An ape-like bounty hunter of unknown origin spotted Luke Skywalker upon his arrival at Chalmun's Spaceport Cantina while the young Skywalker was on assignment for the Rebel Alliance. Thinking that Jabba Desilijic Tiure would generously compensate him for the demise of Luke Skywalker, the bounty hunter tried to obliterate the rebel. Anduvil discharged his weapon at the bounty hunter's hand, thereby causing the intended fatal shot to fail and consequently rescuing Luke Skywalker. Luke Skywalker subsequently recognized the bounty hunter as someone who occasionally worked for Jabba Desilijic Tiure.
Both Luke Skywalker and the bounty hunter called the bounty hunter's boss "Jabba the Hut," using only one "t." This particular spelling was frequently seen up until the debut of Star Wars: Episode VI Return of the Jedi.
