Basic info

First appearance: Shadows of the Empire (Comic)
Relations: Tatooine

Summary

Big Gizz, while on the town with his buds one day in 3 ABY, was challenged by a mysterious biker, Jix, in Mos Eisley. When Jix cheated in the bike match, Gizz was impressed with his willingness to cheat. When Prince Xizor contacted Jabba about killing Luke Skywalker, Jabba gave the task to Big Gizz and his partner, Spiker. Unknown to Gizz, however, was that Jix was an Imperial agent working for Darth Vader, assigned to ensure Skywalker's survival.
Jix and Gizz's gang headed for Jabba's headquarters. Jabba was in the middle of breakfast when the bikes burst into his throne room. Jabba just got a transmission that interfered with Jix's instructions. Following Jabba's orders, the swoop gang attacked Luke, who was staying in Obi-Wan Kenobi's home near the Dune Sea. With the help of Dash Rendar, Luke was able to outmaneuver the swoop riders in Beggar's Canyon. Gizz was hurt, had a broken leg and had a talk to Jix about finishing one's job and how he had a clear view of Skywalker. This would be his undoing, for Luke and Dash were leaving the battle, before he could fire, Jix sneaked up behind him and smashed a rock into his head. Big Gizz collapsed then and there, bloody and left for dead.
