Amanaman

Amanaman was the nickname of an Amani male criminal, bounty hunter, and headhunter from the planet Maridun. He kept the skulls of the fugitives he scoured the galaxy for and used them to decorate his staff, earning the moniker Head Hunter for his collection. Amanaman spent time lurking at the Hutt crime lord Jabba Desilijic Tiure's palace on the planet Tatooine during the Era of Rebellion. Amanaman was present in Jabba's palace in 4 ABY, when the droids C-3PO and R2-D2 delivered a hologram message of Jedi Knight Luke Skywalker asking for the release of his friend Han Solo.

Later, Amanaman attended a performance of Jabba's enslaved dancer, Oola, and the Max Rebo Band. After Oola was fed to Jabba's rancor, Princess Leia Organa arrived at the palace disguised as the bounty hunter Boushh and negotiated with Jabba over the price of the Wookiee Chewbacca. During the talk, she pulled out a thermal detonator but deactivated it when she and the crime lord met on the price of thirty-five thousand. The morning after, Amanaman was present in the palace when Skywalker, Solo, and Chewbacca were brought to their death sentencing.
