Bordo A male Tusken Raider , Bordo was one many Tuskens to be recruited by the Galactic Empire affiliated Dark Jedi Maw . Originally from the planet Tatooine , Bordo was a follower of the Tusken Jedi A ' Sharad Hett . When Hett was unmasked by the Jedi Obi - Wan Kenobi , Hett ' s protégé KkH ' Oar ' Rrhr led Hett ' s followers offworld . Once discovered by Maw , they were transformed into a mercenary swoop gang known as the Grave Tuskens , and were used to rob ancient Jedi graves . KkH ' Oar ' Rrhr eventually left the gang , and the Tusken Rogg took his place as the leader of the Tusken band , acting under Maw . Bordo became Rogg ' s second - in - command , a relationship that proved strenuous . Bordo grew to hate his leader and sought to replace Rogg with himself . During the year 5 ABY , the Tuskens were on the moon of Sulon with their forces scattered around the Katarn family compound and the city of Barons Hed . When Kyle Katarn returned to his home and commandeered a T - 4 troop transport to run from the occupying Imperial forces with , Bordo and the Grave Tuskens gave chase on their swoop bikes . During the course of thechase , Bordo shot Rogg , took brief control of the gang , boarded Kyle ' s T - 4 , and was subsequently shot off of the transport by Kyle . The Jedi escaped , and a number of the remaining Tuskens slammed into an Imperial blockade . Biography . Birth of the Grave Tuskens . Born on the planet Tatooine , Bordo was a Tusken Raider male , and a member of the tribe of the Tusken - raised Human A ' Sharad Hett . Sometime during or after the year 22 BBY , Bordo learned of the massacre of the Rrhr hunting band , although he was unaware of the culprit : Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker . One day , Bordo ' s companion , KkH ' Oar ' Rrhr — also known as Hoar — entered the home of the Jedi hermit Obi - Wan Kenobi , and found the Jedi ' s lightsaber weapon . Activating it , Hoar experienced a vision of a masked lightsaber wielder striking Hoar down . When Kenobi returned to his hut , Hoar fled , and later told Bordo and the Tusken Sliven about the vision . Both Tuskens told Hoar that the being in the vision must have been the Rrhr clan ' s killer . During the year 17 BBY , Hett ' s clan attacked the homestead of a man named Owen Lars . However , they were intercepted by Kenobi , who battled Hett . Kenobi won , and tore off Hett ' s face covering bandages . As having one ' s face uncovered was an act of shame according to Tusken standards , many of Hett ' s followers abandoned him . The Tusken Jedi ended up leaving Tatooine behind . Hoar , Bordo , and a multitude of others did not give up on Hett so easily . Hett was pursued by those who still admired the fallen tribesman . The Tuskens ' search brought them to the Outer Rim Territories , and they visited planets such as Portug and Dromund Kaas . While on Dromund Kaas , however , they encountered a Dark Jedi follower of the Galactic Empire emperor , Palpatine . The Boltrunian ' s name was Maw , and the Dark Jedi took the rogue Tuskens under his wing , turning them into a swoop gang . To honor Hett , the new gang of Tuskens adorned new masks that bore to the galaxy their bare faces . After robbing Jedi tombs on the planet Tython , Maw officially named his new henchman the Grave Tuskens . Eventually , the Imperial agent Arden Lyn discovered Maw ' s followers , and took Hoar away to train in the combat art of Teräs Käsi . During 2 BBY , the Tusken Rogg became the gang ' s leader , while Bordo fell in as Rogg ' s second - in - command . Second to none . During 4 ABY , the Empire had been dealt a serious blow with the death of Emperor Palpatine . One year later , the Dark Jedi Jerec rose from the ashes . Maw had since become a member of Jerec ' s cabal , and naturally , the Grave Tuskens followed in his footsteps . Despite holding the rank of second - in - command , Bordo nonetheless chafed under Rogg ' s leadership and grew resentful of his superior . At some point , Rogg had wished to abandon the Tusken tradition of the chief leading attacks from the front , instead proposing to bring up the rear . Bordo and two or three others cried out against this decision , and Bordo felt that his continued compliance to Rogg and the chief ' s self - important attitude was enough to choke a krayt dragon . Eventually , the Tuskens were sent to the moon Sulon . Jerec had tasked his forces with the raiding of a farm that belonged to Morgan Katarn , a man Jerec had previously murdered . Katarn ' s farm held a map to the mythical Valley of the Jedi embedded in its ceiling , which Jerec valued greatly . Grave Tuskens were stationed all about Katarn ' s home , as well as the nearby city Barons Hed . Eventually , Katarn ' s son , Kyle , returned to his home shortly after the map had been recovered by Imperial forces . Katarn was also looking for clues about the Valley of the Jedi , as well as information regarding his father ' s demise . Katarn found the family droid WeeGee , and the two alerted the Imperials with their activities , forcing them to flee down a bridge on a T - 4 speeder . With that , Bordo , Rogg , and a number of other swoop riding Tuskens gave chase to the fleeing son of a farmer . Kyle attempted to use a gun on the speeder to shoot at the Tuskens , and Rogg was nearly killed in an explosion . His survival , however , angered Bordo . Eventually , Bordo flew up on the T - 4 ' s left side and boarded alongside another Tusken . Finally , Bordo felt that it was time to usurp control of the gang from Rogg , and he shot the Tusken leader in the face , killing him . Meanwhile , the T - 4 ended up in the shadow of Kyle ' s starship , the " Moldy Crow " . As Kyle communicated with the pilot , Bordo and Kyle simultaneously raised their blasters at each other . However , the man , who was a fledgling Jedi himself , proved faster with the trigger than Bordo , and shot the Grave Tusken through the chest . Bordo died , and his body fell over the speeder ' s tailgate and onto the road . The second Tusken was also shot and killed by the Jedi . Kyle and WeeGee were extracted from the speeder by the ship , which then slammed into an Imperial blockade . Several of the other Tuskens , who had been going way to fast to slow down , also crashed into the blockade and were killed . Personality and traits . When Hett was unmasked by Kenobi after a fierce duel , many Tuskens abandoned their leader due to the shame associated with being unmasked . However , Bordo was one in a handful of Tuskens that continued to look up to Hett . Following Hoar , Bordo ran among the stars in search of Hett , but instead found a new master : the Dark Jedi Maw . Later yet , the Tusken Rogg came to act as the leader of the Tuskens under Maw . However , Bordo found Rogg ' s command to be a grating experience , and grew tired of his leader ' s command . When Rogg proposed to change an old Tusken tradition , Bordo spoke out against the change , and stopped Rogg from implementing it . Since Rogg wanted to lead his men from the rear , instead of the front , Bordo believed Rogg to be a coward . During the speeder chase on Sulon , Bordo became angry when Rogg survived a small explosion . By this point , three years of Rogg ' s command was enough . After boarding Kyle Katarn ' s speeder , Bordo ' s first order of business was to turn around and shoot his commander , and act that caused him to smile . Before moving on to engage Kyle , Bordo made sure that his murder was lost in the confusion of the chase . Equipment . Like the other Grave Tuskens , Bordo operated a swoop bike . The Grave Tuskens ' bikes normally stood vertically when not in motion . The bikes were equipped with blaster cannons . Bordo also carried a blaster on his person . Although many of the Grave Tuskens took to wearing masks that revealed their skin as an honor towards Hett , Bordo still covered his face in bandages . Behind the scenes . Bordo was created for the 1998 novella " " , written by William C . Dietz . Although the Tuskens in the novella are not named Grave Tuskens , the video game that the novella is based upon , " " , establishes the name of the Tusken group affiliated with the Empire . Bordo and the other Tuskens do not appear in the based on the novella . Bordo was later mentioned again in the second part of the Star Wars Blog article , " " , which explained the history of the Grave Tuskens .
