Sy Snootles/Legends

Sy Snootles was a Pa'lowick singer, and was also the lead vocalist for the Max Rebo Band while they were playing for Jabba Desilijic Tiure.

She was a very close friend with dancer Greeata, and did not sign to sing for Max until Greeata's position was secured as well. Snootles also had a great relationship with fellow band member Droopy McCool. One of Snootles' most famous songs was "Lapti Nek," also a favorite of Jabba. Her most notable characteristic was an incredibly long lip stalk.

Biography
Sy Snootles had very big dreams of being a successful musician and was determined to see those aspirations realized at all costs. She was with the original lineup of the Max Rebo Band, back in their days under former manager Evar Orbus. After Orbus's death, Max Rebo took over the creative and managerial direction of the band and signed them up with Jabba the Hutt in exchange for an exorbitant amount of food.

Always pragmatic, Sy was outraged at the Ortolan's deal and often worked behind the Hutt's back, trying to revoke their arrangement with Jabba. She also worked as a spy amongst Jabba's varied enemies, giving information in exchange for extra credits besides her share of the Band's profits. In truth, Sy was acting as a double agent, as the information she shared with Jabba's enemies were, in truth, falsehoods provided to her by Bib Fortuna, the Hutt's majordomo.

After Jabba's death, the Max Rebo Band broke up and went their separate ways. Sy continued to pursue a solo career but found little success. She was seen as a rival of fellow Pa'lowick singing sensation, Larisselle Chatrunis, a former Miss Coruscant winner. Despite the publicity, the rumored backstage drama did little for Sy's dwindling career, however, and the best she could muster were tours of the Outer Rim Territories under a variety of stage names.

A different Pa'lowick seen in Coruscant during the Clone Wars, was identified as Sam Snootles. It is unknown if there is any relation with Sy Snootles.

Behind the scenes
Sy Snootles was originally portrayed as an elaborate puppet, but for the extended musical number in the Special Edition of Return of the Jedi, she was a CG character. In the Special Edition a frog-like mouth below the long, skinny one was removed, so that the CG character only had one mouth.
