Saesee Tiin/Legends



Saesee Tiin is a member of the Jedi Council from the prequel trilogy. He is a Jedi Master even though he had (according to the Expanded Universe) never been known to take a Padawan learner. Saesee Tiin was mistakenly reported to have been killed during the Battle of Geonosis - this error was later attributed to the confusion of wartime journalism.

In The Phantom Menace, Tiin appears as a tall, brown skinned humanoid with horns reaching down from each side of his head to his shoulders. In the Expanded Universe, Tiin is identified as a member of the Iktotchi race with telepathic abilities and superb Force-enhanced piloting skills, including the ability to navigate hyperspace jumps without the assistance of a navigational computer. He is seen with the Jedi Council and as a mourner at Qui-Gon Jinn's funeral on Naboo.

Attack of the Clones sees Saesee Tiin as a participant in the Battle of Geonosis, the opening battle of the Clone Wars.

In Revenge of the Sith, Saesee Tiin is one of the Jedi that move to arrest chancellor Palpatine when Anakin Skywalker informs the Jedi Council of the senate leader's true identity as the Sith Lord Darth Sidious. He dies seconds after confronting the vastly superior Sith Lord.
