Peli Motto

Peli Motto was a human female who managed Hangar 3-5 at Mos Eisley spaceport on the planet Tatooine. Motto was a skilled engineer and made her living repairing and refueling starships. Though scrappy and brutally honest, she was a compassionate and hardworking proprietor.

Years after the fall of the Galactic Empire, the bounty hunter Din Djarin—known simply by the alias, the Mandalorian—landed at Peli Motto's hangar in desperate need of repairs. When he left to find work to cover Motto's bill, the mechanic discovered an infant being, Grogu, alone aboard his gunship. Hoping to charge Djarin, Motto began caring for the child. Unknown to Motto, however, was that both Djarin and Grogu had a bounty on their heads, and rookie bounty hunter Toro Calican took Motto and Grogu hostage in a bid to collect on the prize. After a standoff with Djarin that left Calican dead, he paid Motto for the repairs and left with Grogu.

A short time after his first visit, Djarin returned to Tatooine and met with Motto for aid in his search for fellow Mandalorians. Motto sent him to the town Mos Pelgo, which was run by a marshal donning Mandalorian armor. When Djarin returned, having found that the sheriff was not a Mandalorian himself, Motto helped him once more by arranging a job that would lead him to a group of Mandalorians on Trask.

Djarin later returned to Motto, and with the help of her droids and Jawas, they helped him to modify an N-1 starfighter that Motto had found as a replacement for his Razor Crest, which had been destroyed.

In the lead-up to a Boonta Eve Podrace Championship, Motto was hired to repair a racer's pod. On the same day, Djarin approached her in search of a part for an IG unit. Motto persuaded him to take R5-D4 instead.
