Organa managed to defeat the club owner and his thugs and returned to Junn , demanding a starship as recompense for his betrayal . Biography . An old friend . Lord Junn was a friend of the planet Alderaan ' s House of Organa , including Viceroy Bail Organa and his adoptive daughter , Leia Organa . He knew Leia during her childhood and watched her grow up to join her father as a senator of her homeworld in the Imperial Senate . By the year 0 ABY , Junn lived on the planet Naboo , where he sometimes did business with Mul Sanaka , the owner of Club Deeja in the city of Keren , who was in debt to the lord . Following the destruction of Alderaan by the Galactic Empire ' s Death Star superweapon , Leia Organa undertook a mission to save all remaining Alderaanian s in the galaxy , as she feared that the Empire would hunt them down in the aftermath . Her first port of call was Naboo , where she hoped to locate and rescue the Melodic Order , a cloister of Alderaanian musician s working in Club Deeja . Upon arriving in the planet ' s capital city of Theed , she transmitted a signal identifying herself as an Imperial . Junn recognized the signal as a plant and realized it was Organa arriving . Luxury over loyalty . Aware that Organa was a member of the Rebel Alliance and fearing his kind would not fare well if the Rebellion overthrew the Empire , Junn made his way to Theed ' s spaceport and found the princess , pretending to have encountered her by chance . After expressing joy that Organa had survived the destruction of Alderaan , Junn brought her party , including pilot Evaan Verlaine and the astromech droid R2 - D2 , back to his palace . After Organa explained that she was searching for the Melodic Order , Junn saw an opportunity to be rid of her and to potentially profit from locating the Order for the Empire . Promising to make arrangements for the princess , Junn contacted Sanaka and warned him that Organa would be visiting Club Deeja , giving him orders to kill the princess and her companions . He then wished Organa luck and sent her off to Keren . Despite Junn ' s orders to Sanaka , Organa and her companions were able to defeat the club owner and his thugs and rescue the Order , after which Organa returned to Junn ' s palace . The lord was drinking and sitting alone in the dark when he sensed her presence , switching on the light and revealing the princess aiming her blaster pistol at him . Expecting to die , Junn apologized for betraying his old friend and explained his motives ; however , Organa decided to let the traitor live and instead demanded a starship . Junn provided her with his shuttle , the " Lord Junn " , which the princess then used to transport the Order offworld and find more Alderaanians . Personality and traits . Junn was a human male with black hair , blue eye s , and tan skin . He wore ornate clothing and valued living in comfort , to the point that he would betray his beloved friend Leia Organa to preserve it . He did not care for the Imperial regime , but he feared what would happen to his kind if the Rebel Alliance prevailed in its war against the Empire . Not wanting his palatial home to become a target for the Alliance , Junn chose not to kill Organa there and instead sent her to Club Deeja , where he also hoped to profit by turning the Melodic Order over to the Empire . When Organa returned after his betrayal , Junn assumed she would kill him but seemed unfazed by his apparent fate . Equipment .
