- "What is Lord Vader's interest in this Jedi?
We thought it might be Skywalker, but he won't talk. I'm sure Vader will find the truth." - ―A spacer and an unidentified Imperial commander
This male Human Jedi prisoner was a Jedi who aided the Rebellion during the Galactic Civil War.
Biography[]
The Jedi was one of the few of his kind to survive Order 66. However, after the Battle of Yavin, he was captured and imprisoned by the Galactic Empire.[1]
In 1 ABY,[2] during the Empire Day festivities, he was held at Outpost GRF-7493 on Yavin 4 by an Imperial commander, Lord Vader and a number of other Imperials. He was kept alive, so that he could be interrogated for important information concerning the Rebellion.[1]
The Imperial commander had an Imperial spacer interrogate the Jedi. The Imperial knew that the Jedi would not give in to direct threats, so he took another approach; he convinced the Jedi that he was in fact sent by Leia to rescue him, and to tell him to abort the mission. The Imperial gained the Jedi's trust, so he divulged the information that the Empire was looking for.[1]
Personality and traits[]
The Jedi prisoner was a stubborn individual, completely loyal to the Rebellion. However, he was too trusting, which proved to be his downfall during his interrogation.[1]
Behind the scenes[]
A Jedi prisoner, who lacked an official name, appeared as a non-player character in the 2003 video game Star Wars Galaxies, a massively multiplayer online roleplaying game developed by Sony Online Entertainment and published by LucasArts,[1] prior to its closure on December 15, 2011.[3] The Jedi prisoner was added to the game upon the release of the "Publish 19," on June 29, 2005.[4] During the 2005 Empire Day live event from June 29 to July 11, 2005,[5] he could be found at an outpost on Yavin 4 and was part of a quest titled "Happy Empire Day!." Imperial players had to interrogate the Jedi for information. Only by tricking him into believing that the Imperial was in fact a Rebel operative, would the Jedi be willing to divulge information. If the Imperial chose to be forceful or rude to the Jedi, the latter would cease talking, and the player could not complete the quest.[1] After the live event ended, the Jedi prisoner never reappeared in the game since the Empire Day event was discontinued until its complete overhaul in 2008.[6]

Star Wars Galaxies: The Total Experience — Imperial Quest: "Happy Empire Day!" on Talus
- ↑ The opening crawl of Star Wars Galaxies dates the game to after the events of Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope, and additionally, Serji-X Arrogantus, who died in Star Wars (1977) 10—the events of which The New Essential Chronology dates to 0 ABY—appears in the game. Therefore, at least a portion of Star Wars Galaxies must be set in that year. Furthermore, in the game Ruwan Tokai references the destruction of the Death Star as having occurred one year earlier, and Strongholds of Resistance also places the events of Galaxies' Chapter 9: "The Fury of Exar Kun" in 1 ABY. Lastly, while Chapter 11: "The Battle of Echo Base" features the Battle of Hoth—dated to 3 ABY by The New Essential Chronology—the developers have stated that the portrayal of that battle in the game is intentionally anachronistic. Therefore, the events of Star Wars Galaxies must span from 0 ABY to around 1 ABY.
