Tangoo melon

A tangoo melon was a type of melon that could be crushed. Around 1 ABY, the smugglers Han Solo and Chewbacca were hired by the Alliance to Restore the Republic to smuggle the Hutt criminal Grakkus Jahibakti Tingi to the Outer Rim planet Akiva to be imprisoned there. During the journey to Akiva aboard the smuggler's freighter Millennium Falcon, Grakkus knocked Solo over and began to choke him. As Chewbacca approached the Hutt with his bowcaster, Grakkus threatened to crush Solo's head like a tangoo melon if the Wookiee came any closer. Ultimately, the incident ended with Solo escaping the Hutt by having Grakkus electrocuted, and afterward the two smugglers set out to take him to Akiva.
