Jesba-Be Issa was an Aki-Aki resident of the planet Pasaana who acted as a tribal guardian of communally raised children.[1] By 35 ABY,[2] Issa was an adult and attended the Festival of the Ancestors in the Forbidden Valley. When a group of Resistance agents arrived at the festival searching for a Sith wayfinder, they passed directly by Issa as the guardian danced among a large group of other Aki-Aki.[3]
The tribal guardian then stopped dancing and stood with fellow guardian Fadda-Rarb Arda by some of the festival's tents while holding an Aki-Aki infant. As Issa held up the infant and rocked it in the air, the Resistance agents passed by once again.[3] Issa wore a turquoise flowing kaftan that allowed for unimpeded dancing with a monocot-fiber hood suitable for a warm sun. The Aki-Aki also wore a rattling purple pallie-pit necklace and a second blue necklace with golden beads. Issa had gray skin and brown eyes.[1]

- ↑ Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker: The Visual Dictionary states that the events of Star Wars: Episode IX The Rise of Skywalker occur thirty five years after the Battle of Yavin. As Star Wars: Galactic Atlas dates the Battle of Yavin to 0 BBY, the events of The Rise of Skywalker, which includes Issa's appearance, must occur in 35 ABY.
