Nysad was one of Jabba the Hutt's many Kajain'sa'Nikto guards and servants. He was aboard the Khetanna at the Great Pit of Carkoon when Luke Skywalker was to be executed.

BiographyEdit

He erupted from some cellar doors leading onto the deck, to find the lightsaber wielding Skywalker right in front of him. Nysad fired off two shots, both of which Skywalker deflected. He was killed by the deflected shots.

Behind the scenesEdit

Certain production photos actually show Nysad on set within Jabba's court room standing with Wooof, Geezum and Giran indicating that these three may in fact be present when Han Solo, Luke Skywalker and Chewbacca are sentenced to death.

Hasbro produced an action figure modeled after Nysad (named "Nikto Gunner") in 2009 as part of their Legacy series. The figure came packaged with an anti-personnel laser cannon, but the character never used such a weapon in the film (it was used by a different Nikto, Vizam).
