- "As stars are born and die, so does time move forward. Relentlessly so. And yet we fight. We will never stop fighting for the light and life in this galaxy."
- ―Creighton Sun
Creighton Sun was a human male Jedi Master who lived during the High Republic Era. A virtuous and traditional Jedi, Sun had a reputation of being unsociable.
Biography[]
Sun and Porter Engle flew a shuttle to Daedus and were shot down by pirates. He managed to crash-land the ship and fought the marauders who had downed them.[7]
In 382 BBY,[1] he along with fellow master Char-Ryl-Roy, Jedi Knight Gella Nattai and Padawan Enya Keen traveled about the Valiant on a relief mission to the planet Eiram, which was at war with E'ronoh. After helping to negotiate peace between the two planets,[3] Sun traveled to the sacred moon Jedha with Jedi Knight Aida Forte to help oversee a summit where the the planets were to sign a treaty. However the summit failed and erupted into the Battle of Jedha, with Sun leading the Guardians of the Whills and the Jedi in the battle. Sun called in Jedi reinforcements and single-handedly convinced the Eirami and E'roni troops to stop fighting.[8]
After the battle, Sun traveled to the planet Dalna with Forte to investigate the Path of the Open Hand cult, which was believed to have had a hand in inciting the Battle of Jedha. Once there, the Path attacked Sun, Forte, and many other Jedi that were there, which erupted into the Night of Sorrow, a horrific and devastating battle. In the battle, Sun encountered creatures that preyed upon Force-sensitives, causing many to be weakened and experience awful hallucinations, and turning many Jedi to dust. He and Grand Master Yoda decided to keep information about the creatures out of the Jedi Archive so that they could not be used against the Order. Sun took Enya Keen as his Padawan after her master, Char-Ryl-Roy, perished in the Night of Sorrow.[6]
Personality and traits[]
Creighton Sun was a human male with dark-brown eyes[3] and dark hair that eventually began to become gray. Sun was a virtuous Jedi Master. He was fairly traditional, which earned him a reputation of being unsociable and it took some effort to get to know him. Though when he opened up, he had quite the sense of humor.[5] He was often cynical and saw the worst in things though he tried not to.[8]
Equipment[]
Sun carried a blue-bladed crossguard lightsaber[3] and used a comlink.[6]
