Zett Jukassa/Legends

Zett Jukassa (29 BBY – 19 BBY) was a Human Jedi Padawan from Mon Gazza.

While Obi-Wan Kenobi searched for the planet Kamino in the Jedi Archives, Jukassa was the Youngling that walked up to Jocasta Nu to ask a question after Obi-Wan Kenobi spoke to her.

He continued his training as a Jedi throughout the Clone Wars, and was present in the temple during the last days of the war.

During the Clone Wars, Jukassa gained the title of Padawan and was assigned to an unknown master.

Jukassa fell in combat against a detachment of the 501st Legion when it attacked the Jedi Temple under the leadership of Darth Vader. He had almost made an escape towards the landing platform, and a civilian speeder owned by Senator Bail Organa of Alderaan. He felled a number of clones, defending himself using the simple first form of lightsaber combat, but was shot to death mere seconds before he could escape.

His actions however, warned Senator Organa that the Jedi were about to be extinguished. Only because of Zett's sacrifice was Organa able to use the Tantive IV to search for survivors of the Great Jedi Purge, and rescue Yoda and Obi-Wan Kenobi.
