- “Luke and I were tailing an old Jedi hunter. Ochi of Bestoon. He was carrying a clue that could lead to a wayfinder. We followed his ship halfway across the galaxy here. When we got to his ship, it was abandoned. No clue, no wayfinder.”
- ―Lando Calrissian about Ochi
Ochi, also known as Ochi of Bestoon, is a recurring antagonist in the Star Wars franchise.
Background[]
Ochi was born on the planet Bestoon. He was a known Jedi hunter since the Clone Wars and became an assassin obsessed with finding Sith relics. At some point, he obtained the droid D-O from one of his victims. Shadow of the Sith, reveals he abused the droid and he was reactivated by the Sith. He owned a ship called the Bestoon Legacy, which was left with D-O on Pasaana after the Sith assassin's demise there. Ochi also possessed a personal Sith dagger used to commit acts of murder.
During the Galactic Civil War, he was tasked by the emperor with hunting Darth Vader as a test. Afterwards, he would instead serve Darth Vader and become blinded by a massive Kyber crystal mountain on the planet Exegol. After receiving a cybernetic visor, Ochi would become Vader's agent in combatting the crime syndicate Crimson Dawn and attempting to retrieve the smuggler Han Solo.
Later on, the orders of the Emperor, Ochi would be tasked with hunting down Rey and her parents. After succeeding in finding Rey's parents, Ochi would murder them after they refused to give up Rey's location. He would later be found boasting in a cantina about Exegol, which led to him being pursued by Luke Skywalker and Lando Calrissian. This chase led him to the desert planet Passana, where Ochi's ship would crash and he would perish below the sands.
While searching for a Sith wayfinder, Rey found a dagger that belonged to Ochi, the missing key that Luke had been searching for. As C-3PO's program forbids him to translate Sith language, Rey and her group took him to an old friend of Poe's, who bypassed the program so that C-3PO could translate the runes inscribed on the blade, in order to locate the wayfinder. The dagger's crossguards have concealed measurements arcs for use in pinpointing the missing wayfinder's location.
