Behind the scenesEdit
Originally created for the 1999 film Star Wars: Episode I The Phantom Menace,[2] Sil Unch was first identified in the 2001 Boonta Eve Podrace expansion set for the Star Wars Legends Young Jedi Collectible Card Game. However, Decipher claimed he was the Neimoidian sitting in the middle of the Vuutun Palaa's bridge, erroneously depicting him using an image of Tey How,[5] an error repeated in its Theed Palace Limited expansion set for the Star Wars Customizable Card Game.[4] The Devious Neimoidians Revealed, an article published in Star Wars Insider 147, retconed Unch as the Neimoidian sitting on the left side of the Saak'ak and Vuutun Palaa's bridges,[3] which was set in stone by Leland Chee.[6]
