Bib Fortuna / Legends Bib Fortuna was a male Twi ' lek from Ryloth . Bib served as a majordomo to Jabba Desilijic Tiure for many years . Considering he served Jabba for decades , it is unsurprising that few in the galaxy hated the Hutt as much as he did — the Twi ' lek majordomo had tried many times unsuccessfully to have Jabba killed . A member of the Una Clan , Bib Fortuna was friendly with many B ' omarr monks in Jabba ' s Palace — when he died , his brain was forcibly removed from his body by the ancient religious order , and placed in a jar for the enlightenment process . Biography . Early life . At some point in the past , Bib Fortuna was found guilty of exporting Ryll and was cast out of Twi ' lek society . He then tried to enter the corporation of Kuat Drive Yards , but his untrustworthiness had him expelled from the planet of Kuat and he had a period of other employments involving spice smuggling . Jabba found him and asked for his assistance smuggling for him . When it was evident he may be caught again , he asked for a bigger position in Jabba ' s businesses . He soon worked with Naroon Cuthus and Bidlo Kwerve . Fortuna attended the Boonta Eve Classic of 32 BBY with his employer , who hosted the event . He stood at Jabba ' s side through the Hutt ' s welcome to all the contestants and spectators who attended the event . He witnessed Anakin Skywalker win the race securing the young boy ' s freedom from a life of slavery . At the conclusion of the race , he was forced to wake Jabba who had fallen asleep sometime after the second lap . Afterwards , he was present on Coruscant as an aide to Senator Orn Free Taa during the Galactic Senate ' s hearing . After Queen Amidala of Naboo pressed for a Vote of No Confidence in Finis Valorum ' s position as Supreme Chancellor , Fortuna further encouraged the Senate for an immediate vote . At some point in time , he returned to Ryloth seeking his revenge and ransacking seven cities , capturing most members and selling them into slavery for Jabba . While finding loot for himself he came across Nat Secura and his mother , who chastised him for his actions , cursing his name . The insult resulted in Fortuna executing her and taking Secura under his wing , though he was horribly scarred . Fortuna only took Secura as a way to take over Ryloth for himself in the future , using the good name of Clan Secura . It was noted that he preyed on other members of his society . He had captured and trained several dancers for Jabba the Hutt , one of which was the human Jess . After he was cast out , other Twi ' leks began breaking his name into two distinct parts as a way of symbolizing that he was cast out . Fortuna was able to procure the rancor for his master ' s birthday , which was being transported from its home on Dathomir to an unknown destination but crashed on Tatooine . Jabba was so pleased with the gift he offered Fortuna and Bidlo Kwerve two choices of gift — the position of majordomo and some greater gift known to history . Fully knowing what Jabba intended , Fortuna accepted the role of majordomo , while Kwerve was fed to the rancor . Fortuna was able to secure the services of Malakili , a famous beast handler from the Circus Horrificus to take care of the beast . The Valsedian operation . During the first year of the Clone Wars , the Confederacy of Independent Systems set up a secret mining facility on the ore - rich Valsedian asteroid belt , deep inside Hutt Space . It was there that the male Twi ' lek worked , likely in a position of administrator . While the facility was very isolated , the Separatist operations there did not go unnoticed ; a Hutt crime lord Jabba Desilijic Tiure learned about it , and suspected that it was sold to the Confederacy by his distant cousin , Torpo . This violated the terms of a treaty between the Hutts and the Galactic Republic , and Jabba informed the Republic of the situation , which led to a team of Jedi being sent to investigate the asteroid belt to ascertain the existence of the mining installation . The Twi ' lek administrator was working with a datapad while walking near the entrance of the facility exactly at the same time when Jedi Masters Obi - Wan Kenobi and Keelyvine Reus entered the base . Reus acted quickly , captured the flinched Twi ' lek and used a mind trick on him , ordering him to take the Jedi to his master . However , the administrator revealed that his master was not present at anywhere near the asteroid belt . Before the interrogation could continue , Kenobi sensed that the team ' s padawan members , who had took an alternate route inside the facility , were in danger and rushed to aid them . Reus bound the Twi ' lek at the nearby tubes with stun cuffs , and questioned him more closely . She suspected that Torpo was the master of the administrator , and asked about the whereabouts of the Hutt . The Twi ' lek confused the Jedi by stating that while his master was gone , Torpo was inside the facility . Before Reus could learn more , she was suddenly attacked by Confederacy assassin Asajj Ventress , who challenged her to a lightsaber duel . The pair engaged each other , leaving the still - bound Twi ' lek behind . In the service of Jabba . Five years before the Battle of Yavin , Fortuna recruited six of Jabba ' s lesser minions , including Nivek , to kill Jabba ' s guards and make him tell all of his secrets for him , even under torture . Unfortunately , shortly after they started putting the plan into action , Gru ' um and Miramba unleashed a bunch of frecker s , spoiling it . Fortuna and his co - conspirators managed to kill all the freckers , who during the struggle slew all but Fortuna . Later , Jabba thanked Fortuna for being loyal to him , being a hero and risking his life for Jabba . Fortuna couldn ' t kill Jabba , after this . When an undercover ISB agent infiltrated Jabba ' s Palace by posing as a smuggler , it wasn ' t long before Fortuna approached him in the main hall and invited the agent to his personal office . There , he offered the " smuggler " to talk about his experience in career . However , the undercover identity was not good enough for someone as deep in the business as Fortuna . He soon realized that his collocutor was lying and ordered the guard to toss him to the rancor . The intruder , however , managed to fight his way off and escape . In 4 ABY Fortuna had procured the services of a dancer called Oola , a naïve Twi ' lek girl who was partnered with another girl called Sienn ' rha . The two were being taken to Jabba ' s palace by a thug called Jerris Rudd when they were intercepted by Luke Skywalker , who killed Rudd and freed Sienn , but Oola refused to go , wanting to see what life was like in the palace . Skywalker and Fortuna shared a brief conversation where Skywalker told Fortuna that his way of life was wrong and his depredations on his own people would only lead to ruin . He promised that the Rebel Alliance would be able to protect Ryloth from the Empire and for a brief moment , Fortuna strongly considered the young Jedi ' s words . But realism took a grip and Fortuna dismissed Skywalker ' s offer . As Oola was willing to return to Jabba ' s palace with Fortuna , Skywalker let the two go . Bib Fortuna ' s role at the palace included receiving visitors . C - 3PO and R2 - D2 encountered Fortuna when they arrived with a gift for Jabba . Fortuna demanded they give the gift to him , however the droids insisted they were to present the gift to Jabba personally . Fortuna acquiesced and led them into the throne room where R2 - D2 played Jabba a message from Luke Skywalker . Skywalker requested that Jabba bargain for the body of Han Solo , encased in carbonite . Skywalker ' s " gift " was the two droids themselves . Jabba refused to bargain , however , but kept the droids . Soon after , Bib was seen in the company of Jess , a talented musician hoping to leave Jabba ' s palace by joining a band . She stroked his lekku and he reciprocated the gesture by leading her around the throne room by hand . She was again seen in Bib ' s company when the dancing girl Oola was fed to the Rancor . Bib later left the musician to slumber alone on Jabba ' s dais , as he lay in wait with his master , ready to spring the trap as Leia Organa , disguised as Boushh , released Han Solo from carbonite . After the unsuccessful attempt by Princess Leia Organa to free Han Solo , Luke Skywalker himself came to the palace . Fortuna was given orders that he was not to be admitted into the palace . Jabba did not foresee however that his majordomo would be weak - minded enough to fall for his Jedi Mind Tricks . After leading Skywalker to Jabba , Jabba became furious at Fortuna and knocked him off his throne . When Skywalker was able to defeat Jabba ' s rancor , he , Han Solo and Chewbacca would be thrown into the Great Pit of Carkoon . Bib Fortuna accompanied Jabba the Hutt to the executions on his Sail Barge . The Jedi and his friends proved more than Jabba ' s forces could handle and as such , his Barge was destroyed . After Jabba ' s death . As Jabba ' s sail barge exploded , Fortuna escaped on a private skiff and returned to the palace to take over . He fought a small battle over the remainder of Jabba ' s possessions , and was the apparent winner . However , soon the mysterious B ' omarr monks who inhabited the cellars removed his brain from his body and placed it in a spider - droid walker , much as the monks themselves used . Six months after the events at Endor , a Twi ' lek by the name of Firith Olan received Fortuna ' s messages that he ' d been secretly sending and arrived on Tatooine to claim Jabba ' s treasures . Olan uncovered clues that an Imperial Agent by the name of Lirin Banolt knew of the final location of the missing " Strike " - class medium cruiser , the " Eidolon " . Olan knew that if he were to take possession of the ship , his personal power would increase greatly . However , the " Eidolon " was a fake — Sate Pestage had a fake built and destroyed it while in hyperspace . The real purpose of the " Eidolon " was a hidden base on Tatooine , which Pestage could escape to . Olan used Fortuna ' s computer skills to unlock the location of various weapons caches scattered over Tatooine and was able to take control of at least 64 TIE Interceptors . Rogue Squadron had been tasked by Admiral Ackbar with investigating events on Tatooine and uncovered the plot while enjoying the hospitality of Huff Darklighter . By this time , the Imperials began poking around led by Marl Semtin and destroyed Olan ' s TIE ' s . Olan tried to hide on Ryloth from his enemies and tried to abandon Fortuna on the planet but he was able to stow away on Wedge Antilles ' ship and return to Tatooine . Marl Semtin was tasked with securing the Eidolon Base and capturing Olan — he planned to put Olan in charge of the base given his underworld connections . Rogue Squadron attacked Eidolon Base , Olan panicked and Semtin stabbed him . Olan fled the base but ran right into Fortuna outside who took the wounded Twi ' lek back to Jabba ' s Palace . He somehow managed to convince the monks to place his brain in the body of Olan , using the same techniques that got him in the walker in the first place . Then with Olan ' s resources at his disposal along with the credits he embezzled from Jabba over the years , Fortuna began rebuilding Jabba ' s criminal empire , and was able to continue on in the criminal underworld . Personality and traits . Bib Fortuna was a tall , white - skinned Twi ' lek with two fat lekku — tentacular appendages that grew out of the back of his head — which he wore often draped over his shoulders for decorative effect . His visage displayed a high bony crest , a knobby brow , bright red eyes , and a fanged mouth . The front of the neck displayed a large goiter , like many other male Twi ' lek — including the ancient Sith Lord Kopecz , the Imperial Dark Jedi Boc Aseca and the Rebel X - wing pilot Nawara Ven . According to Twi ' lek standards , Fortuna was considered " darkly elegant " and attractive , notably due to his thick lekku . He often wore traditional black robes made from Jalavash Worm silk , which accentuated his natural paleness , along with half - gloves and studded slaver wristbands . A pair of soft - soled shoes allowed the Twi ' lek to walk down the corridors of Jabba ' s palace as silently as a wraith . He also kept a poisoned dagger concealed in the folds of his robes . In addition to his native Rylothean , Bib Fortuna also spoke Huttese , and he could at least understand Galactic Basic Standard , the " common tongue " of the civilized galaxy . When he became Jabba ' s majordomo , Fortuna grew even more power - hungry . He came to believe he would acquire the wealth and influence necessary to conquer Ryloth and mold his fellow Twi ' leks into the kinds of subjects the Empire valued — spies , bounty hunters and mercenaries . By saving his race from " exotic slavery " , Bib Fortuna hoped he would bring back honor to his name and that of his ancestors . Fortuna had been among the first to attract the attention of the Empire to Ryloth by selling ryll spice off - world . While he had thought the Twi ' leks would adapt to life in the wider Empire , they did not . His own people had come to hate him utterly , but he still wished to bring them out of the horrors of slavery . He also performed a ritual of where he listed to himself each of the day ' s annoyances he had experienced every night before he slept . Behind the scenes . In " " , Bib Fortuna was played by Michael Carter and voiced uncredited by the late Erik Bauersfeld , who also voiced Admiral Ackbar in the film . For " " , Alan Ruscoe was initially cast to play the character in a scene in the Senate , however , this scene was cut , and he was later portrayed by Matthew Wood for his appearance on Tatooine . Bib Fortuna actor , Michael Carter via an interview on TheForce . Net , has alluded to several cut scenes from " Return of the Jedi " that involved Jess and Salacious B . Crumb . Some of these scenes appear in " " . During several scenes in " Return of the Jedi " , Bib Fortuna can be heard speaking something which can be interpreted as a twisted form of English , suggesting that he spoke a heavy dialect of Galactic Basic . In earlier drafts of " Return of the Jedi " , Fortuna ' s title was the ' High Beeser of Hoth ' . Bib Fortuna ' s first words in " Return of the Jedi " , " Die Wanna Wanga " are frequently quoted by underworld characters in " Star Wars " video games , most notably in " " and " " . It is also said by Gragra to Jar Jar Binks in " The Phantom Menace " . In " Best Birthday Ever " it is said that his full name is " Bib " Oltwaxt " Fortuna " . In the webcomic " " , a Twi ' lek administrator was seen that resembled Bib Fortuna , although he was not identified . Tom Hodges later confirmed that the administrator was indeed intended to be Bib Fortuna .
