De Star Wars Saga zit vol met erg vreemde figuren, maar sommige daarvan zijn prominent in de films aanwezig en bijna legendarisch te noemen. Maar weinig mensen weten wie ze zijn en wat hun achtergrond is, en dankzij de kracht van het Internet slaat bij sommige fans de fantasie op hol. De website Topless Robot heeft een verlossende top tien gemaakt, en ik was op zijn zachts gezegd erg verbaasd.

10) Malakili, The Rancor Keeper

Let's get this straight right off the bat: The majority of Star Wars characters never got a name. That's why the toys were released with generic-yet-descriptive names like "Squid Head" and "Pruneface." No one bothered to name them because they were really just set dressing that walked erect. Malakili falls into that category, as his toy was released as "Rancor Keeper" and his only role in the film was to cry when Luke killed the Rancor. If you didn't look in the credits, you would barely know he was the Rancor Keeper. Turns out that Malakili was once a circus performer who was sold to Jabba the Hutt after a circus-related accident, and then plotted to betray his boss to a rival mobster because Jabba planned to pit his rancor against a dragon who could kill it. After Jabba's death, he opened a restaurant. Totally serious.
