Echuu Shen-Jon

Echuu Shen-Jon was a Jedi Knight in the time of the Old Republic.

Biography
A former Padawan of Mace Windu, Echuu had taken a Padawan of his own, Stam Reath, before the outbreak of the Clone Wars. The master and his apprentice fought at the Battle of Geonosis, where they were assigned with the task of destroying several Trade Federation battleship cores. They succeeded, and were then ordered to pursue Count Dooku as he attempted to reach his hangar. Along the way they were intercepted by Sev'rance Tann, who quickly cut down Echuu's Padawan.

After the battle, Echuu slipped into depression. When Sev'rance reappeared from the shadows, taking Sarapin in a shock movement, the Jedi Council hurriedly assigned a new Padawan to Echuu&mdash;Naat Reath, Stam's sister.

Echuu quickly took back Sarapin, and tracked Sev'rance to Krant. Along the way, Naat was captured. Echuu did not heed the warnings of Master Windu as he slipped into the dark side, and his Padawan had begun to fall with him.

Finally, Echuu confronted Sev'rance alone in the heart of a CIS fortress. He bested her, taking revenge for Stam. He told his Padawan that he could no longer return to the order until he had meditated on his crimes against the Jedi code. He bade Naat return to the Jedi Council. This she did, but she never revealed Echuu's location.

Echuu survived in hiding through the Empire's Great Jedi Purge. He finally reemerged when Princess Leia crash landed on the world of Krant, shortly after the Battle of Yavin. Like Kenobi, it is probable he was waiting for a sign foretold by the Force. Perhaps Shen-Jon somehow knew the princess would arrive on the planet someday, but no one can ever be sure. There he aided her in her struggle against the Empire defending the cities of Krant.

Later, when Leia met with her Bothan spy, he was surprised to hear that the Imperials found the Vor'Na'Tu. He accompanied her to Geddes and found the artifact bt while he was returning to the shuttle, he met Darth Vader. Echuu refused to surrender the relic and destroyed it. He was then killed by Darth Vader.

Year's later, Echuu's spirit decided to warn Leia and Luke about it and urged them to return to the asteroid, now known as Hanoon and secure the Vor'Na'Tu once and for all.
