Legend

this Phuii was one of the Outer Rim's best podracer pilots. He was smitten with the Twi'lek Ann Gella, after seeing her at a glimmik concert. However, Sebulba discovered his affections and vowed to eliminate him. Guo was part of field for the Boonta Eve Classic which was eventually won by Anakin Skywalker, but Mars Guo himself was unable to finish the race. He had hoped to pilot his Plug-2 Behemoth racer to victory in order to buy the freedom of Ann Gella. However, the wily Dug, Sebulba, flung a piece of scrap into the air in front of Guo's pod, and the debris was sucked into an engine. The scrap shredded the engine's components and destroyed it, and Mars Guo's pod flew out of control and crashed in a fiery blast. Many believed that Mars did not survive the explosion, but nevertheless he returned to Mos Espa alive and well.
