Aldar Beedo / Legends Aldar Beedo , sometimes known as the " Hit Man , " was a Glymphid male who worked as an assassin , bounty hunter , and Podracer pilot during the final decades of the Galactic Republic . Sadistic and cruel in nature , Beedo offered his services to whomever could offer the biggest cash reward , accepting jobs that ranged from killing high profile targets to acting as a bodyguard . When competing in Podraces , he flew a blue " MARK IV " Flat - Twin Turbojet , which was more renowned for its size rather than its racing capabilities . Beedo hired himself out to other Podracers who needed jobs done on the track , and the massive Turbojet was generally the right craft for the job . Sometime before 32 BBY , Aldar Beedo ' s skill as an assassin was called upon by a smuggler who needed a rival crime lord disposed of . The target was the Fluggrian Borzu Nale , and Beedo accepted the job . However , the contract brought upon several aspects of attention to Beedo , most notably the ire of Nale ' s son , Kam Nale . Beedo later raced in 32 BBY ' s Boonta Eve Classic race on the Outer Rim world of Tatooine . Unbeknownst to Beedo , Kam Nale had followed him to Tatooine , where Nale hoped to kill the Glymphid . Meanwhile , Beedo had also signed onto a partnership with the Devlikk Wan Sandage , and together they planned to kill Sandage ' s nemesis , the Dug Boonta champion Sebulba . The hit failed , as Beedo never caught up to Sebulba . In addition , Sandage crashed into a sandcrawler , which would have wasted the Glymphid ' s effort if he had destroyed Sebulba . Not backing down from the contract , Beedo and Sandage tried again during the following race located on the planet of Malastare , the Vinta Harvest Classic . Beedo tried to kill Sebulba twice : first during a preliminary race , and again during the main event . Complications arose both times , disallowing the completion of the assignment . Eventually , Sandage passed away due to his health , and Beedo opted to drop the contract . Instead , he went to work for his former target as a bodyguard for the 24 BBY racing season . Beedo and Sebulba became a formidable team , with Beedo competing in all three major circuits , racking up a heavy list of opponent takedowns . The Glymphid also found popularity on the planet of Gamorr , where his violent racing style earned him the crowd ' s favor . However , the partnership was not to last , as Nale , under the guise of hardcore Podracer " Elan Mak , " was hot on Beedo ' s trail . Nale eventually reclaimed his father ' s criminal empire and used his family funds to hire mercenaries to track the elusive Glymphid down . Beedo was finally captured by one of the mercenaries on the marshy jungle world of Baroonda while participating in a Podrace , and was brought back to Nale to face a long awaited retribution . Biography . The " Hit Man " . Hailing from Ploo II . Born on the the Expansion Region planet of Ploo II , the young Glymphid male Aldar Beedo was born into a time of unrest for his world located in the Ploo sector . The Glymphids were caught up in a long lasting war with the neighboring world of Ploo IV , home to a squat species of amphibians known as Fluggrians . The Fluggrians were well known for their tight knit crime families , and hated the rod - thin Glymphids just as much as the Glymphids hated them . Out of the violent turmoil Beedo rose through the ranks of hired assassins , growing into a cruel and sadistic individual who found himself offering his services to whomever could pay the most money . As if his current path of thrill seeking was not enough , Aldar Beedo also took up the dangerous sport of Podracing . Beedo found that the world of Podracing was just as much in need of assassins and guns - for - hire than anyone else , and that the racing itself would serve as an extra form of profit . Purchasing a Manta RamAir " MARK IV " Flat - Twin Turbojet and painting it blue , Beedo brought what piloting skills he had into the dangerous sport . Even though the vehicle lacked a strong accelerator at the time , the vehicle had a tremendous boost package to bring the vehicle out onto the forefront , topped on with incredible handling . In addition , the massive engines made it both a viable and intimidating adversary on the track . With his aggressive racing style , Beedo eventually earned the nickname " Hit Man , " a title that unwittingly pointed at Beedo ' s other violent profession . Deep in hot water . By 32 BBY , a smuggler by the name of Orin Nyell was making it big in the form of smuggling water to the planet of Sernpidal . The water , however , was coming straight from Ploo IV , and was an especially big detriment to the activities of the Fluggrian crime lord Borzu Nale . Needing to eliminate the competition , Nyell sought out Beedo , the Glymphid hitman - turned - Podracer pilot , and hired him to pull the job of eliminating the head of the Nale crime family . Aldar Beedo accepted the job , and it wasn ' t long before Borzu was dead , Beedo ' s coffers filled , and Nyell free to conduct his business . With that chapter seemingly closed , Aldar Beedo went back to focusing on his racing career . While considered a second - rate pilot , Beedo still managed to make a name for himself on the ice world of Ando Prime . Beedo turned into a natural ice racer , due in part to his RamAir ' s excellent traction , and eventually became the track favorite on a course known as Beedo ' s Wild Ride , a course named in the Glymphid ' s honor after having taken the course by storm with the three lap record time of " 03 : 16 . 697 " minutes . The " Hit Man " soon worked his way up as one of the most aggressive pilots in the entire sport , brutishly ramming any other pilot who dared go near him . As his brutal antics gained him fame and fortune in the snow dunes of Ando Prime , a chapter thought to be previously closed suddenly opened again without the Glymphid ' s notice . When Beedo had done away with Borzu Nale , the Glymphid failed to take into account the factor that was Borzu ' s son , Kam Nale . Kam Nale had been grievously tracking down his father ' s killer for some time , for the most part without a name to follow . When Beedo entered into the Boonta Eve Classic of 32 BBY , Nale soon after identified Beedo as the killer , and the chase was on . Nale followed Beedo to the Boonta race on Tatooine , planning to enter the race himself and dispose of Beedo on the track . However , Nale wasn ' t the only one on the hunt . Orin Nyell had learned of Kam Nale ' s existence , and fearing that the young Fluggrian may try to retake control of his father ' s empire , Nyell hired the rookie bounty hunter Rango Tel to take care of Nale once and for all . Boonta Eve Classic . Dug hunt . The Boonta Eve Classic of Tatooine was an annual event where Podracer pilots from all corners of the galaxy came to test their skills on Tatooine ' s harsh desert terrain , and it was there that Beedo put both his racing and assassin skills to the test . Both seasoned professionals and newcomers participated in the race on a regular basis , though the crowd favorite was the vicious Dug pilot Sebulba , an individual that was known to employ various illegal weapons and tactics to gain the upper hand during any given race . However , Sebulba was also quite skillful in his own right , but both his skill and perverse racing style conjured up numerous enemies for him . One such enemy was the aging Devlikk playboy Wan Sandage . Devlikk ' s had notoriously short life spans , and at the age of six , Sandage believed that his chances of beating Sebulba in a race were diminishing too fast for comfort . The Devlikk figured he had one last card to play . Sandage had managed to learn of the killing of Borzu Nale , and at some point connected the dots and drew a picture of Beedo as the assassin . Learning that Beedo was also participating in the Boonta , Sandage sought the Glymphid out , locating him in the Tatooine city of Mos Espa , where the Boonta was to take place . On the eve of the Boonta race , many of the pilots had retired to Mos Espa ' s Poodoo Lounge to attend the glimmik concert that racer and two - time Boonta winner Boles Roor was conducting . Sandage approached Beedo while the latter was enjoying a drink and explained his predicament . Beedo listened to the Devlikk ' s story , though Beedo began to rebuke Sandage after the Devlikk informed Beedo about his knowledge of Borzu Nale . Sandage quickly offered a sum of one hundred thousand wupiupi to eliminate Sebulba during the race . Aware of Sebulba ' s brutal race tactics and the danger of the job , Beedo demanded a price of two hundred thousand wupiupi up front , which Sandage happily agreed to pay . Sebulba entered the lounge soon after , and both pilots quickly hushed up . While Sebulba wasn ' t aware of any names out to get him , he was wary of the possible attempts on his life , and quickly met up with his own hired gun , Dud Bolt . Bolt , like Beedo , worked as both a hit - man and a Podracer pilot . His job at this point though was as a bodyguard to Sebulba , and was just as dangerous as the others when on the track . Meanwhile , hidden in an apartment , Nale laid out his plan for Beedo in a recording . Having purchased a Podracer of his own , an outdated Kurtob KRT 410C , Nale planned to enter the Boonta using what money he could and shoot Beedo down during the race . In another meeting with Sandage , located at a bar known as Maggy the Gorgon ' s , Aldar Beedo noted that his usual fees stood at one hundred thousand truguts for any job , with fifty - thousand upfront and the final fifty - thousand upon completion of the job . Sandage , desperate , agreed to the additional fees . Fly hard or die hard . On the next morning , the racers assembled at the Mos Espa Grand Arena . Aldar Beedo ' s Podracer was one of the first on the grid , placed on the outside pole position of the first row , starting right next to Sebulba ' s massive orange Collor Pondrat Plug - F " Mammoth " Split - X Podracer . Dud Bolt was , in turn , right behind the both of them . Sandage , however , started in the last row of the pack on the outside position . Nale , having made it to the arena after a narrow encounter with Rango Tel that left the latter dead in the dust , started on the inside of the fourth row , having now changed his name to " Elan Mak " in hopes of avoiding the suspicions of Aldar Beedo . The race ' s host , Jabba the Hutt , began the race after the Troig race announcers , Fodesinbeed Annodue , conducted the opening ceremonies . With the Hutt ' s go ahead , the racers blasted out into the course for both victory and blood . Beedo and Mak quickly took positions behind Sebulba as the Dug viciously rammed the Gran contestant Mawhonic into a rock wall during the early moments of the race that sped through Mushroom Mesa . Sandage trailed behind the pack near the Xamster pilot Neva Kee . Sandage was quickly surpassed by the sole Human contestant , Anakin Skywalker , who had actually stalled during the race ' s opening moments . Mak remained in second place for a portion of the first lap , but hung back and landed behind Beedo . The Glymphid eventually ended up in third for the majority of the first lap , while Bolt stayed near the middle of the pack near the Nosaurian pilot Clegg Holdfast . Beedo eventually fell further behind , surpassed by Gasgano , Teemto Pagalies , Mars Guo , and Skywalker during the second lap . Sebulba held the lead for both laps one and two , though he was nearly surpassed by Holdfast . To counter the Nosaurian pilot , Sebulba roasted Holdfast ' s engines with an illegal flamethrower . When lap three hung around , Beedo had yet to make his way back to Sebulba and " Mak " was having difficulties shooting Beedo ' s Pod due to Ebe E . Endocott set between them . Sandage eventually flew off course and crashed into a wayward sandcrawler , ending his chances at victory . Bolt , meanwhile , had collided with the Nuknog pilot Ark Roose . Beedo eventually caught up to the top four — Sebulba , Guo , Skywalker , and Gasgano . Using a piece of debris , Sebulba clogged the engines of Guo , causing the Phuii pilot to wreck while moving Beedo a place ahead . Skywalker and Sebulba eventually became entangled in each others Pods , and Skywalker , upon accelerating to break off , totaled Sebulba . Beedo managed to place third with a a total time of " 15 : 52 . 108 " minutes while Skywalker attained victory . After the race ' s conclusion , Sebulba quickly purchased Skywalker ' s Podracer , and many of the pilots began to sign up for the next Podrace which was to be located on Malastare . While Sandage was angry for having crashed and being out - flown by Beedo , the Glymphid promised Sandage that he would finish the job on Malastare . Both pilots signed up for the Malastare race , and Mak , who had placed fifth in the Boonta behind Endocott , followed suite . Hunter hunted . Ace assassin . Malastare ' s Vinta Harvest Classic was known for a course that stretched through various terrains , including methane lakes , forests , and through the city of Pixelito . The Classic contained five elimination rounds that would see who would go on for the final and main event . The fifth and final run of the elimination rounds was a course known as the Phoebos Memorial Run , and Aldar Beedo had managed to stay alive long enough to participate . Wan Sandage and Elan Mak had also both successfully competed up to the Memorial Run , and both of them were still out to settle their own scores on the track . During the race ' s last lap , the Twi ' lek racer By ' t Distombe was in the lead with Sebulba trailing close behind , piloting the Pod he bought from Anakin Skywalker . Racing through a methane lake , the cam droids were having difficulty keeping the racers in focus . Aware of this , Sandage began pressuring Beedo to shoot Sebulba with his blaster . Beedo , piloting a Podracer similar to his " Mark IV " , refused , believing that the time was not right and that he didn ' t have a clear shot . Little did Beedo realize , though , was that Mak had taken a position above him and was preparing to fire his own blaster at the Glymphid . Neither of the gunmen were able to make their shot , though , as Sebulba made a quick dash for the lead ahead of Distombe . Sebulba threw an empty bottle of Vinta Harvest Ale behind him , which struck the Twi ' lek racer in the forehead . Distombe lost control and flew over a geyser which caused his cockpit to explode , launching Distombe through the air and forcing the other pilots to break off and avoid Distombe ' s loose engines . Sebulba won the round , with Sandage in second place , followed closely by Mak and Beedo . All four , having finished each of the elimination rounds , were on their way to competing in the main event of the Vinta Classic . Beedo , however , was no longer just working on Sandage ' s bounty . Taking place during the main event , the Jedi Council was attempting to help establish peace between the ruling powers of the planet Lannik and a terrorist faction known as the Red Iaro , who wished to overthrow the self - centered Lannik Prince , R ' cardo Sooflie IX . The Red Iaro , partnered with the Gran senator Aks Moe , needed the Jedi removed from the affair in order to successfully assassinate Sooflie . They were not the only ones looking to remove the prince , however . Another Lannik terrorist known as the Chosen One was also after the Prince and wished to see him die on Malastare . Beedo ' s reputation as a hired gun preceded him , and he was requested by the Chosen One to kill the Jedi Master Even Piell , a Lannik himself , during the upcoming race when the Jedi ' s speeders would pass through the course . The Iaro , however , had installed several members of their own , who would act as suicide bombers , onto the speeders . The main Podracing event included several former Boonta contestants , including Mawhonic and Teemto Pagalies , who had both survived their wrecks from the Boonta . Mawhonic acted as the local Gran favorite . As per Malastare tradition , the alien known only as Nugtosh climbed to the top of a spire and waved the racers off of the starting grid . The pilots darted off , with Beedo keeping Sebulba square in his sights . As planned , the Jedi ' s taxi speeder s had made their way into a portion of the track that wove through a Malastare city . The speeders carried the Jedi Council ambassadors , including Mace Windu , Piell , and Adi Gallia . Aldar Beedo narrowly missed the Jedi ' s speeders as he sped through the course , but slowed down in order to allow Sebulba to pass him . At this time , the suicide bombers attempted to kill the Jedi with explosive vests in order to prevent the Jedi from helping Prince Sooflie any further . They failed in killing the Jedi , and only managed to kill themselves and destroy their speeder , which caused the Jedi Masters to fall into the path of the oncoming racers . As Beedo started to aim for Sebulba , the Jedi managed to grab hold of the Dug ' s power - cables . After Sebulba forced them off , Gallia used a magnetic cable to latch onto Sebulba ' s cockpit . At this point Beedo made his move , firing his blaster pistol . The shot lagged behind , and missed Sebulba ' s pod entirely . Instead , he shot Gallia ' s line and sent the Jedi tumbling down to the ground below . The Jedi were rescued by another speeder , however , and as such Beedo failed to acquire either bounty . Sebulba later sped into and killed the Red Iaro leader Myk ' chur Finux Zug , who was attempting to escape the Jedi with a jetpack , thus ending the Red Iaro ' s efforts . Even with the collision , Sebulba managed to win the Vinta Classic entirely , escaping Sandage ' s and Beedo ' s murder attempts . Simultaneously , the " Hit Man " once again avoided the wrath of Mak . Shifting sights . In 26 BBY , the Galactic Games took place on the planet Euceron , and Aldar Beedo , Elan Mak , and Sebulba all managed to find their way there . Wan Sandage , however , was nowhere to be seen , having died in 29 BBY due to his age . Mak was still after Beedo , while the Glymphid sat in a transitional period due to Sandage ' s death . However , this time around , Sebulba wasn ' t racing . Sebulba ' s son Hekula had been moving up the playing field , and it was time for Hekula to prove to his father that he could race just as well as Sebulba could . Former Boonta contestants Ody Mandrell and Gasgano were also present within the Great Dordon Caves , where the illegal podrace was held , along with Podracer pilots " Scorch " Zanales and Will Neluenf . Also among the racers , and positioned next to Beedo ' s pit , was Ratts Tyerell ' s " Titan " 2150 Podracer , albeit no Ratts Tyerell . Having perished in his collision during the Boonta , his daughter Djulla was sold as a slave to Sebulba by her uncle in order to keep the family financially afloat . In a bid to reverse their uncle ' s doing , Tyerell ' s sons , Doby and Deland , took up Podracing themselves in hopes of winning enough money to buy their sister ' s freedom . Beedo was present when a scuffle broke out between Sebulba and the boys , with Boonta victor Anakin Skywalker , now a Jedi in training , caught in the middle . Annoyed , and with his concentration lost , Beedo intervened and threatened all of them with a blaster . Sebulba was partially bested by Skywalker in the scuffle due to the boy ' s Jedi abilities , and Doby warned that Beedo could face the same defeat . The Glymphid was completely unfazed by the threat . When Djulla attempted to intervene , the fight worsened and Deland ' s arm was broken by Sebulba . Beedo , decidedly no longer concerned by this " family matter , " left the group alone to prepare for the upcoming race . The " Hit Man " now found himself up against Skywalker for a second time , as the Jedi had stepped in for the injured Deland . The race started off with Skywalker and Hekula quickly starting their bid for first . Aldar Beedo followed close behind Mandrell with Mak in tow , but Mandrell failed to make the next turn . Mak surged forward , seeing the chance to kill his father ' s murderer . Mak swung out and in front of Beedo in an attempt to cut the Glymphid off , successfully smashing Beedo into the ground , but forcing the other contestants to scramble to avoid hitting them ; the Fluggrian ' s success was also limited , however , as his pod was caught in the collision as well . Both racers , crawling from the wreckage and rushing to the sidelines to escape the danger of the track , commenced to accuse and blame each another for the crash . Beedo soon left Euceron , leaving Mak empty handed yet again . By 24 BBY , Wan Sandage Jr . had picked up the fallen reigns of his father to continue Sandage ' s racing legacy . By that point , Beedo had finally severed his ties with the Sandage family , and he quit the contract to kill Sebulba . Instead , the " Hit Man " went to work for the Dug . To the end . Approval for violence . Dud Bolt had found himself falling out of favor with Sebulba , and the Vulptereen bodyguard ' s days were severely numbered . Finally , Bolt was indeed ousted from the coveted position of Sebulba ' s bodyguard , and that ' s where Aldar Beedo stepped in . Sebulba had eventually come aware of Beedo ' s continuous hits , and decided it was time buy out the Glymphid for himself . With two of the most dangerous racers together , it was their turn to take the 24 BBY race season by storm , where everyone had scores to settle . Once again , Anakin Skywalker had returned to the Podracing circuits , having re - secured his old Podracer from Sebulba and Hekula . Sebulba had a new toy , however — a massive Plug - F " Gargantuan " Split - X Podracer , painted black . Sebulba was out for a Jedi ' s blood , and planned to secure it on the race course . Beedo was present to aid Dug in his quest , while keeping a heavy roster of enemies at bay . Bolt had since sworn eternal hatred against both Beedo and Sebulba , and had souped up his skills and pod in order to run both enemy pilots into the ground . After his devastating crash during the Boonta years in the past , Mawhonic had since posted numerous bounties on Sebulba ' s relatives as an act of revenge , and Gasgano was out to prove himself to everyone after gaining the financial backing of Jabba the Hutt . Sebulba also had an interest in Teemto Pagalies , who in years past had attempted to run off with his masseuse , Ann Gella . With the racers stronger , faster , and deadlier than ever , the " Hit Man " had his hands full . Making matters worse , Elan Mak was blasting away on the race courses , still on his hunt for the elusive Glymphid . As the season started off , Beedo took part in all three major Podracing circuits for that year ; the Galactic Trials , the Podracing Open , and the Hutt Championships , making his way onto knockout charts almost everywhere . In the Trials , Beedo ravaged the Mos Espa Open on Tatooine , gaining the second top position for most knockouts during a single race with three total knockouts . Skywalker meanwhile held all of the course ' s top speed records . On the planet of Sullust , Beedo managed to score the second best time for a three lap race for the SoroSuub Facility course , standing with a time of " 03 : 53 . 30 " minutes . Aldar Beedo was particularly successful on the world of Gamorr , where he placed several speed records and topped the knockout chart with a total of five knockouts for a single race on the course Watchtower Run . The " Hit Man " secured his fame by elevating his status to the course ' s favored pilot . Meanwhile , Mawhonic was making waves in the Podracing Open , becoming the track favorite for a Ryloth course known as the Brightlands . With that , Aldar Beedo stepped in , taking the top position for most knockouts and the second best three lap record , beating out Mawhonic on both levels by one position . As the Open continued , the circuit weaved back to Tatooine , to Gasgano ' s favored course , the Badlands . Beedo and Sebulba took the course by storm , topping both the best three lap race times and the knockout chart . Gasgano held the best time for a single lap however , while Beedo held the third best time , standing at " 01 : 17 . 19 " minutes . Beedo also savaged the knockout chart for the Mon Calamari race course known as the Ballast Complex , with a total of four knockouts for a single race . The final race of the Podracing Open returned to Gamorr , where Beedo scored the third best three lap speed record . Beedo ' s success on Gamorr continued with The Citadel race course , where Beedo was second only to the tough " Scorch " Zanales , whom Beedo raced against back on Euceron , for the best three lap record . The Glymphid was also second on the knockout chart with a total of two knockouts . Returning to Ryloth , Aldar Beedo came across the chance to appear twice on the same record chart . For the Nightlands race course , Beedo held both the second and third positions on the knockout chart , standing with scores of two knockouts and one knockout respectively . Throughout the course of the 24 BBY season , Beedo was the only known racer to hold a double standing . Beedo ' s career was not without its pitfalls , however . At least twice during the season Beedo ' s pod was destroyed during a race . While racing on a course that wove through a sprawling city , Beedo attempted to destroy the racer of Wan Sandage Jr , but instead collided into the pilot Kraid Nemmeso while Sandage flew off unharmed . During a race on Tatooine , Beedo attempted to go after Skywalker , but was bested by the Jedi when Skywalker pushed Beedo into a large boulder that was blocking a part of the course . Sebulba had a similar encounter with Skywalker on Sullust . While racing through tight hallway filled with piping , Skywalker slammed Sebulba into a wall , causing the Dug to lose all control and crash . While neither Beedo nor Sebulba were able to kill Skywalker , the " Hit Man " at some point tossed a wrench into Pagalies ' starboard pod , causing the Veknoid to wreck , which ended up costing Pagalies an arm . Capture on Baroonda . Aldar Beedo was still very much active on the course by 22 BBY , where racing arrived on the Galactic Republic ' s capital city of Coruscant , among other locations . Elan Mak was still relentlessly on the hunt , but the encounter with bounty hunter Rango Tel from so many years before had left the Fluggrian scared . Mak realized that he may never personally get to kill Beedo either on or off the track . Temporarily ditching the pseudonym he had been using since 32 BBY , Kam Nale returned to his home in order to pick up the pieces of his father ' s criminal empire . With brand new funds at his disposal , Nale hired a cache of bounty hunters and mercenaries to track Beedo down and capture him alive . One such mercenary was quick to get on the Glymphid ' s tail , and followed him to the jungle world of Baroonda . Baroonda ' s Fire Mountain Rally was in full swing , and the " Hit Man " was in attendance . Eying up the shot , the mercenary fired his ranged weapon and brought Beedo down on the track right in front of the cameras . The mercenary arrested Aldar Beedo and eventually made it back to Nale , where Beedo was finally going to face his long awaited retribution . However , with the public capture of Beedo , things were not bound to stay quiet . Nale had continued to race , and it wasn ' t long before " Elan Mak " was undermined , and Nale was exposed as a crime lord to the public . However , the seedy capture of Aldar Beedo and the truth behind " Mak " were only two of the issues that put the future of Podracing into serious question . Despite , the capture and the HoloNet news reports , both Mak and Beedo returned to Podracing later in the year . Sebulba and Beedo were now publicly realized as a racing team , with Beedo filling in as the pilot due to Sebulba ' s retirement . Sebulba was becoming disgruntled , however , with the Nosaurian pilot Clegg Holdfast and needed the " Podracing Quarterly " reporter disposed of for good , as Holdfast had been steadily providing aid to an up and coming team known as Team Watto . Once again , Beedo was right for the job , and it was during a race on Coruscant when Beedo caught up to Holdfast on the track and repeatedly attacked him . Holdfast held his ground for much of the single - lap race , but was bested near the end of the race . Holdfast was killed in the resulting crash . Personality and traits . Aldar Beedo was a cold , sadistic individual and was regarded as one of the more aggressive Podracers ever to take to the Podracing circuits . The Glymphid showed no qualms about accepting hits , though he would decline an assignment he perceived as too dangerous unless the buyer offered a higher payout . Once on the job , Beedo showed that he wasn ' t the kind to back off of a contract until it was completed , thus bestowing on him a kind of hunter ' s honor . However , while working for Wan Sandage , and with failed hit after failed hit on Sebulba , the Glymphid ended up jumping ship after Sandage ' s death . Beedo wasn ' t particularly intimidated easily , and despite a hesitance to off Sebulba , he accepted the job and wasn ' t afraid to risk his Podracing career by using various illegal methods to bring Sebulba down on the race track . At the same time , the " Hit Man " had no qualms about using his own vehicle as a weapon , and again , he wasn ' t afraid to do so . He wasn ' t even intimidated by the threat of a Jedi , as proven during his confrontation with Anakin Skywalker on Euceron . To Beedo , no one was better than the other once they were dead , and whatever they accomplished in their past life did not matter in the end . He only left Skywalker alone when the skirmish between the Jedi and Sebulba worsened , and Beedo knew enough that his place wasn ' t in their fight . A Glymphid , Aldar Beedo ' s short , rod thin body gave him an edge when racing . His small size thus meant a small weight , which allowed his Podracer to reach its top speeds . Beedo had notably sharp reflexes that allowed him to pilot such a craft , as such reflexes were more or less required to fly a Podracer in the first place . A lanky individual , Beedo had thin fingers that ended in suction cups , though such features didn ' t hinder his ability to fire a weapon . Beedo was covered in scaly skin that was made up various colors and hues , though his body was mostly a yellowish beige , while the top of his head was blue , with splotches of gray on his abdomen . Aldar Beedo had stark orange reptilian eyes . Glymphid ' s were short aliens , and Beedo only stood at 1 . 3 meters , with a body weight of 32 kilograms . Skills and abilities . Aldar Beedo was a skilled pilot with fast reflexes and a sharp mind that kept him on the track . However , despite victories on Ando Prime and Gamorr , Beedo was largely considered to be a second rate racer ; the claim was reasonable due to the fact Podracing was only a secondary profession for the Glymphid . A trustworthy assassin , he made it his primary work . Beedo had a successful enough track record to have been hired by the smuggler Orin Nyell , and successfully tracked down and killed a Fluggrian crime lord . However despite the success , Beedo never was able to down his most sought after quarry , Sebulba . Despite having skill with a blaster , he was unable to time his shots correctly when racing , not accounting for the speed of Sebulba ' s racer versus the speed of the laser shot . Beedo did , however , have more success with take downs regarding his Podracer . Throughout the 24 BBY racing season Aldar Beedo hit numerous targets with his racer , topping several knockout charts across the Outer Rim circuits . He even had managed to cripple Clegg Holdfast ' s Podracer so intensely that the Nosaurian was killed during the crash . However , Beedo ' s assassin and racing skills were not enough to keep him out of the hands of the mercenary who claimed him on Baroonda . Equipment . Aldar Beedo was known to have made us of various weapons during races , and had maintained and used at least two different Podracers throughout his career . While weapons were illegal on the track , Aldar Beedo was nonetheless able to smuggle a blaster pistol into the Vinta Harvest Classic , and attempted to use it against Sebulba . Beedo ' s silver pistol had a large , round receiver and a narrow barrel , and it fired green lasers . The weapon was strong enough to cut through magnetic cables . Aldar Beedo ' s primary Podracer was a Manta RamAir " MARK IV " - Flat Turbojet , a wide Podracer with two massive engines painted blue with yellow markings that also appeared on the flag Beedo used to represent himself with . The RamAir was notable for it ' s above average stats across the board , minus it ' s acceleration . It ' s best outstanding trait was its handling , allowing to perform well on some of the galaxies twistier courses . However , with upgraded accelerators the vehicle could become a powerhouse of a machine . Perhaps it ' s only major downfall was the vehicle ' s width . The RamAir was much wider than some other pods , and as such was not the perfect choice for the more narrow courses with tighter roads that would lead to more close - knit packs . For the narrower courses , Aldar Beedo did have a backup Podracer . The racer shared the previous one ' s cockpit , and featured " MARK - IV " engines that were half of their original size . Where as the normal engines had two jets on the back of them for propulsion , the new engines each only had one jet . The fact the vehicle ' s size had been drastically reduced meant that Beedo could perform far better on the narrower courses , such as the tracks that Malastare presented . He used both vehicles during the course of 32 BBY , but later solely relied on his original RamAir as his Podracer of choice for the 24 BBY season .
