Star Wars: Darth Vader (Dark Lord Of The Sith) Comic Dub Series Volume 1
Austin Hammett for Mas Amedda
Backstory:
Mas Amedda was a Chagrian male politician hailing from the planet Champala who served as Grand Vizier following the Galactic Republic's reorganization into the Galactic Empire at the end of the Clone Wars, a pan-galactic conflict between the Republic and its splinter state, the Confederacy of Independent Systems. A Chagrian with impeccable political skills, Amedda served as the Vice Chair of the Republic Senate in the chancelleries of Finis Valorum and his successor, Sheev Palpatine, who was secretly the Sith Lord Darth Sidious, something that Amedda was privy to knowing. In an alien gesture of authority, he would often punctuate his calls for order with a flicker of his long, forked tongue. Though he believed himself to be the pinnacle of the Empire in the wake of Emperor Palpatine's death, Amedda was instead remembered by history as a weak-willed sycophant of the Emperor.
With the galaxy at war, Amedda continued to serve in the Office of the Chancellor, leading the Strategic Advisory Cell and supporting Palpatine in his decisions as a wartime leader. As the war came to a close, the time for the Sith Grand Plan to be enacted arrived. Palpatine enacted Order 66, which had the clone troopers turn on their Jedi Generals and assassinate them, and, with Amedda by his side, created the Galactic Empire, the successor state to the Galactic Republic. In the chaotic repercussions that followed shortly thereafter, Grand Master Yoda confronted Sidious with Amedda in attendance. After the two engaged in a lightsaber duel, Amedda officiated a ceremony outside the burned Jedi Temple, in which he burned many-a-lightsaber that had belonged to the fallen Jedi. Amedda was rewarded for his loyalty to Palpatine, and he prospered under the Empire, serving as the Grand Vizier in the Imperial Ruling Council. One of the most respected figures in the fascist government, military leaders heeded Amedda's summons on behalf of Palpatine, while governors dreamed of being thought worthy of his attention.
When We See Him:
After having relayed the Emperor's message to Captain Kagi, Amedda spoke at a large public rally outside the former Jedi Temple to commemorate the Order's eradication. The Chagrian's speech proclaimed the Jedi's oppression and treachery to be over at the hands of Darth Sidious and heralded an "age of freedom" for the galaxy. In conjunction with the fiery address, Imperial stormtroopers dumped a basket of confiscated lightsabers into a large incinerator to be burned before the gathered crowd. Amedda himself added Yoda's lightsaber, lost by the Jedi Master during the duel in the Senate, to the crucible. The public demonstration ended after the kyber crystals in the lightsabers produced a large energy discharge from within the inferno.
