Eon

"&hellip; Master&hellip; Rivi-Anu saved us&mdash;"

- Eon, to Ki-Adi-Mundi regarding Rivi-Anu's sacrifice to save them

Eon was a male Jedi Knight serving the Jedi Order and Galactic Republic during the Clone Wars, a galaxy-wide conflict between the Republic and the Confederacy of Independant Systems. In 19 BBY, Eon was promoted to the rank of Jedi Knight, due to the Republic's increasing need for Knights in the war. During that same year, he was placed under the command of Jedi Master and General Ki-Adi-Mundi, and dispatched to the planet Mygeeto along with the Republic troopers under their leadership to attack a Separatist base on the planet. During the battle, Eon and his fellow Jedi managed to force the Separatists into retreat. A Venator-class Star Destroyer was disabled, and began to plummet towards the planet's surface, endangering the lives of the Republic troops on the battlefield. One of Eon's fellow Knights, Rivi-Anu, used the Force to delay the ship's crash, enabling Eon and his allies to escape to a safe distance. After Rivi-Anu lost control over the Star Destroyer and was crushed by the ship as it finished its descent to the surface, Eon and Mundi acknowledged Rivi-Anu's self-sacrifice.

Biography
The humanoid male Eon was born during the final decades of the Galactic Republic. He was trained in the ways of the Force by the Jedi Order. In 19 BBY, during the Clone Wars&mdash;a galaxy-wide conflict between the Republic and the Confederacy of Independent Systems&mdash;Eon was promoted to the rank of Jedi Knight, because of the Republic's increasing need for Knights in the war. During that same year, Eon, along with the Jedi Rivi-Anu, a Twi'lek Jedi, and a Human Jedi, was placed under Jedi Master and General Ki-Adi-Mundi's command. Eon and his fellow Jedi were dispatched to the planet Mygeeto during the Republic's sieges in the Outer Rim Territories to combat forces of the Separatist Droid Army. Eon and his fellow Jedi related their concerns about their status as Knights to Rivi-Anu, who spoke with Mundi about the issue.

Eventually, Eon participated in a battle alongside Ki-Adi-Mundi and his fellow Jedi against the Separatists. As they were pushing their enemies into retreat, a Republic Venator-class Star Destroyer which had been crippled by the Separatists plunged down through the atmosphere, threatening the forces on the surface. Eon, his fellow Jedi, and the forces under their command retreated to safety when Mundi ordered them to retreat, as Rivi-Anu used the Force to delay the ship's plummet from orbit. After Eon and his allies successfully reached safety, Rivi-Anu lost control of the ship, causing it to crush her when it crashed on the surface. After her death, both Eon and Mundi noted Rivi-Anu's self-sacrifice.

Personality and traits
Eon was a humanoid male who had mottled brown skin and black eyes. He wore a set of brown Jedi robes, and used a lightsaber containing a blue crystal.

Behind the scenes
Eon was introduced in the short story To the Vanishing Point, which was one of four stories compiled in the sixth volume of the Clone Wars Adventures trade paperbacks. The character was created and drawn by Matthew and Shawn Fillbach. He received an entry in The Complete Star Wars Encyclopedia. In To the Vanishing Point, the battle in which Eon participated in was supposed to have taken place on a different world from Mygeeto. However, The Complete Star Wars Encyclopedia authors established in Rivi-Anu's entry that the events of the story took place on Mygeeto.
