Roan Shryne Roan Shryne was a Human male Jedi Knight who served the Jedi Order during the Clone Wars and briefly avoided Order 66 . He wielded a blue lightsaber . Biography . Early life . Roan was born on Weytta to Jen and Jula Shryne . Against Jula ' s will , Jen surrendered the child to the Jedi when Roan was just over three years of age . This action resulted in Jula leaving Jen . Life as a Jedi . Roan first faced serious combat as the Padawan of Jedi Master Nat - Sem around 48 BBY . During his early training at the Jedi Temple , Roan demonstrated a talent for being able to sense the Force in others and was encouraged to pursue a course that would have landed him in the Jedi Acquisition Division . When he attained the rank of Jedi Knight , Roan was offered a position within the Division , which took Force - sensitive children to the Jedi Temple , but he refused to do so because part of him was uncomfortable with taking children from their parents . Shryne came to be one of what many Jedi referred to as the " Old Guard " , Jedi considered likely to be put on the Jedi High Council . Shryne , however , never attained that status . Shortly before the Clone Wars , Roan went on the first of many missions to Murkhana , a world not far from his homeworld Weytta . He sought to bring down the crime lord Cash Garrulan . Instead , Garrulan became a Jedi informant and developed something of a friendship with Roan . He would infiltrate this Outer Rim world many more times over the course of the Clone Wars , fatefully returning there in 19 BBY to fight alongside Commander Salvo hours before the end of the Clone Wars and prior to the execution of Order 66 . Roan was part of the Jedi strike team at the First Battle of Geonosis in 22 BBY . Roan witnessed the death of his former mentor Nat - Sem as well as his first Padawan . His second Padawan was killed in the Battle of Manari in 19 . 5 BBY . By the end of the Clone Wars , Roan had lost his faith in the Force and the Jedi High Council . A sarcastic and bitter man , his connection to the Force became weak , and he struggled to use even elementary powers , getting by on experience and skill alone . Roan fought in the Battle of Deko Neimoidia alongside the 22nd Air Combat Wing , including the Republic commandos of Ion Team . He earned the respect of Captain Climber through the course of battling CIS enemies in various campaigns together . Roan Shryne was one of six Jedi who participated in the Battle of Murkhana , part of the Outer Rim Sieges in 19 BBY , while the Galactic Republic was searching for Grievous following his " failed " abduction of Palpatine . In the midst of the battle , Shryne saved Captain Climber ' s life while they were performing reconnaissance of a key medcenter that was housing a targeted shield generator . Climber later returned the favor by deliberately misdirecting an ambush per Commander Salvo ' s orders that would have otherwise killed Masters Roan Shryne , Bol Chatak , and Padawan Olee Starstone , thus sparing them from the initial onslaught of Order 66 . Order 66 and the Jedi Purge . The trio deliberately allowed themselves to be captured by the Galactic Empire when they were disguised as CIS mercenaries . However , they encountered Darth Vader before they could leave Murkhana . In a duel instigated by Bol Chatak , Vader revealed his overwhelming strength , as he brought Chatak to her knees before decapitating her . Fortunately for Shryne and Starstone , Vader was distracted , and they managed to escape Imperial custody due to Shryne ' s use of a mind trick on an unsuspecting clone trooper . With assistance and a fair amount of deception by Cash Garrulan , the Jedi managed to escape Murkhana aboard a CloakShape fighter . They eventually rendezvoused with the " Drunk Dancer " , captained by Shryne ' s biological mother , Jula Shryne . Starstone , rather than Shryne , took the lead in gathering together survivors of the Great Jedi Purge . Shryne decided to give up the Jedi way and join up with the smuggler crew under his mother , discarding a lightsaber and his use of the Force in exchange for a blaster and his wits . Shryne tried to help the crew deliver Senator Fang Zar from Alderaan to Sern Prime as their first smuggling job together . However , Zar was slain by Vader , who also injured Jula with his saber throw . Despite trying to embrace a new life and hide out as suggested by the Jedi Temple on his Jedi beacon transceiver , Shryne ' s true Jedi nature could not be forever denied , especially in the process of watching Olee Starstone naively falling into the Emperor ' s traps before his eyes . During a point at the Imperial subjugation of Kashyyyk , Shryne suddenly re - engaged himself as a Jedi Knight , shortly after Darth Vader had landed on the scene via his " Theta " - class T - 2c shuttle , destroying Wookiee warriors and anything else in his path . Specifically , just prior to Shryne ' s arrival , Vader had dispatched defending Jedi Knights Siadem Forte and Iwo Kulka by beheading them simultaneously in one sweep , critically injured Padawan Klossi Anno and Agricultural Corps members Jambe Lu and Nam Poorf , and shortly engaged Olee Starstone afterwards . Intrepidly , Roan Shryne suddenly intervened on the scene , calling to his hand Forte ' s lightsaber from the balcony floor and decapitating Commander Appo right in front of Darth Vader , challenging the Sith apprentice to a duel . By doing so he allowed the " Dancer " crew and the younger Jedi to escape . The fateful duel against Vader ended in Shryne being dealt mortal injuries from force charged wood planks , despite some ingenious defensive and offensive tactics and insights during the battle , and only after Vader used Force Throw to hurl objects at Shryne from all directions , which quickly overwhelmed Shryne ' s defenses . However , the Dark Lord did not kill him outright , but rather decided to revel in telling the dying Jedi of the truth behind the Emperor ' s identity as a Sith Lord ; the fact he was the Sith Apprentice of Lord Sidious ; then finally , his former identity as Anakin Skywalker . This , he believed , was the final insult to the dying Jedi , letting him know how utterly the Order had been destroyed from within . However , Roan still died happy , sarcastically thanking Vader for causing him to become one again with the Force . In the moments before his death , he recalled a Force vision he had experienced which , although it predicted the circumstances of his death , gave him peace in knowing that the Force would never die . As more Jedi were exterminated across the galaxy , the newly - made Galactic Emperor Palpatine ordered his Grand Vizier Sate Pestage to cover up the reasons for the Jedi ' s death . Pestage complied a to fabricate the Jedi ' s reasons for death . Shryne ' s report , reported by Commander Bow , stated that the Jedi Knight was executed for repeatedly disrupting Imperial recruitment efforts on Kashyyyk . Personality and traits . Roan Shryne was known for having a rather pessimistic personality , possibly because he lost two Padawans before Order 66 . He also had a tendency to be sarcastic at times . Despite his sarcastic , bitter and pessimistic nature , Shryne ' s heart was in the right place and he sacrificed his life to help the other Jedi escape from Darth Vader . He also had a strong spirit and drive , something which even Darth Vader respected ( going so far to say that he would find an apprentice with the same spirit Shryne had ) . Shryne was very close friends with Climber , so close that the clone refused to execute him when he received Order 66 . He also cared a great deal about Olee Starstone , even though she was not his Padawan , and was determined not to allow her to die , as his last two Padawans had . Shryne was also fond of Bol Chatak and felt sorrow when she was killed . Powers and abilities . Roan Shryne was well trained in lightsaber combat , being able to hold his own against Darth Vader for a lengthy period of time , even though he was wielding an unfamiliar lightsaber . He managed to land two blows on the Sith Lord before being defeated . It should be noted that Vader defeated him not through lightsaber prowess , but through superior command of the Force . As time went on , Shryne ' s connection to the Force became weak and he struggled to use even simple Force powers , getting by on experience and skill alone . Gradually his Force connection returned and when he faced Vader for the final time , Olee Starstone knew he was a Jedi once more . Just before he died , Shryne had a vision of the future , foreseeing the Battle of Endor which would take place over two decades later . He was also reasonably skilled with the Mind trick ability , having successfully utilized it against a clone trooper . Behind the scenes . In 2013 , Hasbro revealed that Shryne would be coming in an action figure multipack along with fellow Jedi Sarrissa Jeng and Sephjet Josall , as well as Clone commander Ponds . Though Shryne wields a blue lightsaber , the figure appears to come with a green blade .
