Chalmun was the Wookiee proprietor of the most popular spacer's bar in Mos Eisley, Tatooine, the Mos Eisley cantina. He was a distant relative of Chewbacca. He was a large tan-and-gray Wookiee, with a scar running from his left shoulder across the left side of his chest. This was a remnant of his days as a street thug.

[edit] Biography
Chalmun spent his early years as a con artist, swindling tourists in the casinos of Ord Mantell.[1]A few years later, he purchased the Mos Eisley cantina from the Vriichon brothers, who had been running an illegal spice den on the site and burying bodies in the basement.[2]
Since coming to own the cantina, he has distanced himself from the kinds of situations that had provoked the violence he so enjoyed in his youth, however he often provided his hospitality to beings associated with the Hutts and retired celebrity podracers.
Despite this, Chalmun was rarely seen in the main cantina instead spending the majority of the time in his back office.[1] Many who saw the Wookiee there mistook him for a bouncer, owing both to his formidable appearance and his tendency to physically remove anyone who caused trouble. Of course, owing to his history, he also admired people who caused trouble with style, which also meant that making friends with him was a tightrope walk.
Chalmun was still the owner of the cantina during the time it was visited by Luke Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Han Solo, and Chewbacca (a distant relative of his[3]) shortly before the Battle of Yavin.
