Annileen Calwell, previously known as Thaney and affectionately called Annie, was a Human female merchant residing in Dannar's Claim, situated within the Pika Oasis. As the widow of Dannar Calwell, she was also the parent of Kallie and Jabe, and a companion to Leelee Pace. She disapproved of her adolescent son Jabe associating with Orrin Gault and his group, fearing potential harm or even death at the hands of Tusken Raiders.
Following the arrival of Luke Skywalker with Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi to his uncle Owen Lars and his wife, Kenobi established himself near Annileen, who diligently managed Dannar's Claim, the general store her deceased husband had established in the Pika Oasis. Initially, Kenobi's unusual nature sparked her curiosity. Through concise yet significant encounters, she cultivated affections for Kenobi. However, following a confrontation involving Orrin's group, her standing in the oasis became unsustainable due to her assumed association with Orrin, who had defrauded the oasis.
Although she envisioned a future with Obi-Wan, he arranged for Annileen and her family to depart Tatooine without delay. She discovered that her long-ago application to the University of Alderaan had been inexplicably accepted, fulfilling a youthful aspiration.
