Of course, all good stories need original and interesting characters. No scene in Star Wars captured the imagination due to its diversity of characters quite like the Cantina in Mos Eisley. Whether it was people in costumes or in some cases heads held up in front of the camera on sticks, the aliens in the Cantina made for one of the most enduring scenes of the entire Saga.
Among the ugly, the alien, and the bizarre, was a gorgeous woman who spoke not a word but somehow fit right in with the rest of the patrons. She would come to be known to fans as Brea Tonnika.
Christine Hewett passed away yesterday from cancer. We are very saddened by this news and offer our deepest condolences.
