Orn Free Taa

Orn Free Taa is a fictional character from Star Wars who was first introduced in the Prequel Trilogy. He is an overweight male Rutian Twi'lek politician who represented his homeworld of Ryloth in both the Senates of the Galactic Republic and of its successor state, the Galactic Empire. Taa was unpopular on Ryloth, as he was content with amassing wealth for himself on Coruscant. During the Separatist Crisis, he joined the Loyalist Committee, which supported the Republic's leader, Supreme Chancellor Palpatine, against the growing threat of Count Dooku's Confederacy of Independent Systems. After the Clone Wars, Taa retained his position in the Imperial Senate; while he kept his treasured wealth, Taa was little more than a puppet for the Galactic Empire. He conspired with Imperial Vice Admiral Rampart to discredit Twi'lek freedom fighter Cham Syndulla, though he was almost killed in the process. He worked with Moff Delian Mors and Darth Vader in trying to suppress Syndulla's Free Ryloth Movement, though these efforts were unsuccessful.
