Shortly before the Battle of Yavin , Figrin D ' an and the Modal Nodes had entered into an exclusive contract with the Tatooine crimelord , Jabba Desilijic Tiure . They would routinely perform in the courts at Jabba ' s Palace and his Mos Eisley townhouse , but it didn ' t take long before they all regretted entering into a contract with the Hutt . Recognizing Jabba ' s penchant for executing underlings that displeased him at a moment ' s notice , the Modal Nodes began to fear for their lives . Doikk ' s anxiety increased when one of Jabba ' s servants accused him of snacking on Jabba ' s private stash of feckled toads . It would only be a matter of time before Jabba decided to make one of the musicians a snack in their own right , by tossing one down into the dungeon abode of his pet rancor . Fortunately for them , a golden opportunity was fresh at hand . A rival of Jabba ' s named Lady Valarian offered the band 3 , 000 credits to perform at her wedding to the Whiphid D ' Wopp . They arrived at the Star Chamber Café reception hall inside of the Lucky Despot Hotel & Casino in Mos Eisley . Jabba learned of this breach of contract and sent several of his bounty hunters down to the casino to disrupt the festivities . As luck would have it , Imperial stormtroopers likewise raided the party and a massive fire - fight broke out . During the confusion , the Modal Nodes met a party guest named Wuher who showed them a quick way out . They all decided that they wanted to get off of Tatooine as soon as possible . Unfortunately , band leader Figrin D ' an spent most of their 3 , 000 credits at the Sabacc tables during Valarian ’ s wedding . However , Wuher put in a good word for them with Chalmun — a Wookiee who owned a nearby cantina where Wuher tended bar . Chalmun hired them to perform at his cantina . They were performing the night when Luke Skywalker and Obi - Wan Kenobi entered the cantina seeking a pilot willing to ferry them to the Alderaan system . They continued to perform at Chalmun ' s on a regular basis . Occasionally , Chalmun ' s nightshift manager , Ackmena , would liven the bar ' s atmosphere by singing along with the Modal Nodes ' rhythms . However , Na ' ts did not play with the band during the Imperial curfew . Shortly after this event , Figrin D ' an wagered the band ' s instruments and equipment on a hand of sabacc . He lost the bet , but the Modal Nodes soon convinced him to win their equipment back . He eventually succeeded and the Modal Nodes went on to play the intergalactic circuit . Notes .
