Appearances
Star Wars
Greedo appears in Star Wars as a Rodian bounty hunter working for Jabba the Hutt. Jabba hires him to capture Han Solo, who lost the Hutt's cargo during a smuggling assignment whilst escaping from an Imperial Star Destroyer. Greedo tracks his target to the Mos Eisley Cantina on Tatooine, where Han kills him with a concealed blaster.

Greedo also appears in the 2010 Star Wars: The Clone Wars episode "Sphere of Influence". In this series, set 20 years before A New Hope, Greedo is hired by the Trade Federation to kidnap Baron Papanoida's daughters, Che Amanwe and Chi Eekway. He is ultimately foiled by Ahsoka Tano.
