Legend

this man, a native of the planet Kuat, was one of the leaders of a rebellious cell of individuals who tried to fight back against the oppression of the Kuati barons. During the years leading up to the Battle of Geonosis, Larbo and his rebels tried to fight back against the virtual enslavement of the lower classes. In order to restore some semblance of peace, the Kuati barons hired Jango Fett to eliminate Larbo's band. Unknown to Larbo, the Kuati barons were acting on orders from Count Dooku, who was trying to win their support for the growing Separatist movement. Jango used his own son, Boba, as a distraction, allowing the boy to infiltrate Larbo's camp and throw off his defenses. Larbo, recognizing a possible bargaining chip, kidnapped Boba and held him as protection. Larbo was unprepared for Jango's used of his own son as bait, and was startled when Jango burst into his camp. He released Boba and tried to flee, but Jango killed him with a thermal detonator before he could go too far.
