Sy Snootles

Sy Snootles, also known as Miss Snooty, was a female Pa'lowick singer and part-time bounty hunter. The former lover of Ziro the Hutt, she killed him on behalf of his nephew, Jabba Desilijic Tiure, after Ziro abandoned her. Snootles was also a spy for the Hutt Clan and later become the lead vocalist for the Max Rebo Band.

Max Rebo Band

After her career as a spy and part-time bounty hunter, she turned her attention back to singing, joining the Max Rebo Band. However, she and her bandmates were outraged by Rebo's hasty decision to establish the band as a permanent attraction in Jabba's court, having immediately accepted the Hutt crime lord's offer of a contract that paid only in free meals.

There, Snootles also worked as a double agent, feeding majordomo, Bib Fortuna's lies to Jabba's enemies. In 0 BBY, Snootles, Rebo, and Droopy McCool were performing when Trandoshan bounty hunter, Bossk arrived at Jabba's Palace looking for 261, a rogue Imperial astromech droid. Shortly after the attack on Cymoon 1 in 0 ABY, the trio was ordered out of Jabba's court when Sith Lord Darth Vader arrived to negotiate with the Hutt crime lord.

The Rebels arrive

Later on in 4 ABY, the Max Rebo Band performed at a party in Jabba's Palace. Mistaking Jabba's advances on Twi'lek dancer, Oola as a request for another song, Rebo began leading the ensemble through a variation on a popular standard, with Snootles belting out improvised lyrics. Her improvised lyrics were so saucy they embarrassed Bib Fortuna, and most likely would've been banned by the Galactic Empire.

Their performance was interrupted when Oola fell down a trapdoor, where she was devoured by Pateesa, Jabba's pet rancor. Shortly after, the group witnessed the bounty hunter, Boushh, in reality a disguised Leia Organa, enter the palace with the Wookiee Chewbacca as his prisoner. Later, Snootles watched as Jabba's guards captured Organa and Han Solo after Organa had freed Solo from the carbonite he had been encased in.

The Max Rebo Band then accompanied Jabba's entourage aboard his sail barge, the Khetanna, to view the executions of Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, and Chewbacca at the Great Pit of Carkoon. Although the sail barge was destroyed, the band's members survived, but split up after Jabba's death. Snootles would find it hard to to make it anywhere mainstream, chiefly because many found her vocals just too weird.
