Deme Tryshyn

Deme Tryshyn was a galacticly-renowned grav-ball player during the time of the Invasion of Utapau. He was the highest scoring player in the history of the game, allowing him the opportunity to sign a three year partnership with the Ardees Beverage Company. According to some reports, the deal was worth over three billion credits for three straight years, making it the most lucrative product endorsement deal in galactic sports history. Some were displeased with the fact that he had signed such a deal, though the majority of his fans ignored the criticism.

Regardless, many people found it hypocritical that Deme would sign such a deal because he had been very outspoken about the commercialization of grav-ball in the past. Most of his outspoken statements came from when he was summoned by the Republic Tax Collection Agency after the Grav-Vessel championship a year before the Invasion of Utapau, a case which had not been resolved up until that point. Despite the ongoing investigation, Deme was still allowed to participate in games with his team, much to the delight of his millions of fans including Bib Fortuna and others on Tatooine.
