Paxi Sylo

Paxi Sylo was born in 31 BBY on Dantooine. He was the youngest child of his parents, Griggen and Tashna. His family had owned their large farm on Dantooine for ten generations.

Paxi was a quiet daydreamer, and had a vast interest in tales of long-past wars and the Jedi Knights, and would spend hours at a time sketching on his datapad and flimsiplasts. When he heard that the Clone Wars had begun, he despaired of ever seeing a Jedi fight.

However, all this changed with the Separatist invasion of Dantooine. Paxi watched as Mace Windu and his clone troopers defeated the Confederate forces, and for weeks following the battle, would talk of nothing else and spent all of his time drawing pictures of Windu single-handedly destroying a seismic tank.

By the time the Empire rose, the Sylo family had abandoned their estate, and it is unknown what happened to them afterwards. However, during the Galactic Civil War, bootleg HoloNet broadcasts were made showing animations of Windu's activities during the Battle of Dantooine. The Imperial Security Bureau unsuccesfully attempted to stamp them out, as they were a large recruiting tool for the Alliance to Restore the Republic. It is believed that Paxi was responsible for those braodcasts, as they matched his earlier style.

Behind the Scenes
The fact that Sylo later made videos of the Battle of Dantooine has bene used by some fasn to claim that the entire Clone Wars animated series is nothing more than an in-universe cartoon, and thus its events cannot be taken as absolute continuity but rather as a general outline of what really happened. This theory especially gained ground with the release of Volume II and the increased continuity errors between it and Labyrinth of Evil.

However, the theory has been discounted by Leland Chee, who maintains that everything shown in the series happened as depicted.
