Jenny was a Human female B-Girl who was frequently seen at Chalmun's Spaceport Cantina in Mos Eisley attempting to hitch up with handsome pilots. She was seen flirting with Han Solo at the cantina shortly before Solo was hired by Obi-Wan Kenobi, leading Solo to dismiss her so he could do business.[1]
Behind the scenes[]
Jenny was named after the actress who portrayed her in A New Hope, Jenny Cresswell. Her character was intended to be seen flirting with Han Solo, but their scene together didn't make the final cut of the film. She can still be seen talking to a Rodian in the Mos Eisley Cantina in widescreen releases of the film (for example, at the far left of the shot at 45:05 of the Special Edition DVD).[2]
In the novelization of the film, Han's companion is a humanoid woman described as having "a wide, if inhuman, grin."[3]
