Unkar's thugs

Unkar's thugs is a fictional organization featured in the Star Wars multimedia franchise. They appeared in the 2015 feature film Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens. They had a minor role in the film, but did contribute towards establishing the capability of one of the main characters, Rey.

Unkar's thugs were an informal coalition of henchmen based out of Niima Outpost on the planet Jakku. These dim-witted agents were employed by Unkar Plutt to ambush random scavengers conducting unauthorized bartering practices, which challenged the authority of the Blobfish. Despite being a small outpost, where everybody knew everyone, Unkar's goons maintained a practice of concealing their faces for secrecy, though most of the regulars could easily recognize them through their voice or body language. [1]

Three of these brutes attempted to take advantage of a young scavenger woman named Rey with the intent of purloining a valuable BB-series astromech droid that had come into her possession. Rey was young and slight of build, but she was more than capable of defending herself, and beat her attackers back with a fighting staff. [2]
