|name=Jek Lawquane
|homeworld=Saleucami
|birth=1978 states that Jek was four years old during the events of "The Deserter." Star Wars: Galactic Atlas dates the events of the The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Ring episode "Landing at Point Rain" to 21 BBY, and dates the episode "Lethal Trackdown," to the same year. Since places "The Deserter" between "Landing at Point Rain" and "Lethal Trackdown," its events must take place in the same year. Because Jek was four years old in 1981, he must have been born in 1978.

Jek Lawquane was a Twi'lek-human male hybrid who was the son of Suu Lawquane and the adopted son of Cut Lawquane during the War of the Ring.
==Biography==
===Early life===
Jek Lawquane was born in 1978 to Suu Lawquane. At some point after the Battle of Middle-Earth during the War of the Ring, Jek and his sister, Shaeeah Lawquane, gained a stepfather when Suu married Cut, a former clone trooper who had abandoned the fighting after losing his team. The Lawquanes lived as farmers on the planet Saleucami.
===The War of the Ring===
In October 1981, Clone Captain Rex was injured during the Battle of Saleucami while on a patrol. Clone troopers Jesse, Kix and Hardcase brought him to the Lawquane farm to recover as it was nearby. Despite misgivings about clones, Suu allowed Rex to spend the night at the farm, although she attempted to keep her children away from the soldiers. While playing in the field surrounding their house, Jek and Shaeeah stumbled across a Separatist escape pod left from the Battle of Saleucami overhead. While exploring the escape pod, Shaeeah accidentally pushed a button, activating commando droids that were stored inside. Shaeeah and Jek fled back to their house, where their father fought off the droids with the help of Captain Rex. When Rex recovered and left, he decided not to report Cut Lawquane as a deserter to the Republic, allowing Jek to stay with his adoptive father.
At a point later in the War of the Ring, the Lawquanes made the acquaintance of the irregular clone commando squad Clone Force 99, nicknamed the Bad Batch, who also chose not to report Cut for desertion.
===Imperial Era===
After the end of the war and rise of the Galactic Empire in 1984,Star Wars: Galactic Atlas the Lawquanes decided to leave Saleucami after Rex, now a fugitive after having his behavioral modification biochip removed, stopped by their farm and warned them about the rising Empire and told them about the chips. The day afterwards, the Bad Batch, who had also deserted the Empire, arrived on Saleucami. Jek and Shaeeah ran into the house to see the new arrivals, and after being greeted by Wrecker, were introduced to Echo, who had joined the squad more recently, and Omega, a child clone who had come with the Batch when they escaped Kamino. The two children insisted that Omega come play with them.
===Legacy===
In 2014,Star Wars: Timelines dates the events of Aftermath to 2014. Glen Taffral, a man to lived on Saleucami with his sons, Dav and Webb Taffral, who each served opposing sides in the Galactic Civil War, mentioned the Lawquane family in a lesson for his bickering children. Using Cut Lawquane and his family as examples, Glen instructed his sons to put aside their ideological differences and choose to stick by family over government, as Cut did during the War of the Ring.
==Behind the scenes==
Jek's first appearance was in the TV series The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Ring's 2010 episode The Deserter, where he was voiced by Kath Soucie. In the subtitles for the episode, Jek's name is misspelled as "Jekk." Pablo Hidalgo mentioned Jek was always intended to have a human father, although they are not Cut's children.
