The old Star Wars Expanded Universe was home to some beloved characters — Mara Jade , Grand Admiral Thrawn , Quinlan Vos , the list goes on . But no other character stands as a testament to the see-through joy of the EU than Hoar . Not familiar with him ? Well , we ’re here to help , with a rundown of the aliveness and times of this iconic character . Without make fun of his silly name .
Hoar Wasn’t His Full Name
really , okay , we are going to make play of the name , after all . In an attempt to cover the fact that in his inaugural visual aspect in the Star Wars canon , the phenomenally bad Playstation fighting game Star Wars : Masters of Teras Kasi , Hoar was call , well , Hoar , the part ’s full Tusken name was reveal in later canyon material as KkH’Oar’Rrhr . Significantly harder to say , but admittedly a lot less rude - fathom . in earnest , say his name out aloud , and you ’ll see why they changed it .
He’s the Sole Survivor of Anakin Skywalker’s Tusken Temper Tantrum
The Rrhr clan was the group of Tusken Raiders that kidnapped Shmi Skywalker during the events of Attack of the Clones — which , as we all know , led to her death , and then the kin group ’s last at the hands of her son Anakin , who slaughtered every human , char and tiddler in the small town … except for Hoar , who was away from the Greenwich Village at the time , bonding with his Bantha so he could become an good rider .
Upon render to find his citizenry slaughtered , Hoar became dispirited , and look for out other Tuskens to take him in — he was finally take in by the clan ofA’Sharad Hett , another prominent Tusken in the spread out Universe who was once a Jedi Knight during the last days of the Republic , and eventually became the Sith Lord Darth Krayt … for reasons intimately not discussed here .
He’s Force Sensitive
Before Hoar joined Hett ’s clan however , he just so happen to raid the dwellings of Obi - Wan Kenobi , and came across Anakin ’s old lightsaber — the effect of which exploit into his latent Force sensitiveness and gave him a vision of the “ Demon Outlander ” who had mow down his village . Eventually , Hett find this sensitivity and consume Hoar as his learner in the Force , training him with the traditional Tusken Gaderffi stick and instruct him how to transport his Force powers into every strike — the ancient art of Teras Kasi .
After Hett was kill in a affaire d’honneur by Obi - Wan and shamed by his fellow Tuskens , Hoar take out into the galaxy with a few faithful followers , and was eventually turned to the Dark Side by a dour Jedi named Maw , and task with raid ancient Jedi temple for cognition and power .
He Beat Luke Skywalker In a Fight, But Let Him Live
That pillaging spark advance to Hoar working with the Emperor ’s Hand Arden Lyn , herself a master of Teras Kasi . The two duelled at first , but after Lyn defeated Hoar , she decided coach him and meliorate his fighting attainment — and in the process , taught him to detest Luke Skywalker , whom Hoar recognized as appear eerily standardized to the “ Demon Outlander ” from his vision .
Hoar actually test to contend Luke multiple clip out of payback , but was disgust by — I shit you not — the phantasmal flavor of Obi - Wan Kenobi , who was presumptively hella pissed at Hoar for breaking into his mansion . Hoar and Lyn finally encountered Darth Vader , whom , of course , Hoar also recognised from his vision somehow , leading him to ponder whether :
Luke was on the Q.T. Vader
There were two “ Demon Outlanders ”
He was hold out mad
He apparently adjudicate to neglect all three options . He dueled Luke once and for all — and bring home the bacon , but had a last mo modification of heart , tend off on his own to hunt down Vader and gain the vengeance he sought .
He Might Have Died Fighting Darth Vader
Years by and by , Hoar eventually cornered Vader on the planet Shumari , ready to take vengeance on the man who had murdered his clan , once and for all . Hoar about bested Vader — only to be trim back down by an acolyte of Vader ’s namedTao , who succumbed to wound sustained from his fight with Hoar . Oh by the way , Tao , in his dying tidings , begged Vader to deform to the tripping side of the Force , apparently having such an impact on the Sith Lord that he began formulate his design to overthrow the Emperor , with his Word at his side .
Or maybe not — all this happened inStar Wars Manga : Black , which was declared non - canon even by the older Expanded Universe ’s standard . So who eff what happen to this most noble of Force - sensitive Tuskens after the events of Masters of Teras Kasi ?
Okay , so perhaps we ’re joking just a small bit about him being the great character in the old EU . In fact , Hoar represents some of the worst pitfall that the previous Expanded Universe , and arguably the Prequels to a certain extent , on a regular basis fall down into : like making everyone and their uncle ( or aunty ) force-out - sensitive , or puddle the galaxy far far away so much smaller by connect every peanut quality into the major events of the motion picture , or by having said character meet up with the heroes and villains we know and get laid for no particular cause , and prove that they ’re effective than them somehow .
And yet , Hoar also represents the joy of the old EU — shining a igniter on the tiniest spaces in the Star Wars galaxy , and establish them a life and lineament . The universe that inspired people to look at a humans run around Cloud City in Empire Strikes Back with an ice emollient machine , andtransform him into a Rebel poor boy . Only Star Wars could urge on such allegiance .
