Giddean Danu was a male Human Galactic Republic Senator from Kuat during the Clone Wars.
Biography[]
Grim and humorless, Danu was among the senators that opposed Chancellor Palpatine's growing emergency powers. This brought him into conflict with many people on Kuat, who benefited from increased production in Kuat's shipyards during the end of the Clone Wars. His opposition to increased militarization led him to be twice nearly recalled from office by Onara Kuat and the Kuati electorate.
He had good ties with the Jedi and greatly respected their Order, believing the nascent rebellion being led by Mon Mothma and Bail Prestor Organa needed the support of the Jedi in order to succeed. Danu, following Mothma and Organa's lead, became part of the Delegation of 2000, although he did not accompany the group when their petition was rejected by Palpatine.
Following the Declaration of a New Order which formed the Galactic Empire, Danu was arrested along with the delegates that refused to serve the Empire. After Fang Zar was released, he was escorted to the Imperial Judiciary Central Detention Center and was executed by Darth Vader.
