10 Awesome Star Wars Characters Only In One Scene

8. The Max Rebo Band - Return Of The Jedi

Not just one character, but a group spanning an impressive 12 different figures - this is the Max Rebo Band.

Appearing in Return of the Jedi's opening act, we get to see the Max Rebo Band - whose musical style is described as "jizz wailing" (I kid you not...) - playing a gig for none other than Jabba the Hutt during those first few minutes of that final leg of George Lucas' original Star Wars trilogy.

As we're brought into Jabba's Palace, it's the Max Rebo Band who are blasting out tunes in the background - including classics such as Lapti Nek, Jedi Rocks, and (That Joyous Night) I Ate My Mate.

While Max Rebo obviously gets headlining duties for the Max Rebo Band, the blue-skinned Ortolan keyboardist is largely overshadowed by the powerhouse vocals of Sy Snootles. As for the rest of the group, the Max Rebo Band is also made up Ak-rev, Doda Bodonawieedo, Barquin D'an, Greeata Jendowanian, Lyn Me, Rappertunie, Rystall Sant, Joh Yowza, Umpass-stay, and the brilliantly named Droopy McCool.

The Max Rebo Band as a collective only appeared during the Jabba's Palace-set parts of Return of the Jedi, although Max himself managed to somehow nab a spot on Jabba's sail barge when the film took the action to the Great Pit of Carkoon and the infamous Sarlacc that resides within it.
