"Been awhile since you've been on Tatooine with your old partner Saponza. It actually feels good to be back under the twin suns."

- Saponza, to his partner

At some point bewteen the Battle of Yavin and the Battle of Hoth, Saponza and his partner established a base of operations in the former's Tatooinian homestead. The two mercenaries soon attracted the wrath of Jabba, the resident Hutt crime lord of Tatooine. In retaliation for the death of six of his henchmen, Jabba had Saponza's homestead razed to the ground. Realizing that they could not defeat the Hutt on their own, Saponza and his partner were forced to pick a side in the Galactic Civil War by choosing to either join the autocratic Galactic Empire or the freedom fighters of the Rebel Alliance.

Bib Fortuna contacted him and his companion before and after the destruction of his homestead, and even though he warned them about Jabba's revenge, they still ignored it, possibly believing Jabba would forget or simply not bother.
