Grebleips/Legends

Senator Grebleips represented the planet Brodo Asogi in the Galactic Senate from some point prior to 33 BBY until shortly after the formation of the Galactic Empire. Shortly before the start of the Clone Wars, Grebleips funded an expedition to another galaxy. Grebleips was assisted by two aides of his species.

Near the end of the war, he was a signatory of the Petition of 2000. As such, following the founding of the Empire, he and several other senators (Fang Zar, Ivor Drake, Streamdrinker, Shea Sadashassa, and Tanner Cadaman) were group-arrested by ISB. Grebleips's subsequent fate is unknown.

Behind the scenes

 * Grebleips is an homage to the titular character of Steven Spielberg's movie, E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial.
 * "Grebleips" is "Spielberg" spelled backwards.
 * It is to be noted that Senator Grebleips sent an expedition to another galaxy. This may have been the Milky Way galaxy, which would have explained E.T., E.T. is quoted as being 3 million light years from home: the Milky Way galaxy is only 100,000 light years wide and its closest neighbor (Andromeda) is 2.5 million light years away, so his home planet (the Green Planet) is so far away that it has to be in another galaxy.
