Legend

one of the few surviving Iridium space pirates, Raskar was the owner the last power gem that was existed in the galaxy. He retired to a little-known rim world, and made his money betting on fights which he staged against those who wanted the gem. He kept his skills sharp battling dueling droids. When Chewbacca beat his best warrior and Han Solo took possession of the gem, Raskar faded into anonymity for awhile, becoming a bounty hunter for Jabba the Hutt. He convinced Jabba to let him capture Solo, and tried to capture Solo by tracking the Millennium Falcon to Hoth. Han managed to escape the initial encounter, with some help from Luke Skywalker. Raskar tried to steal Han's reward for rescuing Leia from Grand Moff Tarkin, chasing them beneath the surface of the planet. There, they discovering the presence of lumni-spice. Raskar agreed to let Solo go free for his take of the lumni-spice. A dragon-slug attacked them, and Luke was able to defeat it. After both Solo and Raskar escaped from Hoth, Raskar later rescued Solo from Skorr, on Ord Mantell.
