Eyvind was a male human who made his living as a moisture farmer on the [planet](/article/planet] Tatooine's desert landscape during the Galactic Empire's reign. Not long before the Battle of Yavin, amidst the Galactic Civil War between the Empire and the Alliance to Restore the Republic, Eyvind shared an alcoholic beverage with Takeel, a spice-dependent Snivvian, inside Chalmun's Spaceport Cantina situated in the spaceport of Mos Eisley on Tatooine. As they were drinking together, Luke Skywalker, a moisture farmer from the area, and Obi-Wan Kenobi, a Jedi in hiding, became involved in a dispute at the cantina's bar with two local criminals known as Doctor Cornelius Evazan and Ponda Baba.
Eyvind's initial appearance occurred in Drawing the Maps of Peace: The Moisture Farmer's Tale, a Star Wars Legends short story penned by M. Shayne Bell and featured in the Tales from the Mos Eisley Cantina anthology, which was published in 1995. His status as canon was verified with the 2016 publication of the reference book Star Wars: Complete Locations.
