Sinker (smuggler)

Sinker was a male smuggler who was born around 6 ABY and worked with Jerf Huxley's Huxlings, a group that worked for Talon Karrde of the Smugglers' Alliance in the Outer Rim Territories. In 22 ABY, he participated in a confrontation at an Outer Rim cantina where Huxley attempted to extract a severance payment from Jedi Knight Mara Jade Skywalker after she terminated the business relationship with Huxley on Karrde's behalf. Huxley instructed Sinker to confiscate Jade Skywalker's lightsaber. Once he took the weapon, Jade Skywalker used the Force to ignite and move the lightsaber while he still held it, creating a distraction that allowed her husband, Luke Skywalker, to assist. After the two Jedi overcame Huxley, Sinker returned the lightsaber to Jade Skywalker.
