Biography
A bluish-gray-skinned humanoid, Jinn Reeso performed as a professional Podracer pilot who participated in Podraces during the year 32 BBY. Reeso flew a massive black and gray Podracer that had a decent set of attributes, including average acceleration and an acceptable top speed. Reeso's Podracer had poor handling though, and due to the size of the engines it was difficult to fly straight through narrow gaps or passages. On Mon Gazza, Reeso became quite skilled at the course known as the Spice Mine Run, sharing some of the fame with the pilot Mars Guo. Reeso also raced on the desert planet of Tatooine once, going up against the likes of "Bullseye" Navior, Boles Roor, Neva Kee, Ody Mandrell, and Clegg Holdfast sometime before the Boonta Eve Classic of 32 BBY.

Personality and traits
Jinn Reeso had the reflexes to pilot a Podracer over various kinds of hazardous terrain. A humanoid, Reeso had bluish-gray colored skin with some whiter highlights around his cheeks, chin, and arms. Reeso's species only had two toes on the end of each leg. When racing, Reeso wore a black jumpsuit, a helmet, and darkened race goggles that obscured the upper half of his face.

Behind the scenes
Jinn Reeso is a playable character in the Nintendo 64 version of Star Wars: Episode I Racer. Reeso is not available in normal play, but is accessed by using the cheat codes RRJINNRE or RRTANGENTABACUS. Upon activation, Jinn Reeso and his Podracer completely replace all aspects of the character Mars Guo, including the game's record listings and as the track favorite for the game's Spice Mine Run course. Jinn Reeso was one of two cheat-code characters in Racer, the other being Cy Yunga. Reeso, however, is the only one that noted in an official game guide. Jinn Reeso's voice was provided by Bob Bergen and Jim Ward. Bergen also provided the voices for Ody Mandrell, Cy Yunga, and Gasgano. Ward provided the voices for Fud Sang and Mars Guo in addition to Reeso. The dual voice acting however is most in part due to Reeso recycling sound bytes from the other racers. The model for Reeso's body is a re-textured version of Bozzie Baranta's body model.
