Star Wars: 10 Side Characters Who Totally Stole Their Scenes

10. Garindan - Star Wars (1977)

Garindan is one of the earliest examples of Lucasfilm's incredible facility with character design, making a creature we only see for mere seconds seamlessly integral to the plot.

All additional canon aside, let's take a look at this creature. It follows Han, Luke, and Ben from the Mos Eisley Cantina immediately after their original meeting, As an audience, we do not understand a single word it says, or even learn its name. But we immediately know it is up to no good, only through it's body language and appearance (the black cloak is a dead giveaway).

After less than a minute of screen time, we never see Garindan again. Despite this, it is this sort of character who brings life to a world, and helps validate Ben's description of Mos Eisley. A wretched hive of scum and villainy indeed.
