That's Associate Chief Fnelthr Plux of the Kalkmaar tribe. He and a faction loyal to him broke away from Chief Onf over the mistreatment of a captured Tusken from another tribe. The whole story was told in a SW short story collection, Tales of the Dune Sea, for everyone who wondered what Tuskens, Jawas, Krayt Dragons, and womp rats really did. Another pearl of modern EU, naturally.

At first glance I thought-are you kidding me? They actually wrote about that? Great joke. I thought it might've been the weird Tusken/Jedi dude in some of the comics. (I did not make it up!) I am a fan of the EU when it doesn't go too overboard. Most of the stuff nowadays is just so off the deep end that it isn't even enjoyable anymore. The Thrawn Trilogy, Shatterpoint, and of course the adventures of Han Solo are still my defining EU moments. Can we persuade Lucasbooks to get back to "classic SW"? (hate that term) The only good thing I've read recently has been the Last of the Jedi young reader series. I know that they're for kids, but the stories are actually well defined. Reading all 10 is about the equivalent of a full EU novel.
