Bo - Dum Bo - Dum was a member of the Hutt species and a minor crime lord . With his fellow Hutt Rarsk , Bo - Dum imposed his rule on a planet of the Outer Rim Territories for a time . Ultimately , the two Hutts were defeated by Han Solo , the famous Corellian smuggler , and his co - pilot Chewbacca . Biography . Early career . Bo - Dum was part of the Hutts , a species of rotund , hermaphroditic gastropod s that were reputed for dabbling in shady business throughout the galaxy . He and his partner Rarsk were once part of the Hutt Cartel , a crime syndicate and an alliance between several Hutt clans , but the two were evicted from the organization . Unable to buy their way back into the Cartel , the two low - life Hutts came to impose their law to a planet of the Outer Rim Territories that had a Corellian settlement . They notably had some of their thugs kill the sheriff of the settlement so that the colonists found themselves without a lawman to protect them . Additionally , Bo - Dum took a fancy to Jenna , the late sheriff ' s daughter . The Hutt ' s interest in the young woman , however , was far from reciprocated . Meeting the Corellian Kid . At some point , the famous Corellian smuggler Han Solo and his Wookiee co - pilot Chewbacca crashed on the planet aboard their ship , the " Millennium Falcon " . A trio of pirate drones owned by the Hutts managed to shoot the " Falcon " down , although its crew survived . Unbeknownst to Bo - Dum and his partner , Jenna convinced Solo to help the settlers to get rid of the Hutts . Meanwhile , Bo - Dum and Rarsk learned that the ship their drones had shot earlier was salvageable , but were not informed of its owner ' s identity . Upon arriving to the Corellian settlement , Bo - Dum discovered that Jenna was waiting for him . He attempted to molest her , but was interrupted by the growl of Chewbacca , whom Jenna described as the new sheriff . As Bo - Dum did not wish to confront a Wookiee , he retreated to the local cantina with Rarsk so they could make new plans . While the Hutts were discussing , a masked individual who called himself " the Corellian Kid " informed them that the crashed ship was that of Han Solo . Knowing that one of their fellow Hutts , Jabba Desilijic Tiure , had put a price on Solo ' s head , Bo - Dum and Rarsk decided to hire the Corellian Kid , promising that he would get forty percent of the bounty after salvaging the " Millennium Falcon " ' s wreck . The next day by dawn , Bo - Dum , Rarsk and the Corellian Kid embarked for the crash site on board of a landspeeder . Once they arrived , it became obvious that the whole bargain was a trap . Not only were the Corellian settlers waiting for them in arms , but the " Falcon " had been repaired to its full working order . The so - called Corellian Kid , who was none other than Solo in disguise , left the Hutts alone in their vehicle a split second before the settlers attacked . Emerging from his now battered repulsorcraft , Bo - Dum witnessed the " Millennium Falcon " taking off , taking Solo , Chewbacca and the Corellian settlers with it . Personality and traits . Hermaphroditic like all other members of his species , Bo - Dum nonetheless possessed a masculine personality . He was known to have had a lust for at least one female Human , a preoccupation that most other Hutts regarded as both perverse and inexplicable . As with all Hutts , Bo - Dum was large and plump . He had yellow eyes and green skin . While the Hutts were not defenseless , with their tails that could be used as weapons to bludgeon their enemies to death , Bo - Dum was too cowardly to engage in a fight against Chewbacca . On at least one occasion , Bo - Dum made use of hypocritical humor , noting how " sorry " he was upon " hearing " of the demise of Jenna ' s father . Equipment . Bo - Dum wore a purple pauldron on the right shoulder and a chunky bracelet on the wrist of the corresponding arm . He also sported various tattoos on the belly , tail , chest area and around the eyes . Behind the scenes . Bo - Dum first appeared in " The Corellian Kid " , a comic written by Chris Cooper and illustrated by Andres Ponce , which was published in 2014 in " Star Wars Comic 11 " .
