Biography[]
Kara Safwan was a human female who was hired by the criminal Rang Clan to spy and gather intel on the operations of the Crimson Dawn, a rival criminal syndicate.[1] In 10 BBY,[3] she attended a party on board the First Light, the personal yacht of the Crimson Dawn crime lord Dryden Vos.[1]
She was on board when it arrived on the planet Vandor to collect a delivery of stolen coaxium.[2] Safwan blended in well with the other revelers on board; however, Vos's concierge Margo suspected she was up to something and discreetly blocked her attempts to get deeper into the crime lord's inner circle.[1] During a performance by the singers Aurodia Ventafoli and Luleo Primoc, Safwan stood with an Imperial officer on the yacht's viewing deck drinking[2] from a flask of Vandor ice water to keep her head clear.[1] After the performance ended, she and a brightly dressed human man then spoke with another pair of humans before passing by Vos himself after he descended from a raised area of the deck.[2]
Personality and traits[]
Safwan had fair skin and brown eyes and hair.[1]
Equipment[]
While on the yacht, Safwan wore a matching black and gold dress and top. She also had a mid-cochlear recording device in her right ear.[1]
Behind the scenes[]
Kara Safwan first appeared in the 2018 film Solo: A Star Wars Story[2] and was first identified in the accompanying reference book Solo: A Star Wars Story The Official Guide, which was written by Pablo Hidalgo.[1] Lucasfilm Ltd. employee[4] Kristen Hidalgo confirmed on Twitter that the character was named by Pablo after Saf Davidson, a host of several Star Wars podcasts.[5]
