CT Imperial Dignitaries

They've been discussed in other threads, but if there is a bunch of characters that are (barely) present in the OT and that I absolutely love and feel could be discussed more, is the Imperial Dignitaries.

An amazing bunch of evil doers with no (prominent) Force abilities, I think they've always represented such an interesting part of the Empire´s everyday shenanigans. Sate Pestage was quite important in some stories (in Rogue Squadron, and was also intended to appear in ESB at some point), and so was Ars Dangor, with Sim Aloo, Janus Greejatus and Kren Blista-Vanee even gaining representation in the 3.75 collecting world.

The latest of these individuals to gain their moment in the spotlight are Veris Hydan and Yupe Tashu, and we got a great look into the way the OT buch related to each other too, in Jason Fry's fantastic "Kernels and Husks" short story (which also included Pebiramus Xorn). And, even if Mas Amedda took Pestage´s place in canon, and characters like Sly Moore have been given a little more development lately, I still enjoy every little bit we get from the advisors, like some great moments they had in the Tarkin novel.

Is there any of these terrible individuals you particularly enjoy or would like to know more about?

 

Aw, our dear dignitaries are not getting much love. This is, well... totally expected to be honest, haha.

Still, one of the lot is getting some interesting development in the new Legacy of Vader series:

Spoiler

Vanée was one of my favorite parts of that great movie, Rogue One. I imagined him as some cultist leader worshiping Vader, and in a way he is just that, even if his backstory is not that much what I expected.

Now we get to see that he is around decades later, his head preserved in a jar attached to a droid, not that unlike the b`omarr monks (Vanée has his full head, though, not just the brain).

I imagine we'll get to learn a lot of his perspectives of Vader in this comic. Sounds really exciting!

 

There's a story about them called "Kernels and Husks" in the ROTJ From a Certain Point of View book.

I wonder if the people of the galaxy who weren't aware that Palpatine was a Sith Lord thought that Amedda, Moore, and the Dignitaries were the real rulers of the Empire and that Palpatine was a figurehead. Maybe there were "Clone Wars truthers" who thought that Dooku was working for Amedda.
