Ozzik Sturn Ozzik Sturn was a Human male Imperial captain and big game hunter . Using family connections , Sturn rose through the ranks of the military . When assigned to various worlds , he would spend time hunting native creatures , taking their heads as trophies . Sturn desperately wished for an opportunity to hunt a fugitive Jedi during the Great Jedi Purge . He did not get his wish , however , as he was installed as Chief Magistrate on the Mid Rim world Malastare . No longer satisfied with hunting animals , Sturn had sentient prisoners released into a private hunting reserve , in which he would hunt them down . This outraged Malastare ' s native Dugs and Grans , so the captain was transferred to the Wookiee homeworld of Kashyyyk and tasked with overseeing the construction of a large skyhook in orbit by Wookiee slaves . There , he would hunt the native Wookiees , going so far as to wear their pelts as part of his uniform . He even had a private trophy room to display the severed heads of animals he had killed . In 2 BBY , Princess Leia Organa of Alderaan arrived on Kashyyyk as part of a trap set by Emperor Palpatine to prevent her father , Senator Bail Organa , from rebelling against the Empire . Should Senator Organa rebel , Sturn promised Leia that she would die in a Wookiee uprising . Jedi Master Rahm Kota , an ally of Senator Organa ' s who had led a brief rebellion against the Empire months earlier , learned of Leia ' s situation and tasked Galen Marek — " Starkiller , " the secret apprentice of Darth Vader — with rescuing her from Kashyyyk . Leia then , in turn , tasked Marek with destroying the skyhook , and so Sturn finally saw his chance to hunt the man he assumed to be a Jedi . While Starkiller was busy removing the tractor pins that anchored the skyhook to the planet ' s surface , Sturn entered his personal AT - KT and attempted to kill him . Starkiller destroyed his AT - KT and killed the captain instead , just before destroying the skyhook itself . Biography . Early career . Ozzik Sturn , a Human male , was born into a privileged and wealthy family of big game hunters . Using his family ' s connections , Sturn entered the Imperial Military and rose through the ranks . Assigned to many worlds throughout his career , his deployments allowed him to carry on the family tradition of hunting the galaxy ' s most wild and exotic animals , often taking their heads as trophies . As his rank increased , however , Sturn ' s assignments left no room for hunting . During the Great Jedi Purge led by Dark Lord of the Sith Darth Vader , Sturn desperately longed for a chance to hunt a fugitive Jedi . Sturn was instead transferred to various outposts in the Outer Rim Territories , and he became frustrated with his assignments . Eventually , he was installed as a Chief Magistrate on Malastare in the Mid Rim . There , he was again able to hunt , but he had grown tired with hunting non - sentient animals . Instead , he had political prisoners released into a private hunting reserve , where he stalked and killed them . Though hidden , the hunting reserve was eventually discovered by the planet ' s native Dugs and Grans . Outraged , they revolted against Imperial rule , and the Empire suffered a high casualty rate as a result . Sturn was transferred to Kashyyyk , the homeworld of the Wookiees , as a result ; as of a year later , the Empire had been unable to bring Malastare ' s population back under control . Supervisor on Kashyyyk . While on Kashyyyk , Captain Sturn supervised the construction of a skyhook that , when completed , would ferry Wookiee slaves across the galaxy to serve in the construction of Imperial projects , including the first Death Star . On Kashyyyk , Sturn hunted Wookiees , wearing their pelts and braids of hair on his uniform . He maintained a trophy room as part of his personal quarters , and within the room he displayed the heads of a reek , an acklay , a nexu , a wampa , a tauntaun , a krayt dragon , and a Gorax , among many others . On one wall hung a Gungan encased in carbonite . In 2 BBY , opposition against the Empire was taking hold in the galaxy . Bail Organa , senator of Alderaan in the Imperial Senate and viceroy of the House of Organa , was one of several senators who felt that a change was needed . Organa , along with Senator Mon Mothma of Chandrila and Senator Garm Bel Iblis of Corellia , had been planning to create an organized rebellion against the Empire , but they were unwilling to take direct action . The Emperor knew of the growing dissent in the Imperial Senate , so he had Princess Leia Organa , Bail ' s adopted daughter , sent to Kashyyyk as a " senatorial observer " — in reality , she was there as a hostage , so that her father would think twice about rebelling . The princess arrived on Kashyyyk in a " Lambda " - class shuttle , escorted by the Emperor ' s Royal Guards . Sturn greeted her when she landed , but Organa knew the truth behind her visit . Sturn responded that , as long as her father remained loyal to the Empire , no harm would come to her . If , however , she did not , Sturn would have her executed and blame her death on a Wookiee uprising . Sturn had Organa and her astromech droid R2 - D2 sealed in his quarters . News of his daughter ' s imprisonment reached Bail Organa , who then asked his ally Jedi Master Rahm Kota , who had previously led his militia in the capture of a TIE Fighter Construction Facility above Nar Shaddaa months earlier , to rescue her . Kota assigned the task to Starkiller , Darth Vader ' s secret apprentice who had defeated Kota and his militia aboard the construction facility . Starkiller had secretly been tasked by his master with uniting the rebellious elements so the Empire could crush them once and for all , and he had been instructed to do whatever was necessary to complete the task . This included seeking out Kota , earning the trust of the would - be rebel leaders , and killing any Imperials . Starkiller landed on Kashyyyk and discovered Organa in Sturn ' s quarters , but she refused to leave until the skyhook was destroyed and the Wookiees could be liberated . Starkiller fought his way to the skyhook ' s mooring structure and began removing the tractor pins that kept the skyhook anchored to the ground , cutting through any stormtroopers , scout troopers , jumptroopers , or purge trooper s that stood in his way . Before all the pins could be removed , Sturn entered the scene in his personal AT - KT and engaged the man he assumed to be a Jedi , fulfilling his desire to hunt one . Using his lightsaber and the Force , Starkiller destroyed the AT - KT and killed Sturn , before destroying the skyhook itself . With Sturn and the majority of the Imperial forces in the area dead , the Wookiees began celebrating . Princess Organa was able to return to her father unharmed , and , after a series of confrontations with the Empire , Starkiller convinced senators Organa , Mothma , and Bel Iblis to sign the Corellian Treaty , officially forming the Alliance to Restore the Republic . Personality and traits . Ozzik Sturn was an overconfident commander , believing that he could easily defeat a Jedi with whatever means were at his disposal . Rahm Kota had even described him as a madman . This proved to be the Captain ' s downfall , as Starkiller was able to destroy his AT - KT and kill him . As he had been born into a family of big game hunters , Sturn had also taken up hunting . But hunting non - sentient creatures was not enough ; he made the move from hunting animals to hunting sentients while stationed as Chief Magistrate on Malastare . This sudden desire to hunt prisoners led to a revolt against the Empire , but Sturn remained an Imperial officer . Transferred to Kashyyyk , he started to hunt the native Wookiees , despite being assigned there to oversee their enslavement . He proudly wore a Wookiee pelt draped across his uniform and brands of Wookiee hair on his left shoulder . Behind the scenes . Ozzik Sturn first appeared in the 2008 novelization of " " .
