In Mos Eisley , Han Solo interrogates a Kubaz as to the location of Grubba , the nephew of Jabba the Hutt . The Kubaz squeals , and reveals where Udin , his hive - mate , took Grubba : Kubindi . Han , satisfied , releases the Kubaz , but is soon set upon by the town militia , and is forced to flee . Meanwhile , Udin and Grubba , along with Dengar and Eron Stonefield , reach Kubindi in the " Punishing One " . They safely wait in the Silver Forest of Dreams for Solo to arrive . He does , and lands outside the forest , deciding to advance through using landspeeders . Solo hires a local guide , Bizzin Uz , to help them through the Silver Forest . One of the rebels is paired with C - 3PO , whose sensors prove to be invaluable . Bizzin Uz leads the group , warning them that if they see any other Kubaz , it ' s likely police or poachers . The Rebel encounters a giant water monster of unknown species , and is forced to evade it , but wanders into an entire nest of them . Eventually , the Rebel is so beset by creatures , that their companions leave them behind . The Rebel is captured by a Giant mantys , leaving Threepio alone and stranded in the Forest . Taking it to its treetop nest , the mantys fights the Rebel , who is able to defeat the giant creature . The Rebel then rappels down the tree , hoping to find Threepio waiting . Upon reaching the forest floor , the droid is not to be seen , so the Rebel ventures into a cave . After an hour of exploration , the Rebel encounters a Giant termyte , which it defeats . Spending the night in the cave , the Rebel is woken by Threepio , who had apparently sought shelter in their absence . Resuming their earlier journey , the Rebel encounters Uz , who has been fatally bitten by a spydr . Uz tells the Rebel that his companions have been captured and taken to the Zabin Hive . Just as Uz succumbs to his injuries , a squad of Kubaz enforcers from Zabin Hive arrive , inspecting Uz ' corpse . The Rebel hides until most of the enforcers leave , and then defeats the remainder with Threepio ' s help . Upon reaching the Zabin Hive , Threepio and the Rebel are able to bluff their way to the detention facility , where they are beset by security droids and taken to see Queen Zabin . The Queen agrees to turn over the Rebel ' s captured comrades , supply the Rebellion with spydr meat , and turn over the captured Grubba , but only if the Rebel can cook a fine dish with spydr meat . The Rebel is able to do so , but unfortunately for them , Grubba was taken away while they were in the kitchen . Despite this , the bounty hunters leave a message on the " Millennium Falcon " , goading the Rebels to follow them and attempt to reclaim Grubba on the " Tafanda Bay " , over Ithor .
