Lorz Geptun Lorz Geptun was a Balawai Human colonel during the Clone Wars in the Pelek Baw militia , and , by extension , the army of the Confederacy of Independent Systems , with which his homeworld of Haruun Kal was aligned . He then joined the Republic Intelligence and left it shortly after it became the Imperial Intelligence . Later , he joined the Alliance to Restore the Republic which later became the New Republic . Biography . ' Geptun ' was a Korun nai name . His paternal grandfather had been a Korun who moved out of the jungle to the city . Geptun blamed that part of him for making him too proud to change the name ; however , it granted him a degree of Force - sensitivity , and he was able to both sense the emotions of others and mask his from other Force - sensitives . Geptun commented to Windu at being an expert in dejarik . When Mace Windu arrived on the planet six months after the First Battle of Geonosis , the Jedi Master was brought before Geptun after he was shot and captured by the militia while trying to save the life of Phloremirrla Tenk . Geptun questioned Windu but released him when Windu told him that his mission was to extract the rogue Master Depa Billaba , who as a new leader of the Korunnai Upland Liberation Front had been causing trouble for Geptun and the militia . Even so , Geptun evidently declined to call off the regular gunship patrols that battered Korunnai across the breadth of the jungle . Two of his gunships were lost and one damaged at Windu ' s hands when they attacked the party he was journeying with . Soon after , a series of violent atrocities in quick succession touched off a new wave of aggression between Geptun ' s militia and the natives , and Billaba and Windu led a large group of Korunnai to Lorshan Pass . Geptun , in turn , dispatched a number of squadrons of droid starfighters to attack the natives when Windu refused to surrender . His plans were thwarted , however , after Windu ingeniously tricked the droid fighters into dogfighting each other . Windu then led the Korunnai rebels into the capital of Pelek Baw itself , and moved against Geptun ' s base . Geptun was forced to surrender to Windu and shut down the remaining droid starfighters , effectively handing the planet over to the Galactic Republic . Following the battle , he joined the Republic Army . Without his knowledge , Windu put in a request to transfer him to Republic Intelligence . Geptun stayed in Republic Intelligence for a brief time after it became Imperial Intelligence , just long enough to uncover some of the realities of the " Jedi Rebellion . " He made a living as a freelance information broker for some time , staying under the Empire ' s radar until he recognized the potential value of the freedom offered by the Rebel Alliance and offered his services to them . This was much more out of a desire for profit than out of any political or altruistic motivation . The former officer eventually became Inspector Lorz Geptun of the New Republic Judicial Service . Just after the Battle of Mindor , then - General Luke Skywalker requested ( on the advice of Nick Rostu ) Geptun ' s service in investigating whether Skywalker had done any wrong in the campaign against Lord Shadowspawn . Rather than build an indictment as Skywalker requested , however , Geptun came up with a script for a holothriller based on the events . By the time he reported back to Luke Skywalker , he had already sold the rights to the holo and two sequels to producers . Although he initially met with Luke ' s frustration , Geptun was able to enlist his support and Luke suggested some edits for a rewrite of the script with less made - up action and a little more verisimilitude .
