Biography[]
- "You'd really like a curried nuna-roll."
"I'd really—That's too spicy."
"Ask for the children's menu. Bye now." - ―Yarael Poof convinces Blaask to leave his post[1]

Yarael Poof (pictured) persuaded Blaask to leave his post after fifteen minutes of unsuccessful attempts.
TheTrandoshan Blaask resided on theplanetKwenn during theRepublic Era. He worked as abouncer at anightclub onVorah Key, one of theGem Cities of Kwenn, and was known byanother Trandoshan who was associated with thenightclub. Onenight[1] in33 BBY,[3] Blaask was stood outside the nightclub while theJedi MasterYarael Poof, who was visiting Kwenn on amission alongside the rest of theJedi Council, waited nearby for fellow MasterKi-Adi-Mundi to exitGutson's Pub across the street. The Trandoshan disapproved of Poof standing near the nightclub, with theJedi repeatedlyusingthe Force in an attempt topersuade Blaask into thinking otherwise.[1]
After fifteenminutes without success, Blaask once again demanded that the Jedi leave. Poof used the Force to convince the Trandoshan that he did want the Jedi around, which worked until the bouncer questioned why. The Jedi then persuaded Blaask that he did not need the answer to his question, calming the Trandoshan for a moment until he expressed confusion over what question Poof had referred to. Growing tired of dealing with Blaask, Poof once again used the Force, persuading the Trandoshan that he wanted acurried nuna-roll from a nearby eatery. Blaask was about to agree but claimed it was too spicy for him; the Jedi told him to ask for thechildren's menu and sent him on his way. Not long after, Blaask's fellow Trandoshan looked outside to ask after him and was vexed, but not surprised, to learn he had left his post toeat.[1]
Personality and traits[]
- "Where'd Blaask go?"
"He stepped away for a bite."
"Typical." - ―Another Trandoshan and Yarael Poof[1]
Blaask disliked Yarael Poof loitering near his nightclub, hissing as he demanded the Jedi Master to leave. The Jedi's use of the Force to persuade Blaask had limited success, with the Trandoshan continually questioning Poof. Although Blaask's eventual decision to leave his post was influenced by Poof, the Jedi believed that it was a choice he would likely have made regardless, suspecting that the Trandoshan had a history of doing so and that he actually was hungry. Indeed, when Blaask's fellow Trandoshan learned he had stepped away to eat, she claimed it was typical of him. Blaask hadgreen skin and was tall and imposing, though was shorter than Poof's height[1] of 2.64meters.[2]
