Wuuden Malnic

"Why is this still making news? The [expletive deleted] Republic is tearing itself apart, and we're talking about a snot-nosed brat and his whining mother."
―Wuuden Malnic[1]

Wuuden Malnic was a Rodian courier living on the galactic capital planet Coruscant[1] in 22 BBY.[2] Malnic was once asked by a journalist from HoloNet News CoCo District Edition what the Rodian thought of the Jedi Order refusing to return the six-month-old Force-sensitive Human Ludi to her mother, Jonava Billane, in the "Baby Ludi" custody case.[1]

Malnic responded that it did not make sense why the media cared so much about the case when the Galactic Republic was falling apart due to the Separatist Crisis. The Rodian was so upset about the situation that Malnic swore while being interviewed. Wuuden had had black eyes and green skin, and on at least one occasion, wore red clothing.[1]

Behind the scenes

Wuuden Malnic first appeared in HoloNet News Vol. 531 #46, an issue of the representation of the in-universe HoloNet News, published on the HoloNet News website[1] on March 7, 2002.[3] Malnic was created by Pablo Hidalgo and Paul Ens,[4] and they were pictured in an article entitled "Jedi Refuse to Hand Over Baby Ludi,"[1] which was illustrated by artist Joe Corroney.[4]
