Jorman Thoad
- "Remember Jorman Thoad when you have other luxury yachts to trade for modest but dependable crafts!"
- ―Jorman Thoad
Jorman Thoad was a Human male who ran a starship dealership on the Mid Rim planet Centares. By 0 ABY, Thoad claimed to be Centares' largest dealer in used spacecraft, and often referred customers to a cousin who dealt droids in Centares' Old Town. That year, Thoad made a rather lucrative trade when he met two Rebel leaders, Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa, who were looking to offload a flashy yacht while evading the Empire. Thoad took the yacht in exchange for a less-expensive scout craft, which carried with it a much lower profile. A passing remark Thoad made during the exchange turned the Rebels' attention to an Imperial blockade of the Rebel-held Yavin system, sending them scurrying back to their base on Yavin 4.[1]
