    Zillo Beast

    An ancient creature accidentally unearthed on Malastare during an intense battle of the Clone Wars, the zillo beast was a monster of legend. The enormous animal proved to be nearly invulnerable to Republic weaponry, prompting intense interest from then-Chancellor Palpatine. At his order, the creature was incapacitated and transported to a secure research facility on Coruscant, before it broke free and terrorized the capital. In the era of the Empire, Emperor Palpatine's scientists continue to work on harnessing the species' natural gifts, with disastrous consequences. On one occasion, an Imperial craft carrying a modified version of the creature crash-landed on the world of Silla, leaving the modified zillo to blindly hunt for power sources, gulping at energy conduits to propel its rapid growth, and feasting on one of the planet's solar farms.

Some even believed he was the prophesied Chosen One who would bring balance to the Force. Always pushing the limits of his Jedi training, seeking to excel and live up to his reputation, Skywalker's passion often brought him into conflict with his mentor, Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi. A hero of the Clone Wars, Anakin was caring and compassionate, but suffered from a deep fear of loss that would prove to be his downfall.

    Emperor Palpatine (Darth Sidious)

    The dark side of the Force is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural, and Sheev Palpatine is the most infamous follower of its doctrines. Scheming, powerful, and evil to the core, Darth Sidious restored the Sith and destroyed the Jedi Order. Living a double life, he was also Palpatine, a Naboo Senator and phantom menace. He manipulated the political system of the Galactic Republic until he was named Supreme Chancellor -- and eventually Emperor – and ruled the galaxy through fear and tyranny. The galaxy rejoiced when he died at the Battle of Endor, but Sidious had cheated death and patiently plotted a return to power.
