- "Through the Force, a Jedi can endure even the most debilitating pain. Remember the Battle of Nar Shaddaa. Master Crucitorn fought on even after being immolated by the Flame-Wielders."
- ―Dooku, to Qui-Gon Jinn
The Battle of Nar Shaddaa took place by 68 BBY on[1] the moon[3] Nar Shaddaa, in which Jedi Master Crucitorn of the Jedi Order fought against the Flame-Wielders. Crucitorn became immolated by the Flame-Wielders, but endured the pain and continued to fight back.[2] In 68 BBY,[1] Jedi Master Dooku mentioned those events when explaining to his Padawan, Qui-Gon Jinn, why learning how to use the Force to endure physical pain was fundamental for a Jedi.[2]
Dooku later told his sister, Jenza, about his conversation with Jinn in a holo-letter.[2] Around 23 BBY,[4] Dooku gave several data disks containing his messages to Jenza to his recently recruited Sith assassin—Asajj Ventress—for her investigation into his sister's location, and she listened to the holo-disk that mentioned the Battle of Nar Shaddaa.[2]
