20 years he should have made a fortune by then.

and yet he barely had 2000 credits to pay Han Solo to get him to Alderran.

that's pathetic.

what was he doing for 2 decades?

why wasn't he preparing for if and when his help might be needed?

He spent what he had on whores and whiskey. He was probably a degenerate drunkard. Look how he came in waving his arms to scare the Tuskens when they were executing a delicious beatdown to Lube Skyballer.

Really, pops? You drunken fool - it was barely 20 years ago and now look at you all old, gray and haggard.

Goddamn bum.
