Bron Burs was a member of a species with horny spines on the back of its face and two pointed protrusions surrounding a mouth. Hailing from the southern part of[1] the planet[3] Nentan, he served as a commando[1] for the Alliance to Restore the Republic[2] during the Galactic Civil War against the Galactic Empire before eventually leaving the profession. Burs was a crack shot who liked to be on his own and an on-and-off partner of Debnoli,[1] an expert marksman.[4] By the time Bron Burs left the commando profession, he was covered with ugly scars. He relied on his intuition to survive. Burs also possessed a degree of Force-attunement. He had white eyes and green skin.[1]
Behind the scenes[]
Bron Burs's origins date back to the production stages of the 1983 film Star Wars: Episode VI Return of the Jedi. A number of alien maquettes were designed for the sequences in Jabba the Hutt's desert palace. Among those scrapped before the film's release was a maquette described as "a possible rhino/elephant head."[5] In 1998, the Decipher Star Wars Customizable Card Game's Special Edition Limited expansion set released a card that named the alien as Bron Burs, thus bringing the maquette into Star Wars Legends canon.[1]
