30th Anniversary Bash

30th Anniversary Bash was the name of a painting available in the galaxy sometime after the Battle of Yavin during the Galactic Civil War. It depicted the Max Rebo Band performing at Jabba's Palace on the planet Tatooine. The text, written in the Galactic Basic Standard alphabet known as Aurebesh, spelled out "uhl eharl." The painting was given to a spacer who attended Nym's Anniversary Bash at his base on the planet Lok.

==Behind the scenes==
30th Anniversary Bash was a painting that appeared in the 2003 massively multiplayer online roleplaying video game Star Wars Galaxies. Players could use it as decoration for their house. It was added to the game as part of the Chapter 6: Masters of the Wild game update on May 22, 2007 and was given out to players who attended Nym's Anniversary Bash. The anniversary bash and the painting were meant to celebrate the thirtieth anniversary of the release of Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope in theaters in 1977.
The image used for the painting is largely similar to a piece of concept art for the Max Rebo band done by conceptual designer Ralph McQuarrie during the development of Return of the Jedi.The Illustrated Star Wars Universe The Aurebesh lettering, spelling out "uhl eharl," resembles the name of Uhl Eharl Khoehng, a story that appeared in Star Wars Adventure Journal 8. Another painting from the game, Party Poster, makes a similar reference.
