- Bodo Baas

Bodo Baas was a male Krevaaki Jedi Master.

Life as a Jedi
Bodo Baas was descended from Jedi Master Vodo-Siosk Baas. Baas was trained in the ways of the Jedi by a master who had lived since approximately 1,000 BBY. Around 600 BBY, Baas was one of a group of Jedi who lived and served in the Adega system. In time he became a Jedi Master and inherited the Tedryn Holocron, a holocron that had once belonged to Vodo-Siosk and had been passed down through generations of Jedi.

Baas added his own stories, including the death of his ancestor Vodo-Siosk and the rise and fall of the Dark Lord of the Sith Darth Ruin, to the wealth of knowledge in the holocron. By recording his personality into the holocron, Baas became its primary Gatekeeper, an interactive holographic guide to the holocron that could transmit the knowledge contained within and behaved as Baas would.

Gatekeeper of the holocron
Baas lived for almost six hundred years afterwards, and his knowledge in the Tedryn Holocron continued to be of use to the Jedi over the course of his life. Baas' words were even listened to by the Jedi Council, warning them of the dangers inherent in training new Jedi.

When the Great Jedi Purge began in 19 BBY, the newly risen Galactic Emperor Palpatine had Baas executed. Palpatine eventually seized control of the Tedryn Holocron, though he was unable to access the deepest levels, accessible only to Jedi Masters dedicated to the light.

In 10 ABY, New Republic member Leia Organa Solo confronted Palpatine on his throne world of Byss, where she stole the Tedryn Holocron. Returning to her husband's ship, the Millennium Falcon, Solo activated the holocron and listened as Baas told the tale of the fallen Jedi Ulic Qel-Droma. She later accessed the holocron to ask Baas of the future of her brother, Luke Skywalker. Though Baas stated that the Force could allow one to view the future, he was unable to divine Skywalker's, finding it cloaked in shadow.

Baas provided much more information to the Jedi, including the tale of Dark Lord of the Sith Exar Kun. In 11 ABY the spirit of Kun destroyed the Tedryn Holocron, and with it Baas' gatekeeper persona. However, information from the holocron, including the words of Baas, were preserved by Jedi archivist Tionne Solusar, who in 40 ABY compiled it and other information into a compendium on the Jedi and Sith.

Old Biography
Bodo Baas was a part of a group of Jedi in the Adega system who lived around 600 BBY. He was instructed by a much older Jedi. When he became a Jedi Master, he inherited a holocron which he used for recording stories, his own as well as those of other Jedi. Every holocron had a "Gatekeeper," and so Bodo became the Gatekeeper of his holocron.



Master Baas once found a belt that later became known simply as the Belt of Master Bodo Baas. After Baas' demise the belt was passed down through various members of the Jedi Order.

Centuries later, Jedi Master Ashka Boda came into possession of the belt and the holocron of Bodo Baas. During the Great Jedi Purge, Emperor Palpatine executed Master Boda and captured the holocron. Palpatine possibly used the secrets in the holocron to cheat death with the dark side and cloning technology, and he recorded some of the Jedi secrets in his writing named The Book of Anger.

After the second Death Star was destroyed, Leia Organa Solo found Bodo Baas's holocron when she confronted the reborn Emperor on Byss. When Leia escaped, leaving Luke Skywalker to finish off the clone, she activated the holocron on board the Millennium Falcon and listened to Bodo's version of the downfall of Ulic Qel-Droma. Later she used the holocron again to ask about Luke's future, but Bodo revealed that it was too cloaked in mists and shadows to tell.

Later, Luke Skywalker learned from the holocron that ancient Jedi artifacts were possibly located on Ossus. Before heading out with Kam Solusar to investigate, Kam also encountered the holocron. Rather unimpressed with the small cube, he was taken aback when it sensed him and activated. The image of Baas gave some cryptic wisdom, and instructed Kam and his fellow Jedi to have patience.

Bodo was descended from Vodo-Siosk Baas who had also been a Jedi Master, a holocron's Gatekeeper, and the trainer of Exar Kun.
