Biography . Vaala Razelle was a female Arcona Force - sensitive who rose to the rank of Jedi Knight in the New Jedi Order by 44 ABY . At that time , the Galactic Federation of Free Alliances was in conflict with the Jedi Order due to several Jedi Knights falling prey to a Force psychosis . Meanwhile , exiled Grand Master Luke Skywalker encountered a new Sith Tribe , and the Jedi decided that they needed to send a strike team of StealthX s to assist him ; however , the Galactic Alliance Sixth Fleet remained in orbit over the planet Coruscant , ready to engage the Jedi fighters in fear that the strike would be against the Galactic Alliance . Following a fall - out between acting Grand Master Kenth Hamner and the rest of the Jedi Council , Razelle was stationed alongside fellow Jedi Knight Yantahar Bwua ' tu outside of the entrance to the Operations Hangar of the Jedi Temple while the StealthXs prepared to launch . Hamner had been confined to his quarters following the Council ' s vote of no - confidence in his leadership , but he escaped and made his way to the hangar , confronting Razelle and Bwua ' tu . Razelle began to reach for her comlink , but Hamner used the Force to knock aside her hand . He insisted that by allowing the StealthXs to launch they were committing an act of treason against the Galactic Alliance , but neither Jedi Knight responded . When Hamner neglected to call either Jedi by name , Bwua ' tu supplied Razelle ' s — Hamner apologized , and after learning that Bwua ' tu was a relative of Alliance Admiral Nek Bwua ' tu , he attempted to play on his relation . When Bwua ' tu remained resolute , Hamner requested one last time that they step aside , but Razelle suggested that he return to his quarters . Angered , Hamner suddenly attacked them , knocking Razelle unconscious with a punch to the sensitive organ between her eyes and subduing Bwua ' tu with a blow to his jaw . Hamner nevertheless failed to stop the launch and died in the attempt . The Jedi Order later departed Coruscant in an attempt to lure the Sith Tribe into a trap . Razelle was one of the many Jedi who led the efforts to liberate Coruscant from the Sith . She traveled with Jedi Knights Bazel Warv and Seff Hellin — to get past the Sith agents who had infiltrated the planet , Warv posed as a renowned wrestler , Hellin as his manager , and Razelle as the manager ' s assistant . As they moved through the immigration inspection line at the Galactic Center Spaceport , however , they noticed that two nearby Jedi , Yantahar Bwua ' tu and Yaqeel Saav ' etu , had come under suspicion by Sith Captain Suhale . Razelle and Hellin tried to keep Warv moving , but he refused to leave his friends behind . Much to Razelle ' s dismay , Warv ignored their pleas and took several cases of spice from a group of four Ishi Tib smugglers by pretending to be their contact . Razelle and Hellin quickly caught on to his plan , and helped him take the cases . Warv promised to meet them at the rendezvous point , and he successfully to tricked the Sith into thinking that Saav ' etu and Bwua ' tu were simply spice smugglers . Personality and traits . Vaala Razelle was loyal to the Jedi Order , standing up to Kenth Hamner when he declared that what she was doing was an act of treason against the Galactic Alliance . When Hamner apologized for not knowing her name and explained that it was difficult to recognize all of the Jedi in the Order , she simply nodded , accepting his explanation . Razelle recognized the threat that the Sith presented to the galaxy and refused to step aside to let Hamner into the hangar , even suggesting that he return to his quarters , where he was supposed to be confined . Hamner grew angry after she called him " Master " and insisted that his title was " Grand Master " ; however , when she began to apologize , she was cut off by his attack . During the early stages of the liberation of Coruscant , Razelle objected to Warv ' s desire to interfere with the Sith who were inspecting Saav ' etu and Bwua ' tu . She felt that a last - minute change to the plan was a bad idea , and that they would draw attention to themselves . However , when she recognized Warv ' s plan to convince Suhale that the suspicion she was feeling for the two Jedi was because they were spice smugglers , she assisted him in commandeering the spice . Razelle was short in stature for an Arcona — the top of her head only reaching Hamner ' s chin — and had bright green eyes that betrayed the fact that , unlike many members of her species , Razelle managed to avoid addiction to salt . Powers and abilities . The Arcona Vaala Razelle completed her training as a Jedi and achieved the rank of Jedi Knight by 44 ABY . When confronted by Kenth Hamner , she sensed that he was about to attack and attempted to warn Bwua ' tu , but the warning came too late — Hamner used the Force to disarm them and quickly knocked both unconscious . For the mission to free Coruscant from the Sith , Razelle and the rest of the Jedi studied how to conceal lies and their Force presences from the Sith who had infiltrated the planet .
