Behind the scenes
Veedaaz Awmetth was a character portrayed by Nicholas Ferguson for Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith,[3] however they never made it into the final release of the film.
Their first official canon appearance was in the The Topps Company, Inc. Star Wars: Card Trader app,[4] before making another appearance in Star Wars: The Visual Encyclopedia.[1]
Dave Elsey, the creature shop creative supervisor for Episode III, based Awmetth's appearance on an initial design of Darth Sidious.[3]
In the 2015 non-canon video game Disney Infinity 3.0, Veedaaz Awmetth was identifed as a Sarrish diplomat.[5] Despite the game being non-canon, story group member Pablo Hidalgo confirmed on Twitter that the names provided by the game for previously unidentified characters were considered canon.[6] However, it is unknown if the designation referred to Awmetth's species.
