Biography
Edit
The daughter of an Askaji tribal chief, Yarna married Nautag d'al' Gargan. They had many children together. While raising her cubs with Nautag on Askaj around 3 ABY, they were taken as slaves to Tatooine, and were then bought by Jabba. Nautag was killed by Jabba's rancor while trying to defend them. Although she detested her boss and owner, she was nonetheless close friends with some of the various patrons of the palace.
She claimed that her name "Yarna" translated to Basic as "pretty". However, her beauty was often hidden by the wart makeup Jabba forced her to wear, saying that it reminded him of his "mother", or in this case, Zorba Desilijic Tiure. Also, the normally slender woman was made to store as much water as possible in order to increase her girth, thus furthering the resemblance to a Hutt - weight she would eventually lose again after Jabba's death.
After escaping Jabba's palace and rescuing her cubs with Doallyn, they became traders. She occasionally danced to earn extra credits—in fact, she even danced the Dance of the Seventy Violet Veils at the wedding of Han Solo and Leia where she would be spotted by a designer and became the model for his jeweled brassieres. After that Doallyn managed her career as a model. [3]
She had two daughters, named Luka and Leia after Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa, and a son named Nautag, after his father. [4] Yarna's children became a jizz swing band, and together they toured the Galaxy. [5]
Behind the scenes
Edit
Yarna d'al' Gargan was portrayed by the late Claire Davenport in Return of the Jedi.
Kenner was considered selling this character as an action figure, but thought it would be inappropriate to have a six breasted toy on the shelves. It would later be sold by Hasbro in 2008.
