Saesee Tiin was a male Iktotchi Jedi Master and Jedi Council member. Tiin served as a General in the Grand Army of the Republic during the Clone Wars. He was a renowned Jedi ace.An Iktotchi from Iktotch, the moon of Iktotchon, Saesee's toughened skin and blunt features were a result of his species' evolution to cope with the battering winds of their homeworld. Saesee also shared his species' natural telepathic ability.At an early age, Saesee's family realized that he had more than normal awareness and that he must have Force abilities. Before he was sent to Coruscant to be tested by the Jedi, however, Saesee Tiin had already become a pilot of higher-than-average ability. Piloting craft through the turbulent atmosphere of Iktotch, Saesee learned how to react to every twist and turn of the winds, to keep his craft stable. Saesee's flying practice also helped to hone his Force abilities.By the time he arrived at the Jedi Temple, he was already adept at channeling his Force connection. As he progressed in the Order, he was acknowledged as having one of the strongest Force abilities of all the Jedi. He was trained by the renowned Wol Cabasshite Master Omo Bouri. Bouri was responsible in part for Tiin's serious demeanor and extreme devotion to the Jedi. When Omo was lost on an ill-fated mission, it only served to make Saesee Tiin dedicate himself even more completely to the Jedi Order.Despite the importance of Tiin's master in his development, the Iktotchi Jedi accepted no Padawan of his own, making him one of the few Jedi promoted to master without having done so.Over the course of his distinguished career, Saesee fought in many battles and proved his worth both in the field and as an advisor within the Jedi Council. As early as 44 BBY, Tiin had joined the Jedi Council as a long-term member. It seemed the death of his master, Omo Bouri, who would later visit him as a Force ghost, had deeply affected Tiin. Shortly after his election to the Council, Saesee took part in the Stark Hyperspace Wara dangerous conflict in the Outer Rim Territories. A Jedi team had been sent to settle the dispute, but had been caught up in the fighting. With his telepathic abilities, Saesee was able to channel the Force of the rest of the Council and so communicate with the away team over vast distances. When it came to be a fighter attack against Iaco Stark's forces, Saesee, with his astonishing flying skills and firm leadership, was an obvious choice to command the fighter squadron. He led Red and Blue Squadrons to victory in the Fifth Battle of Qotile.Tiin died while assisting Mace Windu, Kit Fisto, and Agen Kolar in a failed attempt to arrest Chancellor Palpatine. Show less «
