Ferus Olin Ferus Olin was the Human Jedi Padawan of Jedi Master Siri Tachi . Considered very mature for his age by many Jedi , Olin was well - respected for his dedication to the Jedi Order . He often clashed with fellow Padawan learner Anakin Skywalker , who disagreed with his strict adherence to Jedi rules and protocol . The two and their masters , Tachi and Obi - Wan Kenobi , often worked together on missions , traveling to such varied worlds as Radnor , Euceron , Andara , Typha - Dor , Romin , Falleen , and finally , Korriban . Many of these missions were orchestrated with the goal of capturing the escaped scientist and criminal Jenna Zan Arbor , who the Jedi later discovered was working with Granta Omega , the murderer of the Jedi Council member Yaddle . However , Zan Arbor consistently eluded them . Shortly before the onset of the Clone Wars , Olin resigned from the Jedi Order due to the guilt he felt over the inadvertent death of fellow Padawan Darra Thel - Tanis on Korriban , where Omega was finally killed in battle with Kenobi present . Eventually , he befriended Roan Lands on Bellassa , and the two started a business together — Olin and Lands . Olin and Lands would produce fake , brand - new identities for anyone that wanted to escape from the empire . Olin grew fond enough of Bellassa to adopt it as his homeworld . Soon after the execution of Order 66 , Olin founded a rebel organization on Bellassa in opposition to the Galactic Empire , newly in control of the galaxy . He would later retrain himself in the Jedi ways with the aid of Obi - Wan Kenobi , one of the few Jedi to survive the Great Jedi Purge . Olin also created a safehouse for fugitive Jedi on an asteroid hidden within an atmospheric storm . Here he would begin to form the early stages of the Alliance to Restore the Republic . During his search for Jedi refugees from the Empire , he was blackmailed into aiding Emperor Palpatine , but would act as a double - agent , seeking information and attempting to undermine the Empire from the inside , eventually confronting Darth Vader himself . His resistance movement spanned the galaxy from Bellassa , Acherin , Coruscant , Naboo , Samaria to Alderaan as well as other planets . This lasted until the Empire thwarted his plans for early rebellion by destroying his secret asteroid base . He eventually accepted a mission from Obi - Wan to watch over Princess Leia Organa on Alderaan where he would reside for many years until Darth Vader killed him a year after that planet was completely destroyed . Biography . Jedi apprentice . The Evacuation of Radnor . Olin first worked closely with Anakin Skywalker in 27 BBY during a mission to evacuate the planet Radnor when the release of a deadly airborn toxin left many of its citizens unable to flee in the face of near - certain death . The two were sent to the planet along with their Masters , Siri Tachi and Obi - Wan Kenobi , and four other Jedi — Ry - Gaul with his apprentice Tru Veld , and Soara Antana with her Padawan Darra Thel - Tanis . During the mission , the Masters and Padawans were forced to separate , since there were not enough bio - isolation suits to enable all of the Jedi to investigate the area already afflicted by the toxin . Left to their own devices , the more experienced Padawans Olin and Skywalker quickly clashed over issues of leadership . Despite these tensions , the four Jedi were able to cooperate well enough to gradually discover the explanation for the release of the toxin . While tracing a group of raiders who were ransacking the homes of fleeing civilians to steal their valuables , the Padawans discovered that the criminals had managed to obtain the evacuation schedule for the citizens of the still - unaffected city of Tacto , enabling them to steal from the fleeing citizens in a suspiciously organized and efficient manner . This information , combined with Skywalker and Veld ' s discovery that the planet ' s communications were being jammed from orbit rather than suffering from malfunction , led them to deduce that the natives of the neighboring planet of Avon were planning to invade Radnor , using an offer of assistance in the evacuation as a smokescreen to allow them to land an army of battle droid s to quickly conquer the planet . The Jedi teams thwarted the invasion and exposed Galen , the Radnoran scientist who had originally developed the toxin , as a traitor , but Skywalker and Olin remained at odds even after their success . At the end of the mission , Olin , distrusting his fellow Padawan due to the desire for control he had shown , warned him that he would watch him in the future , further infuriating Skywalker and cementing the two apprentices ' rivalry and mutual dislike for one another . The Galactic Games . Several months later , in 26 BBY , the two apprentices met again , along with their masters , at the Galactic Games on the planet Euceron . The Padawans , joined by fellow apprentice Tru Veld , helped their masters to discover a plot to rig the games . When Skywalker discovered that an illegal podrace was rigged in favor of one competitor , he decided to compete in it to discover how the race would be manipulated and who was behind it . Olin opposed this plan , believing that Skywalker was racing as much for the thrill as for the mission ' s success , and his opinions irritated his rival . Skywalker did enter the race , but discovered that " he " was the racer with the advantage rather than Hekula , the son of his former podracing rival Sebulba . However , he narrowly escaped death when his pod was sabotaged in an attempt to force a dramatic crash into the crowd . Unable to prove the corruption and crimes of the celebrity athlete Maxo Vista and his confederate Liviani Sarno , head of the Games Council , the Jedi left Euceron with a hollow victory and mutual feelings of animosity between Olin and Skywalker still lingering . When Skywalker took private lightsaber training lessons with Soara Antana , the Jedi Master chose Olin to surprise him with an attack after one of their lessons . With no love lost between the two Padawans and Skywalker already exhausted from training , Olin took the upper hand at first before Skywalker gave into his feelings of anger , which fueled him and allowed him to defeat his fellow apprentice . However , the display of rage and Skywalker ' s lack of awareness of his error gave Antana serious doubts about the young Padawan . This led to her decision to end her training with Skywalker , after warning him to beware the temptation to give in to his emotions during battle . Infiltrating the Leadership School . When Gillam Tarturi , son of Senator Berm Tarturi and a student at the luxurious Leadership School on Andara , disappeared , his father suspected that political rivals had kidnapped his son . Coincidentally , a squad of young mercenaries was suspected by the Jedi Council to be using the Leadership School as a training ground . In order to look into both Gillam ' s disappearance and the secret squad , Olin was sent with Skywalker to infiltrate the school disguised as students ; with this cover , the two would be able to identify and investigate the mercenaries in hopes of finding a clue to the motive behind Gillam Tarturi ' s disappearance . When they arrived at the school , Olin befriended a troublesome student named Reymet Autem , the son of Senate Guard Sagoro Autem , who seemed to know something about the inner workings of the school . While Olin began to get to know Autem in an attempt to learn about the mercenaries from the student , Skywalker managed to infiltrate the secret squad . However , as he learned more about them , he gradually became more and more in agreement with the unit ' s ideals — this led him to decide to join them on a mission to penetrate Andara ' s airspace . The mission was based on Ieria , a planet in the system , and Skywalker suggested Gillam might be there , trying to justify his planned participation in the raid . However , Olin adamantly opposed the violation of the Jedi Code , and attempted to convince his rival not to participate in such a potentially inflammatory act . Skywalker agreed to meet with him later to consult Kenobi , but before the two Padawans had a chance to contact Skywalker ' s master , Olin disappeared . He had began a search for Gillam in an effort to find him before Skywalker left the school , hoping to eliminate Kenobi ' s apprentice ' s rationale for seeking Gillam on Ieria . However , Tarturi , actually hidden in the old and abandoned system rooms inside the school , stumbled upon him . Along with a few members of the secret squad , Tarturi imprisoned Olin there , before leaving for Ieria in secret . Skywalker , even after discovering that Olin was missing , chose to go with the secret squad instead of searching for him , which left the young Jedi imprisoned until Kenobi and Tachi arrived at the Leadership School to rescue him , under the cover of parents considering enrolling their children in classes there . During his explorations of the system rooms , Olin had discovered Gillam ' s datapad . Using the Force to deflect the mercenaries ' attention from it , he managed to keep it from being confiscated . With study of the datapad , he and the Masters discovered that the Senator ' s son had staged his own kidnapping , and planned to pin it on his own father . The Jedi also realized that he was preparing to stage his own death , killing Skywalker instead ; he would then disguise the young Jedi ' s corpse as his own . The trio traveled to Ieria in an attempt to rescue Skywalker . Tarturi had underestimated the power of the Jedi , though , for the teenager easily disabled the squad ' s starfighters , along with attack droids sent in to assassinate him . The other Jedi then arrived in time to take the mercenaries into custody . However , the fact that Skywalker had not even looked for Olin when he discovered that he had disappeared infuriated Kenobi , creating a rift between the Master and his Padawan that would take some time to heal . The Invasion of Typha - Dor . In 25 BBY , Skywalker and Kenobi were sent into the Uziel system to the planet Typha - Dor , the only planet that continued to hold out against the invasions masterminded by the system ' s largest planet , Vanqor . Their mission was to inform the members of a Typha - Dorian surveillance post that the Vanqors had nearly discovered their position , and they needed to evacuate . When the two Jedi arrived , however , they discovered that the members of the surveillance post had obtained the invasion plans the Vanqors intended to use in their invasion of Typha - Dor . During the attempted escape of the team , Skywalker was captured by the Vanqors and taken to Vanqor itself , where he was placed in the Zone of Self - Containment , a drug that induced a state of blissful content , by the criminal scientist Jenna Zan Arbor . Skywalker also discovered later that the Zone interfered with his ability to use the Force . While this occurred , Olin and Tachi , along with the Jedi Garen Muln , Clee Rhara , Ry - Gaul , and Tru Veld , were dispatched to rescue Kenobi and Skywalker and aid them in getting the invasion plans to Typha - Dor . Kenobi managed to spring Skywalker from the Vanqor prison , and the Jedi team arrived just in time to rescue the two from Vanqor forces . Evading enemy starships , the Jedi team arrived safely at Typha - Dor . When the Typha - Dorian General Bycha mentioned that rumors had arose of medical experiments being performed on the prisoners in the camp Skywalker was imprisoned in , the young Jedi revealed that he had undergone the procedure . This surprised all of the Jedi , but most of all Kenobi — none of them had yet been told this by Skywalker . This made Olin believe that Skywalker had refrained from telling his Master because he enjoyed the lack of feeling , saying that it even overcame his loyalty to Kenobi , and causing Skywalker to become defensive of his actions . Although with the Jedi ' s aid the Typha - Dorians managed to force the Vanqor forces into surrendering without firing a shot , Jenna Zan Arbor escaped Vanqor , after which the four Jedi chose to continue their attempts to track her down . Mission to Quas Killam . At some point , Olin and Tachi embarked on a mission to the mining planet of Quas Killam , although the exact date of the mission is unclear . On the planet , they oversaw peace talks between a trinium mining cartel and another faction ; the two groups wanted to form a coalition government of the planet . Although their mission was successful , Olin was uneasy with the result , believing that the cartel had made too many concessions to the other group . However , Tachi reminded him that their mission was complete , and they could not interfere with the government to investigate the Padawan ' s suspicions . At the beginning of the Clone Wars , however , Olin ' s misgivings were proved correct . The cartel allied with the Trade Federation to take control of Quas Killam ' s government , giving the Separatists control of all the factories and trinium mines . Many Killam s not in the cartel were conscripted or killed . Later , during a mission undertaken by Tachi , Obi - Wan Kenobi , Anakin Skywalker , and Padmé Amidala , the female Jedi Master recalled the mission to Quas Killam with regret , wishing that she had observed more of the occurrences there , and possibly prevented the Separatists ' takeover of the planet . Tracking Jenna Zan Arbor . Uprising on Romin . During the following few months , Kenobi and Skywalker tracked Zan Arbor across the galaxy , while Tachi and Olin only assisted them occasionally . However , Tachi had promised to help Kenobi finally effect Zan Arbor ' s capture , and when Kenobi and Skywalker traced the criminal scientist to the planet Romin , Tachi , along with Olin , planned to join Skywalker and Kenobi to assist in capturing the criminal . The Senate ' s bureaucracy held the Jedi back , though , as a law stated that it was illegal to arrest or transport a galactic criminal off Romin ; corruption in the Senate caused the passing of the law , which enabled the planet ' s corrupt leader , Roy Teda , to make a fortune offering refuge to criminals . This did not deter Kenobi , however , and when he learned that a gang of thieves known as the Slams had just been captured by the Republic , and their capture had not yet been publicized , he managed to convince the Jedi Council to allow the four Jedi to impersonate the Slams in effort to gain entrance to Romin , despite the disagreement of Olin , who argued that the Jedi were above using trickery to capture Zan Arbor . Arriving on Romin , Kenobi and Tachi split up with their Padawans , meeting with Zan Arbor and stealing her datapad while Skywalker and Olin explored the city . Before the Padawans could return to their villa , however , they were ambushed by mysterious assailants and captured . Their attackers took them to Joylin , leader of the anti - Teda resistance , who revealed to them that a coup was planned against Teda in one day , at the reception Teda held for the wealthy residents of Romin . Believing the Jedi to be the Slams , Joylin asked them to steal codes from Teda ' s palace that would allow the resistance to deactivate his droid army , allowing a nearly bloodless transition of power . Despite Olin ' s objections to the plan , the Jedi agreed to assist the resistance in removing Teda from power , believing it to be an act of justice against the dictator . That night , Olin , unable to sleep , came across Kenobi in the garden of the villa the Jedi were staying in . He confessed to the Jedi Master his fears about Skywalker ' s power , but Kenobi disagreed . This would later haunt him after Skywalker became Darth Vader ; he would remember that Olin had warned him about the dangers of Skywalker ' s incredible potential , and he had not heeded the young Padawan ' s warning . However , confessing his fears for his rival seemed to release a weight from Olin , and the two Jedi later became , if not friends , certainly much less antagonistic towards one another during much of the remainder of their search for Zan Arbor . During the reception the next day , the Jedi successfully managed to steal the codes required by the resistance . However , with Teda ' s droids out of commission , the revolters vandalized much of the city , proving that Olin ' s misgivings were warranted . Teda and Zan Arbor fled the capital , and summoned the Slams for a job . When the Jedi reached the hideout of the two , though , the real Slams , freshly escaped from prison , arrived , denouncing the Jedi as impostors . Zan Arbor then recognized Skywalker from her experiments upon him on Vanqor , and realized the impostors were Jedi ; after this the four were taken captive and sent into the prisons . Before they could be locked away , they freed the other prisoners of Teda , and demoralized the dictator ' s army , forcing them to surrender . Teda and Zan Arbor were captured and taken before Joylin , the new leader of Romin , making it seem like the Jedi had won . Unfortunately , Joylin had other plans . He released Teda and Zan Arbor , and gave the true Slams permission to leave , attempting to use their flight as justification for his planned execution of Teda ' s followers . Skywalker sensed his plan soon enough that the Jedi would have been able to capture their enemies , if not for a bit of information discovered on Jenna Zan Arbor ' s datapad by Kenobi She had been corresponding with Granta Omega , a notable enemy of the Jedi responsible for the murder of Jedi Master Yaddle . Hoping Zan Arbor would lead them to Omega , the Jedi instead planted a tracking device on the Slams ' ship , allowing the Jedi to follow them to Omega . Investigation on Falleen . The four Jedi tracked Zan Arbor and Teda to the planet Falleen . On Romin the Jedi had discovered that Zan Arbor and Teda were in league with Granta Omega , the wealthy son of Qui - Gon Jinn ' s former Padawan Xanatos , and an enemy of the Jedi who was responsible for the death of Jedi Master Yaddle . They believed that he was attempting to assist Zan Arbor in her attempts to perfect the transmission of the Zone of Self - Containment . On Falleen , the Jedi discovered that Roy Teda , who fled Romin along with Zan Arbor , was staying at a luxurious hotel on Falleen , which Tachi and Olin went to investigate . Meanwhile , Kenobi and Skywalker investigated a relatively new factory , Blackwater Systems , that had been built without respect for safety laws , and had bribed investigators to overlook these oversights . The factory was destroyed by the owners to cover up the illegal activities that took place inside , and Tachi and Olin barely arrived in time to rescue Kenobi and Skywalker , only to discover that their quarry had fled Falleen . Before the Jedi could continue to follow the trail , Mace Windu called them back to Coruscant to help defend the Jedi Order from the accusations of an anti - Jedi faction of the Senate working to deprive the Jedi of official Senate authority for their actions . Attack on the Senate . During a Senate hearing regarding the Jedi ' s actions on Romin , Tachi and Olin discovered what they thought was the hideout of Omega and Zan Arbor . The Master and her Padawan called in Kenobi and Skywalker to assist them , but when they entered , the only occupants were three droidekas and a group of seeker droids . The Jedi destroyed the droids , but found the hideout devoid of any evidence of Omega ' s plans . Later discovering that the criminals planned to use the Zone of Self - Containment to allow them to steal the vertex being donated to the All Planets Relief Fund , the Jedi captured the Slams and prevented the theft , only to discover that it was a diversion . Omega and Zan Arbor really planned to use the Zone of Self - Containment in the Senate to assassinate Supreme Chancellor Palpatine . Planning for Bog Divinian , the leader of the anti - Jedi movement , to propose the election of Senator Sano Sauro , an ally of Omega ' s , as Palpatine ' s successor , Omega and Zan Arbor nearly succeeded in releasing the Zone . Although Kenobi arrived at the Senate in time to prevent Omega and Zan Arbor from unleashing the biochemical , he could not prevent Omega from launching hundreds of killing seeker droids programmed with the vitals of Republic Senators , including the Supreme Chancellor . Skywalker , Tachi , and Kenobi attempted to prevent Omega ' s escape while Olin guarded the Chancellor , but their efforts were in vain . Omega and Zan Arbor escaped the Jedi ' s clutches once again . During the chaos that followed in the Senate , Olin saved the life of Palpatine , but twenty - one Senators died amidst the carnage , as well as Roy Teda . For his heroics in saving the life of the Chancellor , Olin received a special commendation from the Jedi Council . Then , the Jedi once again continued the search for Omega and Zan Arbor . Mission to Korriban . Due to the noticeably increasing influence of the dark side , in 24 BBY the Jedi Council made a decision to accelerate the promotion of Padawans to the rank of Knight . Due to the magnitude of the decision , the council decided to proceed cautiously , beginning the program with one test case — Olin . This enraged Skywalker , who believed he was better than Olin and deserved to be the first to become a Jedi Knight . In addition , the Council revealed to the two rivals and their masters , along with Darra Thel - Tanis and Tru Veld and " their " masters ( Soara Antana and Ry - Gaul , respectively ) , that they had discovered the location of Granta Omega , along with Zan Arbor , his companion . The two criminals were on Korriban . Inferring that the mysterious and secretive Sith Lord had finally noticed Omega , and decided to reward him for his dedication , the Jedi were sent immediately to Korriban to apprehend Omega and Zan Arbor . During the flight to Korriban , Skywalker made clear his feelings toward Olin , angering him , and leaving Veld and Thel - Tanis in embarrassed silence as they futilely attempted to defuse the tensions between the two rivals . When they landed , Skywalker and Olin were sent to infiltrate the planet ' s black market in order to find Zan Arbor and Omega by meeting a thief named Auben . However , when they finally made contact with her , they were attacked by droids of the Commerce Guild army , and fled with the thief into a nearby Sith monastery , and were soon followed by their fellow Jedi . Before the trio could escape the monastery , however , Olin and Skywalker sensed dark power within the hangar that contained the exit , and they fled along with Auben back towards the droids , not knowing that they had just sensed a Sith in the hangar . Meeting up with Darra and Tru , the four Jedi were attacked by numerous super battle droids , and when a Jedi victory no longer seemed in doubt to Skywalker , he noticed a shadowy figure heading towards the exit . The young Padawan followed him , believing he was Omega , only to be thrown backwards with a surge of Force energy from the fleeing man , who was in fact the unknown Sith . Despite the Jedi ' s efforts , the Sith escaped the hangar , and slew Auben as he fled . In the battle with the droids , however , Veld ' s lightsaber was damaged . A rift had begun to grow between he and Skywalker after the latter ' s showdown with Olin during the flight to Korriban , and he asked Olin , not Skywalker , to repair the lightsaber . Olin repaired it , but was ignorant of a prior repair done by Skywalker , which was offset by the power boost he had done . Skywalker saw Olin fix the lightsaber ; however , angered by the fact that Veld had gone to Olin instead of him , chose not to mention the need to double - check the area of the weapon he had repaired . The Jedi then took an airspeeder to the Valley of the Dark Lords , where Kenobi had discovered that Omega and Zan Arbor planned to meet the mysterious Sith Lord . In the Valley of the Dark Lords . During the flight to the Valley , the Jedi were forced to evade Commerce Guild security craft , but managed to reach the Valley unscathed . In the Valley , they were confronted by a pack of tuk ' ata , which they managed to defeat , along with Korriban zombies activated to protect Omega by the ancient Sith . During the battle with the zombies , however , Veld ' s lightsaber began to fail because of the repair that Skywalker failed to double - check , and he switched lightsabers with Olin . When Veld ' s finally failed utterly , Thel - Tanis rushed to aid Olin , only to be shot with a blaster pistol by Omega . Her death caused Olin much grief , and would later cause him to leave the Jedi Order . Omega , closely pursued by Kenobi and Skywalker , fled , planning to meet the Sith Lord . But he was betrayed . The Sith Lord escaped Korriban , and Kenobi struck down Omega , ending his vendetta against the Jedi once and for all , but leaving repercussions throughout the Jedi that would never fully fade . However , Jenna Zan Arbor escaped Korriban as well , and disappeared for a time , eventually joining the Confederacy of Independent Systems as a scientist . Leaving the Jedi . Grief - stricken with guilt that he had not told Ry - Gaul about the damage to Veld ' s lightsaber , and believing he had inadvertently caused Thel - Tanis ' s death , Olin made the decision to resign from the Jedi Order . Upon exiting the Council Chamber after submitting his resignation , he met Skywalker outside . When he told his rival the reason for his withdrawal from the Order , Skywalker unintentionally revealed that he had known that Olin had fixed the lightsaber . However , lightsaber expert and Jedi Master Tolan Hing had told Olin that it was , in fact , the failing of the piece that Skywalker had neglected to tell Veld to adjust that had caused the saber ' s failure . Veld , also present , was shocked by this , and renounced his friendship with Skywalker . The trauma of Darra ' s death had brought him into closer friendship with Olin , however , and the two parted pleasantly . Later returning to the Temple in search of imprisoned Jedi after the execution of Order 66 , Olin discovered Tru ' s lightsaber in the Jedi Temple along with many others and was saddened to discover this evidence of his friend ' s death . Despite the revelation of Skywalker ' s indirect involvement in Thel - Tanis ' s death , Olin left the Jedi with a promise to help any Jedi in need , even his rival . Life on Bellassa . A few months after resigning from the Jedi Order , Olin met Roan Lands one morning in a cafe . The two became fast friends and started their own business , Olin and Lands , on the planet Bellassa . They protected whistleblowers like Dona Telamark from vengeance , enabling them to testify in court against dishonest and corrupt businesses that cut corners on their products . During this time , Olin became an accomplished slicer , considered among the most skilled in the galaxy . When the Clone Wars broke out , the two joined the Grand Army of the Republic , serving as officers . During the days of the Jedi Purge , Olin escaped the notice of the Empire because he was no longer a Jedi , and therefore not considered a threat to Palpatine ' s new regime . However , he refused to stand on the sidelines when he heard of the atrocities that Palpatine had committed . He and Lands founded a resistance group on Bellassa known as the Eleven , with nine other Bellassans , including Wil Asani , Rilla , and Loran . The Empire , in an effort to crush the Bellassans ' resistance , made finding Olin and Lands a top priority . Eventually , Lands was captured , and Olin barely escaped with his life . He found refuge in the mountain cabin of Dona Telamark , he and Roan ' s first client , as the wound he had received in his escape from the Empire began to heal . Despite he and Roan ' s vow never to come rescue one another if they were captured , Olin planned to go back to rescue Roan once his wound healed . His plan changed , however , when his old friend Obi - Wan Kenobi tracked him to Telamark ' s mountain cabin . Return to the Jedi Order . Reunion . Kenobi revealed that he had spirited Roan away from prison to the Eleven ' s safehouse , where he was recovering from neurotoxins administered to him by the Empire . The mass arrests that had occurred in Ussa while Kenobi was there were lauded as evidence of the dangers in returning to the city by the Jedi , but when Dona activated the HoloNet the next day , Olin was given no choice . The cabin ' s occupants discovered that the Empire had issued an ultimatum : if Ferus Olin did not surrender to them within two days , all the people imprisoned in the mass arrests would be executed . Though Olin planned to give himself up , his location was discovered before he got the chance to leave the mountain cabin . Boba Fett and D ' harhan , bounty hunters in the employ of an Inquisitor named Malorum , attacked the cabin sanctuary , and Olin was forced to flee with Kenobi into the old mining tunnels located under the building . Narrowly escaping the bounty hunters , the duo commandeered the landspeeder of one of Dona ' s friends , and safely reached the Eleven ' s safehouse in Ussa . The Eleven developed a plan with the two to ensure that all the prisoners were returned safely , in case of a double - cross by Malorum . Sure enough , the Inquisitor attempted to double - cross the Eleven , claiming the prisoners were rioting even as stormtroopers dragged Olin into the Imperial garrison . But before the garrison ' s doors closed , Kenobi piloted a small airspeeder into the garrison and fled into an air vent with Olin after cutting down his guards . The two managed to escape the prison and discovered that Malorum was researching an event that had happened in Polis Massa . They then stole a ship to leave the planet . Their troubles were not over , however . Boba Fett and his partner followed them in the Slave I , forcing the two to jump to hyperspace to the Red Twins , a system that lacked an Imperial presence . Trever Flume , a teenage street thief who had assisted the two in their escape and a former friend of Olin during his days at Olin and Lands , stowed away aboard the spacecraft , increasing the size of the group to three . However , Fett and D ' harhan tracked the trio to the Red Twins spaceport , and after a confrontation in the spaceport , which resulted in D ' harhan ' s detainment by authorities , the three fled the Red Twins . Boba Fett continued to trail them in his Firespray with the tenacity of a mynock . Flying into an atmospheric storm , Olin managed to lose Fett , forcing him to crash - land on the planet Deneter . In the heat of their escape from the Red Twins , Flume had not had time to trade the stolen Imperial ship for a ship with a hyperdrive . This greatly limited Olin ' s options , and he had no choice but to head to the planet Acherin to refuel . When they reached Acherin , however , they landed right in the middle of the war . A resistance movement on Acherin was engaged in a desperate last stand against an Imperial fleet , and one of its starfighters forced Olin to land . The pilot , Commander Raina Quill , led the three to the resistance ' s stronghold , the hidden city of Eluthan , once she discovered that Kenobi was a Jedi . There , they met the resistance ' s leader , Toma . Olin and Raina each volunteered to pilot a fighter against the Imperial forces , but their resistance was futile . The Empire shot down ship after ship , until Toma had no choice but to call a retreat . The Admiral commanding the Imperial fleet , Riwwel , refused to accept Toma ' s surrender and instead ordered annihilation as a punishment : after Raina and Olin exited their fighters and boarded Toma ' s escape craft , the group barely escaped Eluthan ahead of the orbital bombardment of the city delivered by Riwwel ' s Star Destroyer . Dodging Imperial fighters , Raina piloted the ship to the atmospheric storm where Olin , Kenobi and Flume had evaded Boba Fett . They planned to take refuge within it before making a jump to hyperspace . However , within the storm , they discovered an uncharted asteroid capable of supporting life that traveled within the storm . Raina landed the ship there , where she and Toma stayed , waiting for Kenobi , Olin , and Flume to return from Ilum . This planet , according to Toma , was the sanctuary that a Jedi fighting on Acherin during the Clone Wars and a good friend of Kenobi , Garen Muln , had fled to after Order 66 was given . Rescue on Ilum . During the flight to Ilum , Kenobi told Olin that he would need to rescue Garen on his own . Although he did not inform Olin , Kenobi , receiving guidance from the spirit of Qui - Gon Jinn , had decided to go to Polis Massa , to ensure that records showing his visit to the asteroid with Yoda and Padmé Amidala were destroyed . Despite his anger and bewilderment with Kenobi , Olin agreed to the plan . The Jedi Master disclosed to Olin the location of a secret entrance through the caves , which would enable Olin to enter the caves without attracting the notice of the Imperial garrison that was sure to be on Ilum . Unfortunately for Olin , the passageway led straight through the middle of a gorgodon nest , home to fierce native beasts of Ilum . After dropping Olin and Flume on Ilum , Kenobi departed , leaving the two alone on the icy planet . Olin left Flume outside the entrance of the cave , much to the young thief ' s chagrin , and entered the gorgodon nest . He narrowly escaped an attack from the creatures , but advanced further into the crystal cave unhindered . After enduring visions of his former master Tachi , his rival Skywalker , and Palpatine ' s apprentice Darth Vader , Olin reached the rear of the cave , where he met a tattered , exhausted Jedi - Garen Muln . Before the Jedi could tell Olin much of how he came to reach the cave , an agonized howling rang through the cave . Stormtroopers were exterminating the gorgodons in an effort to reach Olin , who they had discovered was on Ilum . Muln gifted Olin with his lightsaber , to which Olin added the crystals he had taken from the cave , and tried to persuade the Jedi apprentice to leave him . However , Olin refused the weakened Jedi . He convinced Garen to distract the stormtroopers waiting at the cave ' s main entrance , while he destroyed the Imperials , wielding a lightsaber for the first time since his days in the old Jedi Order . They escaped the Crystal Cave in an Imperial ship hotwired by Flume , who rescued the two Jedi from another Imperial onslaught . In a hidden cave formerly used as a hangar by the Jedi , Kenobi picked the three up in Toma ' s ship . They returned to the asteroid after meeting up with Olin ' s friend Roan , who had brought him the supplies he needed to create a secret base for Jedi refugees on the asteroid . Unable to risk leaving young Luke Skywalker unprotected any longer , Kenobi was forced to return to Tatooine , angering Olin , for the apprentice was ignorant of Kenobi ' s reasons for staying hidden . Olin had other priorities , though . He learned from Garen that another Jedi had sought safety at the Crystal Cave … Fy - Tor - Ana . She had gone to Coruscant to search for other Jedi . Combined with D ' harhan ' s insinuation that there was a Jedi prisoner on Coruscant , Olin inferred that Fy - Tor had been captured by the Empire . Along with Flume , he set out to Coruscant to rescue her , leaving Raina and Toma to care for Garen at the asteroid . Stop at Korriban . En route to the galactic capital , however , Toma ' s ship needed to be refueled . As fate would have it , the nearest refueling station was located on Korriban , the location of Olin ' s last mission , and where Darra Thel - Tanis had died . Olin chose to land on the Sith burial world in part to test himself , and to see if he was capable of resisting the dark side . After touching down , however , ghosts of the Sith tempted Olin to stay on Korriban to learn to use the Force more powerfully . Olin resisted the dark forces , and decided to continue on to Coruscant . However , before leaving , Olin sighted Jenna Zan Arbor on Korriban , who left the city of Dreshdae to return to the Valley of the Dark Lords even as Olin and Flume left the former Sith stronghold . Return to Coruscant . Infiltrating the Temple . Returning to Coruscant for the first time since his resignation from the Jedi Order , Olin was devastated to see the Jedi Temple in its current , damaged state after being set fire to during Order 66 . Following information gleaned from D ' harhan and Garen Muln , Olin planned to infiltrate the Temple to free the Jedi Fy - Tor - Ana , whom he suspected to be in Imperial captivity there . He hired an air - taxi pilot to fly over a burnt tower of the Temple , allowing he and Flume to rappel down to gain entrance to the former stronghold of the Jedi without attracting the notice of stormtroopers . Inside the Temple , Olin came across the area where he had first met Anakin Skywalker , many years ago . Deceived by Obi - Wan Kenobi into believing that Skywalker had been killed by the Empire , Olin solemnly remembered the young Jedi he had known , and looked upon his death with sadness , although the two had never liked each other . Before the two left the room , they narrowly escaped a run - in with stormtroopers , escaping only because of the failings of the white - armored troops ' helmet sensors . With his knowledge of the various passages of the Temple , Olin led Flume through the Room of a Thousand Fountains , among other locations , before eventually reaching the basements of the vast building . There they discovered an enormous pile of lightsabers , taken from Jedi slaughtered at the hands of the Empire during the Jedi Purge . This devastated Olin , especially when he discovered the lightsaber of his friend Tru Veld among the others , making his death almost certain . Olin was jolted from his reverie , though , when Flume heard stormtroopers entering the room . Realizing that the Empire had spread rumors that a Jedi was imprisoned in the Temple in order to ensnare any survivors in a trap , Olin and Flume fled the area , and evaded their pursuers by a very slight margin . However , the damage was done . The Empire was now alerted to the presence of the two intruders . To escape scrutiny , Olin and Flume fled to Malorum ' s private office , located in what was once Yoda ' s quarters . Believing the Inquisitor to be absent from the Temple , Olin saw the unlikely area for an infiltrator to hide as both a safe refuge and a place where he had the opportunity to slice Malorum ' s files and attempt to aid Obi - Wan Kenobi by informing him Malorum ' s reasons for investigating the world of Polis Massa . However , Malorum was not absent from the Temple . He had returned earlier than expected , forcing Olin and Flume to hide behind a wall panel in his office just before he arrived with Darth Vader , at the Temple for a surprise visit . During Vader ' s visit , the Inquisitor revealed that he had planted spies in the lower levels of Coruscant , and when Vader mentioned he had heard of another Jedi on Coruscant , Malorum claimed to have a spy in the Jedi ' s group . When he revealed his investigations into rumors about Polis Massa to Vader , though , the Sith unleashed his fury on the Inquisitor , choking him with the Force . As yet another mention of Polis Massa appeared , Olin ' s curiosity was piqued , making him realize the necessity of Kenobi ' s detour while Garen was rescued . But he and Flume were not safe yet . In Vader ' s rage , he ripped off the panel which the two were hiding behind , exposing them to Malorum and the Dark Lord . The duo managed to elude Malorum , while Vader simply let them escape , likely because it would humiliate his rival Malorum . Using the Force to confuse a squad of Imperial guards , Olin and Flume stole an airspeeder and managed to safely escape the Temple . Although they had discovered that Fy - Tor - Ana was not in the Jedi Temple , Olin still believed she was on the planet . He and Flume flew to Dexter ' s Diner to find Dexter Jettster , an old friend of the Jedi and of Kenobi in particular . If anyone knew where a fugitive Jedi would be hiding , in Olin ' s opinion it was Dexter Jettster . Meeting the Erased . When Olin arrived at Dex ' s Diner , he was shocked to find it destroyed . Without Jettster , he had no leads on Fy - Tor ' s whereabouts . However , he ran into a woman who , after confirming he was not an Imperial spy , recommended that he enter the Orange District at sunset . From her , he learned that Jettster was rumored to have joined the Erased , a group of people active in the Republic who had virtually disappeared rather than face arrest and even execution . Realizing the hidden message in her warning , Olin and Flume headed further into the sublevels of Coruscant , towards the Orange District . Searching the streets of Coruscant , the two deciphered the woman ' s clues , inferring that the orange street lamps that glowed similarly to a setting sun were characteristic . When Olin tried to enter a cantina to find information , though , he was immediately tossed out by a Whiphid . Olin refused to be shrugged off , and attempted to enter , but a group of thugs emerged , drawing weapons and preparing to drive him off . Before they attacked , however , Dexter Jettster emerged from the cantina . Recognizing Olin , he prevented the thugs from attacking him and Flume , and invited them inside . They entered the cantina , the hideout of Jettster , and in it were introduced to the Erased , none other than the thugs that had been so eager to attack them only seconds before . Jettster was surprised to find Olin on Coruscant , and he was further shocked when the Jedi informed him that Obi - Wan Kenobi , a good friend of Jettster , was still alive . The Besalisk had seen a Jedi matching Fy - Tor ' s description , and expressed his suspicions that the Jedi Temple was merely a Jedi trap , which Olin confirmed . Because of this , he had warned her to avoid the Temple . When Ana left , Jettster said , she had told him that if ever he needed her assistance , to find Solace . When Olin warned the Erased of Malorum ' s plans to crack down on the lower levels of Coruscant , the group decided to search for Solace , a rumored refuge said to be all the way down to Coruscant ' s crust , that was considered almost indiscoverable by the Empire . Jettster maneuvered the Erased into appointing Olin the leader of the expedition ; Olin was not happy with this , but did not protest . Before leaving , Olin contacted Kenobi and informed him of the recent developments on Coruscant . Kenobi warned the Padawan that Malorum ' s investigations into Polis Massa needed to be stopped . Hunting for Solace . Though Jettster chose to remain in the Orange District , Olin , Flume , and the rest of the Erased set off deeper into the underworld of Coruscant in search of Solace . At last reaching the lowest level of Coruscant , they were attacked by a local street gang numbering about fifteen . Olin ' s fighting skills , along with the assistance of the Erased , allowed him to defeat the gang with ease . During the fight , Flume was attacked by a duracrete slug emerging from a hole in the duracrete ; however , a well - placed vibro - shiv from Keets Freely stunned the slug into retreat . At the Underworld Inn that night , Flume realized that there was space in the crack where the slug had emerged from to attack him . Olin did not doubt the boy ' s intuition ; after all , some rumors heard stated that Solace was " below " Coruscant ' s crust . Immediately , Olin roused the Erased , and they returned to the site of the battle . Climbing beneath the duracrete , Olin , Flume , and the Erased discovered the remains of an ancient transportation system , confirming that sentient life had once existed within the tunnel . Within the caverns , they met a creature calling himself " Guide . " He claimed to be able to take the group to Solace . Realizing they had little other choice , Olin agreed to allow him to lead them there . When they reached the refuge , however , it became clear that Solace was not a place , it was a person — Guide . Guide was not trustworthy , though , and turned the Erased over to the refuge ' s residents . Olin ' s drawn lightsaber , however , elicited a reaction . The mysterious man called Olin a Padawan , not quite a Jedi ; this caused him to realize who " Guide " really was … not a man at all , but Fy - Tor - Ana in disguise . Recognizing Olin , Fy - Tor ordered the crowd to disband . Olin told her of his plans to search for fugitive Jedi and collect them , but she disagreed . Ana said her identity was that of Solace , not Fy - Tor ; she believed that the hidden city provided her with all she needed , and she could not stop the Empire anyway . When the Padawan told her of Malorum ' s claims that there was a spy in her organization , Solace refused to believe it . Only when Olin told her of the pile of lightsabers collected in the Temple did Fy - Tor come to believe that the Empire had to be fought . She , Olin , and Flume planned to reenter the Temple and steal back the lightsabers rather than leave them in Sith hands ; also , she and Olin could slice Malorum ' s data files to ensure that he did not , in fact , have a spy in her organization . Captured by the Empire . To enter the Temple , Solace devised a plan . Earlier , she had built a customized ship utilizing parts from a mole miner and an ARC - 170 starfighter that was capable of burrowing beneath Coruscant ' s crust . The two Jedi planned to utilize this feature to get " under " the Temple , then to head towards the surface , coming up in an abandoned turbolift shaft . This plan worked to perfection , and they reached the Temple without incident . Once the three entered , though , something seemed wrong . Olin nearly tripped over conductor wire in the middle of a corridor , and stormtroopers were nowhere to be found . Also , when the group reached Malorum ' s office , it was emptied completely . Unable to learn anything from Malorum ' s files any longer , the Jedi decided to collect the lightsabers and leave quickly . However , in a burst of intuition , Flume connected the mysterious events . Opening a power vent , he discovered that the conductor wire was being used to drain power from the Temple ' s core to be used to power a bomb . Malorum was trying to obliterate the Temple ; also , this would enable him to blame it on Darth Vader by claiming that he gave the order to do so , though Vader had only suggested such an idea to prove that Malorum was keeping private files outside the main Imperial databanks . Unable to bear the thought of fleeing the Temple and leaving it to be destroyed , the Jedi chose to risk their lives and attempt to disable the explosives . Although they successfully deactivated the bomb , the three were not safe yet . Squads of stormtroopers with AT - RT ' s entered the Temple before they could escape , with Malorum at their head . Realizing that without a drastic measure , Solace and Flume had no hope of escape , Olin surrendered to the stormtroopers , giving his companions time to flee in Solace ' s esoteric craft . However , the Jedi first entrusted Solace with his lightsaber , unable to bear its capture by the Empire . Awaking in a prison , Malorum entered and interrogated Olin , attempting to learn the identity of the Jedi who infiltrated the Temple with him . When Olin refused to reveal the information , however , Malorum indifferently walked out . That prison was the planet Dontamo , the location of Dontamo Prison . Introduced to the prison routine by his cellmate , Prisoner 934890 , Olin immediately began searching for a way to escape . However , when Olin fought Prisoner 677780 over rations , the man immediately began preparing to get Olin back . One morning , the Jedi was ambushed by " Prisoner 67 " and five of his henchmen . Only the quick action of Clive Flax , a fellow prisoner and a friend of Olin from the Clone Wars , saved Olin from being suffocated . The two developed a plan and managed to steal a starship , but were nearly shot down by Imperial fighters over Dontamo . Only the timely arrival of the Erased prevented Olin and Flax from being reduced to mere space dust . They headed to Alba - 16 , where Olin learned that the ranks of the Erased had been thinned by an Imperial raid on Solace ' s hidden city . When Keets Freely told Olin that Malorum had gone to the planet Naboo , however , the Jedi remembered the warnings of Obi - Wan Kenobi that Malorum ' s investigations into Senator Padmé Amidala ' s death must be stopped . He , the Erased , and Flax left for Naboo . Mission to Naboo . Olin and the Erased traced Malorum to the residence of Ryoo Thule , the grandmother of the deceased Senator Padmé Amidala , after speaking with former Captain Gregar Typho and Queen Apailana . Olin discovered her near - death after being mortally wounded by the Inquisitor , and the old woman warned him with her dying breath that Malorum suspected the truth of a great secret , which Obi - Wan Kenobi thought vital to protect . This was in fact the knowledge of the Skywalkers ' existence . Spotting Malorum , the group pursued him in boats , but the Inquisitor destroyed them by using wrist rocket s , and managed to escape . Only the assistance of a Gungan bongo pilot named Yunabana saved the Erased from drowning . Yunabana brought the group before Boss Rugor Nass . He and Olin contacted Queen Apailana for a holoconference , where the Jedi revealed a daring plan . The Gungans and the Naboo would attack and destroy the Imperial garrison while Olin neutralized Malorum . The Empire was storing illegal explosives in their garrison , according to Naboo intelligence ; if these were detonated after the Imperials were killed , it would destroy the garrison , and prevent the Empire from unleashing retribution on the Naboo since they would not want it known that they were storing outlawed weaponry . Olin drove Malorum backwards into the Theed Royal Palace , pressing him into the Theed reactor core , where Qui - Gon Jinn and Kenobi had dueled Darth Maul during the events of the Battle of Naboo . As a Jedi , Olin had assumed he would defeat Malorum without difficulty ; although he had sensed Malorum ' s aptitude for using the Force , he had not expected Malorum to be trained in the use of a lightsaber . He soon realized his error , as the Grand Inquisitor revealed a red lightsaber and attacked . The battle was surprisingly evenly matched , and the two combatants progressed through a corridor containing energy walls , finally emerging at the edge of the melting pit where Qui - Gon Jinn was slain . In the end , Malorum was closely bested by the former Padawan . Pinning Malorum against the melting pit , Olin left himself open to an attack . The Inquisitor took the bait and charged him , only to be disarmed , and to have his lightsaber knocked over the pit . Attempting to leap across the pit and summon the lightsaber with the Force , Malorum was blinded by need ; he lost control and fell into the melting pit , taking the secret of the Skywalkers with him . Leaving the melting pit behind , Olin exited the palace to discover that the Empire had been routed . He and Flax successfully destroyed the explosives , preventing blame from being pinned on the Naboo . They , the Erased , and Solace planned to return to the secret base with much needed supplies for Toma , Raina , and Garen . Before they could set a course , however , Olin received a message from Emperor Palpatine himself . The Emperor offered Olin amnesty for all his past " crimes " if Olin would agree to meet with him on Coruscant . Even if Olin refused the Sith ' s offer , Palpatine said that the Jedi would be allowed to take the amnesty and go free without retribution . Double - Agent . Blackmailed by the Emperor . Olin decided to hear Palpatine out . With the Erased , he traveled to Coruscant , although he was the only one who met with the Sith , along with Sly Moore and Moff Tarkin . Palpatine asked the Jedi to help aid the planet of Samaria . A desert world completely dependent on technology , Samaria was devastated when a bug was introduced into its computer mainframe , causing critical systems everywhere to malfunction . Despite the sorrow he felt for Samaria , Olin was unwilling to work for the Emperor , and planned to take the amnesty the Sith offered . Palpatine had a catch in place , though . He informed Olin that his friends Roan Lands and Dona Telamark had been arrested , and would be executed , unless Olin aided him on Samaria . Unable to let his friends die , the Jedi agreed to travel to the desert planet . On his way to an Imperial starship , Olin managed to pass on the details of his encounter with the Emperor to the Erased , who utilized disguises to get close to him without attracting the notice of a trailing prowler droid . When he reached his ship , Solace , in the guise of another pilot , told him that she and the Erased would free Lands and Telamark . With this knowledge , Olin left for Samaria . However , Keets Freely and Curran Caladian chose to stay on Coruscant with Dexter Jettster in the event that they were needed there . Reaching the capital city of Sath , Olin met with Prime Minister Aaren Larker and the resident Imperial Advisor , none other than Bog Divinian , who Olin had met at the Galactic Games . Although Divinian attempted to assert control over him , he grew impatient when Olin failed to solve the problem quickly , and left the Jedi alone , leaving him with orders to report to him if anything happened . Despite his skills at slicing , Olin was unable to make any headway in discovering the source of the computer virus . He was forced to seek other methods of finding clues . Finally , he cross - referenced the records for requests to buy spacecraft with the Sath mausoleum . Correctly assuming that the saboteur would attempt to get off planet , and fear filing for a refund , he found the few who did not request their money back listed in handwritten records . When Olin checked the mausoleum on a hunch that the slicer would have stolen the identity of someone already dead , he discovered the slicer ' s alias — Quintus Farel , who in reality had died in a speeder crash at the age of two . Olin exited the mausoleum , where he met up with Flax , who had arrived on Samaria to help him . On their way to investigate the ship that " Farel " had bought , the two managed to lose a trailing seeker droid in the city ' s disorganized traffic ; however , unknown to him , Divinian had also planted a sensor tag on his boot . After questioning the starship salesman , the pair learned that Farel lived in the Fountain Towers , a recently built district of Sath . Soon after , Olin discovered the sensor tag , and tossed it onto a passing vehicle , hoping to throw Divinian off his trail . The two then headed for the Fountain Towers . Olin and Flax tracked down the ship of the saboteur in the Fountain Towers ' hangar , but saw something unexpected inside it — a child ' s laser lasso . Olin was surprised that a child was involved with the saboteur , but continued to trail " Farel . " Entering the Fountain Towers , Flax sliced the security keypad to the saboteur ' s apartment , and the two stealthily entered , only to discover that it was empty . Olin was not deceived by the ruse , however . He and Flax entered the unfinished tower nearby , and discovered the saboteur ' s real apartment . Entering the same way as before , they confronted the saboteur , only to find that it was Astri Oddo , the former wife of Divinian . During a discussion with Oddo , Olin realized that her son , Lune Oddo Divinian , was Force - sensitive . He and Flax expressed their shock at the realization that Oddo had sabotaged the entire planet ' s infrastructure to protect Lune from Bog , but Oddo was unabashed . As she begged the two to let her go , Olin sensed the arrival of Darth Vader at the Fountain Towers . He , Oddo , and Flax fled their room , knowing Vader ' s men would soon begin searching the Towers . The three headed to the roof in order to cross construction beams at the top to reach the hangar next door , which contained Oddo ' s cruiser . Along the way , they came across Solace , Flume , and Oryon , with the freed Lands and Telamark in tow . When Solace queried Astri about her motives in sabotaging the Sath computer systems , the woman offered more information than she had to Olin and Flax ; she revealed that Larker had given her permission to do so . The Sathan Prime Minister intended the disruption in the systems to give his people the chance to establish a resistance movement , and when the computers came back on - line , records containing information such as who fought for the Republic during the Clone Wars , or who criticized Palpatine when he was the Supreme Chancellor , would be missing ; the Empire would have to start from scratch to find out who their enemies were . Successfully crossing to the hangar of the Towers , the two Jedi destroyed a squad of stormtroopers , and reached the cruiser . However , attacks from Imperial forces nearly destroyed it , and the group was forced to commandeer an airspeeder . They managed to reach the Imperial vessel Solace had commandeered , but Olin chose to stay and continue attempting to learn the plans of the Empire as a double - agent . Though worried about the consequences of staying so close to his enemies , the Jedi decided to take the risk , and remained on Samaria . Resistance in Sath . Although the slicer had escaped Samaria , Palpatine considered Olin ' s efforts in the computer crash successful , insinuating that it had been Darth Vader ' s responsibility to capture the culprit . In a private conversation with Olin , the Emperor gave him orders to offer amnesty similar to that which the Jedi had received to the fledgling Sathan resistance . Olin agreed , planning to use the offer as a way to contact the resistance . By trailing the aide of Prime Minister Aaren Larker , he managed to make contact with the members of the Sathan resistance — these used the codenames of " Nek " , " Dinko " , and " Firefolk " . A few days later , Nek contacted Olin with information . Bog Divinian , attempting to prevent a trade agreement between Samaria and its technological rival Rosha , had electronically linked his newly acquired Personal Droid Helper with two Roshan prowler droids . Fearing that Divinian would attempt to blame the Roshan delegation currently in Sath for something , Olin headed to the diplomatic wing of the city Residence Tower , where the Imperial Representative was meeting with the delegates . Suddenly , a thief in an airspeeder used a liquid cable to snare Bog ' s droid , and fled . The speeder was closely trailed by the Roshan droids , however ; Divinian had programmed them to fire at his droid with low - power weapons , creating the illusion that the Roshans had attempted to assassinate him . Catching the thief , Olin discovered it was none other than Flume , who had left the asteroid alone to make contact with Flame , the leader of a galaxy - wide resistance movement known as Moonstrike . They had tried to steal the droid to learn what Divinian was up to — the droid would have recorded every conversation it had overheard while at the Representative ' s side . Olin returned the droid , and left Flume , but refused to take Flame to meet his resistance movement . Vader , however , suspicious of Olin , ordered him to capture the thief , threatening to institute mass arrests if the Jedi did not comply . Confused about the situation , the Sith ' s threat made Olin wonder why the Empire was so concerned with Samaria . In conversation with the resistance , Flame , and Flume , Olin had an intuitive leap . Learning that Roshan droids could transfer information from a mainframe without any sort of plug - in , the Jedi made the connection that the Roshans could combine their technology with the Sathan ability to transfer large amounts of data at once . Although Roshan droids could not carry much data at once , a melding of the two technologies could theoretically create a " commander " battle droid — one that could intake enormous amounts of data and transfer it to an Imperial droid , overloading and destroying it . At last Olin had hit upon the reason the Empire was so concerned about the Sathan - Roshan trade agreement — they feared what the two societies could do with exchange of technology . However , they realized the Empire likely knew this as well . Meeting with the delegation hurriedly , Olin informed them of the possibility of merging their technology with that of the Sathans . Flame quickly evacuated the Roshans from the planet , returning them to Rosha once they realized the Empire planned to assassinate them . Also , Aaren Larker sacrificed his life by posing as the thief of Divinian ' s droid . Although he believed he would remain free because of his popularity with Sathans , he was imprisoned , and Darth Vader ordered his murder a day after his interment . Olin did believe that Flame and the delegation had reached Rosha safely , however , until the Sith apprentice revealed to him a HoloNet broadcast glorifying the Empire ' s invasion of Rosha . Olin had been tricked — the Empire had really been planning to invade Rosha , not Samaria — and he believed Flame and Flume dead after seeing the wreck of their ship on the Imperial broadcast . Return to Bellassa . Aboard an Imperial starship , Olin managed to discover the existence of a large - scale Imperial operation , codenamed " Twilight " . Remembering that Order 66 had been a large - scale operation , the Jedi felt it was important to discover the details of the operation . However , he received a new assignment from Palpatine — travel to his homeworld of Bellassa and aid Darth Vader in restructuring the Bellassan factories to focus on communication and infrastructure technologies . Although the Sith Lord did not explicitly state it , Olin realized that his presence was to be used to crush the morale of the resistance on his homeworld , making them feel that defeat was inevitable . Despite his reluctance to possibly destroy the morale of the Bellassans , Olin agreed , hoping to find more information about " Twilight " . As Palpatine had expected , Olin ' s presence on Bellassa greatly angered its citizens . Olin , although pained by the effect his presence was causing , continued to attend Imperial meetings with scientists adapting the planet ' s industry , in order to remain unsuspicious to the Empire . Managing to meet with Lands , he decided that he would attempt to expose the Empire ' s activities on Bellassa , and would then end his tenure as a double - agent . He , Lands , Flume , and Doctor Amie Antin , a member of the Eleven , would infiltrate the Imperial facility once the Jedi found a way in . Conversing with Russell Wake , a gardener and the head of security at the building , Olin persuaded him to give he and his team fifteen minutes inside the facility . That night , the four entered successfully , and split up within the facility . They broke into Moff Tarkin ' s office and copied his files to a datapad , learning that Jenna Zan Arbor had entered the Empire ' s employ . Olin met up with Flume , who revealed that Vader had executed Wake . Realizing that he might not escape , Olin gave the datapad to Flume , telling him to get the pad to the Eleven , and left to find Lands and Antin . However , Vader had already reached the two resistance members . In a move aided by the power of the dark side of the Force , the Sith struck down Lands , even as Olin attempted to stall him . Shocked , Olin attacked Vader , only to realize that the Dark Lord meant for him to do so , provoking him by murdering Lands . The Sith easily evaded Olin ' s attack and choked him with the Force before ordering stormtroopers to imprison Antin and the Jedi . Expecting to be executed , Olin was shocked when the Emperor entered his prison cell and offered to teach him powers that would enable him to defeat Darth Vader . Palpatine told the Jedi that he could teach him the power over life and death , saying that his apprentice had been overreaching his authority . Olin accepted the Sith ' s offer when Palpatine stated that he would give Olin command of the Inquisitorius , and give him authority over those hunting for Force - sensitives . Planning to bring the Force - sensitives to his secret asteroid base rather than turn them over to the Empire , Olin agreed to learn from the Emperor . The Emperor ' s student . Palpatine did not have new techniques for Olin to learn at first , however ; he simply told the Jedi to give in to , rather than fight , his anger . With his memory of Vader ' s execution of Roan Lands infuriating him , Olin utterly demolished a training room . Olin still believed he was merely pretending to be on the side of the Empire , though . As such , he secretly met with the Eleven and Flame , informing them of the Empire ' s plans for the captured Amie Antin and helping prepare a rescue operation . Also , Solace revealed to him that Ry - Gaul had survived Order 66 , and in an encounter with the two , both Masters sensed a hint of dark - side aura in Olin , causing them to privately question his ability to resist being corrupted . Unbeknownst to Ry - Gaul and Solace , Olin had not returned directly to Bellassa ' s Imperial garrison after their meeting . Unwilling to leave Bellassa as planned without talking to Roan Lands ' s family , he met with Enna and Alexir , Roan ' s parents , and gave them details on the events that occurred the night of their son ' s death . Also there was Roan ' s cousin Malory , and upon learning that she had been offered a job at the EmPal SuRecon Center and refused it , as she was against working for the Empire , Olin urged her to reconsider . Investigating the identity of Darth Vader , he hoped to use her as a connection to infiltrate EmPal , where he suspected the Sith had been fitted with his array of prosthetics . At first , Malory was reluctant ; she relented , however , when Olin told her that he needed her to accept the Empire ' s offer to help him avenge his friend ' s murder . His business on Bellassa finished , Olin returned to Coruscant to meet Hydra , the new Grand Inquisitor . With her help , Olin accessed the list of reported or suspected Jedi sightings , and was surprised to discover an individual matching Ry - Gaul ' s description at the highest priority on the list — the Empire had successfully tracked a Jedi . He was also given a list of suspected Force - sensitives including a small Alderaanian child . However , Hydra stated she would be accompanying him , much to Olin ' s displeasure . Olin managed to stave off the search for a day so that he could start his investigations in EmPal , where he met Malory , who devised a plan for him to get into the facility ' s access records . Though he found nothing , Olin knew instinctively that Vader had been born in EmPal . While he continued his investigation , Olin spotted Jenna Zan Arbor in the facility , though he ignored her since he was investigating Vader . He later found Vader in the tower , and while he grappled with the dark side and his hatred for Vader , he quelled them , believing the key in defeating Vader was by discovering his true identity . After returning to the room where he spotted Jenna , he discovered , to his shock , that she was using Lune Oddo as a test subject , with the forced assistance of Linna Naltree . Using a mind trick on Jenna as a distraction , Olin escaped with Lune on an Imperial vessel hijacked by Flume and a former Imperial teacher named Maggis . After returning Lune to a safe house on Coruscant , Olin contacted Kenobi and informed him of his assignment to track down Force Adept s , as well as tell him about the existence of Moonstrike . Kenobi said that starting a resistance was too soon as the Empire already had a lock on power and ordered Olin to investigate the baby on Alderaan without the Empire knowing , saying it was something he must do . Olin agreed , trusting Kenobi ' s judgment . Mission to Alderaan . Arriving with Hydra on Alderaan , Olin knew that Bail Organa would despise him because he sided with the Empire . Learning about Mustafar , he considered it to be Vader ' s birthplace . However , once he figured out that Leia was Force sensitive , he contacted Kenobi , demanding answers . After weeding out a spy on the planet , the Emperor arrived to " install " order on the planet . Vader said to him something he heard long ago , from Anakin Skywalker , " Save your fears for yourself . " He then came to the revelation that Vader was in fact Skywalker . Battle with Vader and aftermath . Olin accessed the power of the Sith holocron given to him by Emperor Palpatine in an attempt to gain dark side power to defeat Vader . In a confrontation with Vader , he revealed to Vader that he knew his secrets — both his past history as Anakin Skywalker and his having killed his wife Padmé Amidala . Vader however , appeared to be fairly unperturbed at Olin ' s revelation . Following a fierce battle , both were left alive , though Olin was seriously injured . Vader eventually discovered the location of the secret asteroid base due to the betrayals of Flame and Toma who were both discovered by the resistance then abandoned and killed respectively . He drew upon the power of the Force and eventually returned to Obi - Wan Kenobi . He accepted a mission to live on Alderaan , as Fess Ilee , protecting Princess Leia Organa - - " she would never know him , but he would always be there . " Later life . After Vader informed the Imperial Senate that Princess Leia ' s ship had been destroyed over Tatooine and Leia along with it , her foster father , Bail Organa , sent Olin out to find the truth and the latter was thus off - planet when Alderaan was destroyed by the Death Star . Having heard rumors that Leia was indeed alive , Olin travelled to Delaya , Alderaan ' s sister planet in the system , hoping she would appear sooner or later . Leia did , in fact , travel there shortly after the Battle of Yavin , along with her allies Han Solo , Chewbacca , and Luke Skywalker , on a mission from the Rebel Alliance to Delaya and to Alderaan ' s refugees . During their visit , Olin learned of the death of his friend and mentor , Kenobi . Leia invited Olin to become involved with the Rebellion , but Olin declined , believing that were he to do so , his presence in the Force would be like a beacon to both the Emperor and to Vader , and thus endanger whom he was charged to protect . Olin decided to find out what Vader was up to . Learning that Vader was searching for the person who destroyed the Death Star , Olin began tracking Slej Hant , whom Vader commanded to find the information . However , an informant told Olin of another Imperial on the mission . He dwelled on a satellite in the Zoma system , and he almost had the information , as did Hant . Obi - Wan , in spirit form , came to Olin and gave him a plan . Olin hired a Balosar to hire Han Solo to steal a shipment of glitterstim from the satellite in the Zoma system , hoping that Solo would find the information needed to stop the Imperial ' s plan to kill Luke . Later , when Luke and Lune Divinian were in a tight spot involving a Star Destroyer , Olin , in a hijacked TIE fighter , sent them Imperial docking codes - to get in the Star Destroyer - and hyperdrive coordinates . When Luke and Div hesitated too long and the other TIE fighters attacked , Olin began attacking the other fighters . With the time Olin ' s attack bought them , they made the jump to hyperspace . Olin followed , and all three met on a tiny , faraway moon . Seeing Div triggered old memories , and to keep the truth from Luke , he knocked him out with an injection . Div thought he had turned to the dark side , piloting a TIE and knocking out Luke , but Olin explained some of the situation while Luke slept . Death . Later , Ferus helped Lune Divinian , and managed to kill the Imperial assassin , X - 7 . Past that , he joined the Rebel Alliance , later receiving information that Han Solo , Luke Skywalker , and Princess Leia were missing . He managed to locate them on a moon where Rezi Soresh was trying to turn Skywalker into an emotionless , obedient Assassin to replace X - 7 , and attempted to lure the Rebels and Vader into a trap . When the Rebels and Imperials arrived , they proceeded to battle one another , and Soresh let loose a weapon which would , in time , destroy that star system . After Olin and Princess Leia finished evacuating prisoners from the moon , Olin felt Vader ' s presence . To allow Leia to escape , Olin , in an effort to stall for time , engaged Vader in a duel . After a short battle , where Olin taunted Vader , Vader stabbed Olin in the heart . After Vader had walked away from the corpse , Princess Leia found Olin ' s body . Legacy . Having sacrificed himself at the hands of Darth Vader , Olin was able to give the rebels a chance to escape . Three years later , they were able to defeat Vader , Emperor Palpatine , and the Empire . Personality and traits . Although it was always strictly emphasized in the Jedi Temple that one student is never better than another , Ferus seemed to have all gifts . He was steady and brilliant , a physically gifted athlete , and popular with all the students . He excelled at everything he tried , causing everyone to admire him and want to be like him , and there was not a single person at the Jedi Temple who did not speak his name without praise , the only exception being Anakin Skywalker . Ferus felt driven by the need to excel at every waking moment and , as a result , though he had many friends , he hadn ' t developed any truly intimate relationships or , what might be considered , very close friendships . However , through his friendship with Roan Lands after leaving the Jedi Order , he was able to open up to others more , and become more independent . Ferus Olin had thick dark hair with gold streaks running through it . Later in life , he created a disguise to make himself look harmless , appearing , in Leia ' s description of him , to be a " paunchy old man with a bulging belly . " Behind the scenes . Ferus Olin was created by author Jude Watson as a rival to Anakin Skywalker in the " Jedi Quest " series . Later , after he left the Jedi at the end of that series of novels , Watson brought back Olin as the main character of the " Last of the Jedi " series of novels . Watson confirmed on Twitter that , when she was writing Olin , she intended for him to be read as gay . She also commented that , in her mind , Ferus Olin and Roan Lands were married . In " " , Ferus is stated to have a " red " lightsaber , but on the cover of " " , he wields a " green " weapon . Further complicating the issue is his Jedi weapon giving off a " bronze " glow in the Granta Omega - masterminded Seeker - droid battle in the Senate Building in 24 BBY , as recounted in " . " It is possible that Olin changed the crystals used in his lightsaber between the events of the " Jedi Quest " novels , therefore accounting for the change in blade color . Although it is mentioned in " Secrets of the Jedi " that Olin and Siri Tachi embark on a mission to Quas Killam , the exact chronological time of this event is never stated in canon material . As it is mentioned that he and Tachi did not aid Obi - Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker during the whole of their search for Jenna Zan Arbor , this article has conjectured that the mission to Quas Killam occurred during that time . " " appears to be self - contradictory with regard to the disposition of Olin ' s body . Pages 132 and 133 indicate that Luke , Leia , and Han carry his body to the " Millennium Falcon " , and the next few pages suggest that his body was loaded onto the " Falcon " . On page 136 , however , the narrator states , " " Ferus and Div were lost in the inferno , " " implying that Olin ' s body was left on the planet . However , this could mean that the lives - souls - were lost to a planet that was destroyed in fire . While the body was saved , the life had left while on the planet . A 2007 issue of " Game Informer " mentioned that Ferus Olin would be one of the Jedi opponents in " . " This was proven to be false .
