Wuher / Legends Wuher was a male Human from Tatooine who worked as a bartender in Chalmun ' s Spaceport Cantina . Wuher lived on Tatooine all of his life . His original training in the field came from a correspondence school . Biography . As a child , Wuher lead a harsh life as an abandoned orphan living in Mos Eisley . As he grew he began to tinker with his chemistry kit , and developed a taste for interesting drinks which eventually lead him to bartending correspondence school . He was rejected by most people , and he witnessed the cold - blooded assassination of a Shi ' ido by Aurra Sing in 27 BBY . His childhood gave rise to his overly gruff , sour attitude . Later in life , Wuher was one of two bartenders at Chalmun ' s Spaceport Cantina . The other bartender that he shared the role with was Ackmena , a female Human . It was here that he developed a dislike toward droids and gained a certain satisfaction from removing them from the cantina . He claimed this was mainly due to the fact that they took up space in the cantina and did not require refreshment , but in fact he admitted only to himself , that droids were the only creatures he felt truly comfortable removing because he knew he could offend no one by asking . At some point his EPT - 212 droid detector was stolen by a Jawa trader named Dathcha . Wuher had hired a spacer to recover the detector , and when it was brought back , he promised the spacer an unlimited amount of free drinks in the cantina . As bartenders and bioalchemists went , Wuher was a genius . In a profession of serving drinks to an array of differing creatures and their biochemistry , simple humans were often distrusted with the ability to serve drinks safely . Despite this his knowledge of chemicals was exceptional , particularly when it applied to what substances are toxic , or merely intoxicating , to alien species . He was an expert at mixing the proper substances together to provide the most pleasant neurochemical reactions in his patrons . His most popular drinks were Blue milk , Juri juice , and Sarlacc kicker , and he even invented a drink of his own called the Frosty Sulphate . Despite his personality , Wuher fostered a dream beneath his grizzly shell . He longed to make a signature drink that would earn him fame and wealth from Jabba the Hutt . Working in the cantina ' s basement with an elaborate chemistry kit , Wuher worked daily , mixing all of Jabba ' s favorite drinks in perfect portions in an attempt to produce an elixir , a perfect liqueur suited exactly to the taste buds of Jabba . He imagined that one day the wealth this drink would provide would allow him to leave the detestable planet of Tatooine . On the fateful day that Luke Skywalker met Han Solo a 0 BBY , he told Luke to take two droids , R2 - D2 and C - 3PO , outside before he served him a glass of water . The fight between Doctor Cornelius Evazan , Ponda Baba , Luke Skywalker , and Obi - Wan Kenobi happened in front of his eyes . He also served the bounty hunter Greedo , and eventually witnessed Han Solo killing Greedo on that very same day . Before these events , Wuher had been working below the cantina on Jabba ' s perfect drink . Wuher knew he had almost perfected the beverage , but it was slightly lacking . Relying on his exceptional sense of smell , he realized the pheromones Greedo exuded were the final flavor the drink required . Employing his newly found droid C2 - R4 , he obtained Greedo ' s corpse and had C2 - R4 brew Greedo into the liqueur . Upon tasting , Wuher believed he had finally created Jabba ' s perfect drink and at the same time , discovered a new - found sense of appreciation for droids . The next day , he was called on by Mos Eisley police investigating the death of Feltipern Trevagg . He informed them that H ' nemthe females ritually disembowel their husbands on the wedding night . Sometime later , Wuher found himself in the middle of firefight within his own cantina , when Thuku and a group of his thugs attacked a Rebel operative during a meeting . The street fortune teller known as the Prophetess told Wuher that he was the reincarnation of Cedo Partu , the original builder of the cantina . After hearing of this , Wuher banned the Prophetess from entering the cantina . Wuher knew Mirax Terrik well and developed a little " game " with her whereby he would point out to troublemakers that she was the daughter of Booster Terrik . They played this trick during the Bacta War , on an occasion when Corran Horn and Mirax visited the cantina on their way to Huff Darklighter ' s estate . Behind the scenes . Wuher was portrayed by British actor Ted Burnett in " " . However , his dialog was replaced by another actor ' s voice . Wuher was only known as " The Bartender " at the time of the film ' s release . The " Mos Eisley Adventure Set " first identified the bartender as " Cedo Partu , " but the name never stuck , and the character was later renamed as " Wuher . " Pablo Hidalgo created a retcon in " Star Wars Insider 91 " to acknowledge the old name — establishing Cedo Partu as a separate character , and The Prophetess ' s claim that Wuher was the reincarnated soul of Cedo Partu . In the audio dramatization of " " , Wuher was voiced by Steve Winfield . In the Nintendo DS version of , Wuher can fly across gaps like an Astromech droid .
