I heard back from Telsij. The linked entry is part of a (seemingly stalled) offsite project for a Solo sourcebook. Those working on it divvied up all entries. Telsij did the character but someone else was doing the weapon. He said he would check the google doc to see if the other person ever statted out the weapon, and if so, share it here.

Of course, you are always free to stat the weapon out yourself as well.

*** SPOILERS: THE BOOK OF BOBA FETT ***

Hello again. Rather than disappear into the aether with a weapon as the most recent post here, before going back on hiatus, I thought it best to depart with something more appropriate to the theme of the thread.

Spoilers and picture-heavy post ahead!

Here is GARSA FWIP and the staff of the SANCTUARY — including a revised MAX REBO (BAND), from The Book of Boba Fett Disney+ series!


**************************

GARSA FWIP
Type: Charismatic Entrepreneur

Lavishly dressed and impeccably charming, Garsa Fwip is the proprietor of Garsa’s Sanctuary. The stunning Twi'lek has the warmth and polish of a seasoned host.

Well versed by now, in dealing with the shifting sands of running a successful business in the capital of an Outer Rim criminal empire, Madam Garsa is more than willing to "play the game" that her circumstances demand, including paying patronage to whomever seized governing power as the Daimyo of the Mos Espa territories. Garsa is willing to pay off whomever she needs to placate for underworld "protection", in order to ensure the Sanctuary's smooth operation, and to ensure that her high-class cantina continues to provide what its name promises: decadent refuge from Tatooine's searing suns.



Quotes:

• "Welcome to the Sanctuary. Would you care to partake in any of our sundry offerings?"
  — Madam Garsa to Boba Fett & Fennec Shand
  
  
• "Oh, then business it is. Would you like your Gamorreans hosed down and fed while we are sequestered?
  — Madam Garsa to Fett & Shand
  
  
• "In this more civilized place, in these more civilized times, what was once celebrated in the bloodlust of the arena, is now seen as horror and cruelty. *Sighs* There, there. Isn't that better. And you've nothing left to prove."
  — Madam Garsa to Black Krrsantan

Force Points: 1

Special Abilities & Story Factors:

• Lekku: Twi'leks can use their lekku head-tails to communicate in secret with each other, even if in a room full of others. The complex movement of their lekku is, in a sense, a "secret" language that all Twi'leks are fluent in.
  
  
  
  
• A Survivor's Scar: Madam Garsa is no one's slave. But achieving the wealth that Garsa Fwip now possesses came at a cost, especially on a planet run not only by the criminal underworld, but by one of its most notorious and powerful crimelords in particular, Jabba the Hutt. Garsa is a survivor however. The toll she paid for her rise to success may be physically marked by the scar she bears across her collarbone, but she does not hide it, nor shy away from what the scar suggests: Garsa Fwip's success was not given, it was earned.
  
  
  
  

Equipment: Expensive and stylish clothing and jewelry, hard-earned wealth (enough disposable income to decorate her cantina with water-intensive plants despite water's relative scarcity on Tatooine), upscale cantina in Mos Espa (Garsa's Sanctuary).


*******************************

GARSA'S SANCTUARY

A busy establishment on the streets of Mos Espa, Garsa’s Sanctuary is part music hall, part gambling den, and part decadent respite from the searing suns of Tatooine where the stylish Garsa Fwip attends to her customers’ needs.

• Gambling, games of chance
  
• Helmet & armor care (Note: Staff offers to "take helmets for a cleaning" are code for covert monetary exchange: daimyo tribute / protection money payment, bribery, etc.)
  
• Live music (Current house band is the new Max Rebo Band)
  
  
• In addition to items of Availability of 1,2, F, and R, rare or illegal items that are Availability X, 3, and in some cases 4, can often be found at the Sanctuary, for a price.

THE (NEW) MAX REBO BAND

Popular jizz-wailer and keyboardist Max Rebo was now leader of the house band at Garsa's Sanctuary. And under the Ortolan's reinvigorated guidance, the group has flourished, even taking on former members of the Modal Nodes who were cast off from their commitment to Chalmun's cantina, or (finally) put off by the increasing risks incurred by Figrin D'an's gambling habit. Despite knowing he would largely be relegated to playing atmospheric music for the club's patrons, Rebo accepted a lucrative deal offered by Madam Garsa. This was due, at least in part perhaps, to the Ortolan seeking a more stable — and safer — gig, after nearly losing his life aboard Jabba the Hutt's sail barge five years ago. However, Garsa's continued involvement in the Tatooine underworld sometimes makes the long term prospects of this "safe" gig dubious, sometimes causing Max to take days off when he senses trouble is afoot!

Move: 8. Equipment: Drum-kit, drumsticks. Equipped with: 3 wheeled legs (center leg is retractable), 4 manipulator arms (if all 4 arms are used toward a single continuous activity — such as drumming — R0 unit may make a second roll for said continuous activity without incurring a multi-action penalty), Acoustic signaler, Dome-mounted high-hat with built-in drumstick (+1 to musical instrument operation: drumming skill checks), Holorecorder, Internal comlink, Photoreceptor with infrared vision (can see in the dark up to 30 meters; flash/strobe capability may be used to help band keep rhythm, and grants +1 bonus to musical instrument operation rolls of bandmates when in use), Internal storage (extra space available for 8 kilograms of storage or upgrades).




Bith Instrumentalists: All stats are 2D except: scholar: music composition 4D, MECHANICAL 3D, musical instrument operation 4D, musical instrument operation: Dorenian Beshniquel / fizzz 5D, musical instrument operation: hallikset 5D. Move: 10. Equipment: Matching black attire, headless hallikset (+1 to Persuasion rolls when attempting to play pretentiously), short Dorenian Beshniquel / fizzz. Special Abilities & Story Factors: Manual Dexterity: Although the Bith have low overall Dexterity scores, they do gain +1D to the performance of fine motor skills - picking pockets, surgery, fine tool operation, etc.- but not to gross motor skills such as blaster and dodge; Scent: Bith have well-developed senses of smell, giving them +1D to Perception skills when pertaining to actions and people within three meters; Vision: Bith have the ability to focus on microscopic objects, giving them a +1D to Perception skills involving objects less than 30 centimeters away. However, as a consequence of this, the Bith have become extremely myopic. They suffer a penalty of -1D for any visual based action more than 20 meters away and cannot see more than 40 meters under any circumstances.






MAX REBO
Type: Resilient Musician

Max Rebo was the heart (or at least the fluid sac) of the band that bore his name, and could be found onstage behind the pedals of his red ball jett organ. From there he kept an ear on his bandmates' playing and an eye on the sleazy clients who hired his ensemble for their entertainment. After playing a gig for Jabba the Hutt just before the gangster was killed, Rebo survived and now entertains the patrons of Garsa’s Sanctuary in Mos Espa.

Gender: Male

Character Points: 10
Move: 5

Special Abilities & Story Factors:


• New Republic, New Gig: After surviving attempts on his life made by those whom Azool Phantelle — his scoundrel of a brother — had wronged, and later, after somehow also escaping the explosion of Jabba's sail barge above the Pit of Carkoon, Max Rebo landed back on his own two feet with a steady and lucrative new job. By the time five years had passed since the fiery explosion of the Khetanna, Max Rebo had become leader of the house band at Madam Garsa's Sanctuary. Trouble seemed to follow the Ortolan wherever he went however. Despite the Sanctuary's upscale atmosphere and high-class trapping, Garsa's underworld ties often proved as dangerous as working directly for Jabba the Hutt.
  
  
• Nutrient-Absorptive Digits: Ortolans are capable of ingesting food and drink via the openings at the tips of toes, in addition to their mouths. Because of this increased opportunity and ability to ingest, the hardy Ortolans can subsist on a wide variety of food types and have built an immunity to a number of harmful substances. Ortolans may reroll a failed skill check required to resist poison or indigestion, but must accept the second result.
  
  
• Ortolan Hand-Foot Physiology: Ortolans’ forelimbs function as both hands and feet. Ortolans are equally adept at using their limbs for tasks most humanoids typically perform with only one or the other type of appendage. However, tasks that require "standard" human body configurations, or that require the simultaneous use of both hands and feet, are performed at one difficulty level higher for Ortolans. And as the limbs' placement on the Ortolan body is a location typically associated with legs, most humanoids will refer to Ortolan limbs as either legs or feet.
  
  
• Sensitive Ears: Ortolans' large, floppy ears house well-developed auditory systems, granting them a +1D bonus to hearing-based Perception or search checks. At the same time, the internal fat storage and distribution in their ears protects them from suffering any increased vulnerability to sound-based attacks.

Equipment: Seat cushion, stylish new red ball jett organ (glossy black finish, with bronze-gold accents).

I've been glad to see the RX droids in these shows but I can't help but wonder: Is it just a cheap prope because Disney hads dozens on them in storage? I mean there was a physical plastic RX droid in every Star Tours ship, so a dozen or so per Star Tours attraction. There were at least two attractions but I think more.
