Jess

Jess was a Human female singer at the palace of the crime lord Jabba the Hutt on the planet Tatooine. She often flirted with the crime lord's majordomo Bib Fortuna, though she wanted to leave the Hutt's service. Jess was present in the palace in 4 ABY when the droids C-3PO and R2-D2 arrived at the palace to deliver a hologram message from the Jedi Luke Skywalker. She later witnessed the Max Rebo Band's performance of "Jedi Rocks" and the enslaved dancer Oola's subsequent death at the hands of Jabba's rancor.

Right after Oola's death, Princess Leia Organa, disguised as the bounty hunter Boushh, arrived with the Wookiee Chewbacca and negotiated with Jabba over the price of him. When night fell that day, Jess slept on Jabba's dais as Organa made her way through the throne room to free Solo from carbonite. The next morning, Jess rested with the hunter J'Quille when Skywalker arrived to free his friends from Jabba. She then watched the Jedi and his friends be sentenced to death at the Great Pit of Carkoon.
