Dax Gazaway served as a Podracing announcer, providing coverage for numerous races in the Outer Rim before the outbreak of the Clone Wars in the year 24 BBY. He hailed from Mos Espa, a city situated on the Outer Rim planet of Tatooine. It was commonly known that he possessed intimate knowledge of all pilot participants within the circuits he covered.
Born in the city of Mos Espa, located on the Outer Rim planet of Tatooine, Dax Gazaway's life began in a vibrant locale. Mos Espa was famous for hosting the annual Boonta Eve Classic Podrace, an event that drew spectators from across the galaxy. By 24 BBY, Gazaway had embarked on a career as a Podrace broadcaster and in-race commentator. Gazaway closely followed the 24 BBY Podracing season, which featured the return of several experienced professionals alongside a wave of new competitors. The season gained particular attention due to the comeback of the Dug pilot Sebulba, who entered the competition with a formidable Collor Pondrat Plug-G Gargantua Split-X Podracer, and his longtime rival, Anakin Skywalker, a former slave who had since become a Jedi in training.
Gazaway tracked the unfolding competition across diverse circuits and courses, delivering broadcasts of the races. Typically, Gazaway would commence each race by providing previews of notable course features before signaling the pilots to start. Subsequently, he would offer colorful commentary, analyzing the on-track behavior of specific pilots and employing various metaphors to describe crashes. Despite his sometimes insensitive remarks, he was reputed to maintain a professional relationship with every pilot involved in the tournament. At the conclusion of the season, Gazaway journeyed to the palace of Jabba the Hutt to announce the season's champion.
The character of Dax Gazaway made his debut as the race commentator in the 2002 video game Star Wars: Racer Revenge, with Tom Kane providing his voice. Gazaway shares his name with Dax Gazaway, who previously worked as a level designer at LucasArts. During the development phase of Star Wars: Racer Revenge, the team needed a name for the Podracing announcer, and Gazaway granted permission for his own name to be used.
