The Max Rebo Band was a loose ensemble of musicians cobbled from the remains of a band fronted by Evar Orbus. When Orbus, our multi-tentacled Letaki manager and bandleader, was killed in a scuffle with disgruntled Bith musicians, I took over the group in my name.
We went to Tatooine and secured a lifetime contract with Jabba the Hutt. Though a talented musician and gourmand, I was hardly a shrewd negotiator. I was food-obsessed and traded away the band's future in exchange for a lifetime supply of food.
In Jabba's employ, the band swelled from a small core group to 12 members. The bulk of the group did travel to the Great Pit of Carkoon, but we escaped the fiery explosion that consumed the Hutt's sail barge.
