Legend

this Jawa was one of the handful of his race who were living on Cularin during the final years of the Clone Wars. He was part of a small gang led by Meelo, and was considered the "founder" of the so-called Wookiee Liberation Front, or WOLF for short. In order to communicate with his comrades, Keth-Keth wore a specialized vocoder unit that translated the Jawa language into Basic. When one of their members was captured and imprisoned by the Metatheran Cartel, Meelo led her inept comrades in a daring escape, which was bungled almost from the start. In the resulting chaos, Meelo managed to rescue her friend, but Keth-Keth decided that they needed to cover their escape. Screaming "Free Kashyyyk" as loud as his vocoder would project, Keth-Keth lobbed grenades at police vehicles while calling for people to rally around the Wookiee Liberation Front. Although it was a simple ruse, the Wookiee Liberation Front received a lot of press in the local holonewscasts, and eventually became a legitimate organization that funneled credits and supplies to help the Wookiees of Kashyyyk in their attempt to ousted the Separatist forces that were trying to take control of their homeworld. When Keth-Keth and his comrades were stopped by a group of clone troopers in Hedrett, he reacted violently to their threats to send him back to Tatooine. He used a specially-fitted stun glove to grab the lead clone trooper by the crotch, sending waves of pain into the clone's testicles. The band managed to evade capture in the ensuing chaos.
