Jae Juun

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jae Junn is a fictional character in the Star Wars universe.

A petty smuggler, the Sullustan Jae Junn is first seen running cargo for the Killik nest Lizil along with his copilot, the Ewok Tarfang. He offers to help Luke Skywalker, Mara Jade, and Saba Sebatyne find the seven Jedi that went into the Unknown Regions, and travels with them as a sort of copilot. He has a deep admiration of Han Solo, who he calls "the best smuggler in the galaxy" and a weird obsession with proper procedure and protocol. This latter trait brings him into conflict a number of times with Han Solo, who often has to blast away from enemies utilizing unorthodox means. After the Killiks resettle in the Utegetu Nebula, Junn and Tarfang get jobs delivering spinglass sculptures for the Squibs. Little do they know that the sculptures contain a handful of Gorog assassin bugs. About a year after they get this job, Jae and Tarfang find Han and Luke captured by Saras. They help them escape, and the four of them go to find Gorog. When they finally find Lomi Plo, however, Junn is the only one who can see her. With Junn acting as Luke's "eyes", they manage to drive off Lomi Plo, and at the end of the battle, Admiral Nek Bwau'tu gives both Tarfang and Junn lucrative contracts working for Galactic Alliance Intelligence. Junn and Tarfang run into Han and Leia again when they run into them on Lizil searching for Jaina and Zekk. Both of them lend a helping hand and then go off. It is unclear whether they will appear in future books.
