Since he was a cub, Myhr Rho dreamed of owning a successful business. Sadly he had been brought up far from the grassy savannas of his homeworld Cathar and out of reach of the galaxy's more prosperous regions.
All his life he had hated the parched planet of Tatooine where he had been forced to make his home. The blazing heat of the twin suns meant he had to cut his mane short to keep cool and their light was unpleasant for a naturally nocturnal being. He was unable to find a decent job that suited the business acumen he believed he had since most employment opportunities on the impoverished planet were less than legal. Myhr had no desire to be involved with anything dangerous or violent.
Myhr tried to save money so he could one day leave Tatooine but most of the time he gave in to temporary comforts and could often be found drinking and carousing in the Cantina. When news of Palpatine's death at the Battle of Endor death reached Tatooine though, Myhr's dreary life changed. The uproarious celebrations in Mos Eisley lasted a long time and Myhr began to think of ways to take advantage of this new era of freedom.
To his surprise he learned that Luke Skywalker, a hero of the rebellion, had once lived on Tatooine. After witnessing the successes of plays produced by Cebann Veekan and Ackmena based on Skywalker's exploits, Myhr put all of his efforts into researching Skywalker and his life on Tatooine. He then set about turning it into something profitable. Myhr realized that once Skywalker's deeds became more widely known many people would be interested in his homeworld and want to visit the important sites of his life there.
He scraped together the money to buy a small used sail barge and set up the "Skywalker Tour." Visitors to Tatooine would be taken to all the places important in Luke's life including the site where R2-D2 and C-3PO's lifepod crashed, the Lars homestead, Ben Kenobi's former home, Jabba's Palace and the Pit of Carkoon.
Tourists came in droves and Myhr was a success at last. He conceded that maybe Tatooine was not such a bad place after all.
