Biography . Jak Sazz was a male Ab ' Ugartte , a little - known species not known for their congeniality , although Sazz was considered an outcast even among them . Sazz ' s only friend was " Grivooga , " an oversized hydrospanner he constantly talked to and carried around everywhere . He typically used Grivooga to repair his old starship , as well as to pummel live food . Sazz frequented the Byss Bistro , a cantina on the Imperial Freight Complex above the planet Byss , where his bad hygiene often kept the other bar patrons as far away from him as possible . Sazz was considered a lowlife by many denizens of the underworld , and even the Hutts were reluctant about contracting him for work . He never refused any paying job and had done work as a smuggler , a slaver , a spice - jacker , and a garbage tech aboard a media cruiser . Lando Calrissian had constantly joked that Sazz would even haul unshielded antimatter for the right price , until Sazz took it seriously and kept pestering Calrissian to see if he had any . A crewmate of Sazz ' s once mocked the Ab ' Ugartte about his relationship with Grivooga . Sazz , not possessing much of a sense of humor , beat the crewmate to death with Grivooga and cooked them for a meal . This deterred future crewmates and partners from making quips about him and Grivooga . Sazz was present at the Byss Bistro in 10 ABY after Emperor Palpatine ' s resurrection in a clone body , and , later , shortly before the New Republic attack on the Emperor ' s Citadel on Byss . Personality and traits . Jak Sazz was well - known for his unhygienic lifestyle . He was never known to bathe and preferred consuming only live food . He was the subject of many jokes among his colleagues , though he had no sense of humor himself , and some argued that his continued existence was proof that entropy was winning in the universe . Despite this , many still respected Sazz ' s abilities . Sazz ' s close relationship with Grivooga was well - known , and many people made bets that he even carried the hydrospanner into the turboshower with him , though since there was never any evidence that Sazz had ever used a turboshower , many of these bets remained uncollected . Aside from being able to carry out almost any type of job , Sazz ' s other talents included cooking , astrogation , starship repair , and archaic starship piloting . Behind the scenes .
