—Aiddat attempting to defend himself in court
Tiwt Reppu was a wealthy Gran from Malastare. During the Galactic Civil War, he was both a politician and a businessbeing.
Although the Empire decreased the power of the Gran rulers, he managed to maintain considerable prestige at least among the Gran. Among Gran commoners, Reppu was known for being corrupt and vain and he was rumored to wander the streets drunk at night. However, he had many supporters, probably through means such as bribes and blackmail.
One night in 3 ABY, Tiwt was shooting random people while intoxicated, pretending they were his rivals in his stupor. He targeted a young Gran named Aiddat, but Aiddat unwittingly acted on a Force precognition and shot first, killing the drunkard. The young Gran was accused of murder for this and exiled.
Behind the scenes[]
Tiwt Reppu is "upper twit" backwards, a shortened form of "upper-class twit".
