- "The previous commander of Coruscant Security also made demands for more soldiers, Moff Kadir. You shall make do with what we provide. Unless you'd rather share your predecessor's fate."
- ―Darth Vader
Moff Kadir's father, a Human[2] male, served as the Commander of the Coruscant Security Force before the Battle of Yavin.[3] By 0 BBY,[1] he[2] was executed for voicing his opinions too much by requesting more soldiers to secure the Imperial capital planet Coruscant.[3] He was replaced as the commander of Coruscant Security by his son Kadir.[2]
Behind the scenes
Kadir's father was first mentioned in Empire 1, written by Scott Allie as the first issue in the Star Wars: Empire series of comics and published by Dark Horse Comics[3] on September 4, 2002.[4] Although originally only identified as Moff Kadir's predecessor in Empire 1,[3] The Complete Star Wars Encyclopedia further stated that he was Moff Kadir's father.[2]
