Kitster Chanchani Banai was a Human slave boy on Tatooine, and the best friend of Anakin Skywalker. After not seeing his smuggler father, Rakir Banai, in many years, Kitster gave up hopes of being rescued from Tatooine and instead hoped to one day be a majordomo for a wealthy Mos Espan estate.

Kitster Chanchani Banai was born the son of smuggler Rakir Banai, circa 41 BBY. Rakir was wanted by the Hutts, who eventually tracked him down and captured his ship with his family on board. As a result, Kitster and his mother were sold into slavery, which brought them to the Tatooine city of Mos Espa.

A short time before the 32 BBY Boonta’s Eve, the young Kitster, with Anakin Skywalker and their friends, narrowly avoided disaster upon hearing of children who had been captured and imprisoned by Sebulba. The Dug intended to sell the captives, including Princess Arawynne, to Gardulla the Elder. The children, disguised as Jawas, sneaked into Gardulla’s estate and freed the Ghostling children.

Kitster was the best friend of Anakin Skywalker on Tatooine, but he was also a slave—property of Gardulla, who was ever threatening to sell him to the glitterstim miners if he didn’t «shape up.» During the podrace on Boonta Eve, Kitster was part of Anakin’s pit crew.

Before Anakin left to become a Jedi, he left Kitster some of his prize credits. With it, Kitster bought Par Ontham’s Guide to Etiquette, a book that Kitster memorized to secure a job at the Three Moons, run by Rarta Dal. With that job, Kitster earned enough to buy his own freedom by the time he had grown up.
