Kabe / Legends Kabe , a female Chadra - Fan , was a regular visitor of the Mos Eisley cantina . She loved juri juice . Biography . Kabe was the adopted daughter of Muftak , a Talz . Muftak found her on the streets of Mos Eisley , apparently abandoned by slavers who thought she was too small to sell . Muftak took her in and taught her the ways of the street . Kabe lived with him in in a section of abandoned tunnels beneath Docking Bay 83 . Whenever Muftak and Kabe went to the Mos Eisley cantina , Kabe would drink too much juri juice , and Muftak would have to carry her home . Despite his rough look , Muftak was a good guardian and cared about Kabe , although he was obsessed with finding out what species he was . Kabe worried that when he did , he would leave her and travel to his home planet . Kabe was an associate of Greedo , and knew information that many others did not . She helped Greedo find Temo Dionisio when the Rebel sympathizer went missing . Kabe and Muftak made their living through thievery . Kabe was a petty thief and would often pick the pockets of other bar patrons . The pair sometimes robbed , or attempted to rob , Imperial establishments . Desiring for more , Kabe would occasionally pester Muftak about robbing Jabba Desilijic Tiure ' s town house in Mos Eisley . Muftak and Kabe eventually did . Aided by Jabba ' s droid K - 8LR after they removed his restraining bolt , they managed to steal many treasures from the Hutt . In the mansion , they came across a Rebel operative being tortured by a nerve disruptor . Kabe freed him and he gave them a datachip and told them to give it to a Mon Calamari to earn 30 , 000 credits . As they made their way down the hallway they were discovered by two Gamorrean guards . A large blaster fight erupted as they made their way to the main audience chamber . There a fire broke out . Muftak told Kabe to run , saying he would be right behind her . When Kabe got outside , she realized he had no intention of saving his life as well . Kabe dropped her sack of treasure and ran back in to help Muftak get away . They managed to escape , but found that to their great dismay the sack was gone . However , they still had the datachip . They delivered it , and were given 15 , 000 credits by the Mon Calamari . They also received several letters of transit signed by Grand Moff Wilhuff Tarkin , enabling them to travel anywhere . With these , Muftak was finally able to travel to his home planet of Alzoc III and brought Kabe to her home planet , Chad . Behind the scenes . Kabe was portrayed by Rusty Goffe in " A New Hope " . Kabe first appeared in the of " " ghostwritten by Alan Dean Foster and published on November 12 , 1976 , half a year before the film was released . Kabe was unnamed and described as a rodent - like alien . In the cantina scene , she accompanied a short human and a many - eyed alien — early incarnations of Cornelius Evazan and Ponda Baba — when they insulted and attacked Luke Skywalker . In this version , Obi - Wan Kenobi sliced Evazan ' s hand and cut Kabe and Baba in half . The scene was much the same in the revised fourth draft of the film ' s script . In the final film , though , Kabe didn ' t accompany Baba , and Obi - Wan dealt less drastically with the outlaws . However , upon closer examination of the sequence , Evazan can be seen talking to Kabe before the scuffle , indicating that the idea of them being allies may have lasted up to shooting . In one of the better - known " goofs " in " " , as Kabe is seen drinking her juri juice from the side , the camera clearly shows that the character ' s mask has transparent eyes ; you can see directly through one eye and out the other , making the bar behind her eyes visible . There is also another , lesser - known " goof " involving this character . As Wuher directs the stormtroopers to where Obi - Wan and Luke are seated , Kabe can be seen drinking through the chin of the mask , not the mouth . In " The Hovel on Terk Street " , Kabe is referred to as a male .
