Legend

this young man was a native of Alderaan, and the son of a wealthy merchant family. He was away from the planet on business when it was destroyed by the first Death Star, and was forced to make a living as a smuggler. He barely survived a number of dangerous missions before making his way to Tatooine. There, he tried to set up his own operations but refused to pay "protection money" to Jabba the Hutt in order to remain independent. Wade was then kidnapped by Jabba, who forced him to race in a series of demolition derbies against a variety of opponents. In these events, Wade was known as a formidable competitor who had just enough control of the Force to keep himself alive. He used a modified X-34 landspeeder as his vehicle of choice, a craft he purchased from BoShek shortly after arriving on Tatooine. He later discovered that the landspeeder had once been owned by Luke Skywalker.
