The Max Rebo Band was a jazzy ensemble that played gigs from one side of the galaxy to the other. The band was normally a trio, but leader Max Rebo often added vocalists, additional musicians and dancers for clients who wanted a fuller sound and a bigger spectacle. Jabba the Hutt was a big fan, and hired Max's group to play in his palace overlooking Tatooine's Dune Sea.

Greeata joined the Max Rebo Band as a backup singer and dancer for some of the ensemble's gigs, including their performance at Jabba's palace. Her orange hair and ample jewelry ensured she got noticed even by listeners lacking musical taste.

Half-human, half-Theelin, the crimson-haired Rystáll Sant performed with the Max Rebo Band in the group's more elaborate gigs. A veteran singer and dancer, Rystáll's hooves had twirled across many a stage during her galaxy-spanning career.

A single, winding dirt-swept road curves up into the crook of a rocky canyon, leading to a lone structure in the desert wastes beyond the Dune Sea of Tatooine. Here stood the palace of Jabba the Hutt, an immense curving building of sandblasted metal and pitted stone. Inside, the dregs of the galaxy congregated to do all manner of illicit business, to curry favor with the grotesque crime lord, or to avoid his fickle wrath. Jabba reclined atop a stone dais within the throne room of his palace, a bustling chamber that overlooked a secret pit that contained his favorite beast, the vicious rancor monster.

A green-skinned Twi'lek, Oola was one of Jabba's slaves, forced to dance for the Hutt's pleasure. When Oola resisted Jabba's orders one time too many, the cruel Hutt dropped her into the rancor's cave beneath his throne room -- a one-way trip taken by many who no longer pleased the crimelord.

Twi'leks are tall, thin humanoids with skin pigment that spans a rainbow of colors. Their most distinctive feature is a pair of shapely prehensile tentacles that grow from the base of their skulls. Few things are as graceful as a female Twi'lek in motion. This beautiful image has forever doomed generations of young Twi'leks into servitude, as the wealthy and corrupt have taken to brandishing Twi'leks as badges of prestige. In the waning years of the Republic, the Twi'lek homeworld of Ryloth was represented in the Galactic Senate by the corpulent blue-skinned politician Orn Free Taa. Even a politician of high office was not above flaunting a pair of lovely Twi'lek aides as a sign of influence and wealth.
