Chokk first appeared in Star Wars: Episode I The Phantom Menace, which was released in 1999.[1] Chokk was later identified in Star Wars: Episode I The Visual Dictionary as one of Jabba Desilijic Tiure's bodyguards during the Boonta Eve Classic.[4] However, this depiction was contradicted by Star Wars Customizable Card Game and the Young Jedi Collectible Card Game, both of which were released in 2001.[2][3] While the respective Card Games used an image of a Klatooinian in a red tunic, the Visual Guide's uses an image portraying Chokk as an armed guard standing near the Hutt that is clearly contradictory to the Card Games' images.[4] He was portrayed by Bill Tlusty.
