Behind the scenes
J'Meeb Gumb makes his first appearence in Star Wars: Bounty Hunter, a video game produced by LucasArts, and released in December 2002. However, before appearing in the game, he received an entry in Bounty Hunter: Prima's Official Strategy Guide, the game's corresponding guide, which was published by Prima Games and released in November of that same year. In the game, Gumb is one of five bounties located in the Industrial District, which is the second level on the second planet of the game. In Star Wars: Bounty Hunter, the player controls Jango Fett, and since claiming Gumb's bounty is not essential to the game, the player has several ways to go about it. The player can ignore Gumb entirely, kill him and not claim the bounty, kill him and claim the bounty, or capture him and claim the bounty. The article above assumes that Jango Fett captured Gumb alive, because that gives Fett the maximum reward possible.
