Myhr Rho

Myhr Rho was a Cathar who grew up on Tatooine. He was a patron of the Mos Eisley Cantina. He was a member of the race's less-common subspecies.

Biography
Myhr Rho hated Tatooine and spent much of his early life trying to save up enough money to make his way off-planet. He was unable to find a job, since he refused to do anything illegal. What money he did have was spent in the cantina.

After the Battle of Endor, Rho was inspired by Cebann Veekan and Ackmena's success in dramatizing the exploits of Luke Skywalker and realized he, too, could capitalize on the popularity of the local hero. The Cathar entrepreneur soon founded the Skywalker Tour tourist attraction on Tatooine. Visitors were taken to several places important in Luke's life, such as the Lars homestead, Ben Kenobi's house and the Pit of Carkoon. He finally succeeded and concluded that maybe Tatooine wasn't so bad after all.
