Dewell Bronk was one of the 2000 Senators who signed the petition protesting Palpatine's power grabs. Refusing to recant his signature, he took some meager possessions and went on the run. Seeing a couple of Devaronian youths hassling an elderly Twi'lek female, he tries to speak up for her but is ignored. He is surprised when a human he thinks of as The Young Father tells the youths to leave her alone, and they go. Later, as he moves from one ship to the next, he sees two clone troopers abusing an Ortolan janitor. He decides to stand up to them and hits one trooper in the leg with his bag. They turn and address him by name, telling him he is under arrest, and he realizes it was all a trap. Before they can take him into custody, a bucket of soapy water is dropped over the head of one trooper, and the man from the ship sprays a cleaning foam into the other helmet. Attacking the troopers, the man forces them down a flight of stairs behind a door and locks it. As the man escorts Dewell to his flight, they talk about how life will be in hiding as the Emperor gains more power. Eventually Dewell realizes that he can't live his life in hiding and that he will be able to do the most good working behind the scenes to help people. When the man tells him that even the smallest person could change the galaxy, he responds that even the man's son could do that. As they part ways, Dewell asks the man's name and he replies that "Who I am is no longer important". Dewell responds that what the man does is important and that he should keep doing it if possible.
