Padmé Amidala, whom Yutsen interviewed
The Rodian Yutsen was a reporter who worked for TriNebulon News.[1] In approximately 21 BBY,[2] during the Clone Wars, the Gungan Jar Jar Binks spoke with Yutsen in order to gather information on traffic reports in the Outer Rim in the hopes of finding news relating to Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker for Binks' friend, Naboo Senator Padmé Amidala.[1]
Yutsen gave Binks the information on one condition—that Amidala would agree to an interview with TriNebulon News. During the interview, Yutsen questioned the Republic's commitment to a peace that benefited everybody in the galaxy, pointing out that no help had yet been given to the planet Rodia, which had been attacked by pirates. When Amidala revealed that she didn't know that Rodia had been attacked, Yutsen suggested that she was too preoccupied with her own affairs.[1]
Personality and traits[]
- "Surely you have heard of the terrible attacks that have befallen Rodia."
"No. That's awful, I had not heard. There has been so much transpiring that—"
"Preoccupied, Senator? Perhaps with your own agenda?" - ―Yutsen and Padmé Amidala, during the interview
Yutsen, a green-skinned Rodian, was a reporter for TriNebulon News, a media group that, according to Amidala, had a reputation for being "vultures." Yutsen manipulated Binks into arranging an interview for TriNebulon with Amidala—which Amidala did not want to attend. Later, during the interview, Yutsen confronted Amidala about the Republic's commitment to peace and suggested to the senator that she was too distracted by her own agenda.[1]
Equipment[]
While interviewing Amidala, the Rodian wore a long-sleeved black shirt with a light-blue vest on top.[1]
Behind the scenes[]
Yutsen appeared in The Clone Wars: Agenda, a six-page online comic in The Clone Wars web comic series, which led directly into "Destroy Malevolence," the fourth episode of Season One of the Star Wars: The Clone Wars television series.[3]
