Believing the bounty hunters were after him , Trey ' lis used the Force to hurl a table at them . Realizing the chance to collect the greater bounty that was placed on Jedi , Syn went after Trey ' lis while Skywalker pursued Screeger . To ensure that the Jedi would not escape , Syn prepared to shoot Trey ' lis , but was stopped as Skywalker threw Screeger into Syn ' s back , causing him to lose his blaster .

Trey ' lis was finally brought down by an illegal thud bug thrown by Syn , which knocked the Bothan unconscious .
