Wuher

"We don't serve their kind here!''" "What?" "''Your droids. They'll have to wait outside."

- Wuher and Luke Skywalker

Wuher was a human from Tatooine who worked as a bartender at the Mos Eisley Cantina.

Wuher was an orphan, but worked his way off Tatooine's streets by studying biochemistry such as that he was able to learn what types of drinks would go down well with various species. He strongly disliked droids and installed a droid detector in the cantina to keep them out. Despite this, Luke Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi were able to enter with the droids C-3PO and R2-D2, and upon noticing their presence, he ordered that they would have to wait outside.

Behind the scenes
Wuher was portrayed by British actor Ted Burnett in A New Hope. However, his dialog was dubbed with the voice of another actor.

The character was known only as "The Bartender" at the time of the film's release, but the Star Wars Legends source Mos Eisley Adventure Set gave the character's name as "Cedo Partu," but the character was later renamed as "Wuher." The new name was later confirmed as part of the canon continuity established on April 25, 2014 in the reference book Ultimate Star Wars.
