Tork was a doorman employed at Chalmun's Cantina located in Mos Eisley on the planet Tatooine, around the time of 0 ABY. He frequently collaborated with Ackmena and her helper.
His role as a doorman involved removing disruptive or inebriated patrons, or those who refused to depart after closing time. This task was made easier by his imposing stature (exceeding two meters) and fearsome look.
Despite his rough exterior, he shared a strong friendship with Ackmena. In fact, he, Ackmena, and Ackmena's helper functioned almost as a familial unit.
The role of Tork was portrayed by Mickey Morton in the The Star Wars Holiday Special. Furthermore, the character makes occasional, unpredictable appearances in the questionably canon title Star Wars: Yoda Stories.
