Behind the scenes
Caf Treblanc first appeared as an uncredited Rebel extra seen during the award ceremony honoring the Heroes of Yavin at the end of 1977's Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope film.[1] In June 2012, the character was named by "Rogues Gallery," a feature published in Star Wars Insider 133.[3] At least one other character in the Star Wars universe shared Treblanc's surname. Romeo Treblanc was the name given via Hyperspace's "What's The Story?" feature to a character seen in the prequel trilogy films Star Wars: Episode I The Phantom Menace and Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith, respectively.[5] However, it has not been canonically established if the two characters had any relation with each other.
