Mat Rags/Legends

"But I am Mat Rags, the greatest hunter the galaxy has ever known!"

- Mat Rags to Qui-Gon Jinn

Mat Rags was a male Human from Corellia, living on Tatooine during the time of the Battle of Naboo. He still resided there during the Galactic Civil War.

Biography
Mat Rags came to Mos Espa to hunt krayt dragons, claiming he was the greatest beast hunter in the galaxy. During his time in Mos Espa, Rags ran into Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn, who was trying to purchase a hyperdrive generator. Such was Qui-Gon's kindness towards the rugged Mat Rags, the hunter gave the Jedi a rare krayt dragon tooth, to aid in his bargain for a hyperdrive. During the Boonta Eve Classic podraces, Rags worked as a podracer mechanic to earn a living. His sport of dragon hunting did not occur frequently enough for him to make any good pay.

During the rule of the Galactic Empire, Mat Rags still lived in Mos Espa, helping locals train to become worthy hunters. He wore a krayt dragon's claw around his neck, as a show of his status as a hunter. He continued to boast about his greatest kills, a wild rancor on Dathomir being one of them. His bragging was very annoying to those who knew him.

Behind the scenes
Mat Rags was voiced by Gregg Berger in Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace video game.
