Legend

a Kalkal academic, Bloor was a professor of Investigative Politico-Sociology at Beshka University. He came up with the idea of writing an investigative paper on Jabba the Hutt, and petitioned the university for funding. P'tan interrupted, however, and claimed that he should go instead of Bloor, since Bloor was an untenured junior professor. The board agreed with P'tan, and Bloor was forced to remain at the university. When P'tan failed to return on time, the university sent Bloor to Jabba's palace on Tatooine to determine whether or not P'tan was still alive, and to continue the study of Jabba and his crime ring. However, Bloor was waylayed in the tunnels by Salacious Crumb. Crumb brought Bloor before Jabba, in an attempt to humor the Hutt. However, Bloor was a pure academic, not a comedian, and the only joke he knew was one that Jabba had already heard. The Hutt fed Bloor to his pet rancor.
