Biography . The male Bimm Rayc Ryjerd was born before 4 ABY to the trader Rycar Ryjerd . While working as a smuggler , he fell into debt after purchasing a starship and began working for the crime lord Jabba the Hutt in an effort to pay off his debts . By 4 ABY , Ryjerd had become romantically involved with the Corellian gunrunner Laudica , who dated the Bimm against her better judgment . Both of them were present in the courtroom of Jabba ' s Palace on Tatooine in 4 ABY when the Jedi Luke Skywalker arrived in order to bargain for the life of his friend Han Solo , who was being held prisoner in the palace ' s dungeons . When Jabba dropped Skywalker into the palace ' s Rancor pit , Ryjerd and various other courtroom denizens watched from above as the Jedi did battle with Jabba ' s rancor . After Skywalker killed the creature , Jabba sentenced Skywalker , Solo , and Solo ' s companion Chewbacca to be thrown into Tatooine ' s Great Pit of Carkoon , where they would be eaten by a Sarlacc . The Hutt brought many members of his court onto the " Khetanna " , a luxury sail barge , for the journey to the pit across the Dune Sea . Ryjerd was one such court member . During the voyage , the drink - serving astromech droid R2 - D2 spilled liquid on Ryjerd after being bumped into by the protocol droid C - 3PO . When the " Khetanna " arrived at the Sarlacc pit , Skywalker and his friends made a last stand , and the " Khetanna " was destroyed . Personality and traits . Ryjerd was a dishonest smuggler and was considered to be an idiot , even more so than his father . Although he was romantically involved with Laudica , she considered the arrangement to be contrary to her better judgment . He was , however , a skilled starship pilot , able to counter the Tallon Roll maneuver . Ryjerd sported a cap and had brown hair and a mustache . He watched and jeered in delight when Skywalker battled Jabba ' s pet rancor . Behind the scenes . Rayc Ryjerd first appeared as an extra in Richard Marquand ' s 1983 film , in which he was played by an uncredited actor . The " Jabba ' s Palace Limited " expansion set of the Decipher , Inc . " Star Wars " Customizable Card Game , released in 1998 , included a card of the character that gave him a name and biographical details . According to a " Star Wars CCG " fan site , Rayc and Rycar Ryjerd were named as anagrams of Decipher game designer Jerry Darcy , with the latter ' s name having an extra " R " added . Ryjerd is not mentioned in the magazine article " Who ' s Who in Jabba ' s Palace " , which was published in the sixtieth issue of " Star Wars Insider " . The article does , however , include an illustration of Jabba ' s chef Porcellus which greatly resembles the cap - wearing , mustachioed Ryjerd rather than the clean - shaven Porcellus depicted in the video game " Star Wars Galaxies " .
