Kithaba was a famous Klatooinian assassin who served as a skiff guard for Jabba Desilijic Tiure. He had intended to become a musician after his retirement. Information discovered after his death points to a plan to kill Jabba. Kithaba was on the first skiff during the Battle of the Great Pit of Carkoon, and was devoured by the sarlacc during that battle. Although he was the first skiff guard knocked off by Luke Skywalker, he was the last one seen alive during the skirmish.
