Kit Fisto

Kit Fisto was a Nautolan Jedi Master during the last years of the Galactic Republic. He was among the Jedi who participated in the Battle of Geonosis. He was one of the few survivors on Geonosis out of the 200 Jedi who traveled there to stop the separatists.

He became a Jedi General in the Clone Wars and took part in such conflicts as the Mission to Vassek's third moon and the Battle of Mon Calamari. He was also involved in a mission with his former Padawan Nahdar Vebb to capture the escaped prisoner, Nute Gunray, however, (unbeknownst to them prior to the mission) the two ended up facing the notorious Jedi hunter General Grievous inside his own lair. While Vebb perished at the hands of the General, Fisto very nearly bested him in combat, and escaped with his life, but without Gunray, ultimately making the mission a failure. Also during the Clone Wars he accepted a seat on the Jedi Council.

While he was at the Jedi Temple, Anakin Skywalker revealed to Mace Windu that Chancellor Sheev Palpatine was a Sith Lord. Windu and Fisto, alongside Jedi Masters Agen Kolar and Saesee Tiin flew to Palpatine's office to arrest him. In the following duel, after Kolar and Tiin had perished, Fisto was stabbed by the Chancellor.

Behind the scenes
Kit Fisto first appeared in Attack of the Clones. His character was designed by Dermot Power to be a Sith, but was changed to a Jedi when the film went in a different direction. Zac Jensen and ILMer Daniel Zizmor played Fisto in Attack of the Clones, but did not replay Fisto in Revenge of the Sith. The role went to stuntman Ben Cooke.

In the Star Wars: The Clone Wars TV series Kit Fisto was voiced by Phil LaMarr. His voice was inspired by the voice of "the 7-UP guy" from its television commercials. LaMarr voices the character with a Jamaican accent.
