History Characters / StarWarsJakku

!!Dathan (Formerly Dathan Palpatine) and Miramir

* ForgottenFallenFriend: [[ZigZaggingTrope Zig-zagged.]] For much of ''The Force Awakens'' and ''The Last Jedi'', Rey refuses to believe that they've died and believes that they're going to come back for her. Then Kylo Ren tells her that her parents were abusive and neglectful and left her behind, at least according to a vision that he saw when making contact with Rey. Come ''The Rise of Skywalker'', Rey is content thinking of herself as not having a family, with their apparent sordid past in mind -- until Kylo Ren learns that her parents actually '''did''' try to keep her safe, albeit by putting her in an awful position to keep her from being put into an even worse fate. After learning this, Rey tells Palpatine that she saw strength in her parents for keeping her from his hateful watch -- though, after the action is finished, Rey accepts her adoptive family of the Skywalkers as her own and did not mention her original parents again (though there was no reason for her to).

An old ally of Leia's who is living on Jakku. San Tekka is a retired explorer and devotee of the Church of the Force who aided Luke Skywalker in gathering lost Jedi lore following the death of Emperor Sheev Palpatine.

* HeKnowsTooMuch: He gets killed by Kylo Ren for having possessed the map to Luke Skywalker.

* NoodleIncident: He and Kylo Ren clearly know each other, with Ren commenting on Tekka's age and Tekka knowing Ren's true identity. Exactly when and how they met has yet to be established. Given that [[spoiler:Tekka clearly knew Kylo Ren's mother and uncle, Leia and Luke, Kylo Ren would have had plenty of opportunities to meet him before he succumbed to the Dark Side.]]

* {{Expy}}: Jakku is clearly based off Tatooine. Both are CrapsackWorld desert planets on which the main character (Rey for the former, Anakin and Luke for the latter) lives on before setting off on their journey and discovering their strength with the Force. However, Jakku leans more into being a ScavengerWorld with small outposts, whereas Tatooine has moisture farms and larger towns such as Mos Eisley.

* BladeOnAStick: His main weapon.

* BadassBaritone: An impressively deep voice, from a retired adventurer, loyal devotee to the Church of the Force, and a man who refuses to be intimidated by Kylo Ren, even unto his own death.

* BatmanGambit: [[spoiler:Before leaving Jakku, Miramir grabbed some Aki-Aki beads, gambling that when Ochi of Bestoon caught up with them, he'd believe this meant Rey was on Pasaana, which would kill him. He did, and it did.]]

* DishonoredDead: A non-villainous example that serves as yet another KickTheDog moment for Palpatine. After Ochi murdered them on Palpatine's orders, their bodies were buried in an unmarked pauper's grave somewhere in the Jakku desert. ''Shadow of the Sith'' reveals that their dead bodies were put into space by Oochi after he killed them.

* AbsentMindedProfessor: He gets captured while attempting to steal a Force artifact from a Neimoidian vault. When tried, his defense is that he did break into the vault to steal the artifact but only because the owner wouldn't let him study it. He's genuinely surprised that this didn't work.

* CorruptHick: Alien version. According to "Rey's Survival Guide", he's the wealthiest and most powerful person in Niima Outpost.

* NiceHat: He and his cousins all wear Kyuzo war helmets, which given the western vibes Zuvio gives off, appropriately resemble cowboy hats to a degree.

* UpToEleven: He's even worse of a BadBoss than Unkar Plutt is.
