Baze Joz

OnALegendsArticle

"He's Baze Joz, only the smoothest mandoviol player in the Outer Rim! I've known Baze a long time, and no matter what anyone tells you, all those rumors are completely false."
―Blerx Tango, to a spacer[1]

Baze Joz was a male Chadra-Fan and mandoviol player in a band called the Dewback Ramblers.

Biography

"Our mandoviol player is -- well, he's a wonderful guy, really, but he has kind of an attitude about Imperials. When he arrived here, some Imperial Security Bureau agents questioned him. And he sort of, well, bit one. Now he's on the run out in the desert. Can you bring him here?"
―Blerx Tango, to a spacer[1]

After the Battle of Yavin, Baze Joz and the Dewback Ramblers operated out of the Lucky Star cantina in Mos Entha, on the planet Tatooine.[1]

In 1 ABY,[2] Baze Joz bit an agent of the Imperial Security Bureau outside of Mos Entha. The band leader Blerx Tango tasked a spacer with finding Joz and bringing him back safely. The spacer agreed, but was forced to kill three Imperial sergeants who would not let Joz be escorted.[1]

Behind the scenes

Baze Joz was a non-player character in the 2003 video game Star Wars Galaxies, a massively multiplayer online roleplaying game developed by Sony Online Entertainment and published by LucasArts,[1] prior to its closure on December 15, 2011.[3] In the game, players doing a mission for Blerx Tango had to rescue Baze. Because Baze Joz spawned under the generic "chadra_fan_thief" template, examining him revealed him to be a thief.[1]

  2. ↑ The opening crawl of Star Wars Galaxies: An Empire Divided dates the game to after the events of Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope, and additionally, Serji-X Arrogantus, who died in Star Wars (1977) 10—the events of which The New Essential Chronology dates to 0 ABY—appears in the game. Therefore, at least a portion of Star Wars Galaxies must be set in that year. Furthermore, in the game Ruwan Tokai references the destruction of the Death Star as having occurred one year earlier, and Strongholds of Resistance also places the events of Galaxies' Chapter 9: "The Fury of Exar Kun" in 1 ABY. Lastly, while Chapter 11: "The Battle of Echo Base" features the Battle of Hoth—dated to 3 ABY by The New Essential Chronology—the developers have stated that the portrayal of that battle in the game is intentionally anachronistic. Therefore, the events of Star Wars Galaxies must span from 0 ABY to around 1 ABY.
