Bobbajo

Bobbajo was an individual who lived approximately thirty years after the battle above the moon of Endor between the Galactic Empire and the Alliance to Restore the Republic. At this time, this person had a white beard and spent time on Jakku, carrying a group of animals around in cages. The individual was of a bipedal species with yellow colored skin and long necks.

Behind the scenes
The individual was first shown in "Star Wars: Force for Change - A Message from J.J. Abrams", a video released on YouTube in 2014 in which J.J. Abrams introduced the charity campaign Star Wars: A Force for Change. The video was filmed on the set of Star Wars: Episode VII The Force Awakens and showed the creature walking behind Abrams while he talked, at one stage drawing the director's attention. Should the character appear in the final release of the film, it will have been one of the first new characters from Episode VII to have been shown.

A similar alien made a cameo appearance in Star Wars 1: Skywalker Strikes, the first issue of the Marvel comic book series Star Wars, in a scene where Luke Skywalker discovers a cage filled with Imperial slaves.
