Legend

this was the alias used by one of two Almas Academy Jedi - the other was simply known as Nute - who approached Yara Grugara about doing an interview on the current state of the galaxy, in the wake of the Clone Wars and the formation of the first Galactic Empire. The two Jedi, under visual and audio anonymity, tried to explain why the balance of the Force had been upset by the rise to power of Emperor Palpatine. Rune's position was that the Jedi Order may have brought about its own destruction by refusing to acknowledge that the Force had a Light Side and a Dark Side. By teaching Padawans only about the Light Side, the Jedi created an artificial imbalance in the Force. Rune became upset when Nute tried to deflect this line of reasoning as unnecessarily fatalistic, especially when Yara questioned whether or not the Jedi should have taught their students more about the Sith. When Rune agreed with this statement, Nute boisterously disagreed, which further raised Rune's emotions. Nute then tried to explain that the Jedi were only concerned with doing was was right, and Rune's emotional control broke. He drew on power from the Dark Side of the Force and tried to strangle Nute, and Yara was powerless to intervene. The broadcast ended with Rune screaming at Nute about balance, as Nute struggled to draw a breath.
