Jaahn Liddle

"I bet it was incredible! Blasting away at all those stormtroopers! Pow! Pow! Line 'em up and take 'em down!"

- Jaahn Liddle talks excitedly about Luke Skywalker's past exploits

Jaahn Liddle was a human male who joined the Rebel Alliance after they rescued him from Imperial imprisonment on Oreenda Fayeet. Not long after joining the Alliance, Liddle traveled to the planet Tibrin as part of a diplomatic mission with fellow Rebels Luke Skywalker, Leia Organa and Tadd. Liddle was extremely excited to meet Skywalker due to his exploits during the Battle of Yavin, and on Tibrin he and Tadd questioned Skywalker about his work with the Alliance, drawing the attention of a KX-series security droid. This led to an Imperial attack on the Rebels in which Liddle was injured and Skywalker captured.

The human male Jahn Liddle at some point became addicted to spice and was imprisoned by the Galactic Empire on Oreenda Fayeet. The Rebel Alliance then freed him from imprisonment, after which he quickly joined their cause. Not long after he joined the Alliance, Liddle had kicked his spice addiction and was sent on an important mission to the planet Tibrin with the Jedi Knight Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia Organa and his colleague Tadd.

Skywalker, Tadd and Liddle piloted the starship Breha together in order to reach the planet, and as they approached Tibrin, Skywalker ordered Liddle to set up an orbit pattern. Despite the Imperial presence on Tibirin, the ship was cleared to land, causing Liddle and Tadd to theorize that the Empire was trying to recover from the Battle of Yavin, where Skywalker had destroyed the Imperial Death Star superweapon.

- Tadd and Liddle are caught by suprise by the Imperial attack

Upon setting down on an ocean landing pad in Tibrin's capital city, the four Rebels disembarked together and while Organa greeted the Ishi Tib Mariod Govi, Liddle and Tadd questioned Skywalker about his past exploits in service of the Rebellion. The duo were overheard speaking about Rebel activity by an Imperial KX-series security droid, triggering an almost immediate attack on the Rebels by Imperial stormtroopers firing from a neighboring landing pad.

During the fighting, Liddle was knocked to the floor and injured by the stormtroopers fire. On Organa's orders, Tadd then tried to throw a grenade at the Imperials, but was struck by a blaster bolt mid-throw and so dropped the explosive. The grenade the rolled toward Skywalker and exploded, knocking the Jedi unconscious and causing the platform that Organa, Tadd, Liddle and the Breha were stood on to sink into Tibrin's oceans. Organa managed to climb aboard the pad that the the Imperials had been standing on and witnessed them capture an unconscious Skywalker.
