Legend

this young Twi'lek girl was a slave in Mos Espa, and was a friend of young Anakin Skywalker. Before arriving on Tatooine, Pala was first enslaved by the Toydarian baron Begubb. Begubb had demanded an annual payment of ryll spice to "protect" her village, and when the natives couldn't pay, Begubb took the smartest and brightest children instead. She was educated at Madame Vansitt's Charm Academy to be an assassin, and was sold to Lord Tantos shortly before Anakin defeated Sebulba in the Boonta Eve Classic podrace. However, she and Anakin discovered a group of Ghostling children captured by Sebulba, and they tried their best to rescue them from Gradulla the Hutt. Gardulla was able to identify Pala from a flake of skin found in Gardulla's dungeons, and Madame Vansitt had no choice but to destroy Pala. Luckily for Pala, Anakin had given her a signal jammer to wear, which blocked the destruction transmission. After helping the Ghostlings reach Bantha Rock and the ship of Rakir Banai, Pala escaped Tatooine with Dorn.
