From the Movies
Toonbuck Toora was a hulking Senator from Sy Myrth in the waning days of the Republic. She held the office during Chancellor Valorum's tenure, as well as serving ten years into Palpatine's rule. Toora's interests fell more onto the business end of the political spectrum, and she sided with the engines of commerce during partisan issues that split the Senate.
From the Expanded Universe
Toora entered the Senate as an idealistic crusader, only to become corrupted by the riches offered her in the Galactic Core. Crafty and non-confrontational, Toora was content to hoard wealth by exploiting loopholes in the system, rather than by challenging those more powerful than herself. Rich beyond her dreams, Toora swathed herself in expensive clothes and kept a loyal consort as a symbol of her power.
Behind the Scenes
"Toonbuck Toora is this huge, quite hairy senator who is named after a dog belonging to this guy who runs my foam rubber shop. He just walked past the door, and I said, 'Come on, give me a name.' He said, 'Toonbuck Toora.' I said, 'What's that?' He said, 'It's my mate's dog.'" -- Nick Dudman, Live Action Animatronics Effects Supervisor, Episode I.
