Lop Yasaburo
Lop was a Force-sensitive Lepi female resident of the planet Tao during the Imperial Era. An orphan who was not originally from Tao, Lop was an enslaved laborer for the Galactic Empire, which had occupied the planet. After escaping the Empire, Lop was adopted by Boss Yasaburo of the powerful Yasaburo clan at the insistence of his daughter, Ocho. Years after Lop's adoption into the Yasaburo clan, Yasaburo and Ocho took opposite sides of a rebellion against the Empire. With her father supporting the insurgency and her sister opposed, Lop found herself trying to mediate between her family members. Ultimately, Ocho joined the Empire and Yasaburo trained Lop to use their family's lightsaber to confront Ocho. Lop appeared in "Lop & Ocho," a short film in the Star Wars: Visions series written by Sayawaka and directed by Yuki Igarashi. The short, produced by Geno Studio, released on Disney+ on September 22, 2021. Igarashi wished to create a character that was symbolic and who was also a non-human being. In the behind-the-scenes featurettes, it's explained that the creators wanted Lop to be based on a pre-existing rabbit alien species; they were told about Jaxxon and his species, the Lepi, from Coachelle Prime, so they had the idea of making Lop being from a short subspecies.
