Toonbuck Toora/Legends

Toonbuck Toora was the Senator of Sy Myrth in the Galactic Senate of the Galactic Republic. She was known to be a political opponent of Supreme Chancellor Palpatine.

Biography


Toora was once an idealist and entered the Senate with the goal of weeding out corruption. As her task stretched on and on, Toora's idealism left her until, jaded and cynical, she embraced the culture of greed that so many others did. She became one of the most corrupt Republic politicians.

During the crisis on Naboo, Toora sided with the Trade Federation. In addition, she was a known vocal critic of the Republic's attempts to regulate the Commerce Guild's operations in the Outer Rim Territories. During the time of the Naboo crisis, she was aided by her consort.

Later, Toora seceded Sy Myrth from the Republic prior to the outbreak of the Clone Wars, possibly joining Count Dooku's Separatist movement.

Behind the scenes
Toonbuck Toora was performed by special effects artist Hilton Howson.

Toora was supposed to be in the Separatist war room scene on Geonosis in Attack of the Clones, but was digitally replaced by Rogwa Wodrata because George Lucas was unsatisfied with Toora's mask. She is still present in the novelization and the comic of Attack of the Clones.

The name is a variation of Tombuctu (tombuc-tu ra), spanish translation of Timbuktu, a city near the Niger River in the west African country of Mali.
