So as Iâm still lacking the bios, Iâm going to throw a blurb here.
From left to right: Jedi Master Kit Fisto, Captain Aliza Organa, Sparks, Razor, Edge, Chatterbox, Chuckles, and Haywire.
Aliza Organaâa rather distant relation to Bail Organaâwas a captain of the Senate Guard before Order 66 went down. She spent a great deal of her time there and often saw several Jedi in the building or around the city. She found most of them to be either a bit naĂŻve or snobbish, but overall, she respected them.
Two of the ones she always enjoyed seeing were Jedi Master Plo Koon and Jedi Master Kit Fisto, the first for his calm and polite demeanor and the second for his good sense of humor and affinity for laughter. They seemed quite different to most of the Jedi she saw. (Though Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi were close seconds.)
She was on patrol the day the Jedi entered the Senate, and she was passing when she felt something wasnât right⌠and then heard the sounds of battle and shouts.
Going through the passageways known only to the Guard, ways they were taught for safety, she entered the room just after Palpatine and Windu had moved from it only to see the bodies of the other three Jediâincluding Master Fisto!âon the floor. She was horrified but she didnât have time to consider. She could hear the sounds of battle in the other room and there was only a split second to make a decision.
She checked the first two Jedi, but there was nothing to be done. When she reached Master Fisto, she expected much the same result and yet⌠there was a pulse!
In another instantaneous decisionââthe fight seeming to begin moving againââshe dragged a grievously injured Kit from the room and into the passageway, closing it behind her. Rather than take the time to think, she cast off her helmet and bulky shoulder plates and properly picked him up, carrying him through the corridors. She didnât understand what was going on but something was wrong, and she didnât need the Force to tell her that.
She went to ground.
The next few hours and days were difficult, for her and for Kit. She wasnât a medic by any means, but she was able to contact her relative, Bail, and he was able to obtain the necessary supplies for her as well as to give her explanation, which struck her like a lightning bolt.
The Jedi had been branded traitors, and she had saved one of them, which meant she, too, had committed treason.
Kit was not in good shape for several days, running a fever and nearly delirious with pain, though with the supplies brought to her, a serious infection was avoided and he pulled through it. (Though he would have a permanent and horrendous limp for the rest of his life from the damage done when the lightsaber sliced his side/hip.)
The next time Bail contacted her, it was with a means of getting them off-world and to somewhere else, somewhere beyond the Empireâs reach. By then, Kit was more aware and they narrowed down the possibilities based upon the traits of his species. Takodana was decided between them, though Bail did not wish to hear their location, for the sake of everyoneâs safety.
Once on Takodana, Kit reunited with a dear friendâMaz Kanataâand she agreed to allow him to stay there, earning his stay as a bartender named Orrus Rindit.
While Aliza does spend a great amount of time there, too, she does take up work as a bounty hunter to cover any necessities. She doesnât much like the job but. Beggars canât be choosers and that plays closest to her skill set. It also allows her to keep an ear to the ground, so to speak, on bounties and on her fellow hunters.
Of course, Kitâs clone troopers, once upon a time jokingly referred to by others as Kitâs KidsâSparks, Razor, Edge, Chatterbox, Chuckles, and Haywireâretired post Order-66. They were good at what they did, but they hadnât quite made a name for themselves the way some did, like Cody, so they werenât asked to train the new military. They simply retired and vanished.
Through sheer coincidence or the Force at work, they went to Takodana because they knew of Kitâs friendship with several of the⌠rascally types, including Hondo Ohnaka and Maz Kanata. They wished to relay the news to them in person. Maz, of course, received their sad news after closing time and with great somberness. She even offered them a round of drinks on the house before they left⌠and called the order out to the bartender who had heard it all.
As soon as The Kids saw that grin, they knew exactly who it was and they were both shocked and overjoyedâChuckles perhaps a bit too much so as he jumped the counter and bear-hugged Kit. [Chuckles is particularly attached to Kit as he saved his life a few times. He even tattooed Kitâs markings onto his own shoulders as a sign of loyalty and respect. Whether Kit knows about it or not is anyoneâs guess. His armor was similarly painted.]
From there, the clones usually split and take turns when Aliza leaves to go on a bounty. Half go with her and the others stay with Kit to keep him safe take a break.
ââââââââ
Fun Fact Number 1: Aliza has managed to keep Kit alive this long, and she doesnât intend to change the plan this late in the game. She is very protective of him, and she gives a lot of side eye.
Fun Fact Number 2: After they thought they lost him once, The Kids donât plan on losing him for real. They are very protective of him also.
Essentially, if you approach the bartender on Takodana, prepare to receive some side eye from multiple directions.
