Crin Crin was a soldier in the Rebel Alliance , stationed on Endor following the climactic battle over the moon . A volatile individual , he was drawn into conflict with the smuggler Rik Duel , a situation only resolved through the intervention of Luke Skywalker . Biography . Following the Rebellion ' s triumph over the Galactic Empire , the Rebels briefly used Endor as a base of operation , where Crin was stationed . During operations in trying to set up the Alliance of Free Planets , Crin became involved in a game of cards with Rik Duel , his gang , and the Iskalonian Kiro . Rik was an accomplished card player and easily cleaned out Crin and his soldier companions . Although Rik may have been just that much better than the Rebels , Crin did not take kindly to his money being taken away so easily . Crin accused Rik of cheating and demanded that he return his money . Tempers flared at the comments , and Rik had to be restrained by his companions . During a trading of verbal retorts , Crin threatened to kill Kiro if he interfered in the argument . Rik ' s accomplice Chihdo took offense to the remark and pulled his blaster pistol on Crin , who responded in kind . Quicker than the Rodian criminal , Crin hit Chihdo in the side with a blaster bolt , causing him to fall from the tree podium on which the card game was taking place . The rash act heated up the argument , and soon every person involved in the game had their weapon drawn . Luckily for Crin , Chihdo ' s fall was stopped by Luke Skywalker , who had been watching the entire situation unfold . However , the blaster bolt had badly injured the Rodian , and he lapsed into unconsciousness . As the members of the game stared each other down , Crin ' s fellow Rebel soldiers decided to take his side , declaring that while they didn ' t necessarily agree with what he had done , they always stuck together . As Crin and his friends aimed their weapons at Rik and the rest of his gang , Dani suddenly leaped at Crin , pinning him to the ground . In response , Crin began shooting wildly , trying to get free of the Zeltron ' s grip . One of his wild shots almost struck several people on the ground , including Leia Organa , who had been watching the scuffle with Commander Skywalker . Realizing that the situation was now out of control , Luke used the Force to propel himself up to the fight . Crin was still struggling against Dani , firing wildly , but Skywalker used his exceptional skill with his lightsaber to deflect one of the shots back at Crin , knocking the blaster out of the Rebel soldier ' s hands . Realizing the gravity of what he had done , Crin struck out at Dani , knocking her off of him , and decided to flee the scene . However , before he could get far , Crin was cut off by Skywalker who desired an end to the conflict . With a lightsaber in his face , Crin collapsed to his knees in surrender . Although Rik tried to get Skywalker to execute Crin for injuring Chihdo , he was interrupted by Kiro who had come to realize why Skywalker had refused to train him . Kiro had been isolating himself from his friends because he had been angry at Luke for not accepting him for training as a Jedi . The conflict with Crin had made him realize the terrible effect that pent - up rage could have on the soul , and he explained to the group that no one should strike out against their friends only because they are idle and angry . It is unknown whether Crin was court - martialed or punished for his actions , but he seemed to agree with Kiro ' s assessment of the situation after he had spoken . As a soldier stationed on Endor , it is likely that Crin took place in the upcoming Second Battle of Endor during the Nagai - Tof War , though to what extent is unknown .
