Kazz Kazz was an admiral in the Galactic Empire . A Human male , he was in command of an " Imperial " - class Star Destroyer in 3 ABY that took the Argazdan known as Doctor Raygar to the Forest Moon of Endor , where the scientist hoped to find the Sunstar , a gem with magic al powers , for Emperor Palpatine . Despite Kazz ' s incredulity about the Sunstar ' s supposed powers or even existence , the venture was successful in that Raygar stole the Sunstar from its guardians , a group of Ewoks . Nevertheless , Raygar refused to show the gem to anyone but the Emperor , who was already on his way to the Endor system . When Raygar ' s droid servant , PD - 28 , arrived on the destroyer in an escape pod , Kazz dismissed the droid ' s claim that he had escaped capture by the Ewoks . Kazz ordered the droid to be recycled , not knowing that PD - 28 had smuggled a group of Ewoks onto the starship to recover their lost gem . As Kazz manned the Star Destroyer ' s command bridge , Raygar attempted to use the Sunstar ' s power to kill Palpatine aboard the Emperor ' s shuttle and take control of the Empire . However , the plot was thwarted by the Ewoks , who took the Sunstar and escaped from the destroyer back to Endor . Raygar ' s betrayal now revealed , Kazz had the academic arrested for high treason against the Empire . The admiral , who had not seen the Ewoks or the Sunstar , believed that Raygar had fabricated the story of the magical artifact as part of his treachery ; accordingly , the admiral handed the Argazdan over to the Emperor ' s custody for punishment . Biography . Admiral in the Empire . Kazz was a Human male who held the rank of admiral in the Navy of the Galactic Empire . In 3 ABY , Doctor Raygar , an Argazdan scientist affiliated with the Empire , sought to launch an expedition to the Forest Moon of Endor , where the Sunstar , a gem with supernatural powers , was rumored to be located . After the academic ' s planned mission gained the approval of Galactic Emperor Palpatine , Kazz , in command of an " Imperial " - class Star Destroyer , was assigned to escort Raygar to Endor . Highly skeptical about the very existence of the Sunstar and its supposed guardians , known as Ewoks , Kazz believed that Raygar ' s plan was just another foolish idea from the scholar , whom Kazz openly despised . Nonetheless , the admiral received Raygar aboard the Star Destroyer and brought him to the Endor system in the Outer Rim Territories . Mission to Endor . Kazz maintained his suspicion of Raygar and his mission up to the very moment the Argazdan scientist departed the Star Destroyer for the forest moon in his freighter with a team of large droids and a smaller droid servant , PD - 28 . Nevertheless , Raygar eventually returned to the Star Destroyer and claimed that his mission had proven a success , and refused to show the Sunstar to anyone but Palpatine himself . Kazz revealed the Emperor was already on his way to the Endor system to examine the artifact . Kazz next dealt with an Imperial escape pod that approached the destroyer from the moon . Its pilot identified himself as Raygar ' s droid , PD - 28 , who claimed that he was returning to serve his master . In truth , the droid had defected from the Empire and was now helping the Ewoks retrieve their stolen Sunstar . Unaware that the pod contained four Ewoks , Kazz allowed the pod to land in the destroyer ' s hangar . The small droid told Kazz that he had been captured by Ewoks and managed to escape with the pod — a falsehood . The admiral scolded the small droid for incompetence for being captured in the first place , and he ordered a larger droid to take PD - 28 to be recycled . The Emperor ' s arrival . Meanwhile , Doctor Raygar decided to assassinate Palpatine with the Sunstar ' s unlimited energy and take his place as the new Emperor . With the gem , he swiftly constructed a cannon that used the Sunstar as its power source . However , one of the Ewoks attacked Raygar , and during the scuffle , the Argazdan accidentally launched the cannon . The blast grazed Emperor Palpatine ' s shuttle , which was just landing in the destroyer . Kazz was appalled by the attack and ordered three stormtroopers to find and arrest the unknown assailant . The Ewoks were able to reclaim the Sunstar from Raygar and left the Star Destroyer in the same escape pod in which they had arrived . Raygar tried to give chase , but he was halted and arrested by the troopers Kazz had sent and was taken to the admiral , who waited in the hangar . Kazz charged the scholar with high treason against the Galactic Empire for his attempted assassination of the Emperor . Raygar ' s protests failed to sway the admiral , as Kazz had not witnessed the Ewoks aboard the ship , nor even seen the Sunstar ; Kazz concluded that the Sunstar had never existed , and that it had been nothing more than a part of Raygar ' s treacherous plot to kill the Emperor . As Palpatine ' s damaged shuttle landed in the hangar , Kazz turned his captive over to face the consequences of his treason . Personality and traits . As an admiral in the Imperial Navy , Kazz was loyal to Emperor Palpatine . He was shocked upon the discovery that Raygar was plotting to eliminate the Emperor , and he had the scientist arrested immediately . He took pleasure in informing Raygar about his impending punishment , and he ignored the academic ' s pleas for mercy . Kazz looked down upon those whose usefulness to the Empire he doubted . Kazz dismissed Doctor Raygar ' s mission for the Sunstar as fanciful , and he scolded the Argazdan about the frivolity of the plan . Similarly , when PD - 28 claimed he had been captured by Ewoks , Kazz believed that a proper Imperial droid would never have suffered such an fate ; accordingly , he called the droid useless and ordered him to be recycled into something more worthwhile . Kazz also questioned Endor ' s importance to the Empire , erroneously referring to the forest moon as a planet . Kazz was not a superstitious man . He believed the magical Sunstar was just a foolish idea of Raygar ' s imagination , even though the Emperor had approved the scientist ' s search for the gem . Kazz made his opinions clear to Raygar , and he warned the Argazdan of the fate that would befall him if the Sunstar ' s powers were exaggerated . After Raygar ' s plot to seize power failed , Kazz concluded that the gem had indeed been a hoax . Kazz had brown hair and black eyes . He wore an olive - gray Imperial military uniform and cap . The suit included his rank insignia , which consisted of two code cylinders and three blue squares above three red squares , a pattern that contrasted with the standard rank insignia of the Empire ' s other admirals . During his time in the Endor system , Kazz was often accompanied by an escort , which consisted of either Imperial stormtroopers or one of the large droids . Behind the scenes .
