Greedo was an overzealous bounty hunter hired by
Jabba the Hutt to collect on
Han Solo. Greedo challenged Solo in the
Mos Eisley Cantina. At blaster point, the
Rodian demanded Solo pay his debt to Jabba. Solo claimed he didn't have the money with him. Greedo had lost his patience, and opened fire. His shot missed; it was the last mistake Greedo would make. Solo opened fire with his powerful
blaster pistol, ripping through the cantina table and the Rodian's chest.
Greedo was an alien with a tapir-like snout, bulbous eyes, pea-green skin, and a crest of spines atop his skull. He was survived by a relative named Beedo who took his place in Jabba the Hutt's court.
