- Lok Durd

Lok Durd was a corpulent Neimoidian Separatist General who served in the Clone Wars.

Biography


Durd was considered a power-crazed individual. He developed a defoliator weapon that would destroy all living matter, only leaving behind his own combat troops, the battle droids. His troops originally cheered, but when he told them he needed volunteers, the ranks quickly moved back, leaving two droids to be tested. The weapon wiped out all of the organic matter around the droids, but left them unharmed.

The first target of his devastating weapon was the planet Maridun, populated by the pacifist Lurmen and the violent Amanin. Lok said he chose the planet to test his weapon on because it was inhabited. He was opposed by the Jedi Aayla Secura, Anakin Skywalker and Ahsoka Tano, who had crashed on the planet. In the ensuring battle, he and his droid forces were defeated by the Jedi and the Lurmen. Durd was then captured.

Behind the scenes
In the series, Lok Durd is voiced by George Takei of Star Trek fame. Although his character is captured at the end of the episode, "Defenders of Peace", it appears that Lok Durd will be a recurring villain in the series based on the interviews with George Takei.
