'''Moff Jerjerrod''' is a fictional character in the '']'' ], appearing in '']''. He is portrayed by ]. |
|
|
|
|
|
==In ''Return of the Jedi''== |
|
|
Jerjerrod is first introduced in ''Return of the Jedi'' as commanding officer of the second ], and immediate subordinate of ]. Prior to that command, he was the ] of the Quanta sector, and suffered great indignity when his home on Tinnel IV was robbed.{{fact}} |
|
|
|
|
|
In order to prevent ] ] from finding out about the second Death Star too early, Jerjerrod is promoted to the director of Imperial Energy Systems, a new department formed to develop portable ]s for ] relief. |
|
|
|
|
|
When the Death Star's shields fall, Jerjerrod, acting on orders given to him by Emperor ], orders the ] to turn and fire on the sanctuary moon of ]. Jerjerrod stays behind while the rest of the Imperials evacuate the station. He dies when the Death Star's ] is destroyed before the station can complete its final task. |
|
|
|
|
|
A ] in ''Return of the Jedi'' has Jerjerrod suffering Vader's infamous ] technique at one point. In this lost scene, he and two ] refuse to let Vader in to see the Emperor, prompting Vader to use the Force to strangle (but not kill) Jerjerrod. |
|
|
|
|
|
Moff Jerjerrod was intended to have worn the updated Moff rank badge. Due to a costume problem, however, all the Imperial characters in ''Return of the Jedi'' were shown wearing Navy Commander badges.{{fact}} |

|
==Behind the scenes== |
|
|
Jerjerrod was originally a more complex character. The novelization of ''Return of the Jedi'' implies that he is a ] who derives an inflated sense of his own power from brutalizing the Rebel Alliance. In earlier drafts, Jerjerrod is a full-fledged Grand Moff, the ''Star Wars'' universe's equivalent to a governor, and far more powerful than he is in the finished movie. |
|
|
|
|
|
He was originally characterized as an annoyingly smug and obnoxious ] whom Darth Vader loathes. The screenplay had Jerjerrod arriving on the ''Executor'' as the Emperor's personal emissary. Vader greets him as "my lord", while ] and the Star Captains kneel before him. Vader and Jerjerrod, however, quickly get into a heated argument. Jerjerrod ridicules Vader's failure to turn ] to the ], and proceeded to openly insult the ]. |
|
|
|
|
|
Later in the script, it is revealed that the Emperor and Jerjerrod had conspired to turn Luke without Vader's knowledge. Upon finding out about this plot, Vader kills Jerjerrod. |
