Tork was a bouncer who worked at Chalmun's Spaceport Cantina in Mos Eisley on Tatooine, circa 0 ABY. He often worked with Ackmena and her assistant.
As a bouncer, his job was to eject intoxicated customers who were causing trouble, or simply unwilling to leave after the bar was closed down. He was helped in this by his fierce appearance and his intimidating size (well over two meters tall).
Though gruff, he was a close friend of Ackmena. Indeed, he, Ackmena, and Ackmena's assistant were almost like a family.
Behind the scenes
Tork was played by actor Mickey Morton in The Star Wars Holiday Special.[2]
