"Item obtained following opportunistic beatdown by Prowling Thug 36 (Esoomian brawler Bumblethunk)."
―Twirm writes about Bumblethunk in the Smuggler's Guide[1]

Esoomians were a sentient species from the Esooma system in the Outer Rim Territories.

Biology and appearance

This species was distinguished by their green skin, red eyes, facial tendrils, and large build, towering over most other sentients.[2]

Species in the galaxy

Sometime after 229 BBY,[4] a member of this species served as a member of the Nihil.[2] The brawler Bumblethunk was an Esoomian who served the criminal Razzi Syndicate as "Prowling Thug 36."[1] By 10 BBY,[5] Bumblethunk had beatdown the gambler Landonis Calrissian after Calrissian took a swing at the Esoomian in order to impress a Trianii debutante. Submister Twirm of the Razzi Syndicate later recorded this event in the book that would become known as the Smuggler's Guide.[1]

Solo: A Star Wars Story depicts Beckett's death on Savareen and Solo: A Star Wars Story The Official Guide dates the events on Savareen in the film to nine years after the Proclamation of the New Order. Star Wars: Galactic Atlas dates the proclamation to 19 BBY, meaning Beckett's death must take place in 10 BBY.
