Talz are a very cool alien design anyway, but Muftak’s oversized presence in the cantina has made him a prime candidate for Star Wars’ greatest love: writing, in detail, complex and rich interwoven backstories for characters we could literally blink and miss in the movies. Case in point: Muftak is an orphaned pickpocket who works alongside the aforementioned Kabe, and, after getting involved in a series of increasing financial gambits with other aliens at the cantina, is actually the low-level spice smuggler who Han was meant to drop off his shipment for Jabba to, before he had to dump it. Ridiculous, but delightful.
