The Tonnika sisters, Brea and Senni Tonnika, are notorious con artists and criminals within the Star Wars universe. First appearing in the original 1977 "Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope" film, they are briefly seen in the Mos Eisley Cantina, a wretched hive of scum and villainy on the desert planet Tatooine. These two human women, characterized by their bold, fashionable attire and distinctive hairstyles, were adept at using their charm and wits to manipulate those around them. Their backstory, further explored in the Star Wars Expanded Universe (now known as "Legends"), reveals them as clever schemers who undertook various illegal activities to amass wealth and avoid capture by authorities.
Despite their relatively brief appearance on-screen, the Tonnika sisters have garnered a significant fan following and have been featured in various Star Wars media, including novels, comics, and role-playing games. Within the Expanded Universe, they have been depicted engaging in a range of illicit enterprises, from smuggling to complex confidence scams. Their elusive nature and knack for deception made them both intriguing and formidable figures in the galaxy far, far away, cementing their place in Star Wars lore as iconic secondary characters with an enduring legacy.
