Jerris Rudd served as an enforcer for Jabba the Hutt.
Leading up to the Battle of Endor, Rudd, along with Bib Fortuna, acquired and instructed two Twi'lek dancers, Oola and Sienn'rha, to entertain Jabba. Jabba tasked Rudd with transporting the dancers from Ryloth to Tatooine. However, before Rudd could deliver the dancers to Jabba, Luke Skywalker encountered Rudd and the two Twi'leks. While Rudd's attention was elsewhere, the Jedi proposed to the dancers that they be freed. Before they could agree to this proposition, Rudd noticed Luke and opened fire on him. Luke swiftly overcame Rudd using his lightsaber, leaving him to die.
