History


Watto advises a spacer to enter Jabba's game competition.

Watto advises a spacer to enter Jabba's game competition.

Some time prior to the Boonta Eve Classic of 32 BBY, a spacer participated in the gaming event of Jabba's Game Plaza in hopes of winning Wupiupi credits. The stranger had been forced to stop on the sun-scorched planet because of their damaged starship, and they needed to buy replacement parts from the junk trader Watto. The deal required more money than the spacer could possibly afford. Eager to turn the stranger into a paying customer, Watto provided them with a map of Mos Espa and allowed them to use his Z-P70 assistant droid. Through participating in the games, the spacer finally won enough money to buy the parts and repair their ship, and they eventually flew off Tatooine.
