Greedo

Greedo
 This was a green scaly skinned Rodian, who whilst still young was shown the bounty hunter life style and such it was no surprise he took this occupational route. One day he took a well paid job from Jabba the Hutt to get Han Solo to pay up. He thought he had it all planned as he drew his blaster at Han whilst in the Mos Eisley cantina, but Han was one step ahead and just before Greedo could take his shot, Han shot 1st with his gun secretly hidden underneath the table. Greedo failed and Jabba just hired more bounty hunters in his place. As for Greedo it is said, after death he was ground down to a pulp for a 'specialised' drink to be served in the cantina.

Jabba the Hutt

Jabba the Hutt
 Jabba Desilijic Tiure as he was born, was part of a large family and had a large criminal organisation, which spread on several worlds including his homeworld of Tatooine. He owned several things including a palace in Mos Eisley, but long before that he enjoyed a good old Pod race, which he delighted in the crashes in. He had several slaves including the dancing girl Oola and often hired bounty hunters to do his work as he was so fat and lazy, he couldn't be bothered to do it himself. One of these such occasions is when Han Solo failed to pay off his debts once too many times + agreeing in siding with Vader, 6 bounty hunters were sent to find him and bring him back. Jabba agreed Vaders terms of leaving 'Skywalker' for him in the deal that Han was not to be killed, but frozen in carbonite. As this showed Vader the carbonite worked, he was only too happy to do this. Han was indeed captured, but soon escaped again, thanks to a disguised Leia. In another incident, Luke had come to Jabba's court too, but Jabba wasn't interested in talking and sent him to his doom to fight the mighty Rancor, but Surprisingly Luke survived and killed the Rancor. Jabba was furious and took all the rebels to the Sarlacc pit for a gruesome death, but once again the rebels had a plan and with the help of 'R2', all the rebels escaped and then Leia strangled Jabba to his death with the very chains he'd held her captive in. This surely wasn't the end of the Hutt racket though, for Zirro, Gardulla, Zorba and many others still lived.
