Saesee Tiin

Saesee Tiin was a Jedi Master in service to the Galactic Republic.

The imposing Saesee Tiin was a member of the Jedi Council during the final years of the Republic. He served that noble assemblage during the commotion of the Sith's return surrounding the events of the Battle of Naboo. Tiin voyaged to Naboo to attend the funeral of fallen Jedi Qui-Gon Jinn, and the jubilant celebration that marked the liberation of that outlying world. Ten years after this event, Tiin was still an active member of the Jedi order.

Tiin was one of a group of Jedi Masters gathered together by Mace Windu to arrest Supreme Chancellor Palpatine. Palpatine refused to go quietly; he sprang forth, imbued with the power of the Force, and cut down Saesee Tiin, killing him quickly.

Tiin was a powerfully built humanoid male, with large hands and two down-sweeping horns surrounding his grim face.
