Legend

this reptilian Er'Kit was born on the planet Tatooine, and was later considered one of the Outer Rim's best podracer pilots. During the Boonta Eve Classic race in which Anakin Skywalker emerged victorious, Ody Mandrell's XL 5115 podracer was disabled in a crash and had to come in for repairs. Pit droid DUM-4 was sucked into the port-side engine when it suddenly flared up, and the damage caused by the foreign body ruined the engine. He eventually got the damage repaired and returned to the race, but was knocked off the course by Sebulba and driven into Anakin's pod. The two racers became entangled, and when they finally freed themselves, Ody's ship flew out of control and crashed. Ody managed to survived the crash, but retired from active podracing for good. He remained on Tatooine as a mechanic, and eventually went to work for Ulda Banai at the Mos Espa Swoop Arena.
