Sindee was a female member of the furred Bimm species who lived during the early years of the Galactic Empire. A shrewd businesswoman, she operated a one-woman refueling station.[1] Around 15 BBY,[2] the droids C-3PO and R2-D2 ended up at her station after being ejected there from a ship bound for the world of Ord Gertoth, and she became their new master. Sindee taught R2-D2 to play dejarik, but a gambling addiction she harbored saw her lose both droids to the smuggler Zevel Hortine in a game of Liar's Cut.[1]
Behind the scenes[edit | edit source]
Sindee was first mentioned in Daniel Wallace's 2002 reference book The New Essential Guide to Characters as the nameless operator of a one-man refueling station.[3] Rich Handley and Abel G. Peña's 2013 StarWars.com blog article "The Droids Re-Animated" later identified Sindee by name.[1]
