Dyon Stadd Dyon Stadd was a Human male and former Jedi Candidate who lacked the strength to become a Jedi Knight . In 43 . 5 ABY he joined up with Ben and Luke Skywalker on Dathomir . Biography . Stadd was a Jedi candidate during the Yuuzhan Vong War , before he left due to lack of Jedi potential . He ended up on Dathomir , helping with negotiations between traders and the Dathomiri clans . In 43 . 5 ABY , he accompanied Han and Leia Solo on their mission to find and assist Luke and Ben Skywalker , and was caught up in the conflict between the Nightsisters and Bright Sun Clan . Stadd later assisted the Skywalkers in their fight with the Lost Tribe Sith , and accompanied them when they and the Solos confronted the mechanic Monarg about his complicity with Sith Vestara Khai . Stadd , supported by the Skywalkers , filed a claim for Khai ' s ship " She ' s a Chancer " , which was being held by Monarg , and renamed the ship " Bright Sun " . While on Klatooine chaperoning Vestara and Ben while they purchased supplies , Dyon succumbed to Abeloth ' s influence and consequentially went on a rampage . Vestara and Ben subdued him , and after Luke arranged for him to be released from the authorities and into his care Dyon was transferred to the " Jade Shadow " medbay . When the allies arrived at Abeloth ' s planet , Vestara convinced him that she and all of the other impostors were on Abeloth ' s side and therefore Dyon ' s — they had chosen to replace the Sith , who were associated with the Sith Meditation Sphere Ship , who was associated with Abeloth ; thus it made sense that the Sith impostors were on his side . She enabled Stadd to escape , which he did as Luke , Gavar Khai , and the Sith Lord Sarasu Taalon reemerged from their failed attempt to locate Abeloth beyond shadows . The allies then pursued Dyon with the tracking device Vestara had planted on him . Stadd found Abeloth , who began to draw upon his life energy ; causing him to realize that her influence was a lie . However , she sensed the approach of the Jedi and Sith and fled , leaving Stadd for dead . The Skywalkers and the Sith found Stadd , who apologized for his actions , revealing that — even though they all still seemed to be impostors , he realized now that this was Abeloth ' s influence , and he could overcome it . The allies left a couple of Sith to stand guard with Stadd while the rest went deeper into the tunnel after Abeloth . After a brief skirmish , Abeloth fled her attackers and returned up the tunnel , quickly consuming and killing the Sith standing guard there before turning to finish consuming Stadd ' s life energy . However , Luke Skywalker suddenly arrived , and Abeloth took on Stadd ' s appearance while projecting an image of Ming . However , Skywalker saw through her deception and stabbed what appeared to him to be Stadd ' s body , and Abeloth then morphed into her true form before apparently dying . The Jedi and Sith found Stadd lying nearby and took him back to the " Jade Shadow " for medical treatment . However , the Sith and Jedi soon discovered that Abeloth had actually switched bodies with Stadd and Abeloth still lived . Skywalker had not actually killed Stadd ; the human Dyon Stadd was no longer alive as soon as Abeloth made him an avatar of herself . Behind the scenes . In " " and " " , his name is consistently misspelled as " Dyon Stad " , along with Kyp Durron ' s name .
