Beldorion Beldorion was a Hutt Jedi Knight serving the Jedi Order and the Galactic Republic roughly four hundred years before the founding of the Galactic Empire . After being sent to Nam Chorios , he fell to the dark side and established himself as the ruler of the planet . He was killed in a lightsaber duel with Leia Organa Solo in 13 ABY . Biography . Discovered by the Jedi Order before 400 BBY , records indicate that Beldorion was the only known Hutt to enter into the Order . He was trained at the Jedi Temple on Coruscant . During his training , he and other Jedi Initiates were taken to the Caves of Masposhani , where they ran races , and too dark worlds like Af ' El and Y ' nybeth to hone their Force sense . Beldorion graduated from the academy and was taken as a Padawan by a Jedi Master . Following years of travel and study , Beldorion passed his Trials of Knighthood and was elevated to the rank of Jedi Knight . Taking on missions from the Jedi High Council , Beldorion was dispatched to Nam Chorios with fellow Knight Taselda in 400 BBY . While on the planet the two Jedi Knights failed to complete their mission when they fell to the lure of the dark side of the Force and abandoned the Order . Beldorion cast aside Taselda as the weaker half of the team and established himself as the ruler of the world . Providing his subjects with honorifics which he should be addressed by such as " Beldorion of the Ruby Eyes " and " Beldorion the Splendid , " Beldorion was corrupt and enslaved many . While originally prepared as Beldorion ' s meal , the Droch known as Dzym came to conspire with the Hutt , helping the Dark Jedi remain strong and youthful in exchange for the freedom to access the planet ' s rare Tsil stones . Avoiding the Great Jedi Purge , it wasn ' t until 13 ABY that Beldorion ' s relatively unopposed rule was disrupted by the arrival of Jedi Callista Ming . While she was unsuccessful in getting to the Hutt and imprisoned , her disappearance drew the attention of additional Jedi : Luke Skywalker , the founder of the rebuilt Order , and his twin sister , Leia Organa . Like Ming , Organa was also captured by the Hutt who divulged stories from the past , recalling the histories of Jedi Masters Thon and Yoda . During her captivity , Organa was able to regain possession of her lightsaber and engage her captor in a duel . Though the centuries - old Dark Jedi was powerful , Organa was able to move more freely and bisected the Hutt at the mid - section . Powers and abilities . Beldorion was somewhat adept in the Force , though by the time Leia Organa Solo encountered him in 13 ABY , his strength had greatly decayed as a result of centuries of Dzym feeding off his energy . Nevertheless , he was still powerful enough to generate huge Force storms . Additionally , he was able to use Telekinesis to summon a glass , though when he attempted the same feat with a tray he was unsuccessful . When angered by his servant , Liegeus Vorn , he would occasionally use the Force to inflict painful migraines as punishment . Beldorion had some skill using Force persuasion , and his gaze was considered by some to be hypnotic . However , he failed to use this power to influence Leia Organa Solo , who was only marginally trained in the Force and was drugged at the time . Unlike most Hutts , Beldorion used the Force to maintain a muscular form , allowing him to retain his prowess with a lightsaber after several centuries of life . Having crafted a lightsaber with a purple blade , Beldorion would change the trajectory of his lightsaber strikes in a battle , demonstrating some attributes of the seventh form of lightsaber combat . Additionally , his immense strength enabled him to swing his blade with a massive force nearly sufficient to break the wrists of a Human . However , his skills with a lightsaber were not sufficient to defeat Leia Organa Solo , who killed him at the conclusion of their brief duel . Behind the scenes . In " The New Essential Chronology " , " The New Essential Guide to Characters " , " Balance Point " , " Planet of Twilight " , and " Conviction " his name is erroneously spelled Beldorian .
