Thok Thok was a Gamorrean warrior , who served Jabba Desilijic Tiure ' s criminal empire as well as the forces of Arden Lyn / Demetrius Zaarin in the Galactic Empire . Biography . Thok was born and raised on Pzob , alongside his brother Gorc . Although they were typical of their species in the sense of their innate desire for battle and hatred of droids , Thok and Gorc were also unique in that they possessed a " magical power " where , when they finished a huge brunch topped off with a gallon of Gamorrean hooch and did an impromptu brofist , they belched a fireball . After their inadvertent first attempt had occurred that resulted in flambéing and scorching his clan - rival , Scumbo ' s snout , Thok decided along with his brother to go to other worlds to fight , as there were far bigger hogs to fry than on Pzob . He eventually bought a translator so he and Gorc could enter fights for various fortunes . Sometime later , they found work on Zlarbv IV as guinea pigs for the scientist , Dr . Pineas Pontak ' s development of the Pontak Hypergland . This made them swell up their muscles if sufficiently enraged , although the process was painful . After leaving Pontak ' s employment , they eventually went to Tatooine , where they were recruited by Ortugg into the bodyguard profession of Jabba Desilijic Tiure and his criminal empire , as Jabba himself saw their potential . He had many adventures under Jabba ' s employ . He once bolted when Ortugg told him to bring in the Rancor , as he recognized the creature as being the mythological spider - crab from Gamorr mythology when one such creature was introduced to their planet by the Rakata Empire millennia back . He also ratted out Pontak ' s location to Jabba when the latter required his presence to one - up Suppoon , his gang rival , in a Punjab . He received a promotion to personal bodyguard for this due to Jabba being impressed with his deduction . He and his brother were eventually arrested by The Prophetess one night on Mos Eisley ' s bar where he and Gorc , after drinking seven gallons of Zelostian wine , got into an immense bar fight where he and Gorc , with a Kloo Horn , bludgeoned three Gungan patrons to death , as well as fricasseed five Ugnaught patrons . He exposed Gorc ' s ability to erupt fire in an attempt to save his own hide , although this only resulted in their separation , with Thok specifically being placed in Prefect Orun Depp ' s prisons to rot while Gorc was experimented on . He was eventually freed by the ancient and cybernetic Emperor ' s Hand Arden Lyn , in exchange for supplying the Prophetess with information regarding a Panatha n mineral baron , as she had sensed his Force potential . Thok , due to his species ' hatred of mechanical things as well as Gamorr tradition , informed her that he ' d rather die than serve someone who can ' t defeat them in single combat , especially someone who was part - droid . Although it was a grueling fight , Thok ended up defeated by a single uppercut from Lyn ' s cybernetic arm . Lyn , impressed with his Force - enhanced abilities , then recruited him into her Teräs Käsi students , alongside the Force - sensitive stormtrooper 17786 and the former Grave Tuskens member KkH ' Oar ' Rrhr . He trained extensively for Lyn ' s mission to terminate the " Heroes of Yavin , " and managed to defeat them in battle , with Chewbacca being a particularly challenging foe . However , he was later involved in Lyn and Demetrius Zaarin ' s coup against Emperor Palpatine , having resurfaced alongside his master after she along with Thok disappeared after fellow Emperor ' s Hand Mara Jade reported Lyn ' s treachery . After Lyn was killed , he was back where he started , save for Gorc no longer being with him . His size alone made Thok a formidable opponent in hand - to - hand combat . Thok ' s fighting abilities inspired terror and awe in his opponents with his seemingly random fury . By the time his opponents realized that the chaotic frenzy was actually a precisely timed and executed combination , it was too late . Thok was also the brother of Gorc . When Imperial slavers came to Gamorr , Thok sold out his brother so that he would not be taken into captivity . He was also one of nine Gamorrean guards on duty in Jabba ' s Palace in 4 ABY . He was an interior guard , and served alongside Thug . He was later killed by Luke Skywalker during the Battle of the Great Pit of Carkoon , after he attempted to ambush Luke with a blaster . In his dying moments , he saw Scumbo looking down at him . Although he feared that he was going to be killed by his hated nemesis , Scumbo instead honored the dying Gamorrean by squealing the Gamorrean war cry as the " Khetanna " exploded around them . Behind the scenes . Thok was one of the Gamorrean guards in . He was given some backstory in the Dark Forces Saga and also appeared in the fighting game " " , which revealed his Force abilities . He was eventually given an extensive history in part 2 of , which also retconned his homeworld as being Pzob instead of Gamorr , which Dark Side had implied . In addition , although his role in Gorc becoming a sithspawn was retained , the exact circumstances were different : In Dark Side Forces , he sold him out to prevent his going into slavery when Imperial slavers arrived on the planet , but in Barely Tolerable , he instead squealed on the Imperials on Gorc ' s Force Potential when they were arrested for a violent brawl at Mos Eisley in an attempt to save their hide .
