Koffi Arana

Koffi Arana (– 19 BBY) was a Human male Jedi Knight during the Clone Wars. At some point, he visited Tatooine.

He attended the briefing on the Outer Rim Sieges at the Jedi Temple where Obi-Wan Kenobi learned that Quinlan Vos had gone to Boz Pity. Koffi was sent, along with six other Jedi (four humans and two Nikto) as reinforcements to Boz Pity.

Koffi Arana was one of the few Jedi to survive Order 66. Sadly, his companion Jedi were less fortunate, slain on Boz Pity. Koffi's escape was known to the Empire, and published in HoloNet News. Unbeknownst to the Empire, Koffi returned to Coruscant shortly after Order 66 and joined the crowds at the base of the Jedi Temple.

He was one of eight Jedi summoned by Master Shadday to a secret meeting on Kessel to discuss the future of the Jedi Order. Arana advocated taking the fight to the Sith, a chance he got all too soon when the meeting was ambushed by Darth Vader. After losing his lightsaber, Koffi Arana slew fellow Jedi Bultar Swan for hers. In a fury, he flung himself at Vader, and was killed mid-leap by the Dark Lord.

Behind the scenes
Joe Corroney's depiction of Arana in Star Wars Insider 84 was originally identified as Qu Rahn, a similar-looking Jedi from the same time period. The name of the character was later changed to Koffi Arana, a reference to portraying actor Gervais Koffi.
