"What's your name? I don't want to just keep calling you Jedi."
"Loden Greatstorm."
"Loden…Greatstorm? By the Path, that's too perfect. It's truly a great pleasure to meet you, my friend. I think we will accomplish wonderful things together."

―Marchion Ro and Loden Greatstorm^[src]

Loden Greatstorm was a Twi'lek male Jedi Master who was part of the Jedi Order during the High Republic Era and was considered one of the best teachers of the Order. Greatstorm saw every moment as a learning experience and sought to better himself and those around him, especially Padawans. He was considered strong and wise and considered to have a great sense of humor. He wielded a yellow lightsaber.^[2]

Biography[edit | edit source]

The Great Disaster[edit | edit source]

Loden Greatstorm and his Padawan Bell Zettifar were present during the rescue effort in Hetzal system. When they were attacked by marauders, Loden lifted the marauders into the air and dropped them to injure them.^[3]

Elphrona Outpost[edit | edit source]

In the aftermath of the Great Disaster, Greatstorm and his Padawan went to Elphrona, where they were stationed at a Jedi outpost along with Indeera Stokes and Porter Engle. When the Jedi on Elphrona discovered that the Blythe family was kidnapped, they chased the Nihil raiders who kidnapped them. Greatstorm and Zettifar were able to save the mother and Loden protected her when the Nihil ship began firing at them. When Stokes showed up with two Vectors, they began pursuing the enemy. Greatstorm used the mind trick to force the Nihil pilot to slow her ship and open air lock, so they could get inside the ship and save the family. Stokes was able to save the son, but Loden's Vector was destroyed by incoming Nihil ships and he wasn't able to escape with the father.^[3]

After being captured by the Nihil, Loden was locked in a cell on Gaze Electric, where Marchion Ro set up special cells to imprison Greatstorm.^[3]

Powers and abilities[edit | edit source]

As a Force-sensitive Jedi Master, Greatstorm had a strong ability to wield the Force.^[3]

Greatstorm was skilled with telekinesis, exemplified when he saved his Padawan, Bell Zettifar, from a large fall by levitating him to safety. Additionally, he could also re-direct explosives, diverting a deadly splinter grenade into the air, to save civilians from marauders. Greatstorm was able to levitate and manipulate multiple enemies at once, lifting eight armed marauders high into the air, disarming them, then dropping them, severely injured. He was also capable of powerful Force pushes, blowing apart a large metal gate, ripping it from the hinges and breaking the locks.^[3]

Greatstorm could also use the Force to influence minds. He demonstrated this by forcing the Nihil pilot Ultident Margrona to slow her ship and open the outer air lock.^[3]

Equipment[edit | edit source]

Loden Greatstorm wore cream-and-gold Jedi robes. He wielded a yellow-single-bladed lightsaber.^[3]
