Summary

	Jek Nkik was the male Jawa relative of Het Nkik Het Nkik (Jawa) Character Minor Characters . He was killed The Hunt for the Droids Event Galactic Civil War by sandtroopers Desert Sands Organization Galactic Empire Military . While out exploring their native Tatooine Tatooine Planet , the Nkiks found an old, crashed freighter, and began to dig deeper around the crash site. Within, they found the burned and tangled components of an E522 assassin droid. Though the droid seemed hopelessly damaged, Jek and Het vowed to repair it, and secretly scrounged spare parts from the Jawa Jawa Sentient Species fortress storehouse in order to complete their project. Their clan leader, Wimateeka, suspected that the two young Jawas were up to something, and watched them closely - although this only made the Nkiks more determined to succeed. Jek and Het spent months in a secret hideaway out in the badlands piecing together tiny components and servomotors, until finally the assassin droid was fully repaired. The Jawas had purged all of the droid's hunter-seeker weapons and all initiatives to cause violence, and it had been emasculated of its murderous programming. The E522 functioned perfectly, but as little more than an extremely powerful messenger droid. Jet and Het Nkik proudly displayed their triumph to Wimateeka, who scolded the boys for such folly - he believed that no one would want to buy a reprogrammed assassin droid. However, Jek and Het surprised themselves by selling the the repaired assassin droid to Lady Valarian, Jabba the Hutt Jabba the Hutt (Hutt) Character Major Characters 's rival on Tatooine. Because of this, Jek and Het had to separate. In two years after selling the assassin droid, Jek served as a scout in Chief Nebit Nebit (Jawa) Character Minor Characters 's scouting party Droid Messengers Event Galactic Civil War , led by Dathcha Datcha (Jawa) Character Minor Characters , in the search for R2-D2 R2-D2 (R2-series Astromech Droid) Character Droids . Their Jawa clan was attacked The Hunt for the Droids Event Galactic Civil War by sandtroopers Imperial Sandtrooper Organization Galactic Empire Military who destroyed the sandcrawler Sandcrawler Ground Vehicle Vehicles and killed all the Jawas onboard, including Jek Nkik. Het later tried to avenge his death. Read more...	See also Datcha Het Nkik Imperial Sandtrooper Jabba the Hutt Nebit R2-D2 Sandcrawler
