Biography . Savar , a Human male , worked as a captain in Galactic Alliance Security on the galactic capital of Coruscant . In 43 . 5 ABY , acting on orders from the Galactic Federation of Free Alliances government , Savar enlisted the assistance of three bounty hunters — Quarren inventor Dhidal Nyz , Human hunter Zilaash Kuh , and Skakoan hunter Hrym Mawarr . Savar led the hunters and a GA Security team to arrest Jedi Grand Master Luke Skywalker for failing to prevent Jedi Knight - turned - Sith Lord Darth Caedus ' s fall to the dark side of the Force . During the arrest , Skywalker , who was accompanied by several other Jedi as well as ex - smuggler Han Solo , did not cooperate precisely to Savar ' s specifications , handing his lightsaber to Jedi Knight Leia Organa Solo instead of turning it over to the Security troops . Han Solo insulted Savar as tensions rose , and and Savar stiffened . Nyz , assuming that Skywalker was attempting to use the Force on Savar , exclaimed that Skywalker was resisting the arrest . One of Savar ' s troopers , Bessen , panicked and opened fire . The shot missed , and Jedi Master Kam Solusar deflected it with his lightsaber . Solo shot Bessen ' s blaster , destroying it , and the situation was brought back under control . Savar devised a punishment for Bessen , ordering the man to perform calisthenics and run back to the barracks , and then led Skywalker to the Galactic Alliance Security blockhouse . Savar felt sympathy for Skywalker , and though he never gave anyone any reason to believe that he did not approve of Chief of State Natasi Daala ' s decision to arrest the Grand Master , Skywalker felt Savar ' s regret through the Force . Savar later led the Security forces sent by Daala to capture Jedi Knight Valin Horn , who had gone on a destructive rampage through Coruscant after suffering a psychotic breakdown . Horn was caught by Luke Skywalker , who had been released from the blockhouse . Savar ordered that Skywalker hand Horn over to Security forces , but Skywalker suggested that Horn be taken to the Jedi Temple and studied there . Leia Organa Solo eventually proposed a compromise that both Skywalker and Savar agreed to : Horn was placed in the Mon Mothma Memorial Medical Center , a secure facility located about halfway between the Jedi Temple and the Senate Building . They agreed that Horn was set to be studied by six Jedi and six Security agents , and no bounty hunters or press were to be allowed access to the facility . Personality and traits . Captain Savar was a firm and imposing officer , and exerted his authority over his subordinates . He expected each of his troops to operate efficiently and follow his orders , and when they did not , he was often rather harsh in punishment . Savar also expressed a general dislike for dealing with bounty hunters . Skywalker felt through the Force that Savar regretted his order to arrest the Grand Master , but Savar never showed it physically ; his first loyalty was to duty and following the orders he was given . After Horn ' s capture , Savar also showed that he was open to compromise ; though at first he demanded that Horn be handed over to the Security troops , he later agreed to Leia Organa Solo ' s proposal that Horn be put in the Mon Mothma Memorial Medical Center , a secure facility about halfway between Jedi and Security jurisdictions . He was considered by many to be an intelligent leader , although his fellow Security captain , Oric Harfard , believed he was soft . Behind the scenes . Savar was created by " Star Wars " author Aaron Allston for his first novel in the nine - part " " series , " " , released on March 24 , 2009 .
