Doctor Evazan

Doctor Evazan, alias Roofoo and Doctor Cornelius, was a notorious outlaw and sociopath active during the Galactic Civil War. He considered himself a skilled surgeon, even though his patients were often maimed or killed after botched "operations." By the time of Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope, his activities had earned him a death sentence in at least twelve systems.

After Evazan escaped the Delrian prison plant, he moved to the Hinsasar system, where he obtained forged medical credentials and set himself up as a personal surgeon, specializing in cyborging. Once the medical and law enforcement authorities caught up with him, he disappeared to another system, where he began his operations anew. He would repeat this process on several worlds, with occasional forays into spice smuggling, slaving, assassination, and other crimes. As his criminal career continued, Evazan picked up a partner, the Aqualish thug Ponda Baba, when Baba rescued him from the bounty hunter Jodo Kast on Corellia. Evazan's scarred face was a souvenir from the same incident.

When he and Baba picked a fight with Luke Skywalker in the Mos Eisley Cantina, Obi-Wan Kenobi cut off the Aqualish's arm. The two criminals fled Mos Eisley soon afterwards. Evazan tried to replace his partner's arm with a cybernetic replacement. The surgery was not a success, and Baba swore revenge, pursuing him across the galaxy. Eventually, the two reconciled, and Evazan successfully used experimental mind-transferral technology to put his friend's mind into the body of an Andoan Senator with two working arms.

The role of Dr. Evazan was played in A New Hope by Alfie Curtis.
