Despite their acrimonious history with the Jedi, one Zygerrian male named Farzala Tarabal served as a Padawan of the Jedi Order during the High Republic Era. Another Zygerrian female named Tosan was a Jedi Master who served the Jedi Order and the Galactic Republic by the time following the Battle of Naboo.
"Slaves of the Republic" is the twelfth episode of the Star Wars: The Clone Wars television series' fourth season. This is the second episode in a three-part storyline about the slavers of Zygerria and the missing people of Kiros, which began with the previous episode "Kidnapped." It aired on December 2, 2011.
For thousands of years, Zygerria supplied slave labor the the galaxy; the Zygerrian Slave Empire became wealthy and powerful, as did those who exploited their chained subjects. After the Jedi Knights cracked down on the slave trade, Zygerria diminished.
Unfortunately, they weren't much good at preventing it. Despite slavery being outlawed officially, the trade of human lives persisted on remote planets outside of Republic influence, such as Tatooine. Slaves could be found within the Republic also, possessed by those who wielded enough wealth and influence.
Cassian Jeron Andor was born and named Kassa on the planet Kenari in 33 BBY in the later years of the Galactic Republic prior to the start of the Clone Wars.
The planet experienced success during the thousands of years the Zygerrians maintained their slave labor industry, but after the Jedi Order cracked down on the slaving operations, it faded from glory. The Old Republic Judicial Forces helped the Jedi to police Zygerria until its slave trade was destroyed.
Miraj Scintel was the queen of Zygerria and the Zygerrian Slave Empire during the Clone Wars. She imprisoned countless slaves, many of which were Togruta, Ahsoka Tano's species. She also seems to be somewhat in love with Anakin Skywalker.
At the point of Andor taking place, Anakin Skywalker is still Darth Vader, the right-hand man to Emperor Palpatine. At this point in the Star Wars timeline, Vader is mainly tracking down former Jedi with his Inquisitors as shown in Star Wars: Rebels which begins in the same year as Andor takes place.
Despite appearing in Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith as a member of the Jedi Council, Coleman Kcaj is one of Star Wars' most obscure Jedi. Very little has been revealed about this Ongree Jedi Master, though he appears as a background Council member in several scenes of The Clone Wars.
In the Disney+ series "Obi-Wan Kenobi," Kumail Nanjiani got to pretend to be a Jedi in a world in which they actually exist. Nanjiani played the role of Haja Estree, a con man who pretends to be a Jedi, using tricks and subterfuge to convince people that he is one with the Force in exchange for credits.
With the loss of Darth Maul, Darth Sidious took on a new apprentice: Count Dooku, former Jedi. Adopting the Sith name Darth Tyranus, Dooku became the face of the Separatist movement and pushed the galaxy into war.
To help Darth Maul track down the fugitive Queen Amidala from Naboo, he employed a number of spherical, single-eyed probe droids dispatched from the Sith Infiltrator. These floating globes hovered throughout Mos Espa, attempting to ferret out any signs of the Queen and her Jedi protectors.
The defeat of the Eternal Empire would ultimately lead to another war between the Republic and Empire. Eventually, the Empire fell like its predecessor, and its territory would be absorbed by the Galactic Republic, which was now the dominant superpower in the Galaxy.
Exegol (also spelled Ixigul in ancient texts) was a dark desert planet located within the Unknown Regions that, according to legend, was the hidden redoubt world of the Sith. It was the throneworld of the Sith Lord Darth Sidious and the Sith Eternal by 35 ABY.
Anakin, enraged by the Zygerrian slaver and harboring hatred for them due to his dark past with them as a child, went with Ahsoka where the two Jedi borded his ship. D'Nar then unleashed a "pet" he had to deal with them.
She is the Queen of the slave-holder race, the Zygerrians, and a pawn of Count Dooku, despite not counting herself as one. She seems to be somewhat in love with Anakin Skywalker. She was voiced by Rajia Baroudi, who also voiced Hexuba in Power Rangers: Lost Galaxy.
Bail Organa was present during the climactic end of Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith, and there can be no doubt he was aware of Darth Vader's true identity.
Despite his origins on the planet, Palpatine did not care at all for his homeworld and, following his death, Naboo was named a priority target for Operation: Cinder, a protocol that the Sith Lord had put in place to destroy Imperial worlds should they fail to protect their Emperor.
By Revenge of the Sith, Anakin had been a Knight for a while already and had taught his own Padawan, the fan-favorite Ahsoka Tano. In the end, all audiences received was a time jump where Anakin's maturity became clear through his confidence as a Jedi, both on and off the battlefield.
The couple was forced to take him away to save his life, and since then, he never saw his sister again. It was during another hopeless attempt to track her down that Cassian killed two guards, setting in motion a series of events that would lead to a broader movement against the Empire.
Andor tells the story of Cassian (Diego Luna) five years before the events of Rogue One. In doing so, the series serves as a link to Star Wars creations that do not primarily feature Jedi. Andor explores the rebellion in all its glory without Jedi/The Skywalker Saga as a central premise or even an on-screen presence.
