That guy's name was Malakili?

Star Wars! So I kinda had a tough time deciding on my Star Wars entry (especially being my first one) because the original films were just rife with weirdos and great creature designs. I wanted to draw something bad! Something rockin' and full of amazing Star Wars amazing!

But I decided it'd be a lot more fun to draw the dingus Rancor owner who cries after his Rancor dies.  Apparently his name is Malakili and Wookiepedia has horrified me with the fact that the scantily clad fat guy had an origin involving more than caring for a Rancor. Such a tender heart.

Regardless... here you go, fat, weeping guy from Return of the Jedi!


Fun fact - he escaped after Jabba died to open his own restaurant in Mos Eisley!

  2. I always felt bad for this guy. He didn't care about the rebellion against the empire, he just wanted to take care of his rancor and Luke had to swoop in with his jedi nonsense and kill his loved companion. Awesome first entry sir!

  3. Malakili is a tragic figure in the Star Wars universe. You've chosen wisely, good sir!
