An heir to the Mace Windu lightsaber fortune is being hunted by the Republic after vanishing in the midst of his trial on charges of Jedi mind trick date raping three women.

An arrest warrant was issued for Andrew Windu, 39, after he apparently jumped bail of $1 million Republic Credits over the weekend, disappearing from his Nebulafront Coruscant home with his T-16 skyhopper, worrt and most of his clothes.

Jedi authorities were also expected to join the hunt for the millionaire, who could be sarlacced for life if convicted on more than 80 criminal counts that include rape, sexual battery, unauthorized mind tampering and illegal use of a lightsaber.

His flight comes after several adverse court rulings and a week of powerful evidence presented by the Corporate Alliance.

Windu has maintained his innocence, and his lawyer argued that the lightsaber heir was a producer of porno-holographics and that the tapes portrayed consensual sex and cloning.

The Corporate Alliance is preparing for an extreme man hunt. Patrols have been set up at all Republic borders, bulletins have been sent to each planetary judicial system, and the Republic has just hired Bounty Hunter Chester Fett, grandson of Mace Windus' age old adversary.

Andrew Windu is the great-grandson of Mace Windu, the legendary leader of the Jedi Council and developer of the "Purple Peter North" lightsaber, Windu turned the niche business into a global lightsaber powerhouse. The business was sold to Procter & Gamble a long time ago, in a Galaxy right next story, cementing the family fortune.
