Biography[]
Rycar Ryjerd was an elderly human of short stature from the planet Corellia. He worked as a weapons dealer, which often brought him through the Tatoo System. Rycar Ryjerd was present at Chalmun's Cantina in Mos Eisley on the planet Tatooine on the day that Luke Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi came in seeking a pilot to ferry them to the Alderaan system. Rycar sat at the bar next to Nabrun Leids. He turned his head when the bartender Wuher pointed out two droids named C-3PO and R2-D2, gruffly indicated that their kind would not be served in this establishment.
A short time later, Rycar was seen wandering through the streets of Mos Eisley when he had a chance encounter with an exceedingly tall alien with long stilted legs.
