Saun Dann

Saun Dann, also known as Trader Saun Dann, was the friendly trader on Kashyyyk who helped Chewbacca's family evade the blockade of the planet by the Galactic Empire when he returned to visit them for Life Day sometime after the Battle of Yavin.

Family
Based on his own words, it is possible that he had a nephew serving in the Imperial Military. However, Saun Dann had shown himself to be good at telling lies from time to time, in order to get him or others out of trouble, so it is likely that his nephew, if he had one, wasn't even in the Imperial military. This is even more likely, given the fact that Saun Dann himself was a supporter of the Rebel Alliance, and would likely have a Rebel influence on his nephew.

Behind the scenes
Saun Dann was portrayed by actor Art Carney. Ironically, Art Carney died on November 9, 2003, which was only days away from the 25th anniversary of the Star Wars Holiday Special's only airing.
