Hobin Carsamba

Hobin Carsamba was a humanoid scavenger who made a living on the desert planet Jakku. Around thirty years after the Battle of Endor, Carsamba was in Niima Outpost on Jakku and queued to deal with the junk dealer Unkar Plutt, who ran the outpost. He took the positioned of another humanoid scavenger in the line behind the pet salesman and storyteller Bobbajo while the scavenger Rey dealt with Plutt. Carsamba was in Niima again the next day, and while heading out toward the desert passed Rey as she arrived with the astromech droid BB-8 on her speeder. While in Niima, Carsamba wore brown clothing and a helmet and carried a large back-mounted yellow cylinder.
