Legend

this young man, a native of the planet Belderone, was Flint's best friend. Flint volunteered Barney to keep an eye on the Millennium Falcon when Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa traveled to the planet to investigate the Imperial laboratory there, shortly before the Battle of Endor. Barney and Flint later volunteered to help them with their efforts to liberate Kulthis and Belderone. Unfortunately, Barney was injured when Flint tried to rescue his mother, Zana. Flint crashed their speeder, and Barney was thrown from the vehicle. He was later rescued, and he joined the Alliance when he learned that his entire family had been killed in the Imperial assault. Barney also trained briefly under Luke, in the months following the Battle of Endor. Luke was hesitant to train beings in the use of the Force, for fear of creating another Darth Vader. Despite this setback, Barney accompanied Luke on a mission to free the planet Naldar. There, he discovered that Flint had been training under Darth Vader himself, in order to avenge his mother's death. Barney explained that Flint's mother had died at the hands of the Empire, not the Alliance. He managed to convince Flint to renounce his connections to the Empire and the Dark Side of the Force, saving Flint from a life of evil.
