Because Bouri's brain was so evolved, Tiin found himself faced with something completely new: a brain he couldn't understand. Master Bouri was unique himself, as he communicated through phonemic energy pulses with syntactic contours in a magnetic field that he controlled with his tongue. Īfter graduating from the academy, Tiin accepted Bouri's offer of apprenticeship and became a Padawan.

As Tiin learned to home in on particular minds, he came to the attention of the Wol Cabasshite Jedi Councilor, Master Omo Bouri. Because of his unique abilities, Tiin was shunned by his peers and became extremely reclusive. Tiin would admit, however, that his abilities gave him an edge during lightsaber combat training as his opponents unwittingly revealed their strategy through their thoughts. While they believed these powers gave him an unfair advantage at the academy, Tiin believed it was more of a hindrance as he had yet to learn to control his abilities. Raised within the Jedi Temple, Tiin found it embarrassing when his natural telepathic abilities were ridiculed by his peers. When scouts from the Jedi Order identified the young boy as a Force-sensitive, he was turned over to the Order for training at the academy on Coruscant. Tiin's death on Coruscant in 19 BBY alongside that of Mace Windu, Kit Fisto and Agen Kolar to Darth Sidious marked the start of the Great Jedi Purge and Order 66.īorn on the moon of Iktotch, Saesee Tiin was introduced to piloting during his youngest years, appearing to be a natural pilot.

Tiin was a starfighter instructor for younglings, where he taught many younglings the basics of flying.

Because of the battering winds of the moon, Tiin's species had adapted toughened skin and blunt features.

Some time after that, he and other Jedi tracked down the terrorist Nebula Front movement to their base on Asmeru. Tiin fought in the Stark Hyperspace War in 44 BBY during the fifth battle on Qotile and also participated in the Yinchorri Uprising of 33 BBY. Never choosing to take a Padawan himself, Tiin took the rank of Jedi General in the Grand Army of the Republic during the Clone Wars. Having apprenticed under the esteemed Jedi Master Omo Bouri, Tiin rarely spoke and kept to himself. Saesee Tiin was a male Iktotchi Jedi Master and a member of the Jedi High Council in the last days of the Galactic Republic. And my strength has never failed me." ―Saesee Tiin
