- "There are millions of Stennes…but a rare few are Stennes Shifters. We are the privileged, for we can shade the eyes. We can shade your mind."
- ―Trinto Duaba
Trinto Duaba was a male Stennes Shifter from Stennaros who lived during the time of the Galactic Civil War. He was capable of blending in with large masses.
Biography[]
Trinto was one of many citizens of Tatooine who turned lawbreakers and other criminals over to Imperial authorities.[1] He was at Chalmun's Spaceport Cantina in Mos Eisley on the fateful day that Han Solo, Greedo, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Luke Skywalker, and Chewbacca were there.[3] Duaba was sitting next to Momaw Nadon.
Behind the scenes[]
Duaba was known as "Terminal Man" during the production of A New Hope. A US-based extra wore the mask, which was made by Rick Baker[4] prior to Star Wars, as his interpretation of the Frankenstein monster.[5]
In the later canon continuity, Salo Gardner portrayed Trinto Duaba in Star Wars: Episode VII The Force Awakens.[4]
The character was made into a Hasbro action figure in 2009, as a two-pack with Dice Ibegon. The figure featured cybernetics on the sides of his head.
