"Grand Master of the Jedi Order and leader of the Jedi Council, Satele Shan was born on the Core World of Brentaal Four and is descended from legendary Jedi Bastila Shan. Both a gifted warrior and wise teacher, Satele was personally responsible for rediscovering Tython and its hyperspace route. Ever since, she has devoted herself to the Jedi resettlement of Tython and the revitalization of the order. Satele has played a key role in recent galactic history in other ways, as well. She fought on the front lines of several major battles–including the battles of Alderaan and Rhen Var–and was present as a Padawan during the Imperial retaking of Korriban, the first modern contact between the Sith Empire and the Republic. She is greatly respected by certain members of the Republic military, and her advice is often sought by the Supreme Chancellor. In person, Satele’s strength in the Force is matched with a keen intelligence and a subtle sense of humor."
Yoda was first introduced in The Empire Strikes Back as an eccentric hermit, a great teacher with extensive knowledge of the Force. The Prequel Trilogy established him as one of the most powerful Jedi Masters in history and a leader of the Jedi Order. Though he appears small, frail, and old, Yoda is a master of the Force and of lightsaber combat, having had over 900 years to hone his skills.
Obi-Wan Kenobi was a Jedi Knight who was instructed by Qui-Gon Jinn and himself taught Anakin Skywalker. Both Kenobi and Anakin fought in the Clone Wars which led to Anakin turning to the dark side and betraying the order. Obi-Wan hid on the planet Tatooine where he watched over Anakin's son Luke, whom he began training to be a Jedi.
Anakin Skywalker (41.9 BBY—4 ABY) was a Jedi Knight and General of the Galactic Republic and the Grand Army of the Republic during the Clone Wars. He was discovered on Tatooine by Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn at the age of nine, and was trained in the ways of Force by Obi-Wan Kenobi. During his training, he was slowly swayed to the dark side by his own arrogance and recklessness, as well as by Darth Sidious. He eventually took on the mantle of Dark Lord of the Sith, becoming Darth Vader shortly before the formation of the Galactic Empire. |
