History Characters / StarWarsNewRepublicSenate

* StagingTheEavesdrop: To cover up her suspicious financial activity, during a car ride with Perrin she falsely accuses him of getting back into gambling, knowing that her driver is an imperial spy who would be listening in on the conversation.

* HeWhoFightsMonsters: She is appalled at Luthen's underhanded methods for building the nascent Rebellion, but when backed into a corner she eventually resorts to some highly dubious tactics of her own, such as pressing her daughter into an arranged marriage with the son of a corrupt banker, as well as pinning her suspicious financial activity on her husband.

* BusinessTripAdultery: In ''Leia, Princess of Alderaan'' Grand Moff Tarkin crashes a dinner party of Rebel-sympathizing Senators on Alderaan. In order to distract him from a more nervous guest, Queen Breha angrily brings up the rumor that Bail Organa's long trips off Alderaan owe entirely to covert liasons with Mon Mothma. She and Bail instantly play along until Tarkin, disgusted by the whole sordid affair, goes away again. ''Andor'' makes this fiction seem more plausible given the state of Mothma's marriage; she likely envies the Organa's close bond and their ability to lean on each other in messy, harrowing circumstances.

** She suspects that Senator Saam's bill will deregulate the Intergalatic Banking Clan, which is exactly what happens when Demolition Droids sent by Grievous bomb Coruscant's power generators while the Republic Senate was about to vote on the illegal Separatist peace plan.

** He refused to let his son Kaz be independent but ended up resenting that Kaz often goes for him to help.

* {{Hypocrite}}: His thesis against Hera is that she lets her personal feelings cloud her judgment, but he ends up with an unhealthy vendetta towards her and also broke the rules to deny her mission.

* IRejectYourReality: He refuses to concede any possibility of a threat posed by the Imperial Remnant under any circumstances. He shoots down any and all evidence to the contrary and manipulates his cohorts on the Senate Committee’s fear of another war to ensure they follow his ideology. Even when multiple witnesses can testify to how Ahsoka went after Morgan Elsbeth, he derides it as fairy tale nonsense.

* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: Hamato sees the First Order, an organization risen from the ashes of the Galactic Empire, as something that can be negotiated with to avoid further bloodshed and calls the Resistance an extremist paramilitary terrorist organization.[[note]]Not unfounded, since the Resistance itself is founded by Leia and was made up of various heroes of the Rebellion and some people of the New Republic’s military who felt their government wasn’t doing anything to combat the First Order, which was building up its strength to avenge the Empire[[/note]] It takes the destruction of Hosnian Prime, an event that happened [[spoiler:while he was offworld]] to realize his error. ''Series/{{Ahsoka}}'' reveals that he never participated in the Galactic Civil War, which explains his misguided belief of negotiating with the First Order. He still dosne't participate when his son contacts him, knowing it will put the family in danger.

* FantasticRacism: He hates droids or claims to hate them if it serves his cause, as when Threepio arrives to help Hera at her hearing, he loudly protests that anybody listen to a "mere droid".

* KickTheDog: Hamato voices his viciously rude opinion about Ezra Bridger being dead alongside Grand Admiral Thrawn to Hera, one of her friends in the ''Ghost'' Crew, just to deny her resources in stopping the Eye of Sion's construction and to spite her. He only gets worse in his next appearance when he fights hard to punish Hera for going after Morgan Elsbeth.

* FormerTeenRebel: Played with. ''Rogue One''''s novelization mentions that when she was fifteen she rebelled against her parents by...deciding to become a historian instead of entering politics like they did. The next year however, she changed her mind and became a politician after all, because she found that she actually really enjoyed governing.

* JockDadNerdSon: An inversion. He disapproves of his son's decision to become a racer and a pilot instead of going into politics, but reluctantly decided to help him do so by helping him get into the Flight Academy and New Republic Navy. He also disapproves of Kaz being with the Resistance, deeming them as extremists.

* DirtyCoward: Hera accuses him of being one during the Galactic Civil War, refusing to take a side until the Rebellion triumphed. He actually doesn’t respond to this accusation implying there’s some truth to it.

* HateSink: In ''Ahsoka'', he is the face of the New Republic’s complacency and refusal to acknowledge the threat of the Imperial Remnant, frustrating audience members who’ve already seen how wrong he is given the events of the Sequel Trilogy. He goes a step further by developing an unhealthy hatred for Hera Syndulla, eager to punish her for disobeying orders, taunting her that Ezra is dead, and showboating at her hearing about how he’s going to delight in sending her to a court-martial.

He only gets worse in his next appearance when he fights hard to punish Hera for going after Morgan Elsbeth.

* {{Hypocrite}}: In one of her first appearances in ''Bloodlines'', she espouses the virtues of being a member of the nobility and the importance of oaths. Yet, when she assumes her position as Supreme Governor of Birren, she almost immediately breaks her oath of office to snoop in a keepsake box belonging to House Organa, discovering Bail's secret message to Leia and later leaking the secret she learned to the galaxy in a blatant violation of the Royal Seal, which she is honour bound to keep.

* ObstructionistPacifist: He refuses to entertain the idea of the remaining Imperials being threats and aggressively tries to bring down Hera for trying to investigate them. Convincing the Committee to not send aid to help stop the ''Eye of Scion'' simply helps the Remnant go after Thrawn.

* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: His role in ''Ahsoka'' is similar to the one Borsk Fey'lya played in the ''Legends'' [[Literature/TheThrawnTrilogy the Thrawn Trilogy]], with both of them being insufferable SmugSnake {{Obstructive Bureacrat}}s who cause problems for the heroes despite nominally being on the same side.
