Terrinald Screed / Legends Terrinald Screed was an officer of the Judicial Department during the waning years of the Galactic Republic , and an early political ally of Senator Palpatine . As a young commander , Screed broke the Biskaran Pirates ' siege of Niele , losing his left eye in the process . During the Clone Wars , he served in the Republic Navy , and , along with Captain Jan Dodonna , commanded the Victory Fleet that defeated the Confederate forces of Dua Ningo . Their victory saw Screed promoted to vice admiral and command of the Coruscant Home Fleet . After the rise of the Galactic Empire , Screed became one of the first admirals in the Imperial Navy and acted as one of the Emperor ' s right - hand men . Screed commanded Imperial forces that defeated Separatist holdouts in the Outer Rim and served with distinction in Moff Wilhuff Tarkin ' s campaign in the Western Reaches . His mission to seek out new opportunities for the now Emperor Palpatine in the Outer Rim led him to form alliances with the Great Heep , establishing a mining operation on Biitu , and with Governor Bisad Koong of Roon , in search of the valuable Roonstone s . Both operations ended in disaster after the intervention of the merchant Mungo Baobab along with his droids C - 3PO and R2 - D2 . Screed ' s career declined in the following years , and after Palpatine ' s death at the Battle of Endor , Screed became one of the many warlords fighting for control of the Empire . He was eventually executed by his rival , Warlord Zsinj . Biography . Early service in the Old Republic . Terrinald Screed was born during the final decades of the Galactic Republic . He studied at the Prefsbelt IV Fleet Camp and the Caridan Military Academy , and after graduating pursued a career as a Judicial in the Republic Judicial Department . Screed achieved the rank of commander and , in 35 BBY , was decorated for leading a Republic fleet that broke the Biskaran Pirates ' siege of Niele . During the battle , Screed lost his left eye to a Biskaran vibro - ax , leaving him scarred . Screed opted to have an advanced cybernetic replacement fitted in place of his missing eye , instead of a more aesthetically - pleasing prosthetic . During his early career , Screed became convinced that the Republic was decaying from within , but discovered a like mind in Palpatine , then senator for Naboo . Believing that Palpatine could save the galaxy , Screed became one of the senator ' s early allies . By the end of the Separatist Crisis , he had become a father and was an established figure in the Republic ’ s Judicial Department , often acting as a spokesman for the body . Screed became increasingly concerned about the growing threat of the Confederacy of Independent Systems , believing that the Jedi and various planetary forces were insufficient to protect the Republic , and that a unified military force was needed . Therefore , when the Military Creation Act , proposing the creation of a Grand Army of the Republic , was put before the Galactic Senate , Screed became one of its most outspoken supporters , and spoke passionately on the subject to HoloNet News . When the tension between the Republic and the Separatists eventually led to the outbreak of the Clone Wars in 22 BBY , Screed saw the conflict as an opportunity for " house - cleaning " to put an end to the decadence of the Galactic Republic . Clone Wars . During the war , Screed played an active role in the Republic ' s war effort . By late 20 BBY , he had been promoted to captain and was given command of one of the two task forces that made up the first fleet of " Victory I " - class Star Destroyers , the other being commanded by another rising commander , Captain Jan Dodonna . The Victory Fleet ' s first assignment was far from a casual shakedown cruise , as they were dispatched to stop a Confederate fleet under Dua Ningo , which had recently broken through the Republic ' s blockade of the Foerost Shipyards and launched a series of attacks throughout the Galactic Core . In a campaign that would decide which side controlled the Core Worlds , Screed and Dodonna ' s fleet clashed with Ningo ' s forces in battles at Ixtlar , Alsakan , and Basilisk , before a final confrontation above Anaxes . Dodonna took his task force into battle against Ningo , suffering heavy losses but drawing the enemy commander ' s flagship into position for Screed to launch an ambush . Screed ' s forces emerged from hyperspace and launched a broadside fusillade against Ningo ' s " Unrepentant " . The Confederate command ship was destroyed but the explosion struck the bridge of Screed ' s Star Destroyer , the " Arlionne " , leaving Screed with near - fatal injuries that required further cybernetic reconstruction . Three weeks after the final battle against Ningo , Screed and Dodonna were presented with the Holt Cross on Anaxes . Still suffering from his injuries , Screed had to be supported by his friend throughout the ceremony . The two subsequently returned to Coruscant as heroes . Shortly afterwards , Screed was promoted to vice admiral and given command of the Coruscant Home Fleet by the now Supreme Chancellor Palpatine , with complete authority over the capital world ' s defenses . The assignment also allowed him time to recover from his injuries . Imperial era . With the death of the Separatist leaders shortly after the Battle of Coruscant , the Clone Wars came to an end . In a speech shortly after the end of the war , Palpatine announced that the Republic was to be reorganized into a Galactic Empire with him as its Emperor , and blamed many of the Republic ' s troubles on the Jedi , who were declared enemies of the Empire . Screed became one of the first officers appointed to the upper echelons of the new Imperial Navy . Promoted to admiral , he became one of the Emperor ' s right - hand men , and was charged with seeking out new opportunities for the Empire in the Outer Rim Territories . In 19 BBY , Imperial forces stages a major push to bring order to the lawless worlds of the Outer Rim . Separatist forces had fled from Muunilinst and Mygeeto and joined forces with pirates and Thalassian slavers in the Ciutric sector . Based out of Axxila , Screed ' s fleet formed part of Crimson Dagger Command , which was charged with eliminating this threat . Screed worked closely with Imperial Army General Hurst Romodi during the campaign , and the pair developed a mutual respect while achieving victories in the Kanz , Tragan , Ciutric , Nijune , Sprizen and Quelii sectors . After Screed ' s forces defeated the Separatists at the Battle of Vinsoth , the Muun leadership fled to Binquaros . Screed left Romodi ' s ground forces to fight the Muun while he pursued a combined InterGalactic Banking Clan , Commerce Guild and Thalassian fleet ships to Bimmiel . Screed eliminated the Separatist fleet , but while he was engaged at Bimmiel , pirate and Mandalorian forces driven from the Salin Corridor by another Imperial task force overcame his rear guard at Botajef . Joining forces with mercenaries from Serenno , they broke Romodi ' s siege and fled to the Unknown Regions with their allies from Binquaros . Acting on intelligence from a pirate captain , Screed and Romodi intercepted the Separatists at Vardoss and finally defeated them . Screed ' s victory saw him again celebrated as a hero in the Core Worlds . During the final days of the Clone Wars , the remnants of Confederate General Grievous ' s forces had fled to the Western Reaches . In 17 BBY , Palpatine tasked Moff Wilhuff Tarkin with pacifying the region . In response to Tarkin ' s request for significant military resources , Screed and Admiral Bannidge Holt were given joint command of the naval forces , while Romodi was assigned to lead the ground forces . The Western Reaches Operation captured the imagination of the Imperial citizenry , with battles at Ord Vaug , Halm , Pendaxa and Ichtor becoming famous throughout the Empire . After Holt was killed and Romodi injured during an Iska pirate ambush at Bryndar , Screed ' s forces defeated the pirates at Fanha . The pirate lord Guun Cutlax fled to the Atravis sector , where he joined forces with the Aqualish general Kendu Ultho , but the Imperials followed and ultimately defeated Ultho ' s forces at Ogoth Tiir . Screed ' s career peaked with the Western Reaches Operation . The New Order saw the rise of Human High Culture and an increase in non - Human slavery . For a short time Screed took the Twi ' lek Boc Aseca as his manservant , until Inquisitor Jerec discovered the slave was Force - sensitive and demanded that Screed hand him over for execution . He was also known to have owned at least two more Twi ' lek slaves in his lifetime , and recommended the species as good slaves in a report on slavery for the Imperial Security Bureau years later . Screed was regularly invited to appear at fetes in the Core Worlds but rarely spoke in public . Instead , the admiral increasingly spent time on his flagship , the " Gladiator " - class Star Destroyer " Demolisher " , devising increasingly - corrupt economic schemes in the Outer Rim to increase his personal wealth . Nevertheless , by 15 BBY , Screed was still an important figure within the Empire . That year , he traveled to Boonta to represent the Empire at the Boonta Speeder Race , watching Thall Joben ' s victory from a private viewing box . Biitu mining operation . At some point , Screed discovered the husk of a giant Abominor droid known only as the Great Heep at the Braltzamir Museum of Antiquated Machinery . After a team of students from the Imperial Engineers Academy found a way to revive the Heep , Screed formed a partnership with the Abominor to establish a droid - operated mine to exploit a newly discovered source of fuel ore on the agriworld of Biitu . The Empire , however , was not the only interested party , and Mungo Baobab had traveled to the world to establish his own mining operation for the Baobab Merchant Fleet . While Baobab saw the mine as a source of income for the native Biituian population , Screed and the Great Heep planned to drive them away from their homeworld , and seize the planet for the Empire . To this end , Imperial forces , led by the Heep , went to Biitu and constructed the " moisture eater , " a tower that drained all moisture from the atmosphere , causing a drought that threatened to kill the natives . The Imperials soon had control over Biitu and established the mine under the Heep ' s supervision . Mungo Baobab was captured during the invasion , along with his droids C - 3PO and R2 - D2 . While Baobab was imprisoned , C - 3PO was set to work in the mine and R2 - D2 was sent to the Heep ' s droid harem , along with numerous other astromech droids , which the Heep planned to drain of power in order to recharge himself . Eventually , Screed arrived aboard a cargo ship to take possession of the first shipment of fuel ore . Screed was met by the Great Heep and was taken to Baobab ' s cell where he informed the prisoner that he would be taking him to the Emperor the following day — to ensure that his valuable prisoner was not harmed , Screed planned to have him put into hibernation for the journey . The following morning , Screed , along with two stormtroopers and an interrogation droid , went to Baobab ' s cell to give him the injection that would put him in hibernation for the trip . Unknown to the Imperials , Baobab had acquired a saw from the Biituian Fidge Tadrazan and had spent the night sawing through one of the cell bars . Screed ' s arrival initially stopped Baobab from making his escape , but when Tadrazan arrived outside and began throwing rocks at the Imperials , Screed ordered his stormtroopers to capture the young Biituian , and Baobab used the distraction to kick away the weakened bar and escape his cell . Screed pulled his blaster and fired after Baobab , but both the merchant and Tadrazan were able to escape down a nearby pipe into the tunnel system below the Imperial installation , sealing the entrance behind them . Despite the setback , Screed proceeded with the loading operation . Knowing that Baobab might attempt to get aboard his vessel , the admiral ordered his stormtroopers to watch for Baobab , and to only allow droids aboard the ship . C - 3PO , meanwhile , had assisted R2 - D2 in escaping from the droid harem and the two rendezvoused with their master . After disguising himself in old droid parts , Baobab and the two droids were able to sneak aboard Screed ' s ship , posing as part of the loading crew . Baobab ' s plan was to use the ship against the moisture eater , but as R2 - D2 attempted to access the ship ' s computer , the droid activated a silent alarm that alerted Screed to the intruders . Screed returned to his ship with a squad of stormtroopers to apprehend Baobab but they were delayed at the entrance ramp by an apparently disgruntled droid . Only when the droid ' s hand fell off , revealing the Human hand below , did Screed realize that the droid was Baobab in disguise , attempting to delay them while R2 - D2 took control of the ship . As Screed ' s stormtroopers moved to capture Baobab , R2 - D2 succeeded in raising the ship off the ground , leaving both Baobab and C - 3PO behind . Screed quickly responded to the new threat , ordering his troops to man the mine ' s laser turrets and shoot down the captured vessel . However , the situation deteriorated further when Tadrazan arrived in a stolen vehicle that he used to disable the turrets . The Biituian was also joined by dozens of astromech droids from the harem , which began attacking the stormtroopers . Screed was attempting to get the situation under control when the Great Heep arrived . The Abominor blamed the apparent chaos on Screed , who in turn accused the Great Heep of failing to keep control of his droids . However , their bickering was soon ended when R2 - D2 opened the ship ' s cargo doors and dropped its cargo of ore containers , forcing Screed to take cover . Seeing the danger above , the Great Heep attempted desperately to stop the ship before it could destroy the moisture eater , but R2 - D2 sent it on a collision course with the tower before abandoning ship . As the cargo ship collided with the tower , Screed could only watch helplessly as the stored moisture was released in a torrent of rain that extinguished the Heep ' s furnace and left the giant droid deactivated . With the Heep gone , Screed and the other Imperials found themselves outnumbered by the natives and were easily rounded up . The Imperials were forced to help restore the destroyed crops , leaving a humiliated Screed to vow revenge on Baobab . Search for the Roonstones . Screed eventually left Biitu and returned to his duties with the Empire . Although the incident on Biitu was disastrous enough to have nearly toppled his career , he nonetheless rebounded from the failure . While searching for new opportunities for Imperial expansion , Screed dispatched a probe droid to the distant Cloak of the Sith region to look for planets ripe for conquest . When the droid returned to the " Demolisher " , it brought a holographic message from Bisad Koong , the governor of Tawntoom province on the planet Roon . In his message , Koong explained that he was seeking an alliance with the Empire . Though Screed viewed Koong ' s proposal with disdain , the governor ' s gift of a valuable Roonstone , the source of which was of great interest to Palpatine , was enough to convince the admiral to meet with him . After arriving in the system , Screed took a " Lambda " - class shuttle to Koong ' s new Umboo Lightstation to meet with the governor . He was surprised to learn that Koong had already received what he believed to be the Imperial emissaries — Screed ' s old adversary Mungo Baobab , along with the droids C - 3PO and R2 - D2 . Baobab had arrived earlier , seeking to establish the first trade route between the Empire and the Roon system , only to be mistaken for an Imperial representative by Koong . His true identity revealed , Baobab attempted to flee , but was soon caught by Koong ' s aide Gaff while Screed ' s stormtrooper guards captured the droids . Screed was pleased to once more have Baobab in custody and had him locked in one of Koong ' s cells . The admiral had need of C - 3PO ' s services and ordered the protocol droid reprogrammed , while R2 - D2 would be turned over to Koong . With the intruders caught , Koong began to show Screed around the lightstation . The governor had had the original lighstation shut down and was using his lightstation to cause unsuspecting ships to crash in order to scavenge their cargo — a process that Screed saw as little more than piracy . Their negotiations were cut short by a sudden explosion — Baobab and the droids were attempting to escape with the assistance of fellow prisoner Noop Yeldarb and several crates of Nergon - 14 had exploded in the ensuing chaos , damaging the ship ' s engines . As the lightstation began to drift into the nearby asteroid belt , Koong ordered an evacuation . Screed led the Imperials aboard Baobab ' s ship , the " Caravel " , joined by Koong and Gaff , escaping shortly before the lightstation was destroyed . Baobab was also able to escape , stealing Koong ' s personal shuttle . Screed was not impressed by the incident and ordered his stormtroopers to lock Koong and Gaff in the ship ' s brig . Alliance with Koong . Koong ' s protests that only he could lead Screed to the source of the Roonstones initially fell on deaf ears , but the admiral ' s desire to acquire the Roonstones ultimately led him to give Koong another chance . In exchange for providing the Empire with the precious gems , Screed promised Koong an alliance and access to Imperial resources including stormtroopers and a Star Destroyer . In truth , however , the admiral had no intention of making an alliance and only sought the Roonstones to present to the Emperor . Proceeding to Roon , Koong attempted to show Screed that his world had more to offer than just the Roonstones . Screed was unconvinced but agreed to accompany the Tawntoom governor to the Roon Colonial Games after hearing that Koong ' s forces had intercepted and destroyed Baobab ' s ship . If Tawntoom ' s team could defeat the team from Umboo at the games , the governor expected the last province resisting his rule to lose morale and fall under his control . Screed watched the Roon Colonial Games from Koong ' s private box , but was shocked to see Baobab arrive with Umboo ' s champion Drainsweeper team . Seeing that the admiral ' s patience was waning , Koong ordered Gaff to ensure that Baobab and the Umboo team were eliminated before the final , and deciding , event of the games . Gaff ' s efforts met with mixed success — the Umboo Drainsweeper riders Gee Long and BIX were incapacitated before the race , but Baobab was able to survive an attempt to eliminate him . After Baobab and C - 3PO agreed to join Auren Yomm in place of the missing riders , the Umboo team was once again able to win the Drainsweeper event , and take overall victory in the games . With Koong ' s plans once more foiled by Baobab , Screed was not willing to tolerate any further delays and demanded that the governor deliver the promised Roonstones to him . However , Koong was unable to deliver on his promise , having failed to locate the source of the Roonstones . Knowing that his only hope was for Baobab to lead him to the Roonstones , Koong dispatched probe droids to locate the merchant . Koong ' s efforts eventually paid off , and Screed was watching the surveillance feed with the governor when Auren and Nilz Yomm arrived at Baobab ' s vessel . Baobab had also been unable to locate the source of the Roonstones and was preparing to leave , but when his visitors presented him with one , saying that it had come from an old prospector known as " Old Ogger , " he decided to pay the hermit a visit . Koong promptly dispatched Gaff to follow Baobab , and Screed ordered his stormtroopers to assist the Kobok , reminding the governor that any Roonstones he found were the property of the Galactic Empire . " Old Ogger " was able to give Baobab a lead and the merchant headed for the port of Nime , along with Auren Yomm and the droids . There Koong ' s forces apprehended the group and took them to the governor ' s ship for the journey across the Roon Sea to Koong Island , where Screed was waiting to take them to Tawntoom for interrogation . The admiral eventually received word from Koong that the prisoners had escaped en route , and though Koong begged another chance , Screed made it clear that his report to the Emperor would indicate his displeasure . Showdown with Baobab . Other than the Roonstones , the only thing on Roon that was of interest to Screed was the wealthy Umboo province that still resisted Koong ' s control . The increasingly desperate Koong planned a show of force to impress Screed and the two departed for Umboo aboard one of Koong ' s ships . Koong ' s plan was to poison Umboo ' s population by releasing the deadly rooze germ over the province . Screed , however , saw the plan as foolhardy — the Empire ' s previous use of rooze had caused as many deaths among its own forces as the enemy . The admiral ' s concerns were proved well - founded when a leak in the rooze containers allowed the deadly germ to enter circulation on Koong ' s ship . While Screed ' s stormtroopers were protected by their armor , the admiral used a breath mask to keep from breathing the germ . Koong , however , was not so fortunate and was infected by the germ as he attempted to shut down the ventilation system . Koong ' s only hope of survival was to enlist the help of the Nilz Yomm in finding a cure , and Screed allowed his stormtroopers to accompany Gaff in capturing the doctor . They returned with both Nilz and Auren , but Screed ' s patience was exhausted and he informed the ailing governor that he would be withdrawing his forces from Roon that afternoon . Meanwhile , Mungo Baobab traced his captured friends to Koong ' s Fortress of Tawntoom , built atop a volcano in an otherwise frozen wasteland , and mounted a rescue effort . During the rescue , Baobab discovered that the volcano itself was the source of the Roonstones he and Screed had sought . The admiral was leading his troops aboard their shuttle as the stricken Koong made one final attempt to persuade him to stay , when Gaff arrived in pursuit of Baobab and the escaping Yomms . Screed ' s stormtroopers moved to attack Baobab but were stopped by Koong when the governor saw that Baobab carried the cure for his illness . While the Yomms attempted to start the engines on Baobab ' s captured " Caravel " , the merchant proposed a deal to the Imperials — he would provide both the cure and the source of the Roonstones in exchange for safe passage and peace with Umboo . Upon discovering that the Roonstones were in the surrounding volcano , Screed turned on Koong , declaring the fortress Imperial property and ordering his troops to impound it . Seeing Screed ' s betrayal , Koong used the drilling laser to blast the surrounding Roonstones free from the rock , sending them plummeting into the lava below in an effort to keep them out of the admiral ' s hands . However , the Roonstones caused the lava to freeze , depriving the fortress of its only source of heat and leaving it vulnerable to the harsh climate . With the situation having once more turned against him , Screed ordered his troops to their shuttle and evacuated the fortress before it froze . Baobab ' s ship was also able to escape , but Koong succumbed to his disease shortly before the fortress froze around him . Later career . In the years following the debacle on Roon , Screed ' s position in the Imperial hierarchy faltered , with him falling behind the various moffs and Grand Admirals in the Emperor ' s favor , though he continued to serve as an admiral in the Imperial Navy . By 0 ABY , just months after the Rebel Alliance destroyed the Death Star at the Battle of Yavin , Screed was working with the Imperial Security Bureau on Imperial Center . In 4 ABY , the Emperor set a trap for the Rebel Alliance , using his presence aboard the second Death Star while it underwent construction over the forest moon of Endor as bait . Screed was among the Imperial commanders who participated in the Battle of Endor . However , the battle went against the Empire ; the Death Star was destroyed and Emperor Palpatine was killed . After the Emperor ' s death , Screed became one of many warlords who used the subsequent power vacuum to attempt to carve a personal empire out of former Imperial Space . He formed an alliance with Warlord Zsinj , but when Zsinj learned that Screed had been in contact with his old friend , Imperial Navy Captain Gilad Pellaeon , he had Screed executed for treason . Years later , during the Yuuzhan Vong Invasion , now Grand Admiral Pellaeon asked if Screed was still serving in the Empire . Pellaeon ' s aide , Arien Yage , reminded him that Screed had been executed by Zsinj , and Pellaeon reminisced that he had always been fond of the " old Hawk - bat . " Personality and traits . Terrinald Screed was an easily recognizable figure due to his above average height , angular features and the electronic eye patch he wore in place of his left eye . Disciplined and composed , Screed was an accomplished military commander with a talent for space combat . Screed saw success in campaigns for both the Galactic Republic and Galactic Empire and was decorated for his actions on multiple occasions . His bravery came at a high personal cost , with the loss of his eye during his early career and near - fatal injuries sustained at the Battle of Anaxes during the Clone Wars . Screed cared little for how he appeared to others , and preferred an advanced cybernetic replacement for his eye over a less noticeable prosthetic . During his time as a Judicial , Screed respected the Jedi and their long - standing duty to protect the Republic . However , he felt that times had changed , the Jedi were no longer sufficient , and that a stronger force was needed . Motivated in part by his desire to see his child grow up in a strong Republic , Screed became a strong Militarist and campaigned publicly for the Military Creation Act . Screed was also a loyal officer of the Judicial Department — when Captain Zozridor Slayke and the crew of the CR90 corvette " Scarlet Thranta " defected from the Republic to begin a private war against the Separatists shortly before the Clone Wars , Screed spoke out against their vigilante actions , even though he understood their motivations . Screed went on to keep the public informed of his department ' s efforts to reign in the vigilantes , though there were suggestions that they privately supported the renegades ' actions , and may have even helped orchestrate them . Eventually he came to see the Republic as ineffective and hypocritical , and by the rise of the Empire , Screed was a firm believer in the New Order and its tenets , regarding non - Humans as inferior and devoting much of his time to devising schemes to increase his own wealth . By this time he was a no - nonsense military man and had little tolerance for either those who opposed the Empire or those who failed him . Governor Koong in particular was frequently on the receiving end of the admiral ' s disappointment . Screed could also be overconfident ; during the Imperial occupation of Biitu , Screed dismissed the threat posed by the natives , only to suffer a humiliating defeat when they revolted against him . During his later career , the once eloquent and outspoken admiral became almost reclusive , rarely speaking in public and known for his short temper and occasionally eccentric behavior . Behind the scenes . Admiral Screed was created as the primary Imperial antagonist of the 1985 Nelvana cartoon series " " and first appeared briefly in " A Race to the Finish , " the fourth and final episode of the first story arc . The character returned to play a larger role in the last four episodes of the series , along with the two - part special " The Great Heep . " In all these appearances , Screed was voiced by Graeme Campbell . Screed ' s first name was not revealed until the character appeared in a series of articles on HoloNet News prior to the release of in 2005 . The articles touched on the character ' s life prior to the events of " Droids " , as did " The New Essential Chronology " ( 2005 ) . " The Essential Guide to Warfare " ( 2012 ) further expanded the character ' s history with a detailed biography . Author Jason Fry attempted to make Screed a more sympathetic , less one - dimensional character than in " Droids " . " The New Essential Chronology " established that Screed was a captain at the time of the Battle of Anaxes . " " in " Star Wars Insider 75 " , set shortly afterwards , refers to him as an admiral , yet " The Dark Forces Saga " calls him a vice admiral at the time he owned Boc after the Clone Wars . Therefore , it is assumed that his promotion during the Clone Wars was only to vice admiral , with his full promotion to admiral coming at some point prior to the " Star Wars : Droids " cartoons . The origin of Screed ' s electronic eye patch was unclear until the release of " The Essential Guide to Warfare " . " The New Essential Chronology " established that Screed underwent cybernetic surgery following the Battle of Anaxes , but Joe Corroney ' s illustration of Screed for " HoloNet News Vol . 531 47 " depicted him with an eye patch before the outbreak of the Clone Wars . " The Essential Guide to Warfare " , which also expands Screed ' s early Imperial career , confirms that the eye patch was as the result of an injury sustained prior to the Clone Wars . The nature of Screed ' s subsequent cybernetic reconstruction during the Clone Wars is unknown . Screed ' s right eye , which is not covered by the eye patch , appears brown in Corroney ' s illustration , yet has a bluish appearance in the character ' s depiction in the video game " " . Authors Abel G . Peña and Rich Handley mentioned Screed in " The Droids Re - Animated " , an article that was released on the StarWars . com blog in 2013 . The article had been written years prior , and it had originally established Screed as losing his eye during the " subjugation of Ord Gertoth . " Peña and Handley removed the detail , however , following the publication of " The Essential Guide to Warfare " . Tim Veekhoven , in developing the StarWars . com Databank entry for Tzizvvt as part of " What ' s The Story ? " , established the character as a suspect in the theft of valuable relics from Biitu and Roon . Veekhoven initially used Screed as the owner of the stolen objects , but this did not make the final entry . A Screed action figure was intended to be released as part of the second wave of Kenner ' s " " range . However , the line was canceled before the second wave entered production and only around a dozen prototypes of the Screed figure were ever made . Admiral Screed was one of the random names used by Imperial players in the 2001 video game " " . In April 2014 , Lucasfilm announced that existing Expanded Universe material was no longer considered part of " Star Wars " canon and that all future material would form part of a new continuity . A new canon version of Screed was introduced later that year in James Luceno ' s novel " Tarkin " .
