The Republic’s Chancellor Is A Very Familiar Species
The Tarsunt Supreme Chancellor Drellik
Drellik being an unknown is yet another example of the effortThe Acolytehas put into increase the number of aliensin more varied role in the series when liken to the otherStar Warsshows . He ’s a member of the Tarsunt mintage , one that audience may remember first seem as member of the Resistance inThe Force Awakens . This species also , however , appear as the Chancellor of theNew Republicin that moving-picture show – but viewers would only get it on this if they pay off good aid to one specific scene .
There was also a Tarsunt Jedi youngling in the first episode ofThe Acolyte .
There’s A Tarsunt Chancellor In The New Republic Era Too
Chancellor Lanever Villecham
InThe Force Awakens , when theFirst Orderfires Starkiller Base at the New Republic ’s working capital , Hosnian Prime , standing in the gang on the satellite is none other than Tarsunt Chancellor Lanever Villecham . First established in the movie , and it being pretty much his only show , Chancellor Villecham was the last Chancellor of the New Republic before he in person see its end . This makes the Tarsunt species the only non - human species to canonically be Chancellor of the New or Old Republic more than once .
Lanever Villecham , as Chancellor during the climb of the First Order , was not the most good being in the galaxy . He systematically refused to recognise the First Order as a threat , despite evidence from General Leia Organa that they were design to strike . Much like this , it seems that Chancellor Drellik inThe Acolyteis also not seeing the terror the right way under his nose in the Sith whose apprentice will finally occupy his office .
