Tiplee

Tiplee was a red-skinned female Jedi Master who, along with her sister Tiplar, served the Jedi Order and the Galactic Republic during the Clone Wars. Tiplee and her sister were commissioned as Jedi Generals in the Grand Army of the Republic, and the two fought in the Ringo Vinda campaign. During the campaign, Tiplar was murdered by clone trooper CT-5385, nicknamed "Tup," after a malfunction in the clone's bio-chip that triggered a premature activation of Clone Protocol 66. Tiplee was present at the time and watched her sister die.

Later in the war, Tiplee was part of the Jedi team investigating the aftermath of a battle between Darth Maul's Shadow Collective and the Confederacy of Independent Systems on Ord Mantell. Along with Obi-Wan Kenobi, Tiplee led an assault on a Mandalorian supply outpost where Maul was hiding. During the fight, Tiplee was killed by Count Dooku, who had formed an alliance with Darth Maul.

Early life
Tiplee became a member of the Jedi Order along with her sister, Tiplar. Both sisters achieved the rank of Jedi Master. During the Clone Wars, they served as Jedi Generals within the Grand Army of the Republic.

Ringo Vinda
"Sister!"

- Tiplee, as Tup murders Tiplar

During the war, Tiplee and her sister fought in the campaign at Ringo Vinda, fighting to take the orbital space station from the Confederacy of Independent Systems. Along with Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker, the two Jedi sisters led the clone troopers under their command against the battle droid forces of Admiral Trench. After several encounters, the Republic forces reached the communication center and captured it.

While preparing to conquer the command center, clone trooper CT-5385, nicknamed "Tup," underwent an unexpected malfunction in a secret bio-chip within his head; the chip, secretly implanted in all clones by the Sith during the cloning process, initiated Clone Protocl 66 sooner than the Sith intended, causing Tup to face mental lapses that left him agitated and confused. While in a trance, he snuck up behind Tipler and shot her to death. Tiplee watched as her sister was murdered, and Tiplar's death stalled Republic momentum. The Jedi and Republic forces apprehended Tup and retreated with him and Tiplar's body further back into the station.

Upon their return to their base, Tiplee mourned her sister while Skywalker interrogated Tup. Tiplee arrived to observe the interrogation, and Tup, still feeling the effects of the chip's malfunction, tried to attack her, despite being restrained. Tiplee quickly stopped him by using the Force to levitate him and hold Tup against the wall until he calmed down. She showed anger towards her sister's killer, but Skywalker was able to help her control her emotions and let Tup go. Tiplee was present in a medical bay where Tup was examined, and the clone stated he did not remember killing Tiplar. It was unclear what caused Tup to kill Tiplar, though Tiplee and the others suspected that the Separatists may have somehow developed an anti-clone virus. With no clear answers, Tup was sent to Kamino for examination. Tup died on Kamino, where his friend and fellow clone, CT-5555, discovered the Sith plot and why Tiplar had been killed. He was killed, however, before the Jedi and Tiplee could learn the truth about Order 66.

Search for Darth Maul
"Master Tiplee and I will investigate that outpost and see what comes scurrying out when we shine a light on it."

- Obi-Wan Kenobi

Later in the war, Tiplee was sent with fellow Jedi Obi-Wan Kenobi, Mace Windu, and Aayla Secura to investigate the aftermath of a battle between Darth Maul's Shadow Collective and the Separatists on Ord Mantell. The Jedi deduced that Maul, who captured Count Dooku and General Grievous on Ord Mantell, may have taken his prisoners to a nearby Mandalorian supply outpost. Kenobi and Tiplee were sent to investigate it and root out any Shadow Collective forces on the outpost. While en route, Tiplee expressed concern that Kenobi would have difficulty keeping his emotions in check, as Maul had murdered Kenobi’s close personal friend, Duchess Satine Kryze of Mandalore, but Kenobi assured her that he would be able to handle a confrontation with Maul.

When their Republic attack cruiser arrived in the asteroid field surrounding the outpost, Kenobi and Tiplee departed with their forces, and their gunships encountered Death Watch fighters. The team fought their way through and boarded the outpost, where they fought off Death Watch resistant. Maul and Dooku, who had formed an alliance, soon joined the fight, leading to a lightsaber duel between the four Force-wielding combatants. The two Jedi were joined by Windu and Secura.

During the fighting, Dooku used the Force to pull Tiplee towards him, stabbing her through the torso with his lightsaber and killing her. Death Watch forces incapacitated Windu and Secura, allowing the two Sith Lords to escape. Kenobi cradled Tiplee's body while he ordered the clones to pursue Maul and Dooku, but the Sith were able to escape.

Personality and traits
Tiplee was a red-skinned female of a humanoid species, with a blue tattoo that adorned her forehead. She was close with her sister, Tiplar, a fellow Jedi. Tiplee nearly lost control of her anger after Tiplar's death, pinning Tup against a wall using the Force. It was with Skywalker's help that Tiplee regained her control, despite still mourning her sister's death. Tiplee later expressed similar to concern to Kenobi, wondering if he would be able to confront Darth Maul, Duchess Kryze's killer, without losing control of his own emotions.

Powers and abilities
Tiplee had a mastery of the Force and, as a result, attained the rank of Jedi Master. Tiplee, as well as Tiplar, demonstrated her power during the Ringo Vinda campaign, when the twin sisters used the Force to push shielded droidekas off of their footing to allow clone troopers to destroy them.

Behind the scenes
Tiplee first appeared in "The Unknown," the first episode of The Lost Missions, the sixth and final season of the television series Star Wars: The Clone Wars. Tiplee, as well as her sister Tiplar, was portrayed by Anna Graves. The appearance of both sisters was based on a concept for an unused female Sith Lord designed by Iain McCaig for Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones. She went on to appear in the comic book Star Wars: Darth Maul&mdash;Son of Dathomir 3, released on July 16, 2014. The comic was based on unproduced scripts from Star Wars: The Clone Wars.
