Vedain was a Kajain'sa'Nikto enslaved by the Hutt crime lord Jabba the Hutt during the Galactic Civil War. In 4 ABY he was assigned to pilot the skiff carrying the condemned prisoners Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, and Chewbacca to their execution at the Great Pit of Carkoon.
When the prisoners broke free with the help of Lando Calrissian, Vedain grappled with Calrissian for control of the skiff before a shot from Jabba's sail barge knocked them both from the vehicle; unable to hold on, Vedain fell into the mouth of the Sarlacc. Played by stuntman Paul Weston, he appears in Return of the Jedi. This overview summarizes source material under CC BY-SA; see the Timeline for chronology.
