CEBANN VEEKAN

Alternate Names: Baboon Man

Actor: unknown

Description:
Cebann Veekan, a Hamadryas, hangs out at the bar counter in Ackmena’s cantina and keeps pretty well to himself; although he’s always happy to join the other patrons in any rousing song-and-dance activity.

Details:
Cebann Veekan (originally known only as Baboon Man, but given a name and a backstory on starwars.com in 2006) was created for and only seen in The Star Wars Holiday Special. Assumedly due to his facial characteristics, he garnered the nickname “Baboon Man”. The creature named Kelbo is sometimes mistakenly referred to as Baboon Man, but Kelbo looks nothing like a baboon.
