"Are you kidding me? Every kid from here to Coruscant wants to get their hands on a genuine squill hide jacket! You can't go wrong with squill! That's what I always say - you just can't go wrong! So, you interested or what?"
―A commoner, to a spacer[1]

A commoner inhabited Anchorhead during the time of the Galactic Civil War.

Biography

"Just sign this contract here... Good, and here... excellent! All you need to do is to go out here and kill the little buggers! Once you have them down to a manageable level, we'll move in and take over - er - I mean... help guide your business endeavours."
―A commoner, to a spacer[1]

After the Battle of Yavin, the commoner resided in Anchorhead on Tatooine. During their time in Anchorhead, the commoner became involved with the squill industry.[1] In 1 ABY,[2] the commoner employed the help of a spacer to eliminate squill in their respective lair and collect squill hide. Pretending that squill hide jackets were very popular in order to encourage the spacer, the commoner avoided to mention that squills were very dangerous creatures.[1]

The commoner was a non-player character in the 2003 video game Star Wars Galaxies, a massively multiplayer online roleplaying game developed by Sony Online Entertainment and published by LucasArts,[1] prior to its closure on December 15, 2011.[3] The commoner was added to the game with the "Publish 1" update, released on August 3, 2003.[4]

In the game, players could enter a dialogue with the commoner concerning the squill industry. After agreeing to help the commoner, players would be given a waypoint to the squill cave on Tatooine. However, aside from receiving the waypoint, players were not required to fulfill any specific objective. Speaking to the commoner simply allowed players to discover the location.[1]

  2. ↑ The opening crawl of Star Wars Galaxies: An Empire Divided dates the game to after the events of Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope, and additionally, Serji-X Arrogantus, who died in Star Wars (1977) 10—the events of which The New Essential Chronology dates to 0 ABY—appears in the game. Therefore, at least a portion of Star Wars Galaxies must be set in that year. Furthermore, in the game Ruwan Tokai references the destruction of the Death Star as having occurred one year earlier, and Strongholds of Resistance also places the events of Galaxies' Chapter 9: "The Fury of Exar Kun" in 1 ABY. Lastly, while Chapter 11: "The Battle of Echo Base" features the Battle of Hoth—dated to 3 ABY by The New Essential Chronology—the developers have stated that the portrayal of that battle in the game is intentionally anachronistic. Therefore, the events of Star Wars Galaxies must span from 0 ABY to around 1 ABY.
