Gasgano / Legends Gasgano was a male Xexto podracer pilot who participated in the Boonta Eve Classic podrace . He had 24 fingers total , which allowed him to complete multiple tasks while racing . Biography . Easily ranking among the most famous podracer pilots in the galaxy , Gasgano was one of the deadliest fiends on the track , if one was able to anger him . Otherwise , he would just pass other participants , focused on reaching the finish line first rather than destroying other racers ' pods ( a method favored by Sebulba ) . Gasgano ' s custom - built " Ord Pedrovia " placed a heavy emphasis on acceleration , helping him take the lead in the critical early seconds of a Podrace . The Xexto had little patience for Humans and often condemned lesser pilot Anakin Skywalker as a rookie wannabe , while at the same time being impressed that the Human boy had ever dared to strap himself into a Pod in the first place . Gasgano was championed by Gardulla Besadii the Elder , although she was far from the only spectator who bet on him ; many predicted Gasgano would overtake Sebulba in the Boonta Eve Classic . Placed prominently on the grid , the Xexto took a good start when Jabba the Hutt gave the kickoff , and managed to stay in the front runners throughout the race . While Gasgano placed second behind Anakin in this race , Sebulba ' s defeat and subsequent temporary loss of dignity provided the Xexto with an excellent chance to further his own career as a Podracer . Although Gasgano has a reputation as an intellectual , he got drunk in the nearest cantina to celebrate his victory . However , not bothering to rest from his partial victory in the Boonta , the competitive Gasgano quickly moved on to other races , and soon became the favorite pilot on the barren Podracing moon of Oovo IV . During the Galactic Games of 26 BBY , and among several other contestants of an illegal Caves race on the planet Euceron ( including Ody Mandrell , Aldar Beedo , Elan Mak , Will Neluenf , and 14 - year - old Jedi Padawan Anakin Skywalker ) , Gasgano unfortunately got tangled up with " Scorch " Zanales , and the two racers crashed their pods . Skywalker won the race on behalf of the children of Ratts Tyerell — Deland and Doby , whose podracer Anakin piloted to free their sister - slave Djulla from the clutches of her master , Sebulba ( whose son , Hekula , took second place ) . Behind the scenes . Gasgano ' s appearance in marked the introduction of the Xexto species to the saga . The conceptual maquette of Gasgano was designed by Richard Mills and Robert E . Barnes , and his appearance in the film was computer generated . His voice in " " and " Racer Revenge " was provided by Bob Bergen . It is possible that Gasgano was one of the individuals present around the time of Luke Skywalker ' s meeting with Han Solo in Chalmun ' s Spaceport Cantina . Although not seen in the movie , points out a " multifingered former podracer , now a deft pickpocket " that can be located inside the cantina . It may be another Xexto podracer , but no other Xexto podracers have been officially named . Gasgano , who was normally calm and cool , turned into a bar brawler when he had too much to drink .
