Blackart

Blackart was the king of the planet Solay, ruling the planet with an iron fist for about 50 years until 4 ABY. Blackart's tyranny gave rise to an Imperial-backed popular uprising that finally, with the aid of Jedi Knight Luke Skywalker, overthrew his rule. A hulking, powerful and bloodthirsty creature, Blackart was imprisoned following the revolution but swiftly escaped, planning to steal a ship and find a new world to conquer. Blackart's rampage to the spaceport was waylaid by Skywalker, who defeated Blackart in combat and pressed the former dictator for information on the identity of a traitor to the rebellion. Blackart pleaded ignorance, and Skywalker left him behind in the wreckage of his escape craft.
