Sha'a Gi

Sha’a Gi was a Human from Ord Biniir and Jedi Padawan to Daakman Barrek. He was a Commander during the Clone Wars.

Biography
A combat-weak Jedi, Gi lacked the sufficient self-confidence to develop his Force abilities into strong Jedi skills. Instead, Gi proved to be a proficient slicer and aspired to join the librarians of the Jedi Archives after proving himself worthy of the Jedi Order. Barrek had faith in Gi, and Gi found his confidence bolstered by Barrek’s presence. As a result, the pair operated as a successful intelligence team in the Outer Rim, tracking criminal, smuggler and pirate activity.

When Barrek and Gi discovered the Confederacy’s droid factories on Hypori, a Republic unit was dispatched and tasked with its destruction. Barrek and Gi joined the team of Jedi and clone troopers. The resulting Battle of Hypori was a failure for the Republic forces, and a massacre for their Jedi leaders. General Grievous ambushed the unit, and his droids quickly cut the task force down to size. After witnessing the death of Barrek at the hands of Grievous, Gi was filled with panic and fear. Fleeing into the open, Commander Gi drew the attention of Grievous, who shredded and crushed the young Padawan with his metallic frame.
