Legend

a minor criminal, Big Bunji was a lavender-hued humanoid with a wide body and a huge head. His eyes were like saucers, and his hair resembled a slate-colored bird's nest. His large ears were pink in coloration, and looked like wings. once hired Han Solo and Chewbacca to run chak-root to Gaurick, agreeing to pay for all their expenses during the contract. Han and Chewie made a number of runs to Gaurick, each one more difficult because the local religious leaders deemed chak-root an illegal substance. One run turned disastrous for them, as the planet's fleet severely damaged the Millennium Falcon as it tried to escape. Han was also forced to dump the load of chak-root he was carrying to get away. Based on the promise Big Bunji made, Han and Chewie had repairs done on the Falcon, and added them to Big Bunji's account. However, they son received a bill from Big Bunji for the chak-root and the repairs to the Falcon. Han's temper flared up, and he strafed Big Bunji's pressure dome with laser bolts, eliminating its atmosphere and causing innumerable amounts of damage. Big Bunji later had his assistant, Squeak, approach Han about a job at the Mos Eisley spaceport, claiming no hard feelings remained between them. However, Han had already taken on Luke Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi. Big Bunji laid low during the Galactic Civil War, eventually setting up shop near Ord Mantell. After the initial phases of construction were completed on the Jubilee Wheel space station, Big Bunji moved his operation there. He went by the pseudonym of "Boss B" to maintain relative anonymity. Big Bunji and most of his organization managed to escape the Yuuzhan Vong attack on the station, making their way planetside to regroup.
