Legend

this Rodian played the slitherhorn for the Max Rebo Band. Dodo was born on a shuttle that was en route to Tatooine, after his parents fled the wrath of Navik the Red. Dodo learned to respect his clan from his mother, and learned to love music from his father. He grew up in the streets of Mos Eisley with his best friend, Falk, but was forced out of his home when bounty hunters from Rodian killed his parents and burned the house. He and Falk then grew up as part of the Shawpee Gang, and they were fond of frocking jawas and stealing ronto steaks. Over the years, he grew into one of the minor information brokers in the spaceport city. After they left the Shawpees, Dodo and Falk joined Jabba the Hutt's ring of informants. Falk was eventually killed for spying, but Dodo remained with Jabba's group, and even joined the bands that played in the palace. Dodo managed to avoid his own death when Jabba was killed at the Pit of Carkoon, having been sent to deliver a message from Bib Fortuna to Onici Wen. After Jabba's death, Dodo sneaked into the palace and stole some valuable treasures before fleeing Tatooine forever. Among those treasures were the sculptures known as the Minstrel and the Dancing Goddess. He sold these back to their original owners, and retired to a comfortable living on Tharkos.
