Needles

Needles was a male individual who was a friend of Han Solo. According to Solo, Needles was the best street racer on Corellia. At some point before 10 BBY, Needles attempted to pull a dangerous maneuver whilst driving a vehicle, but it failed and he was killed. Whilst escaping from the Galactic Empire in the Maw Cluster, Solo and the Wookiee Chewbacca successfully performed the same move Needles attempted.
