Fendrilon Koozar was an Imperial Advisor who served Emperor Palpatine during the Galactic Civil War . Koozar developed an alarming habit of meddling in business where he was not welcome , including the operations of the Black Sun crime syndicate . He regularly enjoyed the high cuisine of the Manarai restaurant , the most exclusive dining venue in Imperial City on the planet Coruscant , where Black Sun leader Prince Xizor secretly arranged Koozar ' s murder in 3 . 5 ABY . Xizor ' s chief lieutenant , Guri , visited the Manarai and instructed the restaurant ' s Master Chef , Tavvar Va ' ran , to give Koozar the " house special , " a code for adding a combination of natural food seasonings and nearly untraceable chemicals into a victim ' s dishes throughout the meal . This poisoned recipe would work in conjunction with the natural oils and spices found within the meal , as well as Koozar ' s own Human digestive system , to cause certain unpleasant effects several hours later , which often resulted in a painful death . A very special meal . Koozar ' s meal that night included an appetizer of raw Wroonian flycatcher filet , followed by a bowl of sufar greens topped with mecolar briddlings and drezzle sauce , and fleek - eel broiled in zaffa oil for the main course ; he had not yet ordered dessert . To satisfy Guri ' s desire for discreetness — she suggested something that might induce hallucinations and cause Koozar to step out of his moving speeder or jump off his tower balcony — Va ' ran added a dose of tasteless thetametabuterin to Koozar ' s flycatcher filet , a hybrid mold on the greens briddlings , and some collafa spice in the zaffa oil . The Master Chef ' s culinary work had the desired effect . The evening after Koozar ' s dinner at the Manarai , Va ' ran saw on the newsnets that the Imperial Advisor had thrown an uncontrollable fit while in his luxury airspeeder , wresting away the controls from his droid pilot and crashing the speeder into the Ministry of Land Management . Koozar died in the fiery explosion that followed . Personality and traits . Fendrilon Koozar was a connoisseur of fine foods who often dined at the Manarai , Coruscant ' s most exclusive restaurant and the central gathering place for the Imperial Center elite . As one of the Emperor ' s Advisors , Koozar had a habit of poking his nose in others ' affairs , which eventually led to his murder , as orchestrated by Prince Xizor of Black Sun . Guri , fully trained in proper social etiquette and culture , displayed a distaste for the high tastes to which Koozar often treated himself . Behind the scenes . Fendrilon Koozar was created for the short narrative " A Very Special Meal " , written by Peter Schweighofer for the June 1996 " Shadows of the Empire Sourcebook " . " The Complete Star Wars Encyclopedia " , released in 2008 , later provided a character entry for Koozar . " Shadows of the Empire Sourcebook " explains that several influential beings , including an Imperial Advisor , were rumored to have a stake in the Manarai ' s ownership , but the text does not identify this individual .
