Biography . Sothais Saar was a male Chev who served the New Jedi Order as a Jedi Knight . Following the Second Galactic Civil War , he pursued an ongoing investigation on the continuing practices of slavery within the territories controlled by the Galactic Alliance and without . Saar reported to the Jedi High Council his belief that the Order was not doing its best to curtail the slave trade , especially in Hutt Space . To conclude his report , Saar recommended to the Council his full report , titled " An Inquiry on Surviving Slavery Practices in the Aftermath of the Second Galactic Civil War " , which was available in the Temple Archives . Interim Grand Master Kenth Hamner dismissed Saar after the report , allowing the Knight to report to the office of Galactic Alliance Chief of State Natasi Daala ' s aide Wynn Dorvan at the Senate Building . Force psychosis . Once arriving at Dorvan ' s apartment , Saar began to restate what he had just spoke of to the High Council in hopes of garnering support from Chief Daala . Midway through the meeting , Dorvan had to excuse himself so that he could report to Daala ' s office for a brief meeting and returned shortly after to find a sleeping Saar . When Dorvan awakened the Jedi , Saar suddenly believed that Dorvan had been replaced by an impostor . Not wanting to alert the man that he knew of the deception , however , Saar simply remained quiet as they walked out to the main entrance to the building . Dorvan then realized that Saar had contracted the same enigmatic madness seen in other Jedi and quickly alerted Coruscant Security as Saar fled the Senate Building . Fleeing across the broad Senate Plaza , Saar attempted to escape into the under - levels to avoid what he though were impostors , but he was stopped short upon encountering Jedi Master and healer Cilghal . As he neared her , however , he found that she too had been replaced by an impostor . Recognizing Saar ' s condition , Cilghal was forced to incapacitate him in a brief duel . Rushing Saar back to the Temple , Cilghal checked him into the Temple infirmary and began studying him . With the assistance of Twi ' lek healer Shul Vaal , Cilghal mended the wounds she had inflicted upon him . In her report , she noted that he showed no enhanced Force abilities , something that had been noted in the other infected Jedi , only the paranoia and hostility that had been common in all of them . While Jedi Knight Jaina Solo prepared to move Saar offworld to the Jedi academy in the Transitory Mists , the Jedi Temple civilian hangars were attacked by Mandalorians under the orders of Chief Daala . While Saar was not affected by the attack , he could not be moved offworld . When Daala appointed Han and Leia Solo as Alliance liaisons to the Order , she sent a request to Grand Master Hamner to turn over Saar . Hamner agreed on the terms that Saar would not be placed into carbonite as had Valin and Jysella Horn and would be able to be studied by the Order ' s healers . However , this exchange never took place . Recovery . Later , when Luke Skywalker and his Sith allies defeated the dark side being Abeloth , who had been causing the psychosis , Saar ' s psychosis was immediately terminated . Cilghal entered his cell in the Jedi Temple Detention Center and he revealed that he was embarrassed about his actions and that — although he ' d known the symptoms and had known what to watch out for , when the psychosis had struck it had still made sense to his mind at the time . Saar and fellow Jedi Turi Altamik were brought out to the front steps of the Jedi Temple , where her Daala ' s chosen doctor , Thalleus Tharn , inspected them . When Tharn declared the two Jedi to be cured , Daala lifted the Mandalorian siege of the Temple . However , she refused to release Valin and Jysella Horn from Galactic Alliance custody . Shortly thereafter , Saar was sent by the Jedi Council to Blaudu Sextus alongside Avinoam Arelis to help mediate the Octusi slave revolt . When the two Knights arrived , they found the Mandalorians massacring the Octusi at Arari and intervened . During the engagement , Saar and Arelis breached a building where reporter Madhi Vaandt and her crew had been hiding and relaying live images of the Mandalorian slaughter . While Saar was too late to save Vaandt from being killed , he was able to disable and detain her murderer , the Mandalorian commander Belok Rhal . Saar was later selected to be one of four Jedi assigned to Klatooine in order to guarantee the Galactic Alliance ' s and the Jedi Order ' s support for the Klatooinian uprising against the Hutts and the planets entry into the Galactic Alliance . He flew a trainer X - wing to the planet , with Raharra Lapti , a Klatooinian Jedi Youngling riding in the second seat . After landing on the planet , Saar joined Jedi Master Kyp Durron , Jedi apprentice Bandy Geffer , and Lapti in following Jedi Knight Leia Organa Solo , who had been helping with the negotiations of a peace settlement , to a formal ceremony to celebrate the arrival of the Jedi team and Klatooine ' s entry into the Galactic Alliance . Personality and traits . Saar was tall for a Chev , and he wore his black hair short , browning at the tips . He often sported stylish dark robes which contrasted with the more traditional garments preferred by most Jedi . A Jedi Knight possessive of a strong character and focused mind , Sothais Saar was known for his convictions , his drive to eliminate slavery , and his extremely dull personality . While highly versed in the subject matter that he studied , his reports bored even the Jedi Masters of the High Council .
