Lemo
this man was one of the leaders of a smuggler gang, along with Sanda, which operated on the planet Arcan IV during the height of the Galactic Civil War. They hoped to steal the Dancing Goddess and the Minstrel, in order to help fund their operations. After a brief struggle with Lando Calrissian and Barpotomous Drebble, Lemo found himself in possession of the Minstrel. Lemo had used it as the basis for his organization's funding, but he landed in prison and couldn't control things from there. When Han Solo questioned Lemo about it, Lemo agreed to turn the statue over in return for his freedom and a wealth of credits.
