Biography
Vedain was a slave owned by Jabba the Hutt. He worked as the pilot of the cargo skiff used to transport Jabba's prisoners to the Great Pit of Carkoon, where they were eaten by a giant monster called the Sarlacc. One such attempted execution was that of Luke Skywalker and Han Solo, who were about to be thrown in when a droid named R2-D2 gave Skywalker his lightsabre, allowing him to free himself and his friends. Vedain and the rest of Jabba's henchmen went to stop them, but Vedain was attacked by a disguised Lando Calrissian and was then accidently shot by one of Jabba's other minions, Vizam. This caused him and Calrissian to fall into the Pit, where Vedain was eaten by the Sarlacc, although Calrissian escaped.
