BoShek/Legends

BoShek was a talented pilot and outlaw tech who had a secret lab in Mos Eisley, often taking smuggling jobs for the local monk order. He also boasted of beating the Kessel Run record set by Han Solo in his ship, Infinity.

BoShek was in the Mos Eisley Cantina when Obi-Wan Kenobi and Luke Skywalker were looking for a pilot to take them to Alderaan. Obi-Wan approached him, but he demurred to First Mate Chewbacca of the Millennium Falcon. Nonetheless, BoShek's meeting with Kenobi convinced him to leave fringe life behind.

BoShek had a natural, albeit untrained, aptitude for The Force, which he used to escape from stormtroopers hunting him. He had destroyed four TIEs after beating Solo's Kessel Run record, ad had to masquerade as a religious figure at the B'omarr monastery.

He later settled down on the remote planet Stoga in an attempt to evade the Galactic Empire, but was forced to tip his hand when a woman named Rasha Bex asked him to help her escape members of a Rebel cell loyal to Garm Bel Iblis. He did so despite a betrayal by his friend Tam, only to discover that Bex was actually an Imperial spy. She offered him a job in the Empire, but BoShek refused and was arrested for his role in destroying the four TIE fighters. His final fate is unknown.
