Zar, Fang
Category: CharactersFang Zar was portrayed by Warren Owens in Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith.
This grizzled, old man represented his homeworld of Sern Prime as a Senator to the Old Republic during the Clone Wars. He was distinguished by his long, gray beard and his natty hair, which was collected in a topknot that was common among the males of the Sern Sector of the galaxy. An outspoken supporter of the Old Republic, Senator Zar maintained residences on Coruscant and Ghorman, as well as his homeworld. When the planet Duro fell to the Separatists, Fang Zar was among the first to support the actions of Corellia in retreating to defend its own borders, despite the public and political outcry at the loss of such a visible member of the Republic. Many believed that it was Zar's personal friendship with Senator Garm Bel Iblis that decided his loyalty, rather than political necessity. Senator Zar later became part of a small group that supported Bail Organa's pettion to ensure Chancellor Palpatine relinquished the unprecedented control he had been given during the Clone Wars, and was one of the original members of the Delegation of the Two Thousand. Unfortunately, Fang Zar was among the first Senators to be arrested for their part in the Petition, after Palpatine instituted the New Order and assumed the position of Emperor. Senator Zar was eventually released, but fled to Alderaan where he received political asylum. His presense on Alderaan put additional pressure on Bail Organa, who had already been connected with the Jedi Order and was one of the primary members of the Petiton of the Two Thousand. Events came to a head when Senator Zar attempted to return to his homeworld of Sern Prime. He contacted Cash Garrulan to arrange for passage offworld, and the crew of the Drunk Dancer took on the job. However, their rescue mission coincided with an anti-Imperial demonstration, and this combination of events attracted the attention of Darth Vader himself. Vader was briefly detained by former Jedi Master Roan Shryne, who was working as part of the Drunk Dancer's crew in the wake of the Clone Wars. Shryne confronted Vader, but was no match for the Dark Lord's command of the Force. During their battle, Vader threw his lightsaber into the air. Shryne watched helplessly as the blade slashed through Senator Zar's chest, then cut through the back of Jula Shryne. Nearly decapitated by the attack, Senator Zar quickly died from his injuries, despite the efforts of medics to repair his grievous wounds.
