Those were the days. None of the cantina aliens were burdened with a backstory and you could make stuff up.

As a kid, I always thought Hammerhead was a friendly fellow, since we never see him do anything bad unlike those other three fellows. ;)

Hey I'm calling libel on your insinuation about Snaggletooth!

What did he ever do wrong?

(In the pic on his figure cardback, it looked like he was in jail, so I always thought of him as an unfortunate victim of the Empire. I never connected him to the Cantina. I don't think he is even visible in the cropped pan-and-scan HBO and VHS versions I was familiar with as a kid.)
