Onaconda Farr / Legends Onaconda Farr was a male Rodian from the planet Rodia and served as the Senator of his homeworld in the Galactic Senate during the later years of the Galactic Republic . During the Separatist Crisis the senate began to debate the Military Creation Act , which would create an army for the Republic for the first time in a millennium . During the debate , Senator Farr became a strong Militarist and supporter of the Act . He was known as a watchdog against Separatist influences in the senate and was highly critical of Supreme Chancellor Palpatine ' s Loyalist Committee , going so far as to claim it was a shadow government . After exposing Senator Havriso Looruya ' s Separatist ties , Farr was granted a position on the Loyalist Committee , an appointment that confused many members of the Senate . Despite the appointment , he continued to be critical of the Chancellor ' s handling of the Separatist Crisis , claiming that Palpatine was following his own agenda to the detriment of the Republic . In 22 BBY , the Separatist Crisis exploded into the Clone Wars , a galaxy - wide conflict between the Republic and the Confederacy of Independent Systems . Emergency Powers granted to Palpatine resulted in the creation of the Grand Army of the Republic without the Military Creation Act ever coming to a vote . Farr was installed as the head of the Senate Action Subcommittee for Corellian Trade Spine Defense , a position he used for personal advancement . Around the beginning of the war , supplies " en route " to Farr ' s homeworld of Rodia became the repeated targets of pirates . After Rodia ' s pleas for assistance were consistently ignored by the Republic , Farr abandoned the Senate and joined the Confederacy of Independent Systems . In exchange for much - needed supplies , Separatist Council member Nute Gunray demanded that Farr aid him in capturing the Rodian ' s long - time friend , Senator Padmé Amidala of Naboo . Amidala came to Rodia in order to aid in the supply crisis , but was instead imprisoned by Farr and Gunray ' s battle droid forces . After learning Gunray ' s plan to execute Amidala , Farr realized the error in his decision to join the Confederacy and turned on the Separatist leader . Farr then assisted Amidala and Representative Jar Jar Binks in arresting Gunray and turning him over to Republic forces . Following the incident with Gunray , Farr rejoined the Senate . Shortly after , he and several other senators were taken hostage in the Republic Executive Building by a group of bounty hunters led by Cad Bane . Bane used his hostages as leverage when negotiating the release of the Hutt crime lord Ziro Desilijic Tiure , a Confederate ally who had been captured by the Republic earlier in the war . Bane accomplished his mission and escaped the Republic Executive Building before detonating a series of explosives intended to kill the hostage senators . Farr and the rest of the senators survived the assassination attempt through the efforts of Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker . In the wake of the attack , Farr returned to Rodia to find that the wildlife around a swamp on the planet was being killed . With the aid of Jedi Master Kit Fisto , he learned that the cause was a Confederate station under the command of Robonino , one of the bounty hunters who had aided Cad Bane on Coruscant . Later in the war , Farr vehemently opposed a proposal to increase clone trooper spending and increase the war effort . However , he was murdered through a poison put in his drink by his aide Lolo Purs , who wanted to punish him for bringing war to Rodia . Biography . Loyalist senator . Onaconda Farr was a Rodian male from the planet of Rodia , and by 52 BBY , he represented Rodia in the Galactic Senate of the Republic . He held residences in both the Senatorial Palace on Rodia and the Rodian Consulate on Coruscant , the galactic capital and headquarters of the Senate . Senator Farr was a close family friend of Padmé Amidala , who affectionately referred to him as " Uncle Ono " from the time when Farr was the biggest ally of Amidala ' s father , Ruwee Naberrie , in the Senate . He also had a brother and a sister . In 33 BBY , when the Yinchorri began a campaign to attack and conquer settlements near the planet of Yinchorr , Farr was a large supporter of Supreme Chancellor Finis Valorum and his actions . Valorum sent a team of Jedi to Yinchorr to negotiate peace , but were only met with continued hostility , and a military garrison was later placed on the planet . In 32 BBY , Farr , along with Senators Tikkes of Dac and Mot - Not Rab of Tarnab , attended an unofficial audience organized by Senator Orn Free Taa of Ryloth . At that point , Supreme Chancellor Finis Valorum had just finished a crisis and was suddenly accused of corruption . Taa admitted to have delayed the accusation because the situation at that point would allow the Senate to oust and replace Valorum , which was Taa ' s goal . Neither Farr or Rab openly supported Taa ' s scheme at that point . In 24 BBY , a variety of planets and corporations began to withdraw from the Senate in protest of the growing power of the government , beginning the Separatist Crisis . Farr was very critical of then – Supreme Chancellor Palpatine ' s handling of the crisis , often accusing him of following his own agenda to the detriment of the Republic . Because of the crisis , the Senate began to discuss the Military Creation Act , which would create an army for the Republic . During the discussion , Farr remained a Militarist , a proponent of the Act . The Rodian senator objected to Palpatine ' s attempts to negotiate directly with the leader of the Separatist Movement , Count Dooku , believing that the talks would accomplish nothing and blunt the Military Creation Act . Farr also expressed criticism when Palpatine created the Loyalist Committee , a ten - senator advisory body to the Supreme Chancellor that would also negotiate with the Separatists , saying that the body was made up of Palpatine ' s political allies and was another attempt to weaken the Military Creation Act . Later , when Palpatine and the Loyalist Committee formed the covert investigative agency known as the Senate Bureau of Intelligence , Farr once again criticized Palpatine , saying that the Chancellor was using the Committee and the bureau to increase his power . In 22 BBY , to help promote his Militarist ideals , Senator Farr wrote and bankrolled the politically - charged play " The Trickery of Vosdia Nooma " , produced by the Rodian government ' s Drama Council . Filled with allegory and symbolism , the play endorsed Farr ' s pro - military positions and a pro - Military Creation Act stance in particular . Farr himself had a cameo in the play , though drama editor Korvit Domesa of HoloNet News , who reviewed the play , believed this was a mistake that could hurt his platform . Domesa , however , still thought that the production would inspire discussion on both sides of the debate . Later that year , in a Senate session prior to the vote for the Act , Farr released a " list of 245 " individuals within the Judicial and Legislative branches of the Galactic Republic he accused of Separatist ties , including Loyalist Committee member Havriso Looruya . Farr had received the information from a source he kept private from the judicial investigators , and the source was never identified by the officials . Though the Senate protested these accusations , the Judicial Department confirmed that the charge against Looruya was indeed legitimate , leading to Looruya ' s resignation from Senatorial office . Farr was elected to the Loyalist Committee in light of his recent success but was unable to celebrate , suffering a devastating personal loss when a house fire on Rodia killed both his brother and sister shortly before Farr was announced to the Loyalist Committee . Soon after , Jedi Knight Obi - Wan Kenobi discovered a clone army — commissioned by the long - dead Jedi Master Sifo - Dyas — being built for the Republic on the world of Kamino . Kenobi also found evidence that the Separatists were building their own army on the planet of Geonosis . With the Senate still deadlocked over the Military Creation Act , emergency powers were given to Chancellor Palpatine , allowing him to activate the clone army to defend the Republic . Despite Farr ' s mistrust of Palpatine , he and the rest of the Loyalist Committee supported the emergency powers . The clone army launched an attack on the Separatist ' s Droid Army at Geonosis , starting the Clone Wars . The Clone Wars . Abandoned by the Republic . After the Clone Wars had begun , Farr was made chairman of the Senate Action Subcommittee for Corellian Trade Spine Defense . However , Rodia was left undefended , and its supply lanes were soon attacked by pirates , leaving the population deprived of food and other necessary materials . In response , Senator Farr returned to Rodia along with the Senate ' s Rodian delegation . At first , Ryloth Senator Orn Free Taa criticized Farr , saying that the delegations move back to Rodia was just a " political move . " It was later confirmed , though , that Rodia was actually experiencing pirate attacks . However , a Senatorial vote for a relief effort for Rodia was postponed , and Farr tried to contact his longtime family friend , Padmé Amidala , but was unable to speak with her , as she was preoccupied with other business . As Rodia ' s people continued to starve , Farr turned to the Separatists , reluctantly making a deal with Trade Federation Viceroy Nute Gunray . Gunray , who harbored a strong grudge against Amidala since his defeat at the Battle of Naboo , promised that Rodia would become a member of the Confederacy of Independent Systems and would be given relief supplies in exchange for the capture of Senator Amidala . Farr was willing to give up Amidala to the Separatist , thinking that he could protect her after her capture . As soon as Amidala learned of the pirate attacks on Rodia , she traveled to Rodia to ensure the planet ' s loyalty to the Republic . She was accompanied by her protocol droid C - 3PO and Associate Planetary Representative Jar Jar Binks . Nute Gunray ' s machinations . Once Amidala landed at the Rodian Senatorial Palace , she went to speak with Farr , while C - 3PO and Binks remained with Amidala ' s H - type Nubian yacht in the hangar . Silood , one of Farr ' s aides , took Amidala to Farr . When Senator Farr confronted Amidala , he revealed his alliance with Gunray , remorsefully saying that he had already done what was necessary the survival of his people . A squad of battle droids appeared and surrounded Amidala as Farr opened a hololink with Gunray , allowing Amidala and the viceroy to talk . Amidala attempted to contact C - 3PO and Binks via comlink , but a B1 battle droid seized the device and destroyed it . As Amidala was escorted away , she warned Farr that he could not trust Gunray and that he had made a mistake by aligning with the Separatists . The Naboo senator was imprisoned and shackled inside a cell at the top of a detention tower until Gunray arrived . When Gunray arrived at Rodia , Farr and Silood led the viceroy and several of his battle droid guards to the detention tower where Amidala was being held . However , one of Gunray ' s battle droids spotted a humanoid dressed in Jedi robes along with a protocol droid following the group . The droid , assuming the humanoid was a Jedi , alerted Farr and Gunray about the pair . The viceroy ordered his droids to destroy the supposed " Jedi " as Farr and Silood stood back and watched . As the battle droids attacked , the " Jedi " escaped through a grate that led to the swamp underneath the compound , losing his robes in the process . The protocol droid , which turned out to be C - 3PO , was captured , and Gunray ordered several of his droids to search for the Jedi as he continued on to the detention tower with Farr and Silood . As Farr and Gunray were walking on the bridge that led to the detention tower , Gunray revealed to Farr that he planned on executing Amidala , and that he would only give the much needed supplies over to Rodia once the Naboo Senator was dead . When Farr objected to this , Gunray told him that Rodia was now under his protection and that Farr follows his orders . Realizing that he had made a mistake in aligning with the Separatists , Farr whispered to Silood to keep his eye out for the " Jedi " , believing that he was Rodia ' s last hope . When the group arrived at the detention tower , a pair of B1 battle droids told them that Amidala had escaped from her cell . The " Jedi " , having found his robes , appeared on a platform on the side of the detention tower , and Gunray once again ordered his droids to kill the " Jedi " . As Farr looked on , the " Jedi " evaded the droids ' laser shots , and made it to the bottom of the detention tower . Amidala emerged and started to engage the battle droids with a blaster rifle she had stolen , while the " Jedi " once again dropped his robes and retreated through a grate into the swamp . A B2 - HA series super battle droid dropped several thermal detonators into the swamp , trying to kill the " Jedi " , but the " Jedi " was able to escape the resulting explosion . As Farr and Gunray were making their way to the bottom of the detention tower , Amidala was captured by the viceroy ' s battle droids while the B2 - HA series super battle droid fired a homing torpedo at the " Jedi " . When Farr and Gunray arrived , the homing torpedo exploded , making Amidala assume that the " Jedi " was killed . C - 3PO appeared under battle droid escort , and — despite Farr ' s protest — Gunray ordered his droids to execute Amdiala and her protocol droid . As a group of droidekas were about to kill Amidala and C - 3PO , the " Jedi " climbed out of the swamp behind the group , having survived the explosion and found his robes . Farr diverted Gunray ' s attention to the " Jedi " , and the viceroy again ordered his droids to kill the " Jedi " . However , as the droidekas began to fire at the " Jedi " , a large Kwazel Maw — which the " Jedi " had befriended while in the swamp — smashed through the ground and attacked the Confederate battle droids , destroying most of them . Gunray and his remaining battle droids fled back to the palace ' s hangar , trying to escape Rodia . In the hangar , Amidala , having retrieved a blaster , destroyed the viceroy ' s droid bodyguards , while the Kwazel aw pushed Gunray ' s shuttle out of the hangar and into the swamp below . As Amidala cornered Gunray , Senator Farr appeared behind the pair , holding an E - 5 blaster rifle he had found . Gunray ordered the Rodian to kill Amidala and the " Jedi " , but Amidala lied to Gunray , saying that this entire scenario had just been a trap for the viceroy . Realizing that this was a chance to correct his previous mistakes , Farr agreed with the Naboo senator , saying that he was with the Republic , not the Confederacy . Amidala was arresting Gunray when a Republic " Venator " - class Star Destroyer appeared in orbit over Rodia , and several LAAT / i gunships landed in the hangar and Clone Commander CC - 1004 and Green Company apprehend the viceroy . C - 3PO had managed earlier to contact a nearby clone trooper deployment and tell them about Amidala ' s capture . Supreme Chancellor Palpatine contacted Farr , Amdiala , and the " Jedi " via hologram to congratulate them on capturing Gunray , and to tell Senator Farr that he has dispatched several supply convoys to Rodia to help in the relief effort . Farr attempted to thank the " Jedi " for all his help , but he discovers that the he was actually Representative Binks in disguise . After Binks had escaped from the battle droids , he found the Jedi robes in Amdiala ' s yacht , and had put them on to disguise himself so he could rescue Amidala . Farr thanked both Amdiala and Binks for their help and assured them that Rodia would remain allied to the Republic . After Gunray ' s capture , Captain Faro Argyus of the Senate Commandos , Jedi Master Luminara Unduli , Commander CC - 1004 , and Jedi Padawan Ahsoka Tano attempted to escort the Viceroy to Coruscant , where he would stand trial . However , Gunray managed to escape with the aid of Dark Acolyte Asajj Ventress and a turncoat Argyus . Cad Bane ' s raid . Later that year , Senators Farr , Padmé Amidala , Bail Organa , and several other senators met in the Executive Annex Dome East Wing of Republic Executive Building on Coruscant to discuss preventing the Enhanced Privacy Invasion Bill — a piece of legislation going through the Senate — from being passed . However , bounty hunter Cad Bane and a team of recruited hunters , intent on taking hostages to free the imprisoned Hutt crime lord Ziro Desilijic Tiure from prison , broke into the building and took the senators prisoner . When the Gran Senator Philo objected to being taken hostage and attempted to walk away , he was killed by Bane , and the bounty hunters began to collect the senators ' communication devices . Meanwhile , one of Bane ' s team members , Robonino , who had broken in the building ' s power control room , shut down the power and put the entire building on lockdown . At the same time , Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker , who was in the building at the time , attempted to engage the bounty hunters himself , trying to free the senators . However , Skywalker had given his lightsaber to Amidala , his secret wife , and was unarmed . After a brief chase throughout the Executive building , Skywalker was knocked out by Robonino before being handcuffed and taken to Bane . After Bane had negotiated Ziro ' s release with Supreme Chancellor Palpatine , the bounty hunters placed a system of lasers around the senators and the unconscious Skywalker , which would activate explosives on the slightest touch , intending to use the trapped senators as further leverage against Palpatine . After the bounty hunters had left the building , Skywalker regained consciousness , and Amidala handed back his lightsaber . Farr told the Jedi Knight the he believed that it would be safer to remain where they were , but Skywalker anticipated that Bane would not hesitate to detonate the explosives , despite the bounty hunter ' s supposed assurance of the opposite . As payback for the indignities Ziro had gone through while in prison , Bane indeed activated the explosives , but Skywalker was able to cut a hole in the floor around the senators with his lightsaber . This allowed the senators and Skywalker to drop down into the room below just as the explosives went off , saving Farr and the rest of the hostages . " Environmental " problems on Rodia . Also that year , mysterious environmental problems began to occur in the swamps on Rodia , with all the wildlife in the waters around an abandoned station dying from an unknown reason . Along with this , Rodian scouts spotted Confederate battle droids near the station . In response to this news , Senator Farr contacted Nautolan Jedi Master Kit Fisto to investigate the station for whatever was infecting the water in the swamp . After Fisto landed on Rodia , Farr briefed the Jedi Master about the situation in a LAAT / i gunship while on the way to the station . When the group arrived at the abandoned station , Fisto and several of his clone SCUBA troopers dived into the water while Farr waited back on the gunship . Fisto and his troops investigated a group of ruins underneath the station , where they discovered several modified Confederate battle droids and a device controlling the droids . Fisto also found the droids ' leader , the bounty hunter Robonino , who had gone into hiding after the Senate hostage crisis . Fisto managed to destroy the droid controlling devise , while Fisto ' s troopers fought off Robonino ' s modified droids and secured the station itself . However , the bounty hunter was able to escape in the confusion . After the battle was over , Master Fisto met with Farr in the station , telling the Rodian senator that the abandoned station was never a Confederate outpost , but instead Robonino ' s hideout , and that environmental problems were unintentionally caused by the deadly signals given off by the bounty hunter ' s modified battle droids . Farr was at first surprised that the resulting destruction was accidental , but the Jedi said that in nature , the unintended is often so . As the two were finishing up their conversation , a Kwazel Maw emerged from the swamp water and spat out Robonino , giving him over to Republic custody . Later activities . Farr later returned to Coruscant and was present in Senate ' s dining commons , eating alongside fellow Senator Kin Robb , during Senator Amidala ' s attempts to discern Scipio Senator Rush Clovis ' s allegiances . Later in the war , Farr was part of a senatorial delegation on Mandalore during the events of the Death Watch scare . When Mandalorian Duchess Satine Kryze resolved to travel to Coruscant to plead the case of Mandalore ' s neutrality to the Senate , Farr accompanied her aboard her transport , the luxury yacht , " Coronet " . Alongside fellow Senators Orn Free Taa , Kin Robb , and Tal Merrik , Farr enjoyed the lavish environment of the " Coronet " while under the protection of Jedi Obi - Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker . The luxury vessel came under attack from assassin probe s during a Death Watch attempt on Kryze ' s life , however all senators aboard survived . Following the attack , Kenobi interrogated the senators under the suspicion that one of them was a spy for the Death Watch . Senator Merrik was revealed to be the turncoat , and during his escape attempt , a probe killer droid managed to land on Farr ' s clothing . Kenobi destroyed the droid before Farr was harmed , and Skywalker later succeeded in killing Merrik . The trip ended with all no harm being done to Farr , Robb , Taa , or Kryze . Disgrace after Duro . In 20 BBY , the Confederate General Grievous led an assault on the planet Duro , and after a week of heavy fighting , captured the planet in a decisive victory . Later , during an investigation by Agent Inglemenn Barezz of the Senate Bureau of Intelligence , it was discovered that the Iseno senator , Ronet Coorr , had redirected three " Venator " - class Star Destroyers to Rodia , where they were to be employed as " shakedown cruisers " . Barezz also discovered that Senator Farr had bribed Coorr to redirect the Star Destroyers , which forced both senators to resign their spots on the Loyalist Committee and in the Senate . After his resignation , Farr returned to Rodia , ending his political career . Opposition and assassination . After Senator Padmé Amidala ' s meeting with Separatist Senator Mina Bonteri and the news of the Separatist Parliament ' s bill for peace , Farr put forward the notion to vote the bank deregulation bill down . Farr campaigned with fellow Senators Padmé Amidala and Bail Organa to reduce and eventually stop the production of clone troopers . However , Senator Halle Burtoni proposed a bill to fund and produce 5 , 000 , 000 clone troopers . Farr and his colleagues strongly opposed the bill , so Organa prepared to speak before the full senate . Once he did , the trio believed many of the senators still undecided would agree to oppose the bill . Farr and Amidala visited the Quarren Senator Christo in his apartment in order to convince him to join the opposition . Before the speech , however , Farr , Amidala , and Organa were each individually attacked by bounty hunters Robonino and Chata Hyoki . All three surviving the attacks , Onaconda was injured but alright . Amidala sustained no serious injuries also . Organa was not so fortunate . He could not give his speech , so Amidala spoke in his place and the bill was defeated . After Padmé ' s speech , Farr said to himself , " well done , Padmé " . As a result of this opposition , he was assaulted by Separatist - hired thugs who did not want him to vote against the bill . Farr ' s mind was not changed , however , and he and Amidala attempted to convince the Senate . After the Senate then voted for the bill , Farr and the other senators opposing the bill celebrated . However , Farr was murdered by his legal aide , Lolo Purs , in an act of revenge for plunging Rodia into war . Purs poisoned Farr ' s drink , and to the shock of everyone else in the room , Farr fainted and died almost immediately . Before Senator Farr ' s body was returned to Rodia , a funeral was given on Coruscant attended by many of his friends , as well as other senators , Jedi Council members and the Supreme Chancellor . Silood , in his eulogy , mentioned that Onaconda Farr was a flawed man , but he never compromised his principles and always acted with his people ' s needs in mind . Following the funeral , an investigation by the Coruscant Security Force ensued , and Purs ' s culpability was discovered by Amidala , who turned her over to the police . Personality and traits . Farr was a strong supporter of the Galactic Republic and Supreme Chancellor Finis Valorum , though he was a loud critic of Supreme Chancellor Palpatine . Farr believed that during the Separatist Crisis , Palpatine was just following his own political agenda to strengthen his own power . Senator Farr was a strong proponent of the Military Creation Act , believing that a strong Army of the Republic was needed to counter the growing Separatist threat . Senator Farr was also an extreme patriot to Rodia , going to great lengths to protect and supply his homeworld , willing to even give up his honor to do so . Although he had no love for the Separatists , Farr joined the Confederacy , and even handed over his long - time friend , Senator Amidala , in order to obtain food and supplies to his people . Although , when he discovered that Amidala was to be executed , he did realize that he had made a mistake in aligning with the Separatists . He was also willing to bribe another senator to provide security for Rodia . In addition , Farr was frightened by bounty hunter Cad Bane and his posse , as he was willing to comply with the Hunter ' s orders and did not doubt the reality of Bane ' s threats .
