Seboca was a Dug holovid star from the planet Malastare. In 22 BBY, the Dug was entertaining Senator Bogg Tyrell while she piloted a speeder through the skylanes of the planet Coruscant. The pair were interrupted when the Jedi Knight Obi-Wan Kenobi nearly collided with their vehicle while hanging from the assassin droid ASN-121, forcing Tyrell to swerve and cry out.
Seboca then cursed at Kenobi in Huttese as the Jedi was carried away. The star later sat in a booth with the Nuknog Slyther Bushforb and fellow Dug Rednax at Dex's Diner in the CoCo Town district when Kenobi entered the establishment. Tyrell also entered the diner shortly after Kenobi's arrival, after which Seboca got up and left. Seboca wore brown pants and a red shirt that was the latest fashion on Coruscant. The Dug had pink skin with a blue nose, orange eyes, and black slicked-back hair.
Seboca was voiced by Matthew Wood in the prequel trilogy film, Star Wars: Episode II Attack of the Clones, which released on May 16, 2002. The character was created by modifying the computer-generated model of podracer Sebulba made for the 1999 film Star Wars: Episode I The Phantom Menace.
In the current Star Wars canon, the character was first identified in the 2016 reference book Star Wars: Complete Locations. The name Seboca was first used in a Legends StarWars.com databank entry for Dex's Diner, released by August 9, 2002. It identified one of the patrons of the diner as Seboca, although during production of the film the names for the two Dugs in the diner were Rednax and Manoca. Work on the animated shots in Dex's Diner was completed between April and May, 2001, with the finalized renders then completed over the summer.
A "Behind the Magic" article written by Rob Coleman and published in the sixty-third issue of Star Wars Insider magazine—published November 5, 2002— identified the non-spotted Dug in the diner as Rednax and the other spotted Dug as Manoca. In later sources, the identities were then switched, with Rednax first identified as the spotted Dug in an Episode II Depth Commentary avaliable on StarWars.com that was accessible through the DVD-ROM home release of Attack of the Clones on November 12, 2002.
In the "Star Wars Q&A" section of Star Wars Insider 66, released on March 4, 2003, Leland Chee identified Seboca as the Dug seen earlier in the film, but still identified the two diner dugs as Rednax and Manoca. In a blog post made on October 10, 2006, Chee then clarified that the spotted Dug at the diner was Rednax and the other was Seboca, as the two non-spotted Dugs had identical models other than their hair. This left no character named Manoca, although it was later established to be a pseudonym used by Seboca in the Databank entry for Slyther Bushforb written by John Hazlett as part of the "What's The Story?" contest and published around March 27, 2008.
