PERSONNEL DATABASE

Luthen Rael ran a galactic antiquities shop on Coruscant as cover for a rebel network. He recruited Cassian Andor, ran Vel Sartha and Kleya Marki, and spent years staging attacks the formal Alliance would not yet own. He used the gallery's artifacts and radio traffic to hide Axis from the ISB for years.

Lux Bonteri was the son of Separatist senator Mina Bonteri. He worked with Ahsoka Tano, later led Onderon's rebels with the Gerreras, and broke from Saw after Steela died.

Lyra Erso was Galen Erso's wife and Jyn's mother. She hid the family on Lah'mu until Orson Krennic came for Galen; she was shot there as Jyn escaped into the fields.

Maarva Andor raised Cassian on Ferrix after taking him from Kenari. Her funeral holocast called Ferrix to rise against the Empire, a speech that sparked the street revolt Cassian witnessed before leaving with Luthen Rael. She had told Cassian to leave Ferrix and fight; her last message made the street fight him.

Mace Windu sat on the Jedi High Council and led the Jedi strike team into the Geonosis arena, where he beheaded Jango Fett as the Clone Wars began. He fought as a general through the war and wielded a distinctive purple lightsaber. When he moved to arrest Chancellor Palpatine as the Sith Lord Darth Sidious, Anakin Skywalker disarmed him; Palpatine's Force lightning hurled Windu from the office window to his death.

Maketh Tua was Lothal's Imperial minister. After failing Thrawn she tried to defect to the Rebellion; the Empire destroyed her shuttle as a lesson, an attack the Spectres witnessed.

Malakili kept Jabba the Hutt's rancor beneath the palace. He wept over the beast after Luke Skywalker killed it in the pit, then was left behind when the court moved to the Great Pit of Carkoon. He had raised the rancor as a prized beast, not as the pit trap Luke turned it into.

Mara Jade is the Emperor's Hand in the Heir to the Empire novels, later a Jedi and Luke Skywalker's wife. This archive records that legends line, not a film appearance.

Marchion Ro was the Eye of the Nihil, the pirate-storm's hidden leader. He used Path engines and a nameless blight to break the High Republic's frontier worlds.

Maris Brood is a Zabrak dark-side apprentice in The Force Unleashed, trained on Felucia after Shaak Ti's death. She duels Vader's apprentice there when he comes for her master.

Marrok was a masked former Inquisitor in Morgan Elsbeth's hire. He fought Ahsoka Tano as a scout and enforcer and was struck down during the hunt that led to Thrawn's return. His Inquisitor training showed in the duel with Ahsoka before she cut him down.

Mart Mattin was Commander Sato's nephew and a young Iron Squadron pilot. After his first crew was lost he kept flying with the Rebellion, including later runs with the Spectres.

Mas Amedda, a Chagrian politician, served as Vice Chair of the Galactic Senate under Chancellors Valorum and Palpatine. He stood beside Palpatine when the Republic became the Empire and remained a public face of Imperial government. After the Battle of Jakku he signed the Galactic Concordance for what was left of the Empire.

Masana Tide, the Ninth Sister, was a Dowutin Inquisitor who hunted Cal Kestis. She fought him on Kashyyyk and later on Coruscant, using raw strength and Inquisitor training until he finally struck her down. Cal faced her more than once as the Inquisitorius tried to finish the Jedi Purge.

Max Rebo, an Ortolan, led the Max Rebo Band in Jabba's palace. His group played for the Hutt's court, including the number that accompanied Oola's death in the rancor pit, and was aboard during the sail-barge battle. The Ortolan's band was the house music of Jabba's court through that last Tatooine week.

General Maximilian Veers led the Imperial Army assault on Hoth. From the command walker he directed AT-ATs that destroyed Echo Base's shield generator, opening the way for Vader's troops to storm the hangar. His Blizzard Force walkers closed on Echo Base while the Rebel transports launched.

Maz Kanata was an ancient pirate who kept a castle on Takodana. Force-sensitive and long-lived, she held Anakin and Luke's lightsaber until Rey claimed it, then aided the Resistance with ships and counsel. Her castle on Takodana fell when the First Order tracked BB-8 there after Jakku.

Merrin was a Nightsister who survived General Grievous's massacre on Dathomir. She first fought Cal Kestis, then joined the Stinger Mantis crew, using Nightsister magick against the Empire and the Hidden Path's enemies. Cal earned her trust after she saw the Empire as the same power that had burned her clan.

Migs Mayfeld was a former Imperial sharpshooter who ran with Ranzar Malk's crew, then helped Din Djarin steal coordinates from an Imperial rhydonium railyard on Morak.

Mina Bonteri represented Onderon in the Separatist Senate and was Lux Bonteri's mother. She worked with Padmé Amidala on a peace vote and was assassinated after that effort.
