I worked damn hard to crawl my way outta Lower Coruscant, bringing down a lot of rich and powerful blowhards on the way. And none of those self-important shuttas, not even the Emperor, is getting me to crawl back in the hole.
—Bari Ahrens
Bari Arhens was a Balosar reporter. Later, he became a key information broker for the Rebel Alliance and one of the New Republic's most respected journalists.
Behind the scenes[]
The name and concept for Bari Arhens was taken from the Peter Gabriel song, "The Barry Williams Show," about a sleazy talkshow host that is later displaced.
