Vandar Tokare

Master Vandar Tokare was a Jedi Master and one of the Jedi Council members on Dantooine's Jedi Training Academy during the Jedi Civil War. Vandar was of the same race as Yoda, but possessed a different skin tone and did not share his peculiar speech patterns.

Biography
Before the onset of the Mandalorian Wars, Master Vandar discussed the abilities of the Jedi Exile with Master Vrook Lamar. Master Vandar saw the immense potential of the Exile and believed him to be a natural leader who would remain a Jedi, while Master Vrook saw the Exile as weak in the Force and believed he would eventually fall to the Dark Side.

Vandar is believed to have seen a vision of a horrible war, in which the galaxy would be placed in darkness. This is revealed by Bastila Shan on Taris. It is not known what exactly the small alien sees, but it was the vision that caused the Jedi Council not to act in the Mandalorian Wars.

It is also believed, at least by some, the true vision Vandar saw was that of the True Sith returning to Republic space. However, this is just speculation.

Master Vandar participated in the Battle of Rakata Prime, acting as an advisor alongside Admiral Forn Dodonna.

He was presumed killed by Darth Nihilus, as the Sith Lord used his powers to destroy all life on the planet of Katarr. But there was chance that the Jedi Master stayed away in hiding like Masters Kavar, Vrook and Zez-Kai Ell after realising the Jedi Order was too weak and scattered to fight this new Sith threat.

Behind the scenes
Vandar can also die if the player makes the Dark Side choice in the game. Vandar dies along with Admiral Forn Dodonna aboard a Republic capital ship, destroyed by Sith fighters.

Vandar is voiced by veteran voice actor Tom Kane, who has done the voice of Yoda in several video games and the popular mini-series, Clone Wars.
