Materials needed:
Don Post Greedo mask - I'd like to add that this mask is one of the best buys I've seen onthe market. The detail and quality is great and the price is low (around $35) at Galaxy Trading
Sage coveralls (see the links section)
Hands - Don Post Greedo hands OR white canvas gloves and green spray paint.
Boots - Black vinyl, black cloth tape, black shoes or boots.
Vest - Orange felt and hot glue.
Belt and holster - Black vinyl, black cloth tape, pop rivets, Blastech DL-44 pistol.
Blaster - The blaster in the pictures is some kind of Nerf gun I found at the DisabledVets Thrift store. I bought it for 2 bucks, stripped it of its Nerf gadgets andpainted it black.

See the Basics section for instructions on building the boots,vest, belt and holster.

This is another simple costume. You can either buy the Don Post Greedo hands, or ifyou're cheap like Bubba, you can buy a pair of canvas gloves and a can of green spraypaint and go wild for less than $2.50! Note: the result will look exactly like apair of green gloves, but you'll get your point across.

Greedo is the Rodian bounty hunter who was killed by Han Solo in the cantina on Tatooine in A New Hope. Greedo was attempting to extort money out of Solo when he and Solo got into an altercation wherein Greedo was shot. In the original cinematic release of the film, Greedo does not fire at all. Solo shoots first from under the table. In the 1997 re-release of the film, Greedo launches a poorly-aimed shot at Solo from about two feet away before Solo fires. George Lucas has said that this change is to enhance Solo's overall heroism, and (in Entertainment Weekly) that he had originally planned it this way. The altered scene has irked many fans before and after. In the 2004 DVD version both pull the trigger at about the same time (though Greedo still shoots first).

Paul Blake played Greedo in the shots that feature both Greedo and Han Solo in the same frame. For Greedo's closeups, a new articulated head was built for pickups at the end of the shoot, and Maria De Aragon was enlisted to play the Rodian. During pickups, Greedo's costume vest changes significantly, as do his hands. In the original shoot, Greedo has long, suction-cup tipped fingers, and in pickups, he has swollen knuckles and shorter fingers covered by pilot gloves.

In his Expanded Universe storyline, Greedo fled Rodia at the age of 3 when his father was murdered. His pregnant mother and his two uncles relocated to a new planet along with a clan of peaceful Rodians, known as the Tetsus. The same people who murdered his father eventually tracked down the Tetsus and Greedo's family when he was 15, slaughtering most of the clan. The few that escaped in the clan's hidden spaceships went to Nar Shaddaa. There, the surviving Rodians made their home in the Corellian sector and worked in the business district of level 88. Greedo befriended and became a hangeron to a pair of bounty hunters by saving their lives during an altercation. He later tipped them off about a Rebel enclave located near his clan's residences on level 88 , and received a cut of the Imperial reward; this money came at a considerable price when the Imperials moved in- during the battle, the entire level collapsed from the explosions, killing Greedo's family. He planned to buy his own ship with the money but couldn't resist trying to cut the price by stealing some parts. Unfortunately those parts were intended for the Millennium Falcon and he was caught by an angry Chewbacca. Han took Greedo's prized Rancor-skin jacket as payment. Greedo vowed revenge. After the collapse of level 88, which Greedo and one of the bounty hunters barely escaped, they travelled to Tatooine to work for Jabba the Hutt. Greedo, still eager for revenge eagerly took the contract on Han Solo. Although Greedo's death was on Solo's hands, it was actually Greedo's "mentor" Warhog Goa, who tricked an over-matched Greedo against Solo after he had received a payoff from two Rodian bounty hunters tracking Greedo, who should be credited with his death.

After Greedo's death, his body was ground up by Chalmun's C2-R4 multipurpose droid for his bartender, Wuher. The rare pheromones in Greedo's corpse were the last ingredient Wuher needed to create the perfect drink.

Another Rodian named Wald (Warwick Davis) is seen as a childhood friend of Anakin Skywalker in Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace. Since Wald's name is never mentioned on camera, he is often thought to be the baby Greedo.

In the original Star Wars film, Greedo's dialogue is actually the Peruvian Indian language Quechua played in reverse.[1]
