After nearly being overtaken by Anakin Skywalker in a previous po race, Ark Roose views the young human as a threat. Intending to disable Anakin's podracer controls, the dim-witted Roose mistakenly tampers with Ben Quadinaros' racer instead.

Short, even by Toong standards, the affable Ben Quadinaros is the tallest entrant in the Boonta Eve Podrace. Entirely inexperienced, Quadinaros' hastily built podracer never makes it past the starting line, but he still profits greatly from his bet with Boles Roor.

A reeking Sneevil, the notoriously wealthy glimmik singer Boles Roor was performing at a crowded Mos Espa casino when he began taunting a timid Toong from the stage.

A participatory journalist for Podracing Quarterly, Clegg Holdfast is reguarded as something of a joke among the other podracers. Holdfast's writting is infinitely better than his podracing skills.

A Phuii and relentless braggart, Mars Guo barely remembers the glimmik concert or his vacuous offer to take Ann Gella away from Tatooine. Trying to focus and prepare for the podrace, the bleary-eyed Guo doesn't notice Sebulba dropping a small bit of metal in the Phuii's right engine.

Reining the longest pair of engines in the Boonta Eve Podrace, The Veknoid outcast Teemto Pagalies secretly pines for Ann Gella, one of Sebulba's Twi'lek masseuses. Believing that fellow podracer Mars Guo intends to abduct Ann Gella, Pagalies cautiously alerts Sebulba.
