I want you to know this is how weird Star Wars is: Ekim Ryelli is Lumas Etima’s master, and apparently is the guy on the right in the background when Threepio gets his “Die, Jedi Dogs!” moment. We see him kick a battle droid, and that’s funny, but that’s it. But he has a name! In the Legends continuity, he goes on to appear in a comic where he’s killed by a fallen member of the Jedi Exploration Corps—the Force-sensitive initiates who fail to become Padawans—who gets some evil Dark Side armor and becomes Malleus, Hammer of the Dark Side!!!

Still, the kick’s cool though.
