One of the most
annoying critters in the Star Wars galaxy, Salacious B. Crumb was the favored jester in the court of Jabba the Hutt. The
beak-nosed
pot-bellied miscreant had a habit of breaking into a nerve-wracking cackle whenever the mood struck his flighty little brain. The creature had a knack for mimicry, and would pester many by constantly repeating what was said to him.
Crumb had an affinity for tormenting Jabba'
s other employees, most notably the Hutt'
s interpreters. When C-3PO became Jabba'
s property, Salacious antagonized the golden protocol droid mercilessly. As Luke Skywalker freed his allies, Crumb physically attacked Threepio, ripping the droid'
s eye from its socket. Fortunately, R2-D2 arrived and used his electric prod to shock the little
beast. An angry Crumb retreated, and died moments later when the sail barge exploded.
