Though Wasaki was able to fend off many would - be captors , he fell prey to the bounty hunters Leshy Drobo , Gammid , and XT - 8 . Wasaki was able to kill Gammid , but the other two apprehended him , encased him in carbonite , and prepared to deliver him to their client . However , Wasaki used the Force to enter Drobo ' s mind , and convinced the bounty hunter to set him free . XT - 8 learned of that , and killed Drobo , but in the process destroyed the hyperdrive of their craft , the " Starkiller " . The thirty - day trip was elongated to 20 , 000 years , and Wasaki , preserved in carbonite , was slowly driven insane . Stumbled upon by a group of intrepid soldiers of the Alliance to Restore the Republic , Wasaki was freed in the Imperial Period , a desolate madman . Biography . Early life and Jedi Knighthood . The Human male Roni von Wasaki was born sometime prior to the year 20 , 000 BBY and was trained as a Jedi Knight during the Expansionist Era . He was dispatched to several frontier regions , where he established peace and order . Gaining the respect of the people , Wasaki ' s administration was widely accepted and embraced . However , his position earned him the ire of criminals and those seeking to tip the balance of justice . Prisoner of Leshy Drobo . Displeased with Wasaki ' s crackdown on illicit activities in certain sectors , a crime boss put out a bounty of 100 , 000 credits on the itinerant Jedi , which prompted a slew of hunters to attempt to capture him . Many failed , but eventually , Leshy Drobo and his droid , XT - 8 , along with their partner Gammid succeeded . By letting Wasaki concentrate all his attention on affecting Drobo ' s mind , the immune XT - 8 was able to stun the Jedi , though in the process , Gammid was felled . Confiscating Wasaki ' s lightsaber and shoto , Drobo froze him in carbonite and stored him in the hold of his ship , the " Starkiller " . Still attempting to resist capture in hibernation , Wasaki mentally reached out to Drobo , convincing the captain to free him and return his weapons . However , XT - 8 learned of that and killed Drobo , as he had become a liability . In the process , XT - 8 damaged the " Starkiller " hyperdrive . The droid , unable to repair the ship , continued the trip on sublight drive , turning a thirty day jump into 20 , 000 years . Wasaki persisted in his frozen state , continually trying to reach anyone passing within close proximity of the ship . Though the carbonite preserved him , the elongated journey slowly drove him insane , leaving him with twenty millennia of lonely thoughts and dreams . His situation also left him permanently blind , leaving him with only the Force to rely on . 20 , 000 years later . During the Imperial era , a group of Rebel soldiers with a Force - sensitive amongst them discovered the " Starkiller " making its painstakingly long journey . They boarded the craft , and after encountering several dangers , including XT - 8 , found the frozen Wasaki . The Rebels were able to free the Jedi with a minimum of fuss , and began questioning him about his situation . Disoriented , the ancient Jedi struggled with the answers , offering little information , while probing the minds of the Rebels with the Force , due to force of habit . Wasaki persisted until the Rebels gave up and transferred him onto their ship . However , before long , the Jedi grew fearful , and asserted to the crew that the dark side of the Force had physically manifested itself on board the ship , and that he , Roni von Wasaki , was the embodiment of the light side . He also believed that someone was trying to penetrate his mind . Realizing that Wasaki was disturbed , the Rebels tried to help him , but the Jedi suddenly went rigid as if once again encased in carbonite . Impervious to pain , Wasaki began to use the Force aggressively against the Rebels with murderous intent . He then snapped back out of his immobile state and attacked the Rebels with his lightsabers . The Force - sensitive amongst the Rebels was able to subdue the Jedi and disarm him . Personality and traits . Roni von Wasaki was considered a benevolent and fair keeper of the peace during his time in the frontier sectors , but it was these qualities that prompted criminals to target him . He preferred not to directly attack his opponents , instead relying on the Force to subdue them , a choice that eventually led to his capture . He had no qualms with entering and manipulating the minds of others , something that he did frequently . 20 , 000 years of carbonite - induced hibernation slowly drove Wasaki insane . In his demented state , he was prone to violence without cause and displayed sudden bouts of fear and paranoia . Powers and abilities . Wasaki was a practitioner of an unusual lightsaber technique , wielding both a standard sized saber and a smaller shoto . Wasaki chose that despite it being suited more to dueling rather than his typical law enforcement duties . He was proficient in the use of the mind trick , and he used it often . In his state of delirium , affecting minds would become second nature to him . After waking up into a completely new galaxy , he often fell into trances . He would also ignore pain and assert that it was his role to defeat the dark side once and for all . Wasaki was also particularly skilled in telekinesis and could use the Force to injure or outright kill his opponents ; however , the group of Rebels were able to subdue him . Behind the scenes . Roni von Wasaki was created by Chris Hind in the 1992 gaming article " Disturbance in the Force " , which was first published in the unlicensed magazine " Challenge 66 " . He serves as a final antagonist for the player in the game . This is the only source in which von Wasaki appears , and as such , his canon status within the " Star Wars Legends " continuity is uncertain . " Disturbance in the Force " asserted that Roni von Wasaki wielded lightsabers circa 20 , 000 BBY , which later created a timeline conflict with the publication of the 2005 reference book " The New Essential Chronology " . The book did not take into account information presented in unlicensed sources such as " Disturbance in the Force " when detailing the history of lightsabers , and it instead established that first lightsabers were created around 15 , 500 BBY .
