This diminutive Anzellan droidsmith operates from the frozen world of Kijimi, where his technical expertise has made him an invaluable asset to the criminal underworld. Standing barely knee-high to most humanoids, the tiny alien compensates for his small stature with an enormous talent for droid modification and memory restoration. His workshop, hidden within Kijimi City’s labyrinthine streets, serves as a sanctuary for those seeking to alter their mechanical companions’ programming.

Working alongside the Spice Runners of Kijimi, this skilled craftsman has built a reputation for tackling impossible technical challenges that other mechanics refuse to attempt. His speciality lies in recovering lost or corrupted droid memories, a dangerous procedure that most consider irreversible. The Anzellan’s childlike appearance and enthusiastic demeanour mask a sharp intellect and decades of experience working with the galaxy’s most sophisticated artificial intelligences.

When Poe Dameron and his companions arrived seeking help with C-3PO’s memory banks, the droidsmith proved instrumental in their mission against the Final Order. His willingness to assist the Resistance demonstrated that even the smallest beings can play crucial roles in galactic conflicts. The character’s brief but memorable appearance showcased the rich diversity of alien life in the Star Wars universe, bringing both technical expertise and unexpected warmth to the film’s climactic storyline.

Voiced by Shirley Henderson, the character’s distinctive speech patterns and genuine affection for droids created an instantly memorable presence that resonated with audiences despite limited screen time.
