Always hustling[]

―Obi-Wan Kenobi and Teeka discuss the T-16 skyhopper toy^[1]

Teeka was aJawa^[2]trader^[3] who dwelt on thedesert planet Tatooine with her^[2]tribe during thereign of theGalactic Empire.^[1] Her clients consisted of those searching for scraps of technology or other junk,^[2] including the hermitObi-Wan Kenobi, who requested that she find him aT-16 skyhopper toy, as he wished to gift it to theyoungling Luke Skywalker.^[1] In9 BBY,^[4] Teeka and her tribe discovered aJedi starfighter in the wastes that the fugitiveJedi Nari had flown to Tatooine while fleeing from theInquisitorius. The Jawas stripped it for parts, salvaging aJedi utility belt among other things.^[1]

Teeka also stripped parts including the processor board from themoisture vaporator above thecave where Kenobi dwelt^[1] in theDune Sea on the edge of theJundland Wastes.^[5] She later returned to visit Kenobi in the cave with^[1] a floating scrap cart^[5] that carried the toy he sought as well as the parts from thestarfighter and vaporator. Arriving late, the Jawa found Kenobi sat eating when she arrived and greeted him by complaining about his smell.^[1]

When Kenobi asked after the toy, Teeka initially questioned if he would be able to pay for it and asked for one hundredcredits, claiming the toy was rare since it was no longer made. Kenobi haggled her down to seventy-five credits for the grimy and broken toy, after which the pair heard the vaporator begin sputtering above them.^[1]

Jedi = profit[]

"You need anything else? I have a whole new batch of salvage. Here, look… we stripped that Jedi's old ship. Found it out in the wastes."

―Teeka^[1]

Teeka questioned if the device was working and when Kenobi mentioned the stolen parts she offered him the processor board. The hermit revealed that he knew it was Teeka who had stolen it in the first place and requested that she at least clean the parts if she wished to sell them back to him. Teeka did not deny the theft but merely pointed out that cleaning would cost extra.^[1]

Taking the toy and board, Kenobi got out his credits, at which point the Jawa attempted to sell him thebelt from the starfighter, telling him about the fugitive Jedi and claiming that she hoped there would be more Jedi since they were good for business. Kenobi—who, unbeknown to Teeka, was himself a Jedi in hiding—told her that it was unlikely there would be any more since the Jedi were all but extinct. Returning the belt, he then paid the grumbling Teeka and bid her farewell, after which the Jawa left.^[1]

Personality and traits[]

"Should have brought some soap. I could smell you from Anchorhead."

―Teeka greets Kenobi^[1]

Teeka was a shrewd entrepreneur^[3] and a hustler who aimed to sell her wares at a mark-up to her clients^[2] using her deal-making prowess.^[3] What she lacked in height, she made up for in attitude,^[2] although she was still charming despite not always being honest.^[3] She particularly enjoyed looting salvage frompodracing events.^[6]

When dealing with Kenobi, she opened and ended her interaction with him by complaining about his smell, claiming she could have smelt him all the way from the settlement ofAnchorhead. She was also willing to steal from the hermit and sell him back his own possessions, not denying it when confronted and even refusing to clean the items before returning them. Teeka spoke inJawaese and hadorange eyes.^[1]
