Maketh Tua

Minister Maketh Tua is a character from the first season of Star Wars Rebels, voiced by Kath Soucie. A native of the Outer-Rim planet of Lothal, Tua was trained and educated off-world. After completing her studies, she pursued a career in public service, eventually returning to Lothal to take up a post as an official of the Galactic Empire. Tua's early experiences molded her into an ardent, idealistic young Imperial patriot. She sincerely believed that the Empire offered the best future for herself and her world, and worked diligently to increase Lothal's productivity.

Despite--or perhaps because--of her education and training, Tua was largely oblivious to the Empire's darker and more brutal aspects, and was unprepared when open rebellion broke out on Lothal. Tua found herself at a loss in devising effective means to combat the insurgents, and grew increasingly disillusioned and horrified by the utterly ruthless methods employed by men such as Darth Vader, Grand Moff Tarkin, and the Inquisitor. Ultimately, Tua's inability to deal with the rebels on Lothal would have fateful consequences.
