Biography
Edit
Captain Lunker was a male Gungan who lived during the Clone Wars.[1] Around 21 BBY,[2] Lunker was tasked with watching Jan-gwa city, a small city on the Mid Rim planet of Naboo. During that time, the Sith Lord Darth Sidious tasked the bounty hunter Cad Bane to kidnap Force-sensitive children. One of the targets of the Duros bounty hunter was Roo-Roo Page, a Gungan child living in Jan-gwa city. However, the Jedi Order discovered Bane's plan and dispatched Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker and his Padawan, Ahsoka Tano, to Naboo to protect Page.[1]
Lunker, along with Captain Gregar Typho from the Royal Naboo Security Forces, rendezvoused with the arriving Jedi[1] in the Royal Hangar in Naboo's capital Theed.[3] Typho told Skywalker and Tano that Page's family had been notified, and introduced Lunker to the two. Skywalker ordered Tano to go with Lunker to Page's house in Jan-gwa city, while he stayed with Typho for sometime. Lunker brought Tano to Jan-gwa city, and soon Skywalker rejoined his Padawan. After a brief brawl between Bane and the Jedi, Skywalker and Tano were able to save Page from Bane's attempt to abduct her; and they arrest the bounty hunter.[1]
