Lathe was one of Jabba Desilijic Tiure's Nikto henchmen. One of the few Nikto in Jabba's Palace who wasn't a slave, he hated the slave trade deep down. Also an information broker, he wanted to leave Tatooine to see what the galaxy had to offer.

Lathe was one of Jabba's guards during the Battle of the Great Pit of Carkoon. He was on the second skiff and was killed by Jedi Knight Luke Skywalker.

Behind the scenes[]

Decipher's card of Lathe mistakenly shows an image of Nysad in Jabba's Palace. Star Wars Insider 143 retconned him as a different Nikto character on the skiff. He was portrayed by an uncredited extra.
