Kutu was a humanoid Sith Master who trained Lola in the ways of the dark side, and hunted her down when she abandoned the Order in search of a peaceful life. He wielded a red lightsaber with an unstable blade, which crackled and sparked when ignited and included a sword shaped design in both the blade and hilt.
Biography
Early life
- "You made a promise. Remember?"
- ―Kutu to Lola
At some point, Kutu became the Sith Master to his apprentice Lola, who later abandoned him and the Sith, intending to follow her own path. This led Kutu on a search for his former apprentice, intent on returning her to the dark side.[2]
Reunion and Death
- "This is why you left? Darkness is your fate!"
- ―Kutu commenting on Lola's passion for art.
Kutu confronts his former student.
Eventually finding Lola, he triggered a sensor alert from Beacon 8, luring Lola to him. When she escaped, Kutu's droid's chased after her before being destroyed by Lola and her droid E2. Kutu eventually caught up to her, breaking E2 apart with ease through the force and pursued Lola into her base, where the two dueled. Kutu offered Lola the opportunity to join him once more, stating that if she didn't, the only escape she had was by following the Sith tradition and killing him to become the Master.[2] Eventually, Lola got the better of Kutu, striking him down. He then told her that she was the Sith Master now, before disintegrating.[2]
Legacy
Lola left the planet soon after their duel, finding comfort in having defeated Kutu and that she was now the Master, believing that she could now create her own path.[2]
Powers and abilities
Kutu was a powerful force user, capable of violently ripping apart E2 with ease.[2] He also portrayed skill in wielding his lightsaber, however his skill with his blade was not enough to allow him to kill Lola once she started drawing on both light and dark.[2]
Equipment
Kutu used a respirator and wielded a red lightsaber.[2]
