Legend

known as the Gizman, this hulking humanoid stands over 2.5 meters in height, and was the captain of Jabba the Hutt's swoop gang on Tatooine. He led his swoop gang, with Jix in tow, to take out Luke Skywalker in a dangerous swoop race through Beggar's Canyon. Big Gizz had long, shaggy hair and a well-muscled physique. He had large, pointed ears and a toothy maw. He was injured in the swoop chase when Dash Rendar arrived to help Luke, and tried to get out of Beggar's Canyon with Jix. However, Gizz knew too much about Jix's past, and so Jix killed him before they could return to Jabba's palace. Big Gizz's body was found by the B'omarr monks that lived in Jabba's palace, and was reanimated. The fatal wound that killed Gizz was repaired, and a thick metal plate was installed to cover the hole in his skull. It continually picked up stray communications signals. After being reunited with Spiker, they set off to locate Jabba's hidden trove of weapons on board the escape ship Spirit of Jabba. They hoped to become pirates on their own. Big Gizz's plate picked up comm signals from Gorga the Hutt, who had come to Tatooine to hear Jabba's will and had been left out of the major inheritance. Gorga hoped to recover some of Jabba's Mendacian funeral urns, but stumbled upon the ship first. They managed to steal the ship before Gorga could obtain it, but failed to override the ship's security system. The interactive tape took control, venting atmosphere and locking out user control. Just when they thought they were doomed, the Nemphas tried to intercept them. They were forced to crash-land the ship outside of Mos Eisley in order to escape Gorga the Hutt's minions. Spiker and Gizz survived, and made their way back to civilization. Note that the Rebellion Era Sourcebook claims Big Gizz was a human.
