The Movies

A swarthy-faced humanoid with a single slit-pupilled eye, a thirsty representative of this particular cyclopean species was present in the Mos Eisley Cantina that fateful day Luke Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi secured passage off Tatooine .

Expanded Universe

Abyssin s are a species of intelligent bipeds native to the planet Byss, in the binary Byss and Abyss system. Their homeworld is a harsh desert planet, and Abyssins have evolved to survive in the extremes.

Behind the Scenes

The Abyssin seen in the Mos Eisley Cantina in A New Hope was realized as a slip-on mask designed by Laine Liska. The mask had very limited articulation, including an opening and closing eye. Later sources identified this Abyssin as Myo.
