Which is to say, a complete non-character in the films, who will need about ten years of expanded universe content written about him before we understand his capabilities.

I wouldn't put Lor's knowledge on par with Jocasta's, tbh.
Granted, his knowledge of the Force was certainly extensive...
-"In his travels, Lor San Tekka uncovered much of the history of the Jedi Knights that the Galactic Empire had tried so hard to erase."
-"Lor San Tekka uncovered many fragments of the ancient Jedi traditions that the Old Empire had worked so hard to destroy."
-"There's not a sacred site or Jedi ruin that Lor hasn't seen."
Additionally, Lor helped Luke track down ancient Jedi temples/artifacts after the fall of the Empire, and his knowledge of Jedi history also helped Luke reestablish the Order... Suffice to say, Lor knew a lot about the Jedi.
Jocasta, however, knew everything there was to know about both the Jedi/light side AND Sith/dark side(and that's according to Palpatine himself, who doesn't typically go around hyper-wanking Jedi.) Logically speaking, the only character in canon who would have known just as much as(and very likely more than) Jocasta, was Luke.

While we're on the subject- how do you guys think Minister Hydan compares to Jocasta Nu and Lor San Tekka in terms of their respective knowledge bases?
But he undoubtedly placed most of his emphasis on the Jedi/light side.
Hydan was an advisor to Palpatine himself, and also possessed an abundance of knowledge pertaining to the Force. When Palpatine discovered a possible gateway to TWBW, he specifically sent Hydan to research/examine it... Which is telling.
I'd say he and Lor are comparable in terms of the cumulative knowledge they held, though I might be inclined to put Hydan a bit higher on the totem pole(but that's just my opinion.)
Either way, I'd love to see a discussion between them.

They're standard droids left over from the Trade Federation.
They were just decorated/embellished by the Neimoidians to give them a more 'regal' appearance or w/e(the facility they were at was meant to be extremely high-end.)
