- "What the…? There's enough energy in here to power all of Mos Eisley for a month!."
"Well, now I know how much to charge for it, ha ha ha!" - ―The vendor and Kitster Banai discuss the energy capsule
A human vendor worked in a settlement on the desert[2] planet[3] Tatooine and knew Kitster Banai, who had escaped enslavement on the world with the Rodian Wald.[2] Between 3 ABY and 4 ABY,[1] the vendor recognized a hooded Banai and Wald approaching him and warned them that they were taking a risk by returning. Banai then revealed that he wished to sell one of several energy capsules which, upon inspection, the vendor was shocked to discover held enough energy to power all of[2] the city[3] Mos Eisley for a month.[2]
The vendor purchased the capsule but was then confronted by a trio of thieves who he told about Banai and the other capsules. The thieves then killed the vendor and took his capsule. The vendor had light skin, brown hair, and wore a brown jacket, a tan shirt, and a dirty gray bandana.[2]

The vendor appeared in the fiftieth issue of the 2020 comic-book series Star Wars: Darth Vader. The issue was written by Greg Pak, with the vendor illustrated by Adam Gorham, and published by Marvel Comics[2] on September 18, 2024.[4]
