[[Sexes|He]], like many other Hutts, controlled a vast criminal network of various criminals such as [[bounty hunter]]s, smugglers, and [[Thief|thieves]]. As such, Grakkus became extremely wealthy and powerful. Grakkus, unlike most other Hutts, used his influence and fortune to procure antiques, particularly artifacts relating to the [[Jedi Order]].<ref name="Star Wars 9" /> The Empire had [[Jedi Purge|purged]] the Jedi from [[the galaxy]] during its [[Proclamation of the New Order|inception]], and destroyed nearly all of the Order's records and artifacts relating to the peacekeeping [[Jedi Knight|Knights]].<ref name="Episode III">[[Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith|''Star Wars'': Episode III ''Revenge of the Sith'']]</ref> Over the [[Standard year|years]], Grakkus came to control [[Hutta Town]], a section of Nar Shaddaa's [[City|unending city]]. Within Hutta Town, [[Palace of Grakkus the Hutt|Grakkus's palace]] was located, which was where he stored his collection of Jedi artifacts, such as Jedi [[lightsaber]]s, statues, [[holocron]]s, a [[Delta-7B Aethersprite-class light interceptor|Delta-7B ''Aethersprite''-class light interceptor]],<ref name="Star Wars 9" /> and even the [[bone]]s of several deceased Jedi Knights.<ref name="Star Wars 11">[[Star Wars (2015) 11|''Star Wars 11'']]</ref> By the [[time]] of the [[Galactic Civil War]], Grakkus considered his collection to be all that remained of the Jedi.<ref name="Star Wars 9" /> Also during that time, Grakkus hired the [[Kreel|Gamemaster]], a [[Color|red]]-skinned [[humanoid]], to train the [[gladiator]]s that fought in the Hutt's arena.<ref name="Star Wars 10">[[Star Wars (2015) 10|''Star Wars 10'']]</ref> Unknown to Grakkus, the Gamemaster was actually [[Sergeant]] Kreel of the [[Imperial Military]], who had been dispatched by the [[Sith Lord]] [[Anakin Skywalker|Darth Vader]] to infiltrate Grakkus's palace to look for Jedi prospects so Vader could destroy them; further erasing the Jedi from the [[galaxy]].<ref name="Star Wars 12">[[Star Wars (2015) 12|Star Wars 12]]</ref> During that time, some [[Standard week|weeks]] after the [[Battle of Yavin]],<ref name="Vader 7 says a thing">In ''[[Darth Vader 7]]'', [[Chelli Lona Aphra]] says "It's been dead for weeks." As [[Star Wars (2015) 9|''Star Wars 9'']] takes place almost concurrently with ''[[Darth Vader 7]]'', we can deduce that the cited time span take place several weeks after the [[Battle of Yavin]].</ref> [[Luke Skywalker]], a secret Jedi Padawan, traveled to Nar Shaddaa in order to seek charter to the [[Imperial Palace|Jedi Temple]] on the Empire's [[capital]] [[planet]] of [[Coruscant]]. Unknown to Skywalker,<ref name="Star Wars 10" /> the [[Jedi temple|temple]] had been transformed by [[Galactic Emperor]] [[Darth Sidious|Sheev Palpatine]] into his personal palace.<ref name="Tarkin">[[Tarkin (novel)|''Tarkin'']]</ref> Skywalker possessed [[Skywalker's lightsaber|a lightsaber]] that he was forced to reveal when he was attacked in a [[Unidentified bar (Nar Shaddaa)|cantina]],<ref name="Star Wars 8">[[Star Wars (2015) 8|''Star Wars 8'']]</ref> an act that was witnessed by one of Grakkus's [[Unidentified lightsaber thief (Nar Shaddaa)|agents]]. On Grakkus' behalf, the being stole the lightsaber and led Skywalker on a chase into Hutta Town.<ref name="Star Wars 9" /> [[File:Grakkus punches Luke.jpg|thumb|right|270px|Grakkus prepares to knock Skywalker unconscious.]] A short time later, the [[agent]] succeeded in his task and he and Skywalker crashed down into Hutta Town, where Grakkus confronted the young [[human]], telling him that he owned Skywalker and his weapon because they were in an area of the moon that Grakkus controlled. Skywalker prepared to fight back against the Hutt, so Grakkus set a pair of his antique [[Holowan Laboratories]] [[IG-100 MagnaGuard]]s that were used by the [[Confederacy of Independent Systems]] during the [[Clone Wars]] two [[Standard decade|decades]] earlier to combat Jedi, to challenge him with their [[electrostaff]]s. The [[battle droid]]s greatly weakened Skywalker, but Skywalker adamantly refused to surrender, so Grakkus knocked him unconscious and dragged him to his collection room.<ref name="Star Wars 9" /> Grakkus woke Skywalker and told him to open a [[Jedi holocron|holocron]] using [[the Force]] or be [[Death|killed]]. Skywalker was awed by the Hutt's collection, but insisted that he knew not how to activate the holocron because he had never seen one before. Skywalker did manage to awaken the device and at least twenty-three others spread throughout the chamber by concentrating on the Force. [[Jedi Master]]s from [[millennium]]s passed appeared from the holocrons, offering their knowledge to the individual who had activated them. Grakkus was very pleased with Skywalker's performance—believing him the last Jedi in the galaxy, and was pleased that Skywalker was under his control.<ref name="Star Wars 9" /> [[File:Kongo Grakkus and Kreel.jpg|thumb|left|260px|Grakkus introduces the Gamemaster to Kongo the Disemboweler.]] Grakkus then turned Skywalker over to the Gamemaster so he could be trained to fight to the death in Grakkus's arena. A short while later, Grakkus checked on Skywalker's improvement with the Gamemaster. The Gamemaster assured the Hutt that the boy would be ready to fight and die in the arena. Grakkus then showed the Gamemaster what Skywalker<ref name="Star Wars 10" /> would fight: [[Kongo]] the Disembowler, a massive monster that Grakkus had shipped in on special order from [[Volcano|volcanic]] [[Mustafar]].<ref name="Star Wars 11" /> The Gamemaster was shocked by the beast's size.<ref name="Star Wars 10" /> Loading editor Standard preloads (select a template to preload its contents): Custom preload pagename: Insert: – — … ° ≈ ≠ ± − × ÷ ← → · § Sign your username: ~~~~ Wiki markup: {{}} | [] [[]] [[Category:]] #REDIRECT [[]] <s></s> <sup></sup> <sub></sub> <code></code> <blockquote></blockquote> <ref></ref> <references/> <includeonly></includeonly> <noinclude></noinclude> <nowiki></nowiki> Symbols: ~ | ¡ ¿ † ‡ ↔ ↑ ↓ • ¶ # ¹ ² ³ ½ ⅓ ⅔ ¼ ¾ ⅛ ⅜ ⅝ ⅞ Characters: Á á Ć ć É é Í í Ĺ ĺ Ń ń Ó ó Ŕ ŕ Ś ś Ú ú Ý ý Ź ź À à È è Ì ì Ò ò Ù ù  â Ĉ ĉ Ê ê Ĝ ĝ Ĥ ĥ Î î Ĵ ĵ Ô ô Ŝ ŝ Û û Ŵ ŵ Ŷ ŷ Ä ä Ë ë Ï ï Ö ö Ü ü Ÿ ÿ ß Ã ã Ẽ ẽ Ĩ ĩ Ñ ñ Õ õ Ũ ũ Ỹ ỹ Ç ç Ģ ģ Ķ ķ Ļ ļ Ņ ņ Ŗ ŗ Ş ş Ţ ţ Đ đ Ů ů Ǎ ǎ Č č Ď ď Ě ě Ǐ ǐ Ľ ľ Ň ň Ǒ ǒ Ř ř Š š Ť ť Ǔ ǔ Ž ž Ā ā Ē ē Ī ī Ō ō Ū ū Ȳ ȳ Ǣ ǣ ǖ ǘ ǚ ǜ Ă ă Ĕ ĕ Ğ ğ Ĭ ĭ Ŏ ŏ Ŭ ŭ Ċ ċ Ė ė Ġ ġ İ ı Ż ż Ą ą Ę ę Į į Ǫ ǫ Ų ų Ḍ ḍ Ḥ ḥ Ḷ ḷ Ḹ ḹ Ṃ ṃ Ṇ ṇ Ṛ ṛ Ṝ ṝ Ṣ ṣ Ṭ ṭ Ł ł Ő ő Ű ű Ŀ ŀ Ħ ħ Ð ð Þ þ Œ œ Æ æ Ø ø Å å Ə ə Greek: Ά ά Έ έ Ή ή Ί ί Ό ό Ύ ύ Ώ ώ Α α Β β Γ γ Δ δ Ε ε Ζ ζ Η η Θ θ Ι ι Κ κ Λ λ Μ μ Ν ν Ξ ξ Ο ο Π π Ρ ρ Σ σ ς Τ τ Υ υ Φ φ Χ χ Ψ ψ Ω ω Please note: No personal information from you is required to edit on Wookieepedia.
