Ubert Quaril, also known as Sticks, was a musician of the human male variety, notable for his skill with the xyloxan. Approximately thirty years following the Battle of Endor, he provided musical entertainment at Maz Kanata's pirate castle, as a member of the band known as Shag Kava. His bandmates included Infrablue Zedbeddy Coggins, Taybin Ralorsa, and Sudswater Dillifay Glon. During one of their performances, Kanata noticed her longtime acquaintance Han Solo entering her establishment. She called out to him, which caused the music to stop. Ralorsa and the others restarted their performance, but their music was soon halted again when many of the castle's occupants ran outside to observe the destruction of the Hosnian system, an event caused by the First Order's Starkiller Base superweapon. Subsequently, the First Order's forces attacked and decimated the castle.
The character of Ubert Quaril was brought to life for Star Wars: Episode VII The Force Awakens, a film that premiered on December 18, 2015. The character's identity was confirmed in Star Wars: The Force Awakens: The Visual Dictionary, a companion book authored by Pablo Hidalgo that was released alongside the movie. Topo Wresniwiro played the part of Quaril.
