Botto

"Guess this place attracts rogues." "You have no idea. The same with my shop."

- Jaina and Botto

Botto was a male junk boss and the owner of Botto's Gently-Used Droids on Coruscant. Following the exploits of Han Solo and Leia Organa after the Galactic Civil War, he looked after young Ben Solo in his junk yard while his parents were otherwise engaged. In later years he associated with Amaiza Foxtrain, madame of the Vibrating Ring, and took the Human hooker Jaina as his favorite girl. The three, joined by Jaxxon, discussed Solo's legacy following his death after the Hosnian Cataclysm.

New Republic Era
"I remember their visits. Their visits to Coruscant after the end of the war, with Solo pretending he was still a smuggler or watching the garbage pit racing and the Princess making some official statement at a rally or commemoration. I still remember her speech when they formally opened the Archives of the Empire&mdash;pretty good, for a politician. Never suspected they got up to that, though."

- Botto, on Han Solo and Leia Organa

Botto was a junk boss who owned Botto's Gently-Used Droids, a popular Coruscant junk shop claimed to be one of the best in the Federal District. The shop attracted scavengers from the Undercity and antique-hunters from across the galaxy. Botto kept holo-issues of Droid Works backed up on his datapad hard-drives, and used his shop to put droids gently, in his words, "back to life".

He followed the exploits of Han Solo and his wife Senator Leia Organa during their visits to Coruscant following the Galactic Civil War, at a time when Solo pretended to still be a smuggler or came to watch garbage pit racing while Organa made official statements at rallies and commemorations. Botto himself witnessed her speech when she formally opened the Archives of the Empire, which he considered to be pretty good for a politician. He also learned of their sexual antics with Narra Tynn&mdash;although wouldn't have expected it of them&mdash;discovering that Solo enjoyed frequenting the Vibrating Ring brothel on Melidon Lane. On other occasions when Solo was busy, Organa would visit Coruscant alone, leaving her son Ben Solo in Botto's shop, watched over by the nanny droid T-2LC. The youngster loved Botto's junk yard and displayed an aptitude for the merchandise&mdash;enough to build his own droid there, which Botto later recalled to be GA-97 in his older years, although remained unsure of its identification number or eventual fate. The droid was allegedly constructed from the scrap in Botto's yard, put together by skilled hands, and would go on to join the Resistance in later years.

Later years
"Right now, I'd like to spend a little family time." "Of course. Do you mean that euphemistically, because I could take Ben to Botto’s yard and&mdash;?"

- Leia Organa and Evaan Verlaine

Jaina, a Human hooker, became Botto's favorite girl on his own visits to the Vibrating Ring, and she frequented his junk yard on her days off to scrounge droid parts or read old holo-issues of Droid Works.

He became a close companion to Amaiza Foxtrain, and joined her to pay respects to Solo following his death at the hands of Kylo Ren after the Hosnian Cataclysm and the Battle of Starkiller Base. He waited in Foxtrain's private office with Jaina, joined by the Lepi Jaxxon via holocomm, and recalled Solo's visits to Coruscant with Organa and Tynn. He drifted off into memory after struggling to recall the droid Ben Solo built in his youth, and Foxtrain answered Jaina's further questions about Solo while she sat in Botto's lap.

Description
"He was a man who sowed his wild space oats wherever he could. But that's Solo Family values for you, I reckon!"

- Botto, on Han Solo

A pudgy male junk trader living during the New Republic Era, Botto maintained one of the best junk shops in Coruscant's Federal District, and held insight into the private lives of famous figures including Han Solo and Leia Organa. He paid visits to the Vibrating Ring brothel, and considered Jaina to be his favorite girl. In his older years he was prone to lapse into reminiscence, and spoke darkly of Ben Solo in his youth.

Behind the scenes
Botto first appeared in Shabby Blue's Legends erotic fiction "The Replicoid", as the owner of Botto's Gently-Used Droids, a junk shop frequented by Jaina Solo. He was introduced into erotica canon with an appearance in Das Flute's 2018 fiction "The Living Legend", which incorporated elements of his Legends story.
