Biography[]
Wioslea was an adult female member of the Vuvrian race. She stood about 1.9 meters tall, was very slender, and had a large green hairless head, with five eyes, a distorted mouth, and two thin tentacles that extended downward from the top of her head. Presumably, these physical traits were characteristic of her race.
Around 0 BBY, Wioslea was operating on the planet Tatooine, and was known to be one of many off-world denizens found in the Mos Eisley space port. A young moisture farmer named Luke Skywalker - desperate for some fast money, decided to sell his X-34 landspeeder to Wioslea. The two haggled over the price, but after agreeing to terms, Luke walked away from the sale less than satisfied, as he had hoped for more credits than he actually received. [2]
