Cut from a cut scene, Ephant Mon (pictured here) is replaced by Saelt Marae in an unused sail barge moment.

UNKNOWN SULLUSTAN

The Sullustans are an alien race created for Return of the Jedi. Unlike Nien Nunb and Ten Numb, (the B-wing pilot on the far right), the unnamed character shown on the left has yet to be associated with a role or scene in the film. He may have been an extra aboard the rebel cruiser "Home One" or inside Jabba's palace. Or perhaps he was never used. Note the goatee and cloak. The composited background image may not necessarily hint to his intended location in the film.
