Jubnuk/Legends

Jubnuk was one of Jabba the Hutt's nine Gamorrean guards. He accompanied C-3PO and R2-D2 when they were sent to the boiler room in Jabba's Palace and stood behind them when they were interrogated. As C-3PO was in shock to see what Jabba's last protocol droids's fate was, Jubnuk stood there laughing. He then escorted C-3PO to his majesty's main audience chamber.

When Luke Skywalker grabbed a blaster from a fellow guard, in his loyalty to the Hutt and in an attempt to protect his master, Jubnuk ran at Luke as Jabba hit the Trapdoor button. When Jabba opened the trapdoor under Luke Skywalker and dropped him into the rancor's pit, Jubnuk fell in also.

As the gate opened, Jubnuk squealed in horror and faintly tried to climb back up the trapdoor's steep slide.

The rancor always hated Gamorreans and headed for him first. As his two fellow Gamorreans laughed at the poor hog, Jubnuk was bitten into, then chomped down by the rancor as Luke looked in surprise.

He was the last meal for the ill-fated rancor monster.

Behind the scenes
According to Jabba's Palace Pop-up Book, Jubnuk lives because he is later cut out of the stomach of the Rancor, due to the lucky talisman he found inside the stomach. It seems unlikely that this is canon.
