Rintel Aren

Rintel Aren was a Weequay male pilot who served as a guard to the Hutt crime lord Jabba Desilijic Tiure. In 4 ABY, he was one of five guards assigned to accompany a trio of Jabba's prisoners on board a Bantha-II cargo skiff to the Great Pit of Carkoon, where the prisoners would be fed to a sarlacc. Upon reaching the pit, the prisoner Luke Skywalker used a Jedi mind trick to make Aren remove his iron manacles after the pilot and fellow guard Pagetti Rook selected Skywalker to be the first prisoner to be executed.

After Jabba ordered Rook to push Skywalker into the pit, the Jedi leapt back onto the skiff and attacked the guards with a lightsaber. After the Jedi killed Rook, Aren became enraged and attacked him with an ax, but Skywalker dodged the blow and struck the Weequay with the lightsaber, sending him plunging into the sarlacc's maw.
