Biography

Aspiring to become a professional podracer pilot, the Ualaq Aqualish named LobwuWa Loba was present at the Mos Espa Grand Arena on Tatooine in 32 BBY. Loba watched the Boonta Eve Classic from the private box of Watto, a local junk dealer.

During the subsequent ten years, the Aqualish gained recognition as a competent podracer. By 22 BBY, Loba had returned to the Grand Arena as a favored contender in a podracing event. The fledgling bounty hunter Boba Fett identified Loba as one of the racers who had an appreciation for the sport. The crime lord Jabba Desilijic Tiure had prearranged the outcome of that particular race.

Personality and traits

Loba possessed a somewhat menacing appearance, characterized by brown skin, light blond hair, and four black eyes. Their ability to pilot a podracer, combined with their strong will, allowed the Aqualish to realize their aspiration of becoming a professional racer.

LobwuWa Loba made an appearance on a viewscreen in the young reader novel Boba Fett: Hunted (2003) penned by Elizabeth Hand.
