Legend

Skorr was a hulking humanoid with pale, pebbly skin and pointed ears. He seemed to have been disfigured, and he wore a metal half-mask. He worked with the Rybet, Gribbet. He kidnapped Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa, in an effort to draw Solo out. He left Luke's lightsaber behind a proof that he held them. A homing beacon inside the lightsaber gave him a measure of control if Solo left the planet too quickly. Solo managed to liberate Luke and Leia, but was followed by Skorr and Gribbet when they fled the planet. Skorr continued tracking the homing beacon in the lightsaber until Han ejected it in a lifepod. Skorr followed the life pod, believing Solo was in it. He ended up within the midst of an Imperial fleet on maneuvers in the system, and was shipped off to the spice mines of Kessel. He later escaped from Kessel, and vowed to get revenge on Solo. He tracked him to Hoth, where the Alliance was investigating the planet's suitability as a base. Skorr captured Han, Luke, and Chewbacca, with the help of Bossk and Zuckass. They agree to meet Boba Fett on Ord Mantell, where they would turn Solo over to the bounty hunter for transport to Jabba the Hutt. They were intercepted by Darth Vader's fleet near Ord Mantell, and barely made it to the surface. While hiding in a moisture plant, they were ambushed by Raskar, who managed to free the Alliance agents and thwart Skorr's plans.
