Behind the scenesEdit

Chall Bekan was created by 1998's "Official Tournament Sealed Deck" of Decipher's Star Wars Customizable Card Game. His in-game abilities also included being "Force-attuned," a gameplay ability that is a step down from being "Force-sensitive" and significantly less than a Jedi/Dark Jedi character. In the 1977 film Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope, there were two Morseerians in Chalmun's Spaceport Cantina on Tatooine, one of whom was later identified as Nabrun Leids. The other Morseerian, however, has yet to be given a name. Although Chall Bekan's card reveals that he was working on Tatooine, no canon source has clarified whether he was the second Morseerian from the film. In 2008, Bekan was also given an entry in The Complete Star Wars Encyclopedia.

Chall Bekan's name is a anagram of Decipher game playtester Chuck Kallenbach.^[7]
