Gela Yeens, a short-tempered smuggler, made credits assisting Jabba Desilijic Tiure with debt collection. Known for his impressive battle prediction skills, Yeens sought Debnoli out on Tatooine. Subsequently, he went with Jabba the Hutt to Docking Bay 94, along with Boba Fett, Boelo, another human, and three Rodians. He and the other guards kept watch as Jabba argued with Han Solo concerning his outstanding balance.
Gela Yeens initially showed up in a scene that was cut from Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope, which debuted on May 25, 1977. This scene was later incorporated into the special edition of the film, which came out in 1997. His name was first established via the Decipher Star Wars Customizable Card Game.
