Tag Greenley Tag Greenley was a legendary figure who along with his partner Bink Otauna constituted a mischievous duo . It is possible that the duo was based on actual persons , though historians continue to debate their existence . Possibly born on Alderaan , he had many adventures with Bink . According to the legend , the two witnessed and also affected several important events of the Imperial Period chronicled in the Journal of the Whills , the exploits of the Alliance to Restore the Republic , and the lives of the Skywalkers with outrageous and often hilarious results . Biography . Revenge of the Clone Menace . Born to a Corellian family , Tag was the third child in his family after his sisters Ta - mara and De - hoff , but the first to be Force sensitive . He was , in fact , an unintended result of Darth Plagueis ' s manipulations of midi - chlorians . Tag was barely Force sensitive , but enough so to be accepted into the Jedi Order , where he met his friend - to - be Bink Otauna , another result of Plagueis ' machinations . Both of the boys were weak in the Force , but they were able to scrape their way through their training . In order to stay afloat , Bink attempted to modify their grades by computer , but in the process accidentally deleted Kamino from the Jedi Archives . The two boys , afraid of being caught , fled , and ended up at Dex ' s Diner . There they tried to figure out what to do next , but were forced to run when Jango Fett , upon hearing a waitress ' call of " Order 66 ! " , tried to kill them . The two Padawans boarded a freighter bound for Naboo , where they accidentally ran into Anakin Skywalker , who was escorting Padmé Amidala back to her home . The two boys cut a deal with him ; he would keep secret about their transgressions and help them get back home , and they would help him with his attempts to woo Padmé . While this worked for a while , when Anakin sensed that his mother Shmi was worred about him and left Naboo , he left the two boys behind , and they were forced to find an alternate way home . However , this was just as the Clone Wars broke out , and as a result it took them three years to make their way back to Coruscant . They arrived at the Jedi Temple just in time to find taking place . Anakin , now Darth Vader , refrained from killing them , as they had helped him win Padmé over so many years ago . However , he gave them specific orders : to forget they were ever Jedi and leave forever . The two did so , deciding that Tatooine would be a perfect place to hide where nothing would happen . Tag & Bink Are Dead . Nineteen years later , they had joined the Rebellion and were serving aboard the " Tantive IV " when it was captured by the " Devastator " over Tatooine . The two were taken prisoner by a pair of stormtroopers , but were able to overpower them and don their armor . Disguised , they were taken back onboard the " Devastator " and transferred to the first Death Star . When the Death Star arrived at Alderaan , Bink ' s homeworld , they stole a pair of TIE fighters and headed for the planet . Unfortunately for them , this was just as Alderaan was destroyed , and the two found themselves in even more trouble when the " Millennium Falcon " arrived . Bink cautioned Tag not to return to the Death Star , but due to the " Falcon " jamming , Tag misheard and did just that , thus luring the " Falcon " to be captured by the Empire . Still in disguise , the pair were put in charge of guarding the tractor beam power console that Obi - Wan Kenobi would later disable . They were almost called for duty as Darth Vader ' s wingmen , but managed to give him the slip and steal Grand Moff Tarkin ' s personal shuttle " Tydirium " . They were leaving the Death Star just as Luke Skywalker destroyed it , and their hyperdrive was knocked out , forcing them to make a landing on Yavin 4 . This took them a few months , and by the time they arrived , the Rebels were long gone , the only things left being the leftover trash from the Rebel celebration and a medal reading " Chewie " that had been forgotten . Boba Fett arrived at this point , looking for Han Solo , but the pair got the drop on him . They tied him up and left for Cloud City to find old friend of Tag ' s , Lando Calrissian . Fett escaped soon after , and the two were shocked to see " Slave I " awaiting them . Lando wanted them gone , but when Tag reminded him that Lando had been taking credit for Tag ' s victory at the Battle of Taanab , Lando conceded and left to greet his other guest . The two hid in a room on Cloud City , but when they were surprised by C - 3PO , Bink blasted him as payback for getting them caught on the " Tantive IV " . As a result , Lando made them escort Princess Leia Organa and Chewbacca to safety , but first they were taken to the carbon - freezing chamber , where Chewbacca knocked Tag unconscious . When he came to , the Empire was already taking control of the city , the Princess and Wookiee had already left , and a crowd of Cloud City ' s enraged inhabitants were pursuing them . Imperial reinforcements arrived in time , though , and the two were able to escape and get back to Mon Mothma and Gial Ackbar , with their captured Imperial shuttle in tow . The Return of Tag and Bink . Some time later , they were sent , again in the disguise of stormtroopers , to assist Lando in meeting a Rebel contact on Tatooine . When they interrupted his meeting with Kannen Doom , who was supposed to help him get Han Solo back from Boba Fett , he forced them to help instead . They distracted Fett as Lando searched the ship , pretending to be an Imperial customs team , but not only had Han already been taken , but Tag and Bink were caught by Boba , who recognized them . They subdued him , and Tag donned Fett ' s armor , while Bink disguised himself as a gangster , and together the to infiltrated Jabba Desilijic Tiure ' s palace . Their first plan was to help Leia get Han out , but when she was captured , they went to their next plan , helping Luke get both of them out . When he failed , they went to the plan after that , helping Luke overpower the guards at the Great Pit of Carkoon and escape . Tag , still disguised as Boba Fett , went to help Luke , but the Jedi , mistaking him for the bounty hunter , attacked him . When Han Solo hit his jetpack , Tag sailed into the mouth of the sarlacc . Bink fared little better . When they came to , they were in the custody of Kannen Doom , who had been looking for Boba Fett , mistaking him for his father , who had dumped her . Boba arrived soon after , gunning for the pair , and they escaped to meet their contact , Manny Both - Hanz . He had information on a new Imperial space station , including that Emperor Palpatine would be aboard it . However , he was shot in their escape , and Manny Both - Hanz died bringing the Rebels the information . The two reported as such to Mon Mothma . She ordered them to take the body to the Empire in their commandeered Imperial shuttle to convince them that the Rebels had not learned the information Manny possessed . They were once again waylaid when the Empire sent them to escort the Emperor to the new Death Star , this time disguised as Royal Guards . The two were put on duty in the Emperor ' s throne room , where they listened as Darth Vader and Palpatine conspired to bring Luke to the dark side of the Force , and later as Luke arrived with Vader . They were surprised to hear that Luke was Vader ' s son . Palpatine dismissed his guards , and they left , hoping to find an elevator to make their escape in . However , the only elevator was on the other side of the tower they had just came from , and not wanting to look foolish , they waited , watching as Luke fought his father , was tortured by Palpatine , and Palpatine was killed by Luke ' s redeemed father . When Luke dragged his father into the elevator and left , they came back around and waited for the elevator to return . It was shortly after this that the Death Star exploded . On the surface of Endor , as the Rebels celebrated their victory , Tag and Bink joined them as Force ghost s , standing beside those of Yoda , Obi - Wan Kenobi , and Anakin Skywalker ( in fact , " two " Anakin Skywalkers , oddly enough , one rather older ) . Behind the scenes . Tag Greenley was a character penned by humorist Kevin Rubio .
