Prince Eskel was dressed in his best white tunic, the height of Naboo's fashion. His plan wasn't to impress Princess Kijani by flaunting his wealth, as he knew she was not so easily impressed, but rather to look impressive and noble.

As he walked through the muddy swamps of Dagobah, however, he realized how bad of an idea this was. He was glad that he ordered his security forces to stay with the ship, as he didn't need more people to see the noble, good-hearted prince covered waist deep in mud. Being escorted by half a dozen armed guards was hardly heroic or attractive. 

Suddenly, he felt something brush up against his leg in the mud, and Eskel completely froze. Was there something dangerous in the water? Was he about to die?

"Hello?" he said into the swamp, hoping that someone would hear him.
