Unidentified Ithorian (Zallakesh spaceport)

This Ithorian had two hostile confrontations with Prince Coby at the Zallakesh spaceport.

Biography

In 15 BBY,^[2] while riding his beast of burden through the streets of the Zallakesh spaceport, this Ithorian was accidentally dismounted from it due to a collision with Prince Coby. Taking offense at this, the hot-tempered alien drew his blaster and began threatening Coby in an alien language. Shortly thereafter, the individual attempted to shoot down Coby's Blackhawk Destroyer as the boy attempted to pilot the out of control craft through the skies above the spaceport. As he took aim at the spacecraft, the Ithorian was tackled by spacecraft merchant "Honest" Tobar, causing his blaster to fire harmlessly into the sky.^[1]

Behind the scenes

While hand held blasters are rarely seen in the Star Wars: Droids: The Adventures of R2-D2 and C-3PO series, with even Stormtroopers being depicted as carrying Blaster staffs,^[3] this Ithorian seems to be an exception to the rule.^[1]

Unlike other members of his species, this Ithorian has a single mouth on the front of his eyestalk as opposed to two on the sides of his neck.^[1] In the Star Wars Canon a similar species called Ottegan,^[4] which did featured a single mouth,^[5] made its first appearance in the novel Lost Stars.^[4] The species was depicted as a genetic offshoot of the Ithorians.^[5]
