Aang / Legends Senator Aang was a Roonan male who served in the Senate of the Galactic Republic during the Clone Wars . A highly particular Roonan , Aang was an important member of the Senate Military Oversight Committee , and his vote was recruited by Senator Padmé Amidala during her campaign to curb the Republic ' s spending on the Grand Army of the Republic ' s war effort . Ultimately , however , Amidala ' s efforts failed , and the Senate instead voted to increase military spending to fund the production of five million additional clone troopers . Biography . The Roonan male Aang lived during the last decades of the Galactic Republic ' s rule . A politician , he became a senator of the Republic Senate , which was based on the galactic capital , Coruscant . He eventually attained a seat on the Senate Military Oversight Committee , a bureau affiliated with the operations of the Republic Military . By the time of the Clone Wars , his vote on the committee was considered to be decisive . In 21 BBY , the war ' s second year , Senator Padmé Amidala began a campaign to reduce the Republic ' s spending on the war effort against the separatist Confederacy of Independent Systems . She thus tried to persuade Aang to vote with her coalition , given his prominence on the Military Oversight Committee . As part of her negotiations with the Roonan , Amidala hosted a state banquet — one that was said to be the most important party of the season — in his honor at her apartment on Coruscant . The event also served as a celebration for the Roonan ' s birthday . Aang attended the event alongside Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker and fellow senators Jakker - Sun , Kin Robb , Bail Prestor Organa , Mon Mothma , and Dantum Roohd . At the banquet , Amidala made sure to serve Aang ' s favorite dessert , Jogan fruit cake , despite the rarity of fresh Jogan fruit on Coruscant . Aang thereafter agreed to sign a treaty and support her campaign , leading a toast in honor of his decision . Aang was later present in the Senate when Senator Gume Saam proposed a measure for the deregulation of the InterGalactic Banking Clan to gain access to funds for the war effort . Despite Amidala ' s efforts to establish peace negotiations with the Separatist Parliament , the Senate ultimately voted in favor of Saam ' s bill in light of a Separatist attack on Coruscant ' s power generator . Even with Aang ' s support , Amidala ' s initiative to reduce military spending soon suffered a similar end , with the Senate rejecting it and instead electing to fund the production of five million additional clone troopers for the Grand Army of the Republic . Personality and traits . A Roonan male , Aang had blue eyes and gray skin . Like most members of his species , he was very particular , and he sometimes mistook the slightest mistake on another ' s part for a deep insult . An influential senator of the Republic during the Clone Wars , he came to hold a decisive vote on the Senate Military Oversight Committee . Even though fresh Jogan fruit was hard to come by on Coruscant , he greatly enjoyed Jogan fruit cake as a dessert , to the point that Padmé Amidala was able to win his support for her military spending reduction measure by serving the dish at a state banquet celebrating his birthday . Aang ' s favorite color was red , and he often wore a suit of red with black boots to official proceedings affiliated with the Galactic Senate . His high particularity caused Amidala to go to considerable lengths to entertain him ; she even chose to wear a red dress at the banquet to please him with his favorite color . Behind the scenes .
