Unkar Plutt

Unkar Plutt was a male Crolute who operated as a junk boss on Jakku.

Biography
Unkar operated a salvage exchange business at Niima Outpost on Jakku, establishing himself as a junk boss who worked at an exchange booth with a larger office and junk base elsewhere in the outpost. He took in the young Human Rey when she arrived on Jakku, though his miserly nature meant she had to fend for herself. He used thugs to intimidate those who displeased him.

Plutt sought interlifts, offering a half portion for each, and purchased the single example brought to him by Rey. He reminded her of his need for interlifts a week later, after she gave him a component scavenged from inside a Star Destroyer, but the girl drew his ire when she accused him of being too fat to fit inside the wrecked starships himself. Menacing her with his thugs, Plutt forced Rey to accompany him to his office to strike a new bargain.

Physical appearance and biology
A male Crolute, Unkar Plutt had a bulky, lumpish appearance, though the physique hidden beneath layers of blubber and thick folds of rubbery skin was as muscular as a Wookiee. He was flat-nosed with flabby features and a wide face. He had a booming voice and let out deep belly laughs when amused.

Personality and traits
"Unkar Plutt is the master of salvage. Girlie brings broken equipment. Pieces missing, rattling, all junk. Unkar could do girlie's job blind."

- Unkar, to Rey

A businessman working in salvage exchange, Unkar considered himself the master of salvage, although Rey saw him as a grubby merchant. Unkar had a miserly nature. He enjoyed stretching the bounds of common courtesy to his employees, and he tended to inspect his attractive scavengers as much as their salvage, leering at the likes of Rey. He found her disobedience both infuriating and amusing at turns, finding her fun when riled albeit not at the expense of his profits.
