Loo Re Anno Loo Re Anno was a female member of a four - armed species and a respected racer in the Dragon Void Run . Within the Dragon Void , she was acknowledged as both the greatest and eldest racer present . Biography . Early life . Loo Re Anno was born into an unknown species that was considered ancient as of the period of the Galactic Civil War . Her people loved to fly fast , although typically pilot s would fly alone . Her grandmother , a mapmaker , was one of the founding members of the Dragon Void Run , a dangerous race which would go on for many years . Choosing not to fly alone like others of her species , she hoped to create a community which would become a family , and something more , through racing and challenging one another . Because of this , Loo Re ' s species changed , its culture becoming united by this ideal , and the race no longer sought solitary pleasures . Instead , her people saw the Dragon Void as a sacred rite that demanded their betterment . Among her people , a spacefarer ' s heart , and the loyalty of their crew , often proved enough . Despite this , Loo Re chose to ignore her grandmother ' s lessons , and shunned both friendship and community in pursuit of self - discovery through solitude . Believing strength lay in isolation , Loo Re began flying alone , and her ship and the star s became her home . Ultimately , her entire race dwindled down with the help of outsiders , and embarked on an exodus to depart the galaxy for another realm . Building a Gate which lay at the end of the Dragon Void Run , they entered the seams between space and time , disappearing from the outside world . Not permitted to join the rest of her species beyond the Gate , Loo Re became the last of her kind in the galaxy . The last race . Loo Re became known as the greatest racer in the galaxy , as well as the oldest and the last of her species , as of the Dragon Void Run attended by Han Solo during the Age of the Empire . Having grown tired of being alone , save for the company of her witness es , she intended for the race to be her last , expecting to either win or die , and her fellow competitors all took bets on the the competition being her final Run . She intervened in an altercation between newcomer Han Solo and Delan Vook , daring the racers to question her skill , and mused that perhaps Solo had the heart to win the race . As the race began , the pilots found themselves under attack from explosive probes and mine s , although Loo Re reassured her witnesses by remaining calm , choosing not to run her engine s after realizing the mines were only targeting ships that were powered up . Solo followed her example , and Loo Re attached a line to the Corellian ' s " Millennium Falcon " , using his momentum to carry her vessel through the static barrier to safety . Uncoupling , Loo Re thanked Solo , and sped towards a brief respite on the next planet . Upon landing , Loo Re learned that Vook had fired on the " Millennium Falcon " during the struggle through the minefield , and reminded the Pantoran of the Dragon Void ' s codes of conduct . She informed Solo that he could file a complaint against Vook , which would result in Vook ' s disqualification , but Solo believed that the race was more important than revenge — a lesson Loo Re hoped Vook would take to heart . An intervention by the Galactic Empire found the racer s briefly arrested , which Loo Re took in her stride , although she became perturbed when the Imperial officer Tomine threatened her friends . Fortunately Solo came to her defense , and the race organizers convinced Tomine to let the racers return to their run . Departing the planet , Loo Re was contacted by Solo , who asked about the witness which had become attached to him ; Loo Re informed him that she was in his debt for saving her friends , and vowed to speak further on the other side of the trial ahead . The racers embarked on a grueling twelve - hour slog through a debris field , which required every ounce of their focus to see through . Loo Re persevered even while racers such as Nadem Naz disqualified themselves from the challenge . Once the pilots were whittled down to only a handful , Loo Re and her fellow competitors were allowed an hour to refuel on the next planet . There , Loo Re ' s friend saved Solo from snooping cam droid s by destroying the units , allowing him to rendezvous with the Rebel spy Dorae . However , the witness became concerned and went to fetch Loo Re , who boarded the " Falcon " along with the Twi ' lek Starshot Team to interrupt a tense confrontation between Solo , Dorae , and Chewbacca . Not wishing to add further drama to the race , Loo Re helped diffuse the stand - off , and asked Solo for a private moment . She questioned him about his reasons for racing the Dragon Void , and recognized many of the traits of her own people in the young pilot . Solo sympathized with Loo Re for no longer having any of her kind to fly alongside , but the ancient being replied that , by flying with Solo , she was no longer alone . Beginning the final leg of the race , however , Loo Re was confronted by an Imperial Star Destroyer above the planet . Remaining calm , she opened communications with the rest of the pilots , reminding them that the race was not yet over . Loo Re rallied the remaining ships , activating an energy field around her vessel which opened a window into the seams between space and time , releasing a creature which began devouring the Imperial ships . Putting distance between themselves and the Empire , the racers entered the last and most dangerous trial of the Dragon Void , combating a region of space that quickly drained a ship ' s fuel . Loo Re entered into a final race for the Gate against Solo , flying neck and neck towards the ancient portal with Imperial pilots firing upon both vessels from behind . Loo Re ' s ship took damage , forcing her to fall behind until Solo deliberately veered away from the Gate to attack the pursuing ships head - on , and allowing her to win the race . Exultant at being able to return home , Loo Re flew through the portal , disappearing into the seams between space and time to reunite with her people . Finally permitted to rejoin her species , Loo Re marshaled the vessels of her kind to help Solo one final time . Activating the Gate from the other side , Loo Re returned to the galaxy at the head of her fleet , which fired upon the Empire as the remaining racers fled into the Gate . While Solo and the others returned to the start of the race , Loo Re herself remained with her people and her witnesses , appearing to have vanished from the galaxy . Personality and traits .
