Cedo Partu

Cedo Partu was a pioneer and early settler of Mos Eisley,^[1] a town^[2] on the planet Tatooine.^[3] When Mos Eisley was a boomtown, Partu, a town leader, built a blockhouse that would serve as a fortification against Tusken Raiders,^[2] a sentient species indigenous to Tatooine.^[4] Generations later, the blockhouse would become Chalmun's Spaceport Cantina.^[1] Sariss, a Dark Jedi who went by the name^[5] Prophetess, once claimed that one of the cantina's bartenders,^[1] the Human male^[3] Wuher, was Partu's reincarnated soul.^[1]

Behind the scenes

The name "Cedo Partu" first appeared in 1989's Mos Eisley Cantina Adventure Set to identify the male bartender in Chalmun's Spaceport Cantina.^[6] In later sources, however, the bartender was instead identified as "Wuher."^[3] In December 2006,^[7] Pablo Hidalgo retroactively identified them as separate characters in "Refresher Reading," an article in issue 91 of the Star Wars Insider magazine.^[2]
