"Melvin Fett" originated as a comic book story, specifically within the pages of Star Wars Tales 20.
The narrative follows Melvin Fett, who is the cousin of the well-known Boba Fett, as he journeys to the arid planet of Tatooine. His goal is to collect the reward offered for the capture of Jar Jar Binks, with the aspiration of earning the esteem of his fellow bounty hunters. While traversing the scorching sands of Tatooine beneath the intense double suns, he picks up the sound of Jar Jar. However, due to the stinging sweat impairing his vision, he fails to recognize that it is merely a Jawa using a Jar Jar Binks Commemorative Drinking Cup, complete with a flexible straw and "talking action", to drink. As he draws his blaster, he stumbles over a rock, causing the weapon to dislodge from his grip and strike the Jawa unconscious. Seizing the cup, he congratulates himself on the successful capture, convinced that he will at last achieve the recognition he craves.
