than other , " younger " species . Their society was highly regimented , with everything from mate selection to political leadership controlled by sophisticated computer programs . Made easily accessible to the Galactic Republic circa 5500 BBY with the blazing of the Rimma Trade Route , the Bith were moving around in the galaxy by the time of the Great Sith War , as their homeworld was part of space greatly explored by the Republic at that time . Considered part of the civilized galaxy by the time of the Jedi Civil War , the Bith homeworld was located in space controlled by the New Sith Empire during the Republic Dark Age , though it was not directly affiliated with the Empire . When the Republic recovered following the Ruusan Reformation the Bith became a vocal voice in the Galactic Senate , gaining a seat in the Senate Building on Coruscant . Circa 300 BBY , the Bith city - states of Nozho and Weogar engaged in a massive civil war using biological weapons over patent rights to a new hyperdrive . The aftermath of the Nozho – Weogar War destroyed Clak ' dor VII ' s ecosystem and crippled the Bith industrial capacity , forcing the Bith to retreat to sealed cities and rely on imported goods and machinery to keep their society functioning . The Y ' bith , a subspecies of Bith , were descended from Bith whose genetic code was altered in the aftermath of a biological attack on Nozho . These " ghost Bith " resettled on Clak ' dor IV and developed their own society , somewhat estranged from the Bith mainstream . The war also brought out a strong pacifistic streak in Bith culture , electing vocal Senate members who pushed for galactic disarmament . While they attempted to remain neutral during the Separatist Crisis they were eventually coerced into supporting the Confederacy of Independent Systems against the Republic by Confederate leader Count Dooku . Both the Clone Wars and the rise of the Galactic Empire made the Bith uneasy about conditions in the rest of the galaxy , with most Bith choosing to wait out the dark times within Clak ' dor VII ' s sealed cities . After the Clone Wars ended , the Bith did not resist the Empire , instead putting their technical expertise at the service of the Imperial war machine . The Bith were horrified by the Empire , however , and were among the first species to be liberated from the Eriadu Authority by the New Republic in 5 ABY . The Bith did not emerge fully from their isolation until 8 ABY , shortly after the Hapans rejoined the Galactic community . A Republic stronghold during the Thrawn campaign , the Bith homeworld would go on to avoid invasion by the Yuuzhan Vong .
