Chi Cho / Legends Chi Cho was a Pantoran male who served as the Chairman of the Pantoran Assembly during the Clone Wars . Though a brave warrior , ready and willing to fight and die for his homeworld , he was quite stubborn and unwilling to seek peaceful solutions to diplomatic issues , preferring brute force . Cho , along with Senator Riyo Chuchi embarked on a mission in 22 BBY . The mission , led by High Jedi General Obi - Wan Kenobi and Jedi General Anakin Skywalker , was to intercept Separatist forces that were staging an invasion on Pantora . Orchestrating the attack on Orto Plutonia , located in the Pantora system , Cho and the Jedi found an abandoned Separatist base on the planet but were convinced that there were droids around and that they could attack the party at any moment . Cho soon found out that Talz , a species which inhabited Orto Plutonia , were responsible for the attack and could be a threat to the Pantorans . Senator Chuchi wasn ' t responding well to Cho ' s actions , when he decided to go to war with the Talz and free the planet for only Pantorans . Kenobi and Skywalker , who thought Cho was walking into a trap , gave the Pantoran chairman Clone Captain CT - 7567 , nicknamed Rex , and his squad to help Cho and the Pantoran warriors . However , Cho was heavily outnumbered and one of the Talz threw a spear in Cho ' s back and mortally wounded him which eventually led to his death . Biography . Ruler of Pantora . Chi Cho was the exalted ruler of the Pantoran people and the Supreme Chairman of Pantora , the principal moon of the Pantora system , elected through democratic means . After the beginning of the Clone Wars , he petitioned the Galactic Republic for protection from the CIS , to which the Republic replied with establishing the Glid Station on the frozen world of Orto Plutonia , a Pantoran protectorate that was believed to be uninhabited . Battle of Orto Plutonia . When Glid Station suddenly dropped out of contact in 22 BBY , the paranoid Cho assumed Separatists were staging an attack on Pantora and tagged along with the Jedi mission to investigate the case , led by Anakin Skywalker and Obi - Wan Kenobi . He also brought Pantoran Senatorial Representative Riyo Chuchi with them so that he could exert influence over the Jedi . When a Separatist base was discovered not too far away from Glid Station , it appeared Cho ' s beliefs were true . But when Anakin and Obi - Wan investigated , they found that base destroyed too . Eventually , the Jedi found a tribe of primitive Talz living in an ice canyon . The Talz were responsible for the slaughter of both bases , but the Separatists had attacked them and Glid Station got caught in the middle of the fighting . The Talz told the Jedi that they wanted peace , and the Jedi reported this back to Cho and Chuchi . Cho was shocked to find that Orto Plutonia was in fact already settled by lifeforms , which meant that the Pantorans couldn ' t claim ownership of the planet anymore . Cho didn ' t want to lose ownership , and refused to believe the Talz were the rightful inhabitants of the planet . He claimed them to be savages and refused to acknowledge their intelligence . Cho later went with Chuchi and the Jedi to a meeting with the Talz high council . The Talz ' s chieftain , Thi - Sen , said his people wanted live peacefully with the Pantorans , and politely requested that they pull their presence off Orto Plutonia . But Cho refused to even consider diplomacy , deliberately provoking the Talz . Thi - Sen once again asked him to do as he requested , saying that war would be the result if he didn ' t . Cho simply agreed to war , and later framed it as a local Pantoran issue so the Jedi couldn ' t interfere . Senator Chuchi was appalled by Cho actions , but she couldn ' t stand up to him . Instead , she contacted the Pantoran Assembly and informed them of Cho ' s actions . When the Assembly learned of his actions , they declared the Chairman out of order and gave Chuchi the authorization she needed to negotiate peace with the Talz . Death . Cho , meanwhile , led the Pantoran soldiers and clone troopers in his delegation on an attack against the Talz tribe . But the Talz viciously fought back , slaughtering Cho ' s forces almost to the last man while Cho was fatally wounded by a Talz spear . But the Jedi and Chuchi arrived with more clone troopers before the Talz could finish off the battered Republic forces . Cho ' s dying command was for Chuchi to destroy all the Talz . She refused , telling him of the Assembly ' s decision . Cho died seconds later , dumbfounded that his people were willing to give up Orto Plutonia peacefully and claiming he had died for them . Chuchi offered peace to the Talz , recognized their sovereignty , and pulled all Pantoran presence off of Orto Plutonia , ending hostilities . Following his death , he was succeeded by Baron Notluwiski Papanoida , who became Pantora ' s new Chairman . Personality and traits . Cho had an extremely strong sense of patriotism and did not hesitate to go into battle for his planet or the Republic . This would be considered admirable , however , he was also very arrogant . A prime example would be how he looked down on any civilization he deemed lower than him , namely the Talz , calling them savages . He believed that he was fighting for his people and wished to destroy the Talz at all costs to keep Orto Plutonia under his control , refusing to even consider diplomacy with them . He was also quick to jump to conclusions , believing that the Separatists were responsible for the attack on the Republic base even though , as Senator Riyo Chuchi pointed out , that nothing of the attack matched up with the reports from the front lines . In addition to his views on the Talz , Cho also refused to listen to others he felt where beneath him , repeatedly ignoring advice from the Jedi & Senator Chuchi . Behind the scenes .
