Janyor

"Reminds me of Janyor's protest paintings on Bith.''" "''Janyor of Bith is a major influence."

- Lando Calrissian and Sabine Wren discuss Janyor's influence on the latter's art

Janyor was a notorious rebel artist from Bith who created a statue on the planet Garel that the Galactic Empire regarded as "controversial" and an "eyesore," and when they destroyed it, a small dissident group staged an impromptu protest that was quickly quelled by local authorities. According to HoloNet News anchor Alton Kastle, the official reason behind the statue's destruction was because it fell under scrutiny by the Coalition for Progress division of COMPNOR after it had fallen into disrepair and became an issue of public safety. Sabine Wren credited Janyor's protest paintings on Bith as major influences and inspirations on her artwork and desired to recreate one of their canvases as a moss painting.
