[edit] Biography
As a child, Wuher was an orphan whose sole training came from a bartending correspondence school. He was rejected by most people, and he witnessed the cold-blooded assassination of a Shi'ido by Aurra Sing in 32 BBY.
Later in life, Wuher was one of two bartenders, at Chalmun's Cantina. The other bartender that he shared the role with was Ackmena, a female Human. It was here that he developed a dislike toward droids. He claimed this was mainly due to the fact that they took up space in the Cantina and caused all kinds of trouble when they showed up, but in fact he admitted only to himself that droids were the only creatures he could look down upon.
As bartenders went, Wuher was a genius. His knowledge of chemicals was exceptional, particularly as it applied to what substances are toxic, or merely intoxicating, to alien species. He was an expert at mixing the proper substances together to provide the most pleasant neurochemical reactions in his patrons. His most popular drinks were Blue milk, Juri juice, and Sarlacc kicker.
Wuher earned occasional praise from Jabba Desilijic Tiure himself. Gruff and surly, his only real dream was to create the perfect drink for Jabba. He tried to make it by mixing all of Jabba's favorite drinks in perfect portions, with the help of some Rodian hormones from the body of the late bounty hunter, Greedo.
Oddly, the Prophetess claimed that Wuher was the reincarnated soul of Cedo Partu, the builder of the cantina building. Wuher never allowed the Prophetess into the cantina.
On the fateful day that Luke Skywalker met Han Solo, he had served Luke a glass of water. The fight between Doctor Cornelius Evazan, Ponda Baba, Luke Skywalker, and Obi-Wan Kenobi happened in front of his eyes. He also witnessed Han Solo kill Greedo on that very same day. Han gave him some credits to clean the mess, but not nearly enough for the damage caused by Obi-Wan and Solo combined.
Wuher knew Mirax Terrik well and developed a little "game" with her whereby he would point out to troublemakers that she was the daughter of Booster Terrik. They played this trick during the Bacta War, on an occasion when Corran Horn and Mirax visited the cantina on their way to Huff Darklighter's estate.
[edit] Behind the scenes
Wuher was portrayed by British actor Ted Burnett in A New Hope. However, his dialog was replaced by another actor's voice.
Wuher was only known as "The Bartender" at the time of the film's release. The Mos Eisley Cantina Adventure Set first identified the bartender as "Cedo Partu," but the name never stuck, and the character was later renamed as "Wuher."[2]
Pablo Hidalgo created a retcon in Star Wars Insider 91 to acknowledge the old name—establishing Cedo Partu as a separate character, and The Prophetess's claim that Wuher was the reincarnated soul of Cedo Partu.
