A male swooper wearing a graysuit rode in the crime lord Jabba the Hutt's swoop gang during the gang's failed assassination attempt of the Jedi Luke Skywalker on the planet Tatooine in 3.5 ABY. During the encounter the graysuit swooper, while pursuing Skywalker on swoop bike, failed to clear the natural rock formation in Tatooine's Beggar's Canyon known as the Stone Needle. The swooper's bike crashed into the rocks, killing him in a fiery explosion.
