Star Wars: 10 Side Characters With Awesome Back-Stories

5. Max Rebo

You'll probably recognise Max Rebo as the bizarre blue elephant that was playing a keyboard-esque instrument in Jabba's Palace. Even among the alien inhabitants of the Star Wars universe, Rebo is an odd-looking fellow. Famous for his skills on the Red Ball Jett keyboard, Rebo was a sought-after musician that was once a member of the unfortunately named 'Evar Orbus and His Galactic Jizz-Wailers.' When we see him in Return Of The Jedi, Rebo is part of the 'Max Rebo' band, along with Sy Snottles, Droopy McCool, and several others. Rebo's bandmates weren't happy with him, as he had a terrible head for business. Eternally hungry, Rebo agreed to play indefinitely at Jabba's Palace, in exchange for unlimited food and drink. While Rebo was a big fan of this contract, his bandmates (some of which only needed to eat once a month,) were less happy. A few years after Jabba was killed, Rebo quit the music industry and became rich through his chain of 'Max's Flanth House' restaurants.
