The forces of the new Empire were aware that Arana had survived Order 66 and featured the Jedi Master ' s image in the of HoloNet News . Arana eventually made his way back to Coruscant and joined the crowds at the base of the Jedi Temple . He watched as Imperial stormtroopers burned the bodies of deceased Jedi at the Temple entrance and witnessed a male Jedi attack the stormtroopers at the entrance . He and the other Jedi in the crowd — Shadday Potkin , Dass Jennir , Kai Hudorra , and the Padawan Noirah Na — did not join the Jedi in his attack on the stormtroopers and instead watched as the man was killed by their blaster fire .

He secretly rendezvoused with Jedi Masters Tsui Choi , Roblio Darté , Jastus Farr , Ma ' kis ' shaalas , Shadday Potkin , and Jedi Knights Bultar Swan and Sia - Lan Wezz in an abandoned spice mine .

As Arana and his fellow Jedi prepared for battle , Vader stormed the room and demanded to know where Kenobi was . Arana and the Jedi engaged Vader in combat .

The Sith Lord continued to fight the Jedi , using Potkin ' s blade to deactivate Arana ' s , Farr ' s , and Darté ' s lightsabers . However , Choi managed to slice off Vader ' s cybernetic sword arm . The Dark Lord feigned surrender , and Arana implored the Masters to end his life . Swan stopped Arana , however , reminding him that because they were Jedi , they did not murder unarmed enemies who had surrendered . Arana countered that Vader needed to die and ordered Swan to give her lightsaber to him . Swan pleaded with him to not give in to his anger , but Arana seized Swan ' s weapon , stabbing and murdering her in order to take the lightsaber . Choi was shocked that Arana had killed Swan , and Arana vowed to avenge the death of Swan and the other Jedi . Arana then leaped at Vader with the ignited lightsaber , but the Dark Lord used the Force to throw his severed arm , still holding the cortosis blade , at the Jedi ' s chest , which impaled and killed him . After Arana ' s death , Vader defeated Choi , Farr , and Darté with assistance from the 501st Legion of stormtroopers .

He advocated killing the Sith Lords , feeling that any weapon should be used — even the dark side of the Force — if it meant saving the galaxy from the Sith . During the Jedi ' s ambush of Darth Vader on Kessel , the Sith Lord attempted to surrender himself to the group of Jedi , but Arana immediately demanded that the Jedi kill Vader . When Bultar Swan disagreed and refused to surrender her lightsaber so that he could eliminate Vader , Arana murdered Swan with her own lightsaber , stating that he would take whatever weapon he needed to kill Vader . He was determined to avenge Swan and the other dead Jedi but was slain by the Dark Lord . During the final year of the Clone Wars , Arana wore a set of brown Jedi robes .
