Legend

this man was the patriarch of the Matale family, and lived on the planet Dantooine some 4,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. Ahlan, whose family had been in a feud with the Sandrals for many years, blamed the kidnapping of his son, Shen, on the Sandral family. He claimed that it was in retaliation for the destruction of several Sandral droids that had wandered onto the Matale Grounds. Ahlan went to the Jedi enclave on Dantooine and demanded that the Jedi help mediate the dispute. The investigation revealed that Shen had, in fact, been at the Sandral Estate, but that he had fallen in love with Rahasia Sandral. Despite his misgivings, Ahlan realized that he couldn't control his son's life forever. He reluctantly agreed to a truce with Nurik Sandral, since their children were obviously in love.
