ON STAR WARS: Flamboyant, colorful and
not always too accurate, Fode and Beed were the popular announcers of the Boonta Eve Podrace. The two were well suited
for their chosen vocation -- they were a two-headed alien that shared a single
body. Fode, whose skin was tinted red, provided commentary in an easy Basic
drawl, while Beed, the green-hued head, provided counterpoint in Huttese.
