Jommillia

Jommillia was a fierce Wookee warrior on Yavin. Jommillia wore decorative helmet plumed and armed himself with a battleaxe and spear.

When Annikin Starkiller was carried to the Wookee settlement by Chewbacca, he awoke in a circle of curious aliens. Jommillia saw the interloper as a chance to fight, an activity the Wookee greatly enjoyed. He put on a show, intending to intimidate or provoke the young Jedi.

Annikin threatened and insulted the Wookee in a variety of tongues, though this was ineffective, as they had no languages in common. Finally, the Wookee threw his axe at Annikin, who, using the force, easily caught it.

A scuffle ensued, and Jommillia's spear is broken. Annikin is hit on the head. Before anyone can be seriously injured, Chewbacca's father, Auzituck, the chief of the Kaapauku (or Sawa) tribe intervenes and ends the fight, impressed by Annikin's prowess.

It was inclear what happened to Jommillia later, though the Wookees tribe joined in an attack on the Imperial Mavassi Outpost and manned starfighters in the attack on the space fortress.

Behind the scenes

 * This confrontation appears in a modified form in Episode VI, when the Ewoks threaten to sacrifice and eat the heroes. As in the rough draft here, a potential danger from a primitive tribe with a language barrier is averted in the last moment.
