The male Chagrian Charko led the criminal gang known as the Sarlaccs around eleven years before the Battle of Yavin . He and his gang operated on the planet Gorse , where they preyed upon pedestrians who passed through the Industrial sector of Gorse City . On three separate occasions Charko attempted to rob Kanan Jarrus , a Jedi - in - hiding working as a pilot for a local mining called Moonglow Polychemical . All three attempts occurred in an area known as Bogan Boulevard and were unsuccessful . On the third try Charko had one of his horns broken by the pilot , whom he swore he vengeance against for the incident . When Charko next saw Jarrus , the pilot was eating in a diner on Bogan Boulevard . The Chagrian called out challenges to Jarrus from the establishments door ; however , he dared not enter the diner for fear of angering its Besalisk owner Drakka . Jarrus mostly ignored Charko ' s taunts , and the criminal fled once Drakka made a move to arm himself . After moving away from the diner , Charko and at least eight of his Sarlaccs met with the Twi ' lek pilot Hera Syndulla , who hired them for 100 credits to create a distraction so she could break into Moonglow Polychemical ' s offices and rescue the demolitions expert Skelly , who was being held prisoner there . After receiving half their payment up front , the Sarlaccs activated the entry buzzer on the Moonglow compound and then began attempting to steal a number of the company ' s hovervan s . The buzzer and thievery drew the attention of Moonglow ' s head of security , Gord Grallik , who rush from the compound with several of his men to stop the gang . With all of the security distracted , Hera was able to sneak into the Moonglow compound and free Skelly , who then fled . The Sarlaccs also fled the scene soon after being pursued by Grallik and his men . Once they had lost the Moonglow employees , Charko and six of his men met up with Syndulla for payment in an alley by Philo ' s Fueling Station , a cantina closed for repairs . Instead of accepting fifty more credits though , Charko decided to simply rob Syndulla for everything she had on her . Before the Chagrian had a chance to attack his former employer , Jarrus interrupted the meeting and challenged Charko , to which the Sarlaccs gladly responded by drawing their weapons . Taking advantage of the distraction , Syndulla span and kicked Charko , causing him to fall and drop his credits . The Twi ' lek then shot one of the Sarlaccs and escape up a nearby set of scaffolding as Jarrus attacked the remaining gang members . Back on his feet , Charko attempted to knock down the scaffolding Syndulla was climbing on . As the scaffolding began to collapse , Jarrus threw himself and Charko through a window into the Cantina the scaffolding had been up against . Inside the empty building , Charko and Jarrus exchanged blows , but the pilot proved superior in combat and was able to kick the Chagrian through another window , after which the criminal did not get up again . Personality and traits . Despite acting tough and threatening Jarrus , Charko was too afraid of Drakka to enter the Besalisk ' s diner . He never traveled anywhere without at least half a dozen members of his gang , although Jarrus still managed to break his horn during one altercation and later defeated him in Philo ' s Fueling Station . Both Jarrus and Drakka considered Charko an idiot , with the Jedi - in - hiding also considering the description of a sarlacc — a ravenous monster which consisted of little more than a mouth — to also be an appropriate description of the Chagrian . Charko stood two meter s tall . Behind the scenes . Charko first appeared in " A New Dawn " , a novel by John Jackson Miller released in 2014 .
