Moota Engatoo was a male merchant who was active during the reign of the Galactic Empire.^[1] In the year 2 BBY,^[2] he was present at a remote outpost on the desert planet of Tatooine; and there he told young Padawan Ezra Bridger some information on where to go next in his search for Maul,^[1] the former Sith Lord who intended to kill Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi.^[3]

Behind the scenes

The character Moota Engatoo was intended to appear in "Twin Suns,"^[1] the twentieth episode of the animated television series Star Wars Rebels' third season.^[4] Engatoo was fully designed prior to being cut from the episode^[1] due to time constraints.^[5] In the early drafts of the episode, Ezra Bridger was supposed to go to Tatooine along with his master Kanan Jarrus and follow a path of clues left by Maul,^[6] including a visit to a remote outpost where Engatoo would give Bridger some information that would lead to Maul.^[1] The idea of Jarrus' involvement was ultimately abandoned^[5] and Bridger was guided by the holocron fragments instead of clues.^[3][6]
