Lo - Taren Lo - Taren was a Trandoshan male and a member of a Trandoshan - exclusive hunting guild specializing in the hunting of other sentient beings . During the year 20 BBY , Lo - Taren , along with guild leader Garnac and three other comrades , was searching for potential hunting prey on the planet Felucia when he came across Jedi Padawan Ahsoka Tano . Lo - Taren captured the Togruta and brought her back to Garnac ' s Trandoshan prisoner ship . Tano was taken to the moon of Wasskah , where she was dropped off on an island along with several other prisoner s . Under orders from Garnac , Lo - Taren opened fire with the freighter as soon as the prisoners were free , killing two of them . The next day , Lo - Taren continued the hunt on foot but was nearly killed by the Jedi youngling Kalifa when she used the Force to strangle him out of anger while he was distracted . However , Tano persuaded Kalifa to allow the hunter to live . Lo - Taren and the other guild members later investigated the guild ' s freighter after the Jedi caused it to crash , before returning to the guild ' s floating headquarters . When Tano later attacked the floating fortress alongside two other youngling s and the Wookiee captive Chewbacca , Lo - Taren and the other Trandoshans attempted to defend the fortress . The hunters were nearly successful , but a rescue mission led by the Wookiee general Tarfful turned the tide . Lo - Taren was killed by a Wookiee soldier during the ensuing firefight which ultimately saw the demise of Garnac and the hunting guild itself . Biography . To catch a Jedi . Lo - Taren was a Trandoshan male who , during the year 20 BBY , was a member of a Trandoshan - exclusive hunting guild led by the game hunter Garnac . The guild , which operated on the Mid Rim moon of Wasskah , hunted other sentient beings that would be captured by the guild from across the galaxy . During 20 BBY , Lo - Taren was present on one such kidnapping expedition . Detaining prey on a Trandoshan prisoner ship pilot ed by Trandoshans Krix and Lagon , Lo - Taren ' s hunt eventually brought him to the planet Felucia . By this point , the freighter already held the Snivvian Katt Mol , the Terrelian Jango Jumper Lika , the Sakiyan Vadoo , and the Selkath Morgo . At the time of Lo - Taren ' s arrival , Felucia was hosting a battle between the Galactic Republic and the Confederacy of Independent Systems as a part of the ongoing Clone Wars . While out in the Felucian jungle , Lo - Taren trailed a squad of Republic clone trooper s led by Jedi Padawan Ahsoka Tano . Although Tano was aware of Lo - Taren ' s general presence due to her connection with the Force , she was unable to focus in on her tail . Lo - Taren followed the Republic unit to a Separatist fortress , where the clones began ascending an outer wall . Tano , however , decided to cover them from the ground , as she still sensed Lo - Taren . Distracted by her hunch , the Trandoshan hunter ambushed Tano with an electrified net gun and rendered the Padawan unconscious with a well - aimed stun net . Lo - Taren hauled Tano back to the Trandoshan starship and locked her in a cage before destroying her comlink as she regained consciousness . Lo - Taren returned to the ship ' s bridge to inform Garnac , his son Dar , and the ship ' s crew that new Jedi prey had been acquired . In turn , Garnac hope that Lo - Taren ' s capture would become Dar ' s first Jedi kill ; Lo - Taren agreed with the sentiment . The hunt on Wasskah . Padawan hunt . Upon returning to Wasskah , Garnac ordered for the ship ' s complement of prisoner s to be released on the beach of Island Four . When the captives stalled on the beach after their release , Lo - Taren manned a forward facing laser turret and opened fire , killing Vadoo and Morgo . The survivors quickly escaped into the island ' s jungle . The following dawn , Garnac officially endorsed the beginning of the next hunt . Lo - Taren and the other Trandoshans jumped aboard MSP80 Pteropter hover pod s and went to the moon ' s surface . Despite riding down with hunters Ratter and Sochek , Lo - Taren separated from them to hunt by himself on foot . Lo - Taren encountered Ahsoka Tano out in the open who , ironically , was hunting for him . Lo - Taren attempted to shoot Tano , but she disarmed him with the use of the Force . They engaged in hand - to - hand combat in which Lo - Taren successfully wore Tano down . The Trandoshan grabbed his dropped rifle , but before he could kill Tano , he was lifted into the air by Kalifa — a previously captured Jedi youngling — and telekinetically strangled . However , Tano spared Lo - Taren ' s life in order to stop Kalifa from simply killing out of hatred . Lo - Taren called for backup , which prompted Kalifa ' s other Jedi youngling companions , O - Mer and Jinx , to attack him and use the Force to throw Lo - Taren into a tree and knock him out . Before running off , Tano grabbed the Trandoshan ' s blaster rifle . However , the rifle was remotely deactivated so that the Jedi could not make use of it . That night , Lo - Taren was present on Garnac ' s Ubrikkian floating fortress headquarters for Dar ' s initiation ceremony , and partook in chanting Dar ' s name . However , Lo - Taren ' s inability to kill the Jedi inadvertently led to Dar ' s death during a scuffle with Tano the next day . Garnac killed Kalifa shortly after and swore revenge on the remaining Jedi . Counterattack . The following day , Lo - Taren , Garnac , and the other guild members learned that their prisoner ship had been downed on Island Four ' s beachhead . As it happened , Tano and the other surviving younglings had managed to crash the ship after a failed attempt to hijack it . After investigating the wreck , Lo - Taren reported to Garnac that the pilots Clutch and Goron were dead and that their only prisoner , the Wookiee Chewbacca , had escaped . Lo - Taren expressed his belief that with the ship grounded , the Jedi had become bolder . Garnac likewise concluded that the Jedi had become organized . The Trandoshan Smug later returned to the crash site to hunt the Jedi , but was captured by the Jedi instead . The next day , Smug , under the influence of a mind trick , contacted Lo - Taren and requested a pickup . Krix was sent in response . Shortly after , the Jedi and Chewbacca launched a surprise attack on the floating fortress using the hover pod they had stolen from Krix when he tried to rendezvous with Smug . After the attackers threw Lagon to his death , Lo - Taren and the other Trandoshans swarmed to the scene at the beckoning of the hunter Ramy . Lo - Taren , alongside fellow hunter Sochek , attempted to take the upper hand by flanking the Jedi . However , O - Mer used the stolen hover pod ' s blaster cannon to force the two Trandoshans behind cover . O - Mer was quickly shot down by Garnac , and the crash halted the Jedi offensive . Garnac congratulated Tano ' s force on their effort , but before they could be eliminated , the fortress was besieged by the starship " Halo " , piloted by bounty hunter s Sugi and Seripas . Wookiees versus Trandoshans . The bounty hunters brought Wookiee reinforcements led by General Tarfful , who had earlier received a signal from a makeshift transmitter that Chewbacca built out of the Trandoshan freighter ' s wreckage . Lo - Taren and Sochek fired on the Wookiees with their weapons , but were forced to take cover behind an overturned hover pod . Lo - Taren accidentally strayed too far from cover whilst trying to fight off the Wookiees and paid for it when a Wookiee soldier hit him in the face with a well - placed shot from his Kashyyyk long - gun , killing him instantly . Lo - Taren ' s demise distracted Sochek long enough for O - Mer to use the Force to move the overturned hover pod away from the last hunter . Sochek quickly realized his vulnerability , but was shot before he could do anything . The conflict concluded after all of the Trandoshans were eliminated , including Garnac , who fell victim to Tano ' s use of the Force . The hunt had come to an end . Personality and traits . A Trandoshan with orange - colored scales and yellow eye s , Lo - Taren was eager for the hunt on Wasskah . Upon capturing Ahsoka Tano , he expressed excitement at the capture of a Jedi youngling and during Dar ' s initiation , Lo - Taren , along with the other Trandoshans , cheered for Dar as he prepared for the hunt . Having faith in in the abilities of the lodge ' s rookie , the experienced Lo - Taren believed that the young Trandoshan would outperform his prey . However , the hunter cared little for the captives he and the others detained and showed no qualms about gunning the prisoners down on Island Four ' s beachhead , where they were afforded little cover . Proficient in hunting and combat , Lo - Taren able to ambush a Jedi even while they could sense his presence . The game hunter was also able to go up against Ahsoka Tano , a skilled Jedi Padawan , and best her in hand - to - hand combat . Despite being able to capture Tano with a net launcher and gun down two captives with a ship turret , Lo - Taren proved to be inaccurate with hand - held blaster s , as he failed to score a hit on Tano when he hunted her in the jungle , and similarly failed to kill any of the Wookiee soldiers that attacked the floating fortress . Equipment . While hunting Tano on Felucia , Lo - Taren carried an electrified net gun that could render targets unconscious with disintegrating stun nets . While hunting for prey on Wasskah , Lo - Taren briefly carried a sniper rifle before he switched to a blaster rifle that could be remotely deactivated if it fell into the hands of prey . After losing the weapon , Lo - Taren switched to carrying two blaster pistol s . He dual - wielded the pistols during the fortress battle against the Wookiees , but he proved to be less than accurate with the weapons , and failed to repel any of the attackers . Lo - Taren proved to be adept with the chin - mounted laser cannon on Garnac ' s Reugeot freighter when , on Garnac ' s orders , he used the cannon shortly after releasing Tano ' s group of prisoners on Island Four . Lo - Taren instantly killed Morgo with the weapon , who had not yet tried to escape , and was able to gun down Vadoo while the Sakiyan tried to make a run for it . However , the other three prisoners managed to evade his follow up attacks . Lo - Taren wore darkly - colored clothing during the length of the Ahsoka Tano hunt , including a gray vest with green highlights and gray shorts . Underneath the vest he wore a black t - shirt . Lo - Taren also wore knee pads and had an electronic gauntlet with a built in comlink . Behind the scenes .
