Zonder Zonder was a Selonian Jedi Padawan who worked as a crime fighter in Imperial Center ' s lower levels . Originally , he had been apprenticed to Jedi Knight Barriss Offee during the Clone Wars . Offee was sent to Felucia to serve as a healer , covertly , in the waning stages of the war , and Zonder accompanied her . While there , they were captured by the Confederacy of Independent Systems and thrown in prison . They were later rescued by the Jedi Aayla Secura and Ekria , as well as the clone trooper CC - 5052 . It was later revealed that President e Shu Mai of the Commerce Guild had arranged to poison Felucia ' s water supply , and so Secura sought to save the planet . Zonder was teamed up with fellow Padawans Ekria and Drake Lo ' gaan , but as they were investigating a water plant near Jiaozi , Order 66 was initiated , and all Jedi were declared enemies of the Galactic Republic . Offee died during Order 66 , as did Secura , and so the Padawan trio were left without guidance . The Republic was swiftly replaced with now - Emperor Palpatine ' s Galactic Empire , and the Jedi became wanted fugitives . Fleeing to Imperial Center , the Padawans were targeted by Inquisitor Antinnis Tremayne , and Zonder was nearly forced into slavery . Trying to keep a low profile while still acting as Jedi , the trio became crime fighters in Imperial Center ' s lower levels , and in doing so , became involved with the machinations of Black Sun captain Prince Xizor . Xizor , who was dealing with Tremayne at the time , had Zonder captured and placed in Tremayne ' s custody . Zonder was later slain in one - on - one combat against Tremayne ' s master , Lord Darth Vader . Biography . Felucia . A Selonian from Selonia , Zonder was a Force - sensitive being , and was one of several children . He was eventually brought into the Jedi Order , and although he was adept at telekinesis , he was not particularly skilled at lightsaber combat . During the Clone Wars , Zonder was apprenticed to Jedi Knight Barriss Offee . Offee , a healer , was sent to Felucia along with her new Padawan to work as a healer to the natives who had been injured in the recent Republic attack on the world . Since Felucia was a Confederate world , Zonder and Offee had to work undercover , posing as relief workers , operating without the help of their lightsabers . While healing one day , the pair spotted Shu Mai , a key figure in the Confederate leadership , and Offee believed that the capture of such a figure would be a great boon to the Republic ' s cause . As the pair secretly attempted to contact the Jedi Council on Coruscant , they were set upon by a detachment of enemy battle droids . Departing their hut swiftly , Zonder urged his master to stay where she was . Evading the enemy blaster fire , he dropped a slab of stone on the B1 battle droids , to the delight of Offee . The pair then began their dash to the executive landing platform , where there was a transmission facility . Along the way , they were confronted by droidekas , prompting the Jedi to split up . Leaping to higher ground , Zonder was soon faced with Hunter - Seeker droid s , which he promptly destroyed . The resulting explosion , however , threatened to kill two nearby Gossam children , forcing Offee to stop her evasion of the enemy droids and save the innocent bystanders . As a result , she was captured , and urged Zonder to stand down . He complied , and the pair were taken into Confederate custody . They were held at the nearby Nigkoe Detention Facility for some time , until a task force led by General Aayla Secura and Commander CC - 5052 broke into the facility and freed Offee and Zonder . Helping them was the Padawan Ekria , who , in trying to find the group a way out of Nigkoe , realized that they wouldn ' t be able to descend from the facility , as there was a considerable staging area for Confederate troops below . Zonder and CC - 5052 , known as " Bly , " concurred in thinking that the best option for their escape would be to ascend the building . Picking up Offee and Ekria , Zonder leapt to the top of Nigkoe , while Bly and Secura rappelled up . Bly then destroyed the facility ' s shield generator , allowing the 327th Star Corps to descend and pick the group up . Offee requested that she and Zonder be able to collect their lightsabers and personal effects from the facility , while Secura revealed that Coruscant had fallen under attack by the Confederacy . Despite the situation , she insisted that they capture Mai before leaving for the capital , hoping to extract any information as to the Confederate plan from the leader of the Commerce Guild . The Jedi made their way to Mai ' s compound near Kway Teow , and , after eliminating the perimeter guard , were taken towards the compound itself by Bly and his men , who were riding BARC speeders . Along the way , the group was harried by vulture droids , but they were in turn covered by Aggressive ReConnaissance - 170 starfighters . The speeders did not last for long , and as they were destroyed by the pursuing fighters , the Jedi jumped into a nearby river . The river ran through to a waterfall , at the foot of which was a hidden entrance to the compound . Making their way cautiously through the corridors , Secura put Ekria to work at a nearby terminal . The young Padawan quickly discovered that Mai had in fact already departed Felucia , much to Secura ' s frustration . After Ekria let Bly and his troops into the facility , she was able to bring up a HoloNet News feed , which reported that the Confederacy had been driven away from Coruscant , due largely to the efforts of Generals Obi - Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker , whom Zonder greatly admired . Immediately afterward , Zonder detected a strange smell , and Bly reported that there were toxins permeating the compound . Ekria ' s slicing had prompted a count - down sequence for the building ' s self - destruction , and Secura urged everyone to leave the compound posthaste . There was no door for them to escape through , but the hulking Zonder simply burst through one of the walls , allowing them to reach safety before the ensuing detonation . Many clone troopers died in the explosion , but more disturbing to Secura was the fact that their presence had triggered the release of poisonous biological agents into the planet ' s entire water supply . According to the group ' s calculations , within four days all water on the planet would be poisoned , resulting in a potentially massive loss of life . Order 66 . Secura believed , however , that the crisis could be averted if they could capture several key water treatment facilities . She contacted Jedi Master Mace Windu , requesting more clones , and he agreed , sending Stass Allie to deliver them . Along with the reinforcements came Padawan Drake Lo ' gaan , who was the apprentice of the late Roron Corobb . In the proposed strikes on the treatment plants , Secura sent Zonder , Ekria , and Lo ' gaan to the city of Jiaozi , while she and Offee attacked separate locations . They were joined by the clone trooper Galle . While scouting the defenses , Ekria noted that there were sentients guarding Jiaozi ' s plant , preventing them from simply shooting everything . Zonder suggested biting some of them , but Lo ' gaan came up with another idea . Zonder bellowed , creating the loudest noise he possibly could , putting the defenders on the offensive . The Padawans then attacked , until Lo ' gaan loudly gave Galle the order to retreat . As the clones ran away , the defending troops gave chase , leaving the facility largely unguarded . The few Gossam that did remain were easily intimidated by Zonder , who rounded them up , and had them direct the others to the control room . Ekria then quickly shut down the facility , preventing the toxin from spreading through it . The Selonian couldn ' t raise Offee or Secura while in the room , however , and so Ekria patched the cameras located in the clone troopers ' helmets through the main viewscreen . She then detected a priority signal coming through for Commander Bly from Coruscant , but she was not able to decrypt it , initially . Meanwhile , on the clone cameras , the Padawans , to their horror , were met with the sight of Secura being gunned down by her own men . The message was then decrypted , and it revealed that Bly had been given " Order 66 , " a term that the Padawans were unfamiliar with . Shortly thereafter , they received a transmission from Supreme Chancellor Palpatine , urging them to return to the Jedi Temple , as the war was apparently over . Switching to Galle ' s camera , they found that he was closing in on their position , to Lo ' gaan ' s great concern . Adventures on Imperial Center . Zonder , Ekria , and Lo ' gaan were able to evade Galle and made their way to Coruscant , now called " Imperial Center . " Palpatine had seized power and made himself Emperor , replacing the Republic with a Galactic Empire . In the wake of Order 66 , the Jedi had all but been wiped from the face of the galaxy . Nevertheless , the trio managed to eke out an existence on Imperial Center — Zonder in particular was able to hunt in Imperial City ' s lower levels for food . Meanwhile , Ekria sliced into the Jedi Temple ' s archives , and erased the Padawans ' existence from them . She believed that there were other Jedi who had survived , and that they would return to Imperial Center to liberate the people of the galaxy from Palpatine ' s Empire . Lo ' gaan disagreed , but the group agreed that they would not make any public displays of using the Force , lest they bring down the Imperial authorities upon themselves . Lo ' gaan decided to venture into the Uscru Entertainment District to cheat , using the Force , at a game of divot , in order to obtain some credits . Zonder observed the game from nearby , in case of trouble . Sure enough , it came , when a Toydarian playing noticed that Lo ' gaan was but a child , and he was apprehended by the Nalle triplets . When a disgruntled Jokhalli drew his blaster in an attempt to kill Lo ' gaan , Zonder burst forth from his position , freeing his comrade . They departed the room , but were spotted by Imperial stormtroopers , forcing them to flee . As they neared the Outlander Club , Lo ' gaan believed they were safe , until they came across yet another set of stormtroopers . Ekria , however , arrived to liberate them , allowing them to escape . As they did so , however , Lo ' gaan utilized the Force to knock back incoming stormtroopers , to Ekria ' s chagrin . At her urging , Zonder and Lo ' gaan set out to find legitimate jobs at Employment Center DA4176 , which was meant for non - Humans only . Lo ' gaan was approached by members of the Sub - Adult Group , who separated him from Zonder , as Lo ' gaan was a Human . Alone , the Selonian found a job as a construction worker , helping rebuild Imperial Center following the prior Battle of Coruscant . However , he was to be shipped off - world in several days to the Emerald Splendor Estates on Byss , where some benefactors of the Clone Wars were having a " luxury housing emergency . " He met up with Lo ' gaan and Ekria after claiming his job — Lo ' gaan had succeeded in entering the Sub - Adult Group . Ekria was unsure , however , as the Sub - Adult Group was a subdivision of the Commission for the Preservation of the New Order , which was dedicated to protecting the Empire against those who opposed it . Meanwhile , Ekria had located a new place of residence for the trio , an apartment that was considerably more upscale than their previous hideout . Shortly afterward , Zonder boarded the craft bound for Byss , and shared a room with a Gotal , an Ithorian , and a Gran . Before departing , however , Ekria burst into their room sporting makeshift armor , informing him that the ship was a slave ship . She insisted that they leave , but Zonder would not depart without the other non - Humans aboard the craft . Destroying the astromech droids that were serving drinks , the Selonian announced that he was a Jedi , and that everyone aboard was being unwittingly lured into slavery . His point got through to some of his fellow non - Humans , and they joined him and Ekria in leaving the ship . Before they could make it off the craft , however , the group was confronted by three Inquisitors — Halmere , Gwellib Ap - Llewff , and Lanu Pasiq — who each had their blasters drawn . Halmere specifically demanded that Zonder come with them , while Pasiq ordered the other non - Humans back to their cabins . The Selonian responded by biting Halmere ' s arm , while Pasiq opened fire on Ekria . The Padawan was able to deflect the blast , but the non - Humans were inspired . They attacked the Inquisitors and subdued them , before stormtroopers arrived and opened fire . The group found shelter within the ship and was joined by Lo ' gaan . Zonder , however , noticed that the ship ' s engines were starting up , and Lo ' gaan informed them that all the primary exits were guarded . Ekria , figuring out an exit strategy , led them to the ship ' s cargo bay . There , they found a Bantha - II cargo skiff , allowing the group to escape . Lo ' gaan , however , had other business to attend to , and he returned to the ship . He came back sometime later , and the trio were able to relax back at Ekria ' s new apartment . Black Sun intrigue . Following the slave ship incident , Zonder , Lo ' gaan , and Ekria became crime fighters in Coruscant ' s underground , and took on the code names of " Paws , " " Spike , " and " Blue , " respectively . One night , they witnessed the Nashtah Gang accost an Omwati couple , Kodo and Aleema Finn . The trio , donning makeshift costumes , fought off the gang , but Kodo was wounded by a departing adversary . Inspecting the wound , a flesh burn , Zonder had Ekria call for a medic , before the trio departed the scene . Later , while Zonder and Lo ' gaan defended a local vendor from a pack of thugs , Ekria informed them over their comlinks that she had discovered that Kodo Finn had been branded with the symbol of crime syndicate Black Sun . As Zonder urged the vendor to call the local authorities , Lo ' gaan requested the Finns ' location from Ekria , so they could warn them of Black Sun ' s involvement . She provided it , and so Lo ' gaan and Zonder began traveling to 662 Gasgor Valley . Making their way up the side of the Finns ' building , the two Jedi entered through the window and sat down with the Omwati couple , attempting to determine whether or not they knew if Black Sun had any cause to target them . At that moment , an explosion rocked the room , and the bounty hunter Boushh entered . Lo ' gaan ordered Zonder to take the Finns away and told him that he would meet up with them later . Ekria rendezvoused with Zonder and the Finns , and Lo ' gaan joined them later , having battled both Boushh and Inquisitor Antinnis Tremayne at the apartment . Realizing that Black Sun wanted Kodo dead , Lo ' gaan questioned the Finns , and discovered that he had been tinkering with Xizor Transport Company docking assignments for the Tagge Company . The Xizor Transport Company was owned by Prince Xizor , an ambitious Black Sun captain . The Finns decided that they wanted to leave Imperial Center and forge a new life , but Lo ' gaan would hear none of it , insisting that they confront Xizor directly . Zonder joined him , and took the Finns along to the Xizor Transport Company headquarters , with Ekria in tow . Making their way through the facility , the group battled droidekas and Xizor ' s bodyguards , before entering the prince ' s office . There , Xizor himself was waiting for them , initially believing that the Jedi had brought the Finns in to collect the bounty on their heads . Instead , Ekria claimed that the Finns would provide the prince with information of the Tagge docking plans , in exchange for immunity in departing Imperial Center . Another condition was that they would never return to the galactic capital , or Xizor would be free to have them killed . The group were then free to leave , although the prince had placed tracking devices on the Jedi . They discovered the ruse , however , and placed the devices on a trio of rodents . Ekria supposed that they would not be able to live in peace until they faced down Inquisitor Tremayne , but Lo ' gaan disagreed , believing that their quest would not be over until they confronted Tremayne ' s master , the Dark Lord of the Sith , Darth Vader . Death at the hands of the Sith . Eventually , Zonder was somehow captured by Xizor ' s agents . Rendered unconscious , the prince transferred custody over him to Inquisitor Tremayne , who began torturing him . The Inquisitor tried to convince the Selonian that his friends were not coming to rescue him , but Zonder , demonstrating his ability with the Force , picked up the nearby Inquisitor Pasiq with telekinesis , and claimed that he was not desperate , merely hungry . At that moment , Lord Vader himself entered the room , having been disturbed by Zonder ' s earlier screams . The Dark Lord inspected the Selonian ' s lightsaber and personal communicator , the latter of which he activated , to Tremayne ' s surprise . With the images from the torture chamber now being transmitted to Lo ' gaan and Ekria , Vader had Zonder released from the torture apparatus and gave him his lightsaber . Zonder did not fear Vader , but he realized that he would not survive the forthcoming duel with the Dark Lord , due to his sub - par skills with the lightsaber . The two clashed blades , but as Zonder leapt to dodge the Dark Lord ' s attacks , Vader threw his saber , striking the Selonian in the shoulder . Moving in to attack , Zonder was quickly out - fenced by Vader , who struck him across the midsection , before decapitating the Selonian . Zonder ' s body was later recovered by Ekria and Lo ' gaan , who buried him on Selonia , after they faked their own deaths on Tepasi . Personality and traits . An enthusiastic and amicable Jedi , Zonder was constantly eager to enter combat , even if the situation was inappropriate . He obeyed his masters instructions , although his actions sometimes put others in danger . Zonder greatly admired prominent war heroes such as Anakin Skywalker , and he served diligently during the Felucian campaign of the Clone Wars . When he lost his master to Order 66 , the Selonian was forced to work in a team with fellow Padawans Drake Lo ' gaan and Ekria , and he was able to do so effectively , coming to his allies ' aid when needed . Zonder was also self - aware enough to realize his own shortcomings , and although he did not fear men like Darth Vader , he knew he was not skilled enough to defeat them in lightsaber combat . One of Zonder ' s foibles was that food was often at the forefront of his mind , an oddity he joked about even when in grave danger . Powers and abilities . Zonder was an adept melee combatant , able to dispatch foes with his claws and teeth , and using the Force to reach lofty heights . His strength allowed him to carry people even while jumping , and his skill with telekinesis was such that he used it frequently in combat . Zonder was even able to push others away with the Force while not looking at them , and he had the ability to levitate others even while being severely tortured . The Selonian ' s lightsaber skills , however , were sub - par , as he almost failed his classes on the subject . Behind the scenes . Zonder first appeared in Paul Ens ' 2004 – 2005 " Reversal of Fortune " webstrip , in which the character played a supporting role amongst the " ensemble " cast . In the subsequent 2005 " " , he played a more central role . He was later killed off by Ens in the second sequel to " Recruitment " , " " , in 2006 . In all four of his appearances , Zonder was illustrated by Tom Hodges , and although he is identified as a Selonian , his depiction differs drastically to that of the Selonians pictured in " Alien Encounters " or " Alien Anthology " . In March 2013 , the depicted Barriss Offee as a traitor to the Jedi Order , in the timeline preceding Zonder ' s apprenticeship to her . The change to Offee ' s character brought into question whether she still began training Zonder , as depicted in " Reversal of Fortune " . Holocron continuity database manager Leland Chee has stated that Lucasfilm Ltd . has not made a decision about how the " Reversal of Fortune " material would be retconned , though he personally could not see Offee returning to the Jedi Order in time to become Zonder ' s Master . This article preserves all material from " Reversal of Fortune " as canon .
