He was instrumental in the destruction of the second Death Star and Lando Calrissian’s co pilot in Return of the Jedi. Nien Nunb is instantly recognizable but not a character we know much about. He also appeared in Episode VII as one of the fighter pilots for the new rebellion. Controlled by puppeteer Mike Quinn, Nunb is a former Sullustan arms dealer who joined the Rebel Alliance to take on the Empire.
It would be nice if the character got some back story in the second film of the new trilogy and even subtitles for his dialogue. He had a lot to say in Jedi but we couldn’t understand a single word! Maybe that’s part of the charm. Either way it’s still cool to see another veteran from the originals still alive and kicking and sticking it to the forces of evil in a galaxy far, far away…
