He had many underlings , though some of them wished to work against Jabba , mismanaging his books and seeking to leave his employ . Biography . Servant to Jabba . Mosep Binneed was a Nimbanel alive during the time of the Galactic Civil War . Nimbanese were known to be adept bureaucrats , and held a particular innate interest in numbers and accounting ; they were also known to almost exclusively serve members of the Hutt species as aides and retainers for centuries before Mosep Binneed ' s birth , with great loyalty . Mosep , as he was commonly referred to , was no exception , becoming an accountant himself . He eventually entered the service of Jabba Desilijic Tiure , a prominent Hutt crime lord who operated primarily out of Tatooine and Nal Hutta . Binneed was based out of Mos Eisley , Tatooine ' s main spaceport , along with a slew of other accountants , including a number of other Nimbanese . Binneed and the other Nimbanese wore similar , flat red and tan uniforms , which made it difficult for members of most other species to distinguish them from each other . Binneed and his comrades served under the Nimbanel Lhojugg , who was in charge of the Desilijic Complex , Jabba ' s town house . Binneed sometimes frequented Chalmun ' s Spaceport Cantina in Mos Eisley ; he was there in 0 BBY , sitting with former Force Adept Leesub Sirln , when Jedi Master Obi - Wan Kenobi used a lightsaber to dismember Aqualish thug Ponda Baba . Such weapons being so rare during the Great Jedi Purge , the crowd that had assembled in the cantina was shocked by the commotion and collectively turned to see Kenobi depart the cantina . Binneed later witnessed Solo shoot Greedo , walking behind the smuggler as Solo got up to leave . He quickly took a seat with Zutton to stay out of Solo ' s way . . He later left the cantina , encountering landspeeder trader Wioslea on his travels . The Vuvrian had just bought an X - 34 landspeeder , and Binneed spent some time examining it . Leading accountant . Around the same time , Lhojugg met his demise after failing to retrieve CZ - 3 , a CZ - series communications / business droid containing important information of Jabba Desilijic Tiure ' s ; the Hutt fed his head accountant to a number of Kayven whistler s . Binneed took over as Jabba ' s main accountant , and had numerous underling accountants and assistants . Binneed took his duty seriously , unlike many of his peers who worked against Jabba , and he had many inside contacts in rival organizations to Jabba . These contacts helped the Nimbanel disrupt the cash flow of his employer ' s competitors , but despite this good work , Mosep Binneed was constantly fearful for his life ; he knew that a single mistake would be enough to prompt the Hutt — who was known to dismiss and kill employees for the most trivial of errors — to ensure the Nimbanel perished in the same vein as his predecessor . Binneed had a number of other accountants under his command . The intelligent cliffborer worm Loje Nella was an assistant to the Nimbanel , though she did so very reluctantly and despised Jabba , to the extent that she purposefully mismanaged the Hutt ' s finances so as to inconvenience him and obstruct his criminal ventures . Another one of Binneed ' s reluctant assistants was the Ishi Tib Shasa Tiel ; a former accountant for SoroSuub , she had been blackmailed into working for Jabba , so hated her job and longed for a means of leaving it . Gailid was also Binneed ' s assistant , though also acted as a tax collector . He was more content with his work than some of his peers , enjoying spending time with Klatooinian mechanic Barada . Jabba also employed a number of other accountants at the same time , including the competent Harc Seff and the traitorous Tessek . In 4 ABY , Jabba perished during the Battle of the Great Pit of Carkoon , along with many of his underlings . His immense desert citadel was taken over by the B ' omarr monks who built it , and much of the Hutt ' s wealth which Binneed had managed was stolen by the surviving employees , many of whom went on to work for his rivals . Personality and traits . Mosep Binneed was a hard and loyal worker , like most of his fellow Nimbanese . He had many inside contacts in rival organizations and he used them to further his employer ' s means . Unlike many of Jabba ' s accountants — who either hated their job and wanted to leave , harbored an intense hatred for the Hutt and attempted to disrupt his criminal operations , or helped the authorities work against him — he did his best , but he was realistic and knew that this wouldn ' t always be enough . He recognized that if he made a mistake he would not get another opportunity to make a second . Behind the scenes . Binneed first appeared during " Star Wars : A New Hope " . He can be seen briefly in the Mos Eisley Cantina , ( at 49 : 08 on the SE DVD ) , wearing a red jumpsuit and sporting white facial hair and matching white topknot , sitting at a table with Zutton as Solo leaves the cantina . He can then later be seen behind Luke ' s landspeeder at 50 : 14 SE DVD . Mosep later appeared in " Star Wars : Return of the Jedi " sporting a black and white Jedi - like ensemble . The character who eventually became Mosep Binneed was created for in 1977 . He resembled a , and during shooting wore a red uniform similar to that worn by Imperial officers in other scenes of the film . Known during production as either " Walrus , " " Ming , " or " Mingo , " he appears briefly in the background of the Mos Eisley Cantina and in the streets of Mos Eisley . For " A New Hope " , the character of Jabba was going to feature in a scene where Han Solo confronts him in Docking Bay 94 . Jabba was to be a " large , repulsive " creature , and in the original shoot of the scene , Declan Mulholland portrayed Jabba as a large human wearing furs . Because of the constraints of realizing Jabba ' s desired appearance at the time , the scene was never released in the final version of the film . In the Marvel adaptation of the film , " " , the scene was included , but the likeness of the " Walrus " character was used instead of Jabba . This portrayal of Jabba was later used in " " [ " sic " ] and " " . There has been much fan speculation about Jabba ' s Nimbanel appearance in " What Ever Happened to Jabba the Hut ? " [ " sic " ] and " In Mortal Combat " . A popular fan theory was that the Jabba in these issues was in fact Mosep masquerading as his master ; considering the active physical role " Jabba " plays in issue 28 , the story would , according to the theorists , make more sense with Mosep ( or even more likely Lhojugg ) rather than the relatively immobile Jabba . Some fans also suggested that Mosep / Lhojugg used the alias of " Jabba the Hut " — Hutt was originally spelled with a single T until 1980 — and that other mentions of Jabba using the " Hut " spelling are actually references to Mosep / Lhojugg . " Star Wars " author Abel G . Peña has acknowledged the theory on the StarWars . com message boards , stating that it make sense and would surely be made an official retcon in time . The " Star Wars " Databank stated that the events in " What Ever Happened to Jabba the Hut ? " [ " sic " ] may have happened in some shape or form , but not how they are presented in the comic . At the time of this speculation , Mosep was identified by his Decipher image . That particular image is however now attributed to Tawss Khaa . The novel " Star Wars : Kenobi " by John Jackson Miller establishes that Mosep would sometimes travel under Jabba ' s name , representing his interests , indicating that the Jabba from the Marvel comics may indeed have been Mosep . This was finally confirmed by Miller in the article " Red Five " in " Star Wars Insider 149 " , making the connection between the Marvel comics and Mosep official . The identification of Binneed and another Nimbanel , Tawss Khaa , has fluctuated over the years , with both of the " A New Hope " Nimbanese having been identified as Binneed in official sources . For instance , in their earliest identifications , the Decipher ' s Star Wars Customizable Card Game in 1996 , Khaa is the white - haired Nimbanel , while Mosep is the red - haired one . The surname " Binneed " was applied to the character in 2003 with " Ultimate Alien Anthology " , a book from Wizards of the Coast . The association of the name Mosep with the red - haired Lutrillian was repeated in Pablo Hidalgo ' s article " , " published on the StarWars . com website in 2008 . However , in " Rogues Gallery , " an article by Leland Chee published in " Star Wars Insider 130 " in 2011 , Mosep Binneed is now identified as the white - haired Nimbanel , while Tawss Khaa is the red - haired one . In 1983 , established that Hutts were large , slug - like creatures , making the " Walrus " character depiction incorrect . Later , in 1995 , his alien design was identified in " " as a Nimbanel . A character by the name of " Mosep " was also introduced ; since the Nimbanel design had previously been used for Hutts , it was decided to make Mosep Jabba ' s henchman , and the Nimbanese a species of Hutt servants . In 1998 , Decipher , Inc . released a " Star Wars " Customizable Card Game card of Mosep , establishing that the Nimbanel in " A New Hope " was the same one as described in " Galaxy Guide 12 " . " Ultimate Alien Anthology " later provided him with a surname , " Binneed . " In the , set a short time before " A New Hope " , a Nimbanel wearing similar attire to Mosep can be seen in Jabba ' s Court . It is possible that this character is Mosep , though may also be Lhojugg , his predecessor as Jabba ' s main accountant , as Lhojugg ' s creator , Pablo Hidalgo , illustrated the webstrip .
