Pablo

Pablo was a male Rodian arms dealer who owned a pawnshop on the planet Nal Hutta during the Clone Wars. In 20 BBY, he encountered the bounty hunter Cad Bane, who sought to acquire weapons from his pawnshop after escaping from a high-security prison on the planet Coruscant. Pablo angered Bane by suggesting he had no room to be picky as he's clearly on the run. The Duros threatened the Rodian by holding a toothpick to his throat and suggested he kept his mouth shut before leaving. Pablo and his partner—with the help of the Hutt Clan—were able to track down Bane and his companions, the criminal mastermind Moralo Eval and Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi, who was disguised as the bounty hunter Rako Hardeen. Bane pushed "Hardeen" down, where he was caught by Gamorrean guards and taken captive.
==Biography==
Pablo was a male Rodian arms dealer who owned a well-stocked pawnshop based out of Bilbousa Bazaar on the planet Nal Hutta. The bounty hunter Cad Bane purchased from Pablo's stock on more than one occasion and was usually satisfied. In 20 BBY, the Duros hunter returned to Pablo's shop with fellow criminals Moralo Eval and Rako Hardeen, who unbeknownst to Bane was the Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi in disguise.
The trio, who had recently escaped from a high-security prison on the planet Coruscant, ditched their prison jumpsuits and selected items from Pablo's stock. While they were browsing the items, Pablo asked if there was anything the convicts desired, such as a new ship. Bane stated that Pablo's weapon selection was lousy and asked where he could find quality blasters, to which Pablo replied suggesting that they didn't have room to be picky as they were clearly on the run. Bane then threatened the Rodian and, holding a toothpick to his throat, recommended the Rodian keep his mouth shut and stating that he'd obtain weapons elsewhere. The bounty hunter then released Pablo, who fell to his knees and grabbed at his throat as his partner knelt beside him.
The disguised Jedi Master Kenobi couldn't help himself and offered Pablo's partner a silver credit ingot as an apology. The upset Twi'lek then smacked the ingot out of his hand, rejecting the offer. Pablo and his partner sought out the Hutt Clan to deal with the fugitives. A Nikto guard and two Gamorreans accompanied the distressed pair and found the group. Bane betrayed "Hardeen" and sprayed him with gas that blurred his vision, kicking him off of the ramp as they took off in their new ship. Surrounding the dazed criminal, Pablo and his partner confirmed the identity of the culprit and Kenobi was captured.
==Personality and traits==
Pablo was a shifty Rodian with green skin and blue eyes who spoke in a sycophantic whisper, being careful as to not upset potentially violent clients. He had connections to the Hutts that kept him alive on Nal Hutta, along with having a well-stocked shop. When threatened, Pablo always backed down, much to the consternation of his Twi'lek partner.
==Equipment==
Pablo wore a purple jacket over a white shirt with blue pants and brown shoes.
==Behind the scenes==
Pablo appeared in the Star Wars: The Clone Wars episode "Friends and Enemies" where he was performed by Jens Jacob Tychsen. Pablo was named after Pablo Hidalgo by Dave Filoni, the supervising director of Star Wars: The Clone Wars.
