- "Hey! Little help out here? I'm one of the guards at Jabba's casino over in Mos Espa. This is one of his dealers. He got bit by a rock wart. It's bad. I need to get him in see to the palace doc right away."
- ―Lando Calrissian, to a TT-8L/Y7 gatekeeper droid
Jabba's casino was located in Mos Espa,[1] a city on the Outer Rim planet[2] Tatooine. The casino belonged to[1] the crime lord[2] Jabba the Hutt as part of his[1] operations.[2] Between 3 ABY and 4 ABY,[3] the Rebel Alliance members Lando Calrissian and Lobot, the former's dying friend, traveled to Jabba's Palace on Tatooine to retrieve a droid Calrissian had previously sold to Jabba so he could save the life of his friend. In order to enter the palace, Calrissian posed as a guard of the casino and Lobot as a wounded dealer of the structure who had been bit by a rock wart[1]—a venomous creature[4]—and needed to see the palace's doctor. The ruse worked, and the two were allowed in by the palace's[1] TT-8L/Y7 gatekeeper droid.[2]
