- ―Rey's mother is questioned by Ochi as Dered Karno watches
Dered Karno was an alien mercenary who, alongside Ommo Twilto,[1] worked as enforcers for the Sith assassin Ochi of Bestoon, a member of the Sith Eternal.[2] Around 21 ABY,[3] Karno and Twilto were in[2] the passenger compartment of Ochi's starship, Bestoon Legacy[4] as Ochi questioned the parents of Rey, whom he had been sent to find by the Sith Lord Darth Sidious. Karno stood with an electroprod staff braced[2] as Ochi killed Rey's parents[4] with his dagger after Rey's mother claimed that Rey was no longer on the planet Jakku and that Ochi would not find her.[2]
Karno wore a dark red shirt with a brown belt, pants, gloves and boots as well as a gray helmet and armor made of plastoid tiles wrapped in leather padding. The alien had brown skin and black eyes and black, braided hair.[1]
Behind the scenes[]
- "Everything about this photo and these characters makes completing this trilogy worthwhile. Beginning to end."
- ―Derek Arnold on Dered Karno and Ommo Twilto
Dered Karno was created for the 2019 sequel trilogy film, Star Wars: Episode IX The Rise of Skywalker,[2] and was first identified in the accompanying reference book Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker: The Visual Dictionary, which was written by Pablo Hidalgo. The book includes Karno in a section on the planet Pasaana,[1] although the character is not present in any scenes on the planet in the film.[2] Karno's name is a partial anagram of the name of actor Derek Arnold, who portrayed Karno in the film and referred to the character as Dovine on set.[5] Arnold stated that everything about Twilto and Karno and their appearance in The Visual Dictionary made completing the sequel trilogy worthwhile.[6]
