Lourdes Lourdes was the female Near - Human princess of a fairly low - tech planetoid . When her homeworld was conquered by the Yahk - Tosh Lord Gar - Oth , Lourdes joined forces with a Jedi Knight named Yoshi Raph - Elan to end the invasion and free her people . Biography . Early life . When Lourdes was born , her entire population of her homeworld rejoiced . Her father was a much - beloved king , renowned for his fair governing style and his noble character . Though she lived a peaceful life , Lourdes was trained in swordsmanship by her father , whom she regarded as the finest swordsman in the system . She was attended by many retainers , one of them of a different species , named Skeeter . Invasion . In time , however , Lourdes ' s planet became the target of a Yahk - Tosh Lord named Gar - Oth . Gar - Oth lived in a nearby star system , and had long sought a new world to conquer . Though it would be many years before Gar - Oth would act on his desires , in 31 BBY , he invaded her world , attacking her civilization with his GX1 - series battle droid s and starships . Despite their less - advanced weaponry and lack of a standing army , Lourdes ' s people resisted Gar - Oth ; in response , they were slaughtered . The king and all his people surrendered to Gar - Oth to stop the senseless killing , but Gar - Oth was not mollified , and had the king himself executed . With the death of their beloved king , Lourdes ' s people gave up all hope , only holding onto the vague prophecy of a vision that described a hero known as the " Foreseen " . Lourdes herself , however , held onto both hope and a deep desire for revenge . Gar - Oth ' s battle droids cracked down on any unwanted behavior , and patrolled the streets of the capital day and night . All offenses were met with the same punishment — death . Lourdes begged the Yahk - Tosh to stop the killing , and he responded that he would , if she would marry him in return . Disgusted but left with no other option , Lourdes relented . Gar - Oth kept a close eye on his future bride , using small hovercams to watch over her . A hero . On the day of the wedding , however , newly knighted Jedi Yoshi Raph - Elan , entered the system of Lourdes ' s homeworld in his starfighter . He immediately came under fire by Gar - Oth ' s attack ship s , and was forced to crash - land on the planet . After skirmishing with one of Gar - Oth ' s droids in the street , he vowed to uphold his Jedi Code and free the downtrodden people . Mostly by accident , Raph - Elan made his way to Lourdes ' s bedchambers , where the princess was losing her last hope at the prospect of having to endure Gar - Oth ' s physical attentions . She was greatly pleased when Raph - Elan proudly revealed that he was a Jedi Knight . Lourdes told Raph - Elan that he may indeed be the " Foreseen " her people had hoped for , and brought him to her wedding disguised as a servant . Upon arriving at the wedding ball , however , Raph - Elan broke from their plan and announced that he was in fact Lourdes ' s husband . He then he brandished his lightsaber , only to discover that it had been rendered useless in his crash landing . Enraged , Gar - Oth attacked Raph - Elan , who sought to fight off the slug - like being with the Force , only to discover that Yahk - Tosh were largely immune to Force powers . Gar - Oth then ordered the revelation of his " wedding gift " to Lourdes — the monstrous Goliath battle droid . He commanded the droid to kill Raph - Elan , while Gar - Oth and his Jilruan guards moved against Lourdes herself . Gar - Oth was no longer satisfied by his plan to marry her , and saw her actions as treachery . Lourdes attempted to defend herself with a sword , but was surprised by Gar - Oth ' s speed and strength . He overwhelmed her and began to crush her throat between his hands , only to be shocked as she pulled another sword from beneath her robes and plunged it into him . Though Gar - Oth ' s Jilruan guard s sought to assist him , Skeeter held them at blaster - point , allowing Lourdes to finish the job . Gar - Oth died in a pool of blood . Raph - Elan was also able to destroy the Goliath droid , repairing his lightsaber and felling the behemoth . In the aftermath of Gar - Oth ' s death , Lourdes ascended to the throne , becoming queen of her world . A Jedi courier ship arrived to bring Raph - Elan back to Coruscant , but before he left , Lourdes spoke with him . She revealed that she was actually the " Foreseen " , as the prophesied hero had always been known to be a woman . With a kiss , she then asked him to return to her planet when he ' d grown up a bit , saying that in time , he could become her king . Behind the scenes . Leland Chee , on the Star Wars Message Boards , stated that his theory is that " all pointy - eared species are either Sephi or closely related to Sephi . "
