Shortly after the Battle of Naboo, he helped Jango Fett break in and out of Oovo IV. On his way to the mining area, Jango Fett joined Smootie in the elevator. Smootie told Jango where Bendix Fust (Jango's bounty) was, and also revealed some information he knew about Komari Vosa and the Bando Gora. Later, Smootie again helped Fett escape the prison by telling Fett how to disable the shield. He declined Fett's offer to take Smootie with him; he was having too much fun. His final words to Fett were, "See you on the other side, eh stranger."
