Saesee Tiin
taken from the comic Republic #65
this Iktotchi Jedi Master was born on the moon of Iktotch, where he learned to
fly a variety of starships. Over time, after discovering his ability with the Force
and being trained as a Jedi under the tutelage of Master Omo Bouri, Tiin could
instinctively fly virtually any craft. He was known in the Old Republic military as
an excellent dogfighter, but was also something of a loner who preferred
solitary contemplation over crowded meetings. Saesee Tiin was also one of the
few Jedi Masters who never took a Padawan to train. Saesee Tiin served on
the Jedi Council at the time when Qui-Gon Jinn petitioned to have Anakin
Skywalker trained as a Jedi, and was known on the Coucil for his foresight and
his ability to foresee the future. After the Battle of Naboo, Master Tiin was
able to recover Darth Maul's Sith Infiltrator from Naboo, and spent many
hours examining its unusual systems. During the height of the Clone Wars, it
was Master Tiin who encouraged Anakin to continue the development of a
personalized Delta-7 Aethersprite fighter, despite Obi-Wan Kenobi's concern
that Anakin viewed the ship as a possession. Master Tiin, however, was
hoping that Anakin's innate ability to repair, modify, and improve technology
would result in new improvements to the Delta-7 that might give the Jedi an
edge in the battle. The pair again worked together near the end of the Clone
Wars, when they accompanied Plo Koon to Rendili to ensure that the planet's
fleet of Dreadnaughts was not turned over to the Separatists. Their orders to
secure the fleet or destroy it, a stance that led the crew of the Mersel Kebir to
mutiny and attempt to remain at Rendili. When Master Koon was taken
hostage, Master Tiin was forced to act to destroy the fleet. Anakin then
proposed a desparate plan to disable the Dreadnaughts without bloodshed,
and Master Tiin was unsure how to proceed. The appearance of Obi-Wan
Kenobi and Quinlan Vos allowed him to give Anakin his chance. Young
Skywalker's plan succeeded, and the Jedi were able to put an end to the siege
over Rendili. As the Clone Wars began to wind down after the First Battle of
Coruscant, Master Tiin was among the group of Jedi Masters who
accompanied Mace Windu to arrest Chancellor Palpatine, after it was learned
that he had finally been revealed as Darth Sidious. However, the Jedi were
unprepared for Palpatine's powers, and Saesee Tiin was quickly killed during
the fighting, leaving Mace Windu to face Palpatine alone.
