Coleman Trebor/Legends

Coleman Trebor (62 BBY – 22 BBY) was a Vurk Jedi Master from Sembla. Due to Yarael Poof's death, Master Trebor was invited to a seat on the Jedi High Council. Master Trebor considered himself to be more of a diplomat than a fighter, and was known for peacefully settling a number of interplanetary disputes. Though capable of aggressive negotiation, he preferred words over action. Upon joining the Jedi Council, he tried to cooperate with the galactic media, something the council usually refrained from doing. As one of the official spokesbeings for the Jedi Order, Trebor was revered for his wisdom. He mediated the debates over the taking of 'Baby Ludi', and the introduction of Jedi TradeChips with HoloNet News reporters.

Like many of his peers from the High Council, Master Trebor fought at the Battle of Geonosis. In unparalleled heroism, he attempted to attack Count Dooku alone, even though the Count was said to vastly surpass his lightsaber skills. It would not come to a duel, however - Trebor was shot several times by Jango Fett and fell from the Archduke's box to his death. After the Battle of Geonosis, Kit Fisto replaced Coleman on the Jedi Council.



Behind the Scenes
The courageous Coleman Trebor remains the favorite Jedi of many fans (including his namesake Rob Coleman). However, those fans who are not aware of his diplomatic nature disdain him for the way he died. It is a fact that those on the Council need not be good swordsmen.

He was completely computer-generated by Industrial Light and Magic, and is seen both in the Jedi Temple and at the Battle of Geonosis. His headcrest was apparently modelled on the resonating chamber-horns found in fossilized hadrosaur remains.
