Ree Yees

Ree-Yees was a Gran male who worked for the Hutt crime lord, Jabba Desilijic Tiure and was responsible for watching Buboicullaar, the Hutt's pet frog-dog.

Looking after Buboicullaar

On one occasion, Ree-Yees lost Buboicullaar on board Jabba's sail barge, the Khetanna, and was forced to clean the vessel and search for the pet before Jabba revealed that he could summon the frog-dog with a simple call.

The Gran was later part of a crowd that confronted the bounty hunter, Boba Fett at the palace when Fett spoke with Jabba's majordomo, Bib Fortuna; however Fett convinced Ree-Yees and the others to back down based on his reputation.

The Rebels Arrive

In 4 ABY, Ree-Yees was present in Jabba's Palace when the droids R2-D2 and C-3PO delivered a message to Jabba from the Jedi, Luke Skywalker, who wished for the Hutt to free the smuggler, Han Solo from carbonite. After watching a performance by the Max Rebo Band, Ree-Yees gleefully watched the dancer, Oola be eaten by Jabba's pet rancor, Pateesa.

He then witnessed Princess Leia Organa, disguised as the bounty hunter, Boushh, bargain with Jabba for the bounty on the Wookiee, Chewbacca. Having seen through Organa's disguise, Jabba had Ree-Yees and others wait with him in order to ambush the princess when she freed Solo from carbonite later that night, with Ree-Yees covering the vocoder of C-3PO in order to prevent him from warning the pair.

Once Skywalker himself arrived at the palace to free his various allies, Ree-Yees excitedly watched him battle the rancor, but was shocked and frustrated when the Jedi killed the beast. The Gran then accompanied Jabba on the Khetanna sail barge as they traveled to the Great Pit of Carkoon to watch Skywalker, Solo, and Chewbacca be executed. However, Skywalker and his allies freed themselves and managed to kill Jabba. They then destroyed the Khetanna and Ree-Yees perished in the explosion.
