Brock Starsher

Brock Starsher served as a guard for the Hutt crime lord Jabba Desilijic Tiure, working onboard one of his Bantha-II cargo skiffs at the Hutt's palace on the planet Tatooine. When Jabba sentenced his prisoners Han Solo, Luke Skywalker and Chewbacca to be fed to the sarlacc in the Great Pit of Carkoon, Starsher manned one of the two skiffs that made the journey to the pit. At the pit, Skywalker managed to free himself and attack the guards, boarding Starsher's skiff and knocking the guard into the maw of the sarlacc below.

Biography
In the year 4 ABY, the individual known as Brock Starsher worked as a guard for the Hutt crime lord Jabba Desilijic Tiure, serving onboard one of the Bantha-II cargo skiffs kept at Jabba's Palace on the planet Tatooine. When the Hutt declared that three of his prisoners&mdash;the smuggler Han Solo, his co-pilot Chewbacca and the Jedi Knight Luke Skywalker&mdash;were to be fed to the sarlacc that lived in the Pit of Carkoon, Starsher flew to the pit on board a skiff alongside several other guards including the Klatooinian Barada and the Skrilling Pote Snitkin. The prisoners were transported on a second skiff, while Jabba and many members of his court rode aboard the sail barge Khetanna.

Upon reaching the pit, the skiff carrying Starsher began circling around the sarlacc while the skiff carrying the prisoners positioned itself above the creature's maw. When Skywalker was pushed off his skiff to be executed, he flipped back onboard and caught his lightsaber, which had been launched to him by the astromech droid R2-D2 on board the sail barge. Skywalker and his allies then quickly defeated the guards aboard the skiff, at which point Starsher's skiff approached so that its occupants could attack.

Starsher stood ready at the very front of the skiff, so when Skywalker leapt to the front of the second skiff, the guard was the closest to him. At first Starsher did not engage the Jedi, but after Skywalker deflected a blaster bolt fired by one of the other guards, Starsher moved forward to attack. Skywalker slashed at Starsher with his lightsaber and caused the guard to tumble forward over the rail of the skiff into the sarlacc's pit below. Skywalker and his allies then defeated the rest of Jabba's men and killed the Hutt before escaping.

Personality and traits
Starsher had fair skin.

Equipment
Starsher wore a white jumpsuit with a black helmet, gloves and boots while on the skiff, and carried a Vibro-ax.
