9. Max Rebo
I ask myself how a blue elephant looking guy can get the plum role of master of keyboards in Jabbas Palace. Well I tell you how! Food! Food, thats what. In the story of this ridiculaous looking creation, Max Rebo or Siiruulian Phantele is a male Ortolan, and head member of the Max Rebo Band. Max, the youngest of five children, had to fight to be heard and seen. Max, as a young musician, was discovered by Evar Orbus (an intergalactic Simon Cowell if you will) Orbus approached Rebo and offered his services for unlimited food and a signature. With Rebo always thinking with his stomach rather than his head, he accepted. Not long after Orbus was killed when the Max Rebo band took up thier residency at Mos Eisly Cantina. This is where Rebo encountered Jabba the Hutt, who promised unlimited food once again for the Max Rebo band to reside on a lifelong contract at Jabaas palace.
Why ridiculous? Look at this guy! If Jabba is not of a weird and freaky looking character, just look at Max Rebo and his freaky 'Rick Wakeman' like freak outs on his Red Ball Organ. First seen in Jabba's palace, this freaky looking guy was a sore thumb sticking out amongst the dank and dirty environment of Jabba's palace but he still looks like an elephant to me.
