| ~ Dr. Vindi's most infamous quote. |
Dr. Nuvo Vindi is a supporting antagonist in Season 1 of Star Wars: The Clone Wars, serving as the main antagonist of the Blue Shadow Virus Arc, and a mentioned character in Catalyst: A Rogue One Novel. He is an omnicidal mad scientist who remade the Blue Shadow Virus in hopes of "cleansing" the galaxy.
He was voiced by Michael York.
What Makes Him Pure Evil?[]
- He recreated the Blue Shadow Virus to release it all across the galaxy, an act that would have killed all life since nobody is immune. This makes him stand out even compared to Grand Moff Tarkin and General Grievous because they never once attempted anything quite on this scale.
- He contaminates Naboo's rivers with the virus, killing multiple animals, mostly Peppi Bow's shaaks.
- When his plans are foiled by the heroes, he activates the bombs in his lair to kill everyone on Naboo with the virus, himself included.
- His fanaticism made his loved ones grow distant and fear him in the past, and his own delusions don't justify what he has done and what he plans to do. He is objectively the most heinous villain in the Disney Canon by far, considering none of the others have attempted mass murder on the same scale.
- Despite his eccentricity, he is always taken completely seriously.
- While he is allies with Count Dooku, the other Separatists, and his Battle Droids, it's only so that he can have the resources needed to recreate the Blue Shadow Virus and not out of any actual loyalty or care for them, best shown when he says that he wants to kill everybody in the whole galaxy and never mentions sparing them.
- He even went as far as to blowing up his loyal servant droid LEP-86C8 just so he can release the Virus, showing that his care for him was only out of pragmatic reasons.
Trivia[]
- A decade prior to him recreating the Blue Shadow Virus, he was not Pure Evil, because he was taking care of the Perma families as their medic. However, after a decade passed and he becomes recruited by the Separatists, he seemed to have shed any care for them.
- Interestingly, among all the characters who are considered Pure Evil in the main canon of Star Wars, Dr. Nuvo Vindi is the only one who isn't confirmed to be deceased since he was arrested for his crimes by the Republic and taken into custody, but hasn't been seen or heard from since, presenting the possibility he may still be alive.
