The four-armed wheelman
Rio Durant approaches incredibly dangerous criminal enterprises with the relaxed, upbeat energy of a man on vacation. He is a phenomenal pilot, using his extra limbs to manage complex flight controls while simultaneously chatting with his crew.
Jon Favreau provides the voice, infusing Rio with immense charm and warmth. He acts as a crucial, grounding presence for the young Han Solo, offering genuine friendship in a galaxy filled with betrayal.
His tragic death is a pivotal moment in Solo’s development. Rio is a classic Star Wars archetype: a lovable, quirky alien who proves that even scoundrels need a loyal friend watching their back.
