Agrippa Aldrete / Legends Agrippa Aldrete was a Human male hailing from the peaceful planet of Alderaan . In the last decades of the Galactic Republic , Aldrete served as the senator of his sector in the Galactic Senate , under the reign of Queen Mazicia of Alderaan . He was later succeeded by his compatriot Bail Antilles , to whom he eventually became a senatorial aide . By 32 BBY , Agrippa Aldrete was still serving in the Senate , and he witnessed the political turmoil that resulted from the invasion of the small planet Naboo by the Trade Federation conglomerate . Biography . Agrippa Aldrete was a Human male from Alderaan , a very old , pristine planet located in the Core Worlds , in the waning decades of the Galactic Republic . Agrippa shared his surname with other Alderaanians of note , namely the noblewoman Alya Aldrete and the bureaucrat Celana Aldrete . Agrippa Aldrete came of age at seventeen , following the Alderaanian law . He built himself a career as a politician , ascending to the position of senator , with the duty to represent Alderaan ' s sector in the Galactic Senate . His delegation held considerable power in the Senate Rotunda , since Alderaan was once part of the Tetrahedron , an ancient area of the galaxy that contained the founding worlds of the Republic . During Aldrete ' s mandate , the reigning Queen of Alderaan was Mazicia Organa , mother to the future Viceroy and First Chairman Bail Organa . The Queen ordered the construction of the " Star of Alderaan " , a blockade runner CR90 corvette which was reserved for Senator Aldrete ' s use . At some point before 33 BBY , Senator Aldrete stepped down from office , making way for his fellow Alderaanian Bail Antilles — who held the title of prince on their planet . Former senator Aldrete eventually returned to the Senate as an aide to his successor , a duty he shared with the female diplomat Liana Merian . In 32 BBY , Agrippa Aldrete was still a member of the Senate when the Trade Federation , a complex organization of trade officials and associated bureaucrats , invaded the remote world of Naboo . Following the crisis , Supreme Chancellor Finis Valorum was removed from office and replaced by Senator Palpatine of Naboo . Personality and traits . Agrippa Aldrete was a light - skinned man with blue eyes and a slim build . At the time of the Naboo crisis , he was an older gentleman sporting short gray hair , darker bushy eyebrows and a pointy goatee . Following a tradition of the Alderaanian ambassadorial community , he wore an all - white tunic parting down the middle , with a high collar and ornated with sober stripes of embroidered lozenges . Behind the scenes . Character origins . Agrippa Aldrete was among the many characters that were ultimately cut from the 1999 movie , the first installment of the " Star Wars " prequel trilogy . According to the fan website Star Wars Autograph Collecting , Aldrete was portrayed by Henry Jones . He was featured in a scene where Bail Organa , played by the actor Adrian Dunbar , seconded the motion for a Vote of No Confidence in the leadership of Chancellor Valorum . Aldrete was present in Bail Organa ' s repulsorpod along with Liana Merian and another draped senator . The scene even contained a medium shot focused on Organa and Aldrete , with the senator searching the eyes of his aide , waiting for his approval before standing up to support the motion . The actor had no dialogue , however , and Aldrete only signaled his approval by a short bow . Although that scene was ultimately excised from the final movie , Adrian Dunbar ' s likeness was later reused as Bail Antilles , and Agrippa Aldrete was referenced in various sources that brought him back into canon . Pictures of him appeared in the reference book " " and in " " , an interactive CD - ROM — both of which were put on the market the same year as the movie . Years later , in October 2006 , an article from the " Refresher Reading " feature of the " Star Wars Insider " magazine established a link between Aldrete , Mazicia Organa and the " Star of Alderaan " . In the article , however , the character ' s name was misspelled as " Aggripe Aldrite . " In real - life , " Agrippa " was originally an old name that was first used as a ( a given name ) and afterwards as a ( an " additional " name , which distinguished branches of a clan from each other ) . According to official news page , Agrippa Aldrete was named after the university ' s Professor Gregory Aldrete and his Labrador retriever Agrippa . Lookalikes . The likeness of Aldrete has often been reused for separate characters in the Expanded Universe . In the of " Star Wars Episode I " , a character working at the Tourist Center on Coruscant resembled Aldrete , both in clothing and physical traits . Later in the game , another individual represented by the same character model could be encountered in the lower levels of Coruscant . In 2010 , a character matching Aldrete ' s physical appearance and characteristic outfit appeared alongside Senators Bail Organa , Mon Mothma and Padmé Amidala in " Assassin , " a episode of the animated series " " . Two years later , the same character model was also used in the episode " Crisis on Naboo , " although with a different outfit . In that episode , the Aldrete lookalike attended Chancellor Palpatine ' s speech on the occasion of Naboo ' s annual Festival of Light . Nonetheless , Keeper of the Holocron continuity database Leland Chee later indicated that the character seen in " The Clone Wars " was not Agrippa , stating that the beard looked too different and that the character model was replicated in some shots .
