Oola
A Twi'lek female dancer in Jabba the Hutt's palace. She was brought to the palace by Bib Fortuna, in an effort to please Jabba. When she landed on Tatooine, she and her companions were intercepted Luke Skywalker, who offered to help them escape their coming slavery. Her companion, Sienn, chose to flee with Luke. Oola couldn't bring herself to scape, and was brought to Jabba. Fortuna fitted her with a leather head-dress that contained large metal studs. These studs protruded on the inside of the leather helmet, clogging her ears and causing her undue pain. She was killed by Jabba's Rancor when she refused to submit to Jabba's demands. Jabba opened the trapdoor near his Hutt floater and let her drop into the Rancor's pit.

Phlegmin

Porcellus
A chef who worked for Jabba the Hutt in the Court of the Fountain restaurant. He was probably most famous for his fried beignets, although Porcellus took great pride in other parts of his ever-changing menu. It also kept him alive, for Jabba always wanted to try new dishes. When Jabba retreated to his palace in the Tatooine desert, he took Porcellus with him. Porcellus lived in constant fear, though, that one of his dished would upset the Hutt's normally strong stomach. At that point, Porcellus felt he would be fed to the rancor. After a number of deaths in Jabba's palace were discovered, Jabba told Porcellus that his desires to poison Jabba had hexed the food. The individuals found dead ate food that was destined for Jabba. Porcellus hid in the cabinets, fearing a reprisal from Jabba. When Malakili later released him, Porcellus learned that Jabba was dead. The two friends fled to Mos Eisley, where they established the Crystal Moon restaurant.

Rancor
Part crustacean, part aranchid, the Rancor stands about 8-10 meters tall, and has wickedly-clawed hands and rows of sharp teeth in its pudgy face. It is covered in knobby, natural armor and bony headplates.
These beasts are native to Dathomir, where the Witches use them as mounts. The Rancor have been indebted to the witches since Allya came to Dathomir and rescued a sick Rancor female. They are easily trained to do a number of tasks, including climbing and carrying riders. Jabba the Hutt had a Rancor caged in his palace on Tatooine, which he kept starved. He then dropped anyone who displeased him into the Rancor's pit, and the denizens of the palace looked on as the Rancor tore the hapless victim to pieces. Luke was one of Jabba's victims, but he was able to kill the Rancor before it killed him.

Ree-Yees
A three-eyed, goat-faced alien from the Gran race, he was exiled from his homeworld of Kinyen for committing murder. His expulsion from Kinyen eventually drove him mad. After roaming the galaxy, Ree-Yees fell into Jabba the Hutt's entourage. This life didn't please him, and he soon became invovled in an Imperial plot to kill the Hutt. Imperial agents placed a small message module in the skin of Jabba's bubo, which they used to communicate with Ree-Yees. They then supplied Ree-Yees with shipments of goatgrass, in which were hidden the various pieces of a massive detonation device. However, someone managed to steal the detonator out of the last shipment, leaving Ree-Yees in a lurch. He blamed the death of Phlegmin, who seemed to be in the room when the detonator was stolen, on Ephant Mon, a creature he didn't trust. When Jabba tried to have Han Solo and Luke Skywalker fed to the Sarlacc, Ree-Yees discovered that Jabba had planted a thought-trigger in Ree-Yees' mind. This trigger, when activated by a code phrase from Jabba, would compel him to set off a bomb that had been surgically planted in Ree-Yees' belly. When Leia Organa killed Jabba, the threat of an explosion was temporarily averted. However, when Jabba's sail barge exploded, it set off the bomb, killing Ree-Yees instantly.

Salacious Crumb
Jabba's ratlike retainer, he is a Kowakian monkey-lizard. Salacious has an obnoxious laugh, and has the annoying habit of mimicking what is said around him. Crumb was a resident of the space station Kwenn when Jabba the Hutt visited there. Crumb escaped a group of Mantilorrian rat catchers by stowing away on Jabba's starship. He sustained himself by eating Jabba's leftovers, until Jabba discovered the lizard-monkey and tried to eat him. Bidlo Kwerve and Bib Fortuna both tried to capture Salacious Crumb, but Crumb dumped Jabba's food on Kwerve and fled to the rafters. Kwerve tried to shoot Crumb, but only food squirted out of the gun, landing on Fortuna. Jabba's laughter resounded throughout the ship, and from that point on the Hutt kept Crumb around for a daily dose of laughter. Salacious Crumb knew that the day he couldn't make Jabba laugh was the day he died. He searched Jabba's palaces and townhomes for new jokes. He even waylaid strangers and tried to set them up for a meeting with Jabba, just to give the crimelord a laugh. It is believed that Salacious Crumb died when Jabba's sail barge exploded at the Pit of Carkoon.

Sy Snootles
An alien singer, with a long snout and skinny legs, was known as one of the best jizz-wailers in the galaxy when she was employed by Evar Orbus. When Orbus was killed on Tatooine, she suggested to her band-mates that they continue as a trio. She helped rename the Kitonak Snit, giving him the name Droopy McCool, and allowed Max Rebo to become the leader of the band. However, when Max agreed to play for Jabba the Hutt in return for all the food he could eat, she became angry. After arriving at Jabba's palace, Sy was approached by a number of parties to act as a spy against Jabba. When Jabba was killed near the Sarlacc pit, Sy and the band jumped off the sail barge before it was destroyed and fled into the desert. Following the death of Jabba and the disappearance of Droopy, Sy and Max decided to play for Lady Valarian. Their partnership didn't last long, as Sy struck out on her own. However, her career quickly floundered, and she was reduced to touring backwater planets under a number of aliases.

Tessek
A Quarren who was one of Jabba the Hutt's Chief Lieutenants at his palace on Tatooine. Tessek was involved in a number of intrigues. He was working with Prefect Talmont in a plot to kill Jabba, while secretly bribing Talmont's men into killing both Jabba and Talmont. He would then sell any and all of Jabba's criminal empire to Lady Valarian. He planned to keep most of Jabba's "clean" business operations for himself. He had already manipulated many of these businesses into lucrative ventures, with Jabba's blessing. It was Tessek, however, who handled their day-to-day operation, not Jabba, although Jabba was the one listed as the owner. Tessek had managed to bribe into employment many of Jabba's henchmen, including Ree-Yees, Barada, and many of the Weequays. However, when Tessek encountered a disembodied B'omarr monk who seemed to know all of his plans, Tessek began to panic. He had planted a bomb on Jabba's supply skiff, which he would explode when Jabba left the palace. His plan was to have Talmont intercept the barge at Jabba's Mos Eisley warehouse, where both would die. However, the presence of Leia Organa and Luke Skywalker in the palace put many of Tessek's plans in disarray. He tried to warn Jabba of the danger posed by the Alliance, hoping to keep the Hutt in Mos Eisley. Jabba, though, began to distrust Tessek, and ordered him to accompany the sail barge to the Pit of Carkoon. Tessek was trapped. It was Tessek who finally put all the pieces of Luke Skywalker's plan to free Han Solo and destroy Jabba, but the only audience he could find to hear him out was Ephant Mon, who later linked Tessek to an Imperial plot to destroy Jabba. Tessek tried to escape the palace, but Ortugg, who held him in the palace until Jabba was ready to depart, intercepted him. Jabba then demanded that Tessek stay near him. When Skywalker's plan went into action, Tessek played along with it, shooting a Weequay who would have stopped Leia from strangling Jabba. Tessek managed to escape Jabba's sail barge before it exploded, and returned to the palace. There, the B'omarr monks captured him and his brain was disassociated from his body. As an acolyte, he learned that he had more in common with Skywalker, Organa, and Han Solo than he did with Jabba's ilk, and found the true meaning of freedom.

Yarna d'al' Gargan
The six-breasted female Askajian dancer in Jabba's palace, Yarna was known as one of the greatest dancers on the planet Askaj. She was captured on her homeworld, along with her husband Nautag and their four cubs, and forced into slavery by Jabba the Hutt. One of her cubs was killed during the capture. Nautag was fed to the rancor for protesting his enslavement, and the remaining three cubs were kept at Jabba's townhouse in order to ensure Yarna's complete acceptance of her slavery. Over time, she became one of Jabba's most favored dancers. Jabba ordered her to wear cosmetic "beauty lumps" on her face, to make her look more like his mother. When Jabba was killed at the Pit of Carkoon, Yarna was still in the palace. She met up with Doallyn, and the two of them escaped from Tessek and B'omarr monks and fled to Mos Eisley. There, she recovered her three cubs and fled Tatooine, with Doallyn, to Geran. There, they decided to become freelance traders, living aboard their starship. Yarna danced on the side, and even performed the Dance of the Seventy Violet Veils at the wedding of Han Solo and Leia Organa.
