Legend

according to a story that circulated on the HoloNet following the Battle of Endor, Flek was a droid who was once owned by Lando Calrissian. Together, they perpetrated all manner of scams to swindle credits from unsuspecting beings. The story paralleled Lando's experienced with Vuffi Raa, and many felt that it portrayed Lando in an unflattering light. Among the stories was a con in which Lando portrayed a Ronin Jedi Knight in order to obtain a set of statuettes from a timid race of beings known as the Meeks. The statuettes turned out to be forgeries, although Lando had been forced to eliminate a marauding rancor to obtain them. Flek wanted to return and pay the Meeks a measure of revenge, but Lando refused, claiming that their ingenuity in getting him to chase off the rancor was to be commended. This ending to the story served to redeem Lando's image, as he accepted the outcome and left the Meeks alone.
