Papanoida Papanoida , a Pantoran male , was the chairman of the moon Pantora during the final decades of the Galactic Republic . Papanoida was a powerful figure according to his daughter Senator Chi Eekway . Toward the end of the Clone Wars , Papanoida and his daughter were present in a Coruscant opera house when Anakin Skywalker met with Supreme Chancellor Sheev Palpatine . Biography . Papanoida was a Pantoran male who hailed from the moon Pantora . The Pantoran fathered several children , including Ion , Che Amanwe , and Chi Eekway . After the death of Chairman Chi Cho during a conflict on the ice planet Orto Plutonia during the time of the Clone Wars , Papanoida was sworn in as Pantora ' s new chairman . When the Trade Federation blockaded Pantora , public unrest threatened to force the moon to secede from the Galactic Republic and join the Confederacy , who were offering aid . Papanoida relied on Senator Riyo Chuchi to plead for assistance in the Senate in ending the blockade . However , the Federation had his two daughters kidnapped as leverage . Papanoida could guess that his daughters might be on the Droid Control Ship blockading Pantora and dispatched Chuchi and Jedi Padawan Ahsoka Tano to go there under the pretense of a diplomatic mission , while he and his son investigate on their own . Whereas the Coruscant Security Force failed to find any clues in his quarters , Papanoida discovered that one of his idols was misplaced and smeared with blood . Analyzing the blood , he found that it belonged to a Rodian bounty hunter named Greedo . The Pantorans traveled to the palace of Jabba Desilijic Tiure on Tatooine , whom Greedo was employed by . Papanoida was able to draw the Rodian out by simply telling a female Twi ' lek that they were looking for him . As expected , Greedo came to the Pantorans and attempted to get rid of them , only for Papanoida to pull out a knife and hold it against Greedo ' s throat . Matters were brought before Jabba , whom Papanoida managed to reason with into assisting them , by comparing Greedo ' s blood to the sample he found on Coruscant . No sooner that Jabba permitted it did Greedo spill that he had Chi Eekway held in Mos Eisley . The Pantorans forced Greedo to lead them to the cantina where Eekway was being held . But things got tense , as Greedo ' s Gotal partner began to question him . The Rodian turned on the Pantorans and fled the cantina , as all the patrons started firing on them . The Pantorans were able to dispatch all the assailants ; Eekway even saved her father ' s life by shooting the Gotal when he attempted to kill Papanoida when his back was turned . The Pantorans returned to Coruscant as Chuchi and Tano rescued Che Amanwe from the Droid Control Ship . Because the Federation lacked leverage , they were forced to end the blockade of Pantora . By the end of the Clone Wars , Papanoida and his daughter Chi Eekway were present in the Coruscant opera house following the Battle of Coruscant . The two stood outside Supreme Chancellor Sheev Palpatine ' s seating box when Anakin Skywalker came to visit Palpatine . Behind the scenes . Baron Papanoida was played by " Star Wars " creator George Lucas in " " . He made a later appearance in the " " episode " Sphere of Influence " , in which he was voiced by Corey Burton .
