Unidentified villager (Valco)

This article is non-canon within the canon continuity. This article covers a subject from a Star Wars: Visions story that Lucasfilm declared is set in an alternate history within a reimagined galaxy.

The title of this article is conjectural. Although this article is based on official non-canon information, the actual name of this subject is pure conjecture.

A human villager lived in Meevai Village on the planet Keelia. Between 19 BBY and 1 BBY, he served drinks to the Jedi Padawan F and the explorer Valco at the wedding of the villagers Asu and Haru. The villager then spoke to them about raiders who had plundered the village's resources and would be taking Haru as a hostage the next morning. The villager sipped from his bottle and groaned that his drink was not strong enough, resulting in another villager grabbing him and apologizing to Valco and F. The next day, the villager gathered outside with other Meevai Village residents before the raiders arrived, and after F and Valco defeated them, he carried logs with Valco.

Biography

A human was a resident of Meevai Village on the planet^[1] Keelia.^[3] Between 19 BBY and 1 BBY,^[4] a group of raiders led by Lord Izuma formed an army using repurposed battle droids left behind on Keelia by the Confederacy of Independent Systems. Using the army, they took all of the village's resources and demanded the village chief as a hostage, although his daughter Haru volunteered to take his place. The night before Haru was to be taken, the villager attended her wedding to the villager Asu. At the wedding, the villager offered drinks to two travelers, the explorer Valco and the fugitive Jedi Padawan F. They both accepted and held out their cups as the villager smiled and poured their drinks from a bottle.^[1]

Valco asked the villager if Haru would be taken the next day, and the villager sighed and confirmed she would be.^[1] He^[2] sipped from his bottle and went on to tell Valco and F of the raiders using their droids to plunder the village's resources. After he mentioned their demand to have the village chief as collateral, Valco finished explaining the situation to F. The villager took a long sip from his bottle and groaned that the drink was not strong enough. Another villager then grabbed the villager and told him to stop, then apologized to the travelers, although Valco said^[1] he^[5] understood. While the other villager continued speaking with Valco, they let go of the villager.^[1]

The next morning, shortly before the raiders arrived to take Haru, the villager gathered outside with other members of the village, standing next to the one who had apologized for him the previous night. After the raiders arrived outside the village, they were defeated by F and Valco. Later, the villager and Valco both carried logs while F departed in^[1] her^[2] ship.^[1]

Behind the scenes

The villager first appeared in "The Village Bride," a non-canon short film released as part of the first volume of the Star Wars: Visions series. The animated short, produced by Kinema Citrus, was released on Disney+^[1] on September 22, 2021.^[6] Takayuki Nakatsukasa, Yuki Ominami, Yusuke Sasaki, Manami Hanawa, and Sayuri Sadaoka voiced villagers in the original Japanese.
