Greedo
Greedo was born in 44 BBY and died in 1 BBY.
Greedo is best remembered for the way he died: cornering Han Solo in the Mos Eisley cantina on Jabba the Hutt's behalf, only to be gunned down across the table before he could collect. His life leading up to that moment was a string of bad luck and overconfidence. As a hot-tempered youngster in Mos Espa he picked a fight with Anakin Skywalker, accusing him of cheating in the Boonta Eve Classic. During the Clone Wars he took a Trade Federation contract to kidnap the daughters of Pantora's Chairman Papanoida, but a smear of his own blood led the chairman to him, and Jabba forced Greedo to lead the Pantorans to the hostage. As one of Jabba's mid-level hired guns he ran scams such as freeing bounties so he could recapture them, joined Solo and Chewbacca on a doomed heist for a verillix urn on Corellia, shot Solo during the double-crosses that followed, and later botched a job on Mygeeto that nearly got him fed to a rancor. Sent after Solo as his last chance with the Hutt, he finally had the smuggler at blasterpoint in 1 BBY and gloated long enough to be shot dead. Even then his death earned him more fame than anything he did while alive.
