Ickabel G ' ont / Legends Ickabel G ' ont was a Bith musician and professional Double Jocimer player for the popular Jizz band known as Figrin D ' an and the Modal Nodes . Like his band mates , Ickabel was registered with the Intergalactic Federation of Musicians . Regions of Ickabel ' s highly evolved brain allowed him a special acuity when it came to analyzing and relating to music . As such , his talents helped to greatly enhance the quality and popularity of the Modal Nodes ' music . Biography . Shortly before the Battle of Yavin , Figrin D ' an and the Modal Nodes had entered into an exclusive contract with the Tatooine crimelord , Jabba Desilijic Tiure . They would routinely perform in the courts at Jabba ' s Palace and his Mos Eisley townhouse , but it didn ' t take long before they all regretted entering into a contract with the Hutt . Recognizing Jabba ' s penchant for executing underlings that displeased him at a moment ' s notice , the Modal Nodes began to fear for their lives . It would only be a matter of time before Jabba decided to make a snack of the musicians , by tossing one down into the dungeon abode of his pet Rancor . Fortunately for them , a golden opportunity was fresh at hand . One of Jabba ' s rivals , a Whiphid named Lady Valarian , offered the band 3 , 000 credits to perform at her wedding to the Whiphid hunter , D ' Wopp . Figrin decided that the fast money would enable them to get off of Tatooine and out from under the thumb of Jabba the Hutt . They arrived at the Star Chamber Café reception hall inside of the Lucky Despot Hotel & Casino in Mos Eisley . Jabba learned of the Modal Nodes breach of contract and sent several of his bounty hunters down to the casino to disrupt the festivities . As luck would have it , Imperial Stormtroopers likewise raided the party and a massive fire - fight broke out . During the confusion , the Modal Nodes met a party guest named Wuher who showed them a quick way out . Wuher put in a good word for them with Chalmun – a Wookiee who owned a nearby cantina where Wuher tended bar . Chalmun hired the Modal Nodes to play a couple of gigs at his bar , the following evening . They were performing the night when Luke Skywalker and Obi - Wan Kenobi entered the cantina seeking a pilot willing to ferry them to the Alderaan system . They continued to perform at Chalmun ' s on a regular basis . Occasionally , Chalmun ' s nightshift manager , Ackmena , would liven the bar ' s atmosphere by singing along with the Modal Nodes ' rhythms . Shortly after this event , Figrin D ' an wagered the band ’ s instruments and equipment on a hand of Sabacc . He lost the bet , but the Modal Nodes soon convinced him to win their equipment back . He eventually succeeded and the Modal Nodes went on to play the intergalactic circuit . Personality . Ickabel ' s favorite song to perform was a piece entitled , " Tears of Aquanna " . He enjoyed it mostly because the song allowed him the opportunity to perform a long , elaborate Double Jocimer solo . Notes . Like many in the band , Ickabel G ' ont did not actually own his Double Jocimer . All of the instruments and equipment were the property of Figrin D ' an ( the only exception to this was Doikk Na ' ts , who custom built his own Fizzz ) . Behind the scenes . The role of Ickabel G ' ont was played by visual effects artist Doug Beswick . Doug also doubled as Lirin Car ' n , but was never given screen credit for either role . In 1997 , Kenner released a special " Power of the Force " series Fan Club exclusive offer for generic Cantina Band figures . Each figure came with five different instruments and was merely labeled " Cantina Band Member . " In 1997 , Ickabel G ' ont was released as a twelve - inch action figure for the exclusive Star Wars Collector Series In 2007 , the Kenner mold was reissued as part of an exclusive Commemorative Tin Set containing the members of the Modal Nodes . One of these figures could be either Ickabel G ' ont or fellow band member Tedn Dahai , since both play the same instrument . All of the figures in this set wear fabric vests .
