Klaatu was a male Kadas'sa'Nikto gambler who worked for Jabba the Hutt repairing the crime lord's skiffs. Klaatu also took enjoyment in Jabba's executions by rancor in Jabba's Palace.[1]
He was killed aboard Jabba's sail barge Khetanna on Tatooine during the failed execution of Luke Skywalker and his companions.[5]
Behind the scenes[edit | edit source]
During Jabba's Palace scenes, Klaatu was portrayed by English actor John Simpkin,[source?] while during the Great Pit of Carkoon battle, Klaatu was played by Corey Dee Williams, son of Billy Dee Williams, who played Lando Calrissian.[6] In Star Wars: Card Trader's, Galactic Underworld set, an image of[7] Yotts Oren[8] was used to depict Klaatu.[7]
