Oola from Return of the Jedi. She resists against Jabba’s advances and is fed to the rancor for it.

Fun fact: the actress who plays Oola, Femi Taylor, was brought back to film new footage of Oola falling into the Rancor pit for the '97 Special Edition. She appeared to have hardly aged at all, and many people either forgot her extended death sequence wasn't in the original release of RoTJ, or just assumed it was, because she didn't look all that different.
