Rappertunie

Rapotwanalantonee, better known as Rappertunie, was a Shawda Ubb male from the planet Manpha who played the Growdi Harmonique in the Max Rebo Band. He had a thirst for travel, but ended up in a lifetime gig with the rest of the band when they became the house band of the Hutt crime lord Jabba Desilijic Tiure at his palace on the desert world Tatooine. Rapotwanalantonee would spend entire days sitting motionless to try and keep his skin cool in the palace's dry climate and plotted his escape while playing for the Hutt.

In 4 ABY, Rapotwanalantonee and the rest of the band were playing the song "Jedi Rocks" at the palace when Jabba interrupted by feeding the enslaved dancer Oola to his pet rancor, Pateesa. The band then witnessed the arrival of the disguised Princess Leia Organa, who would kill Jabba the next day. Upon learning of Jabba's death, Rappertunie fled from the palace.
