A Human male mercenary was employed by Jabba the Hutt. He was a guard on the second skiff during the Battle of the Great Pit of Carkoon[1] in 4 ABY,[4] where he was kicked by Luke Skywalker into the Sarlacc and fell to his death. This guard wore a tan outfit, black helmet and carried a DL-18 Blaster Pistol.[3]
Behind the scenes

This character is on the receiving end of what is called a "Force kick", referring to a particularly poorly choreographed and shot fight sequence in Return of the Jedi, in which Mark Hamill/Luke Skywalker kicks the mercenary in the head, causing him to fall into the Sarlacc pit. The term jokingly suggests that Luke uses Force telekinesis to make the henchman fall, rather than the physical impact of the kick.
