Sora Bulq / Legends Sora Bulq was a Weequay Jedi Master from the Bulq family on Ruul . Renowned among the Jedi for his skill with a lightsaber , he mastered every form of lightsaber combat known among the Jedi , becoming one of their greatest Weapon Master s . Bulq was therefore recruited by his colleague , Mace Windu , to assist in the refinement of Vaapad , Windu ' s new combat form . However , Vaapad required that the user dance along the edge of the dark side of the Force , and Bulq fell captive to the darkness . He pursued his studies of the dark side in secret until Count Dooku captured him during the earliest days of the Clone Wars and turned him fully to the dark side . Bulq reemerged as a secret agent of Dooku ' s , calling together several Jedi who were unwilling to fight for the Galactic Republic in an attempt to create a schism in the Jedi Order . Instead of setting up Windu to look like an assassin , the meeting saw Windu expose Bulq ' s scheme , learning that he had fallen to the dark side and convincing those Jedi dissidents who survived to rejoin the Order . Bulq then turned to Dooku ' s side , where he commanded the Dark Acolyte s , a collection of other Jedi who had fallen to the dark side and joined the Confederacy of Independent Systems . Bulq was one of the highest - profile Jedi traitors in all the war , having taken part in the of former Supreme Chancellor Finis Valorum . Later , he was placed at the head of the Morgukai Shadow Army on Saleucami . When that army was besieged in the closing months of the Clone Wars , the Separatists could not hold out against the Republic . Bulq managed to kill Jedi Master Oppo Rancisis of the High Council , but was no match for Master Quinlan Vos , who had served as a double agent for Dooku before rejecting the dark side and killing Bulq in a final duel . Biography . Master of the lightsaber . Sora Bulq was born into the Bulq family , a wealthy Weequay merchant clan which owned most of Ruul , a moon of the Weequay homeworld , Sriluur , and on which they had their estate . Bulq spent time on both Sriluur and Ruul before being taken in by the Jedi Order as an infant after having been identified as Force - sensitive . Bulq was contemplative and philosophically inclined , preferring long meditation before deciding on any course of action . Grand Master Yoda recalled Bulq as always having been emotionally balanced and strong in the Force , even from a young age . Bulq lacked a great connection to his Weequay heritage , rejecting his species ' s use of Quay totems to interpret the will of the god Quay . He saw the spheres , which returned answers after being shaken , as no more than toys . He believed many of his species held Jedi potential , but were limited by such cultural dependencies . Due to his rejection of the Quay religion , Bulq was not well - loved on Sriluur and his people took no pride in his accomplishments . Bulq rose through the ranks of the Jedi Order , becoming a Jedi Master and recording some of his own thoughts in the holocrons Jedi used to preserve wisdom . He was exceptionally skilled with a lightsaber , developing talents that put him among the most skilled in Jedi history and caused him to be considered among the very few on the level of Mace Windu . Bulq developed total mastery over all known lightsaber forms , even the experimental and obscure . Bulq ' s preferred dueling style , involved the use of a lightsaber and shoto — a short lightsaber held in the off hand — in a utilization of the Jar ' Kai dual - saber style modified to accommodate the techniques of Vaapad . Bulq became an instructor in lightsaber combat at the Jedi Temple on Coruscant , where he trained a great many students over the years . Among them was one of his succession of Padawans , Mira . However , Mira was not a lightsaber virtuoso , preferring a more passive approach . It was thus that Bulq had gained the position of Weapon Master . Bulq ' s skills caused Mace Windu to choose him as his partner in developing and refining Vaapad , Windu ' s dangerous yet deadly perfection of the unfinished Juyo form . Bulq frequently sparred with Windu , testing and finessing Windu ' s new form ; Bulq was one of a very few to truly know the form . What Windu did not realize was that Vaapad ' s dependence on enjoying battle and walking on the edge of darkness was having a profound effect on Bulq , who had even before that time harbored a secret fascination with the dark side of the Force . Bulq began his own private explorations of Vaapad , growing even more attracted to the darkness . One considered among the greatest of the Jedi undertook a secret exploration of the dark side , falling ever more under its influence . This may have affected Bulq ' s teaching methods , perverting them subtly . Bulq was entrusted with the retraining of Jedi Knight Quinlan Vos in lightsaber techniques after he lost his memory . Bulq introduced Vos to some elements of Vaapad despite the form ' s darkness - skirting nature and Vos ' s own struggle with the dark side — which he was being retrained to overcome . Bulq did not tell Vos of the elements ' origin . Bulq later explained this , upon Windu ' s discovery of that fact , as being a test of Vos ' s darkness which Vos had passed and after which Bulq proceeded no further . It was unclear if Bulq was telling the truth , if Bulq had done so under the unconscious influence of the dark side , or if it had been a deliberate ploy by Bulq to lead Vos down the dark path . Clone Wars . Geonosis and its aftermath . In 22 BBY , Jedi Knight Obi - Wan Kenobi was captured by Separatist leader Count Dooku , a former Jedi and another of the Order ' s most renowned duelists , while on an investigative mission which led him to Geonosis . There he discovered that Dooku was building a confederation in preparation of attacking the Galactic Republic . Kenobi transmitted this information to the Jedi Council before being captured . Being among the Jedi available at the temple , Bulq was tapped to serve in Windu ' s team of two - hundred - some Jedi dispatched to rescue Kenobi . Bulq and his Padawan at the time , Galdos Stouff , were among those who infiltrated the execution arena . When Dooku deployed a battle droid ambush , Bulq fought his way through the assault and was one of the survivors who formed a defensive circle in the center of the arena , though Stouff perished . Though the Jedi in it were among the Order ' s most elite , the overwhelming numbers of battle droids caused the situation to appear hopeless enough that Dooku offered the Jedi a chance to surrender , which Mace Windu rejected . At that moment , the Grand Army of the Republic appeared under Yoda . The new clone army swept into the arena aboard LAAT / i transports and laid waste to the surrounding droids . The Jedi were loaded aboard and evacuated . The battle was not over , and the Jedi turned to engage the Separatist armies outside the arena . Bulq never joined the battle , though , as his evacuation gunship was shot down , nearly killing him and causing the Order to assume him dead . In fact , Bulq survived and was recruited by Jedi Master Tholme , with whom Bulq was friendly , into a hasty pursuit of Dooku to Bakura , where Dooku had a base . There Bulq and Tholme dueled Dooku , though Bulq used two green lightsabers instead of his customary blue saber and shoto . Bulq did not prove to be the match for Dooku that Tholme had hoped for , though , falling to a blast of Force lightning unleashed by the Sith Lord . Rendered unconscious , Bulq was levitated away from the battle by Dooku after the Count of Serenno defeated Tholme , trapping him under a pile of rubble . Bulq , despondent at the deaths at Geonosis — having trained most of those who died there , including Stouff — and having lost faith in the Republic over years of watching it fall into corruption and self - interest , was persuaded by Dooku that the galaxy could only be ruled properly by the Jedi . Only they had the strength and moral purity to govern , and the Jedi Council erred by not recognizing that . Dooku also taught Bulq to see his anger as a source of strength and as a fundamental part of him , turning him fully to the dark side and making him a servant of the Sith . Dooku then allowed Bulq to return to Tholme , who had just escaped his living burial . Bulq rescued Tholme , bringing him back to Coruscant . Bulq claimed that he had narrowly escaped from Dooku ' s custody , and the rescue built Bulq ' s credibility , which would be useful in his new assignment . Bulq did not stay any longer than needed to return Tholme , and disappeared from the Order ' s ranks , vanishing into seclusion with the Jedi considering him effectively missing since Geonosis . Schism . Bulq resurfaced three months after the Battle of Geonosis , calling together several dissident Jedi to his old family estate on Ruul — his family was by now apparently deceased , as the estate had fallen into disuse and was overgrown . Bulq unified four Jedi dissidents — Sian Jeisel , K ' Kruhk , Rhad Tarn , and Bulq ' s own former Padawan Mira — themselves leaders of different antiwar schools of thought , into a group which claimed to speak for all dissident Jedi . Bulq asserted that he wished to discuss the issue of the Clone Wars with those Jedi who had opted to refuse the Council ' s call to service , and the group invited the Council to send a representative to argue their side , asking for Bulq ' s old sparring partner , Mace Windu . Bulq ' s sudden reappearance as a dissident leader was unsettling to the Council , who worried that Bulq ' s prestige and influence could sway even more away from the war effort . Moreover , the factions Bulq had united were themselves sufficient to cause a potential schism in the Order . After discussion , Windu was sent to the Bulq estate on Ruul . What he did not know was that the entire series of developments was a plot by Dooku . Dooku ' s Dark Jedi assassin Asajj Ventress was waiting there for the summit ' s dissident Jedi ; it was Dooku and Bulq ' s intention for Ventress to assassinate one or more of the dissident Jedi and escape , and to then lay the blame for the incident on Windu . They hoped to capitalize on Windu ' s reputation as a hardliner to make the attack credible , as well as establishing that the assassin must have come aboard Windu ' s ship . With that accomplished , the Jedi ' s credibility would plummet and a great many more might defect to Bulq ' s splinter faction . Windu arrived and spoke with Bulq , who greeted him and told him , in answer to Windu ' s questions , that he had disappeared after Geonosis because of his grief at that battle ' s slaughter and his questioning as to whether the corrupt Republic was worthy of that sacrifice . Bulq also told him that he had not yet decided on what side he would ultimately come down . Bulq left to gather the other negotiators , though K ' Kruhk and Jeisel found their way to Windu before Bulq could find them . When they had all gathered , Bulq convened the summit . After the others discussed , his opinion was asked , and Bulq came out against the Republic , though uncertain of his final decision . He swiftly adjourned the meeting , as it was growing late , and sent the others to sleep or meditate . On a supposed meditative walk around the estate , Bulq was victim to a staged ambush by Ventress , receiving a minor wound for the purposes of authenticity . Perhaps because Bulq was not in true danger , his former Padawan Mira was the only one to sense something wrong and set out to investigate . She came upon Bulq and Ventress dueling and entered the fray to aid her Master , though Bulq warned her that she was no match for Ventress . Ventress overcame and slew Mira ; by that time the other Jedi had been attracted to the fight . When Windu arrived , Ventress acted as if she were his subordinate and disappeared . This engendered controversy , but Windu left in pursuit of Ventress . Bulq ordered the three remaining dissidents to follow and support Windu in combat , dismissing his wound as insignificant . He took Mira ' s body back to the estate ' s buildings to tend to it . Bulq laid her body out on a bier and expressed over it his remorse at her death , suggesting that it had not been in his plans . He was interrupted , by Windu , who had found Ventress ' s ship on the grounds and had connected it with Tarn ' s statement that no ship could land on the estate without Bulq ' s knowledge . Stepping back and looking at his old friend free from preconceptions , Windu deduced that Bulq must have been working with the assassin . Windu confronted Bulq , who freely admitted his fall to the dark side , revealing his Vaapad - fueled fascination with it and Dooku ' s approach to him . Bulq intended to kill Windu and the others and return himself to claim Windu ' s treachery ; a change in plans , but necessary . The pair dueled , with Bulq confident he could defeat Windu . However , Ventress attacked the other three Jedi , goading the headstrong young Tarn to the dark side , causing him to attack Jeisel . Jeisel was forced to kill him . When Bulq and Windu sensed this in the Force , Bulq taunted Windu that , with their deaths , he could not possibly win . Windu agreed , blasting Bulq into a pile of rubble and rendering him unconscious , then rushing to the other Jedi , where he forced Ventress to flee . Bulq awakened and sought out Windu , but he and the other Jedi had fled under attack from Bulq ' s service droids . His plan had been foiled . Jeisel and K ' Kruhk survived and returned to the Jedi fold , completely nullifying any chance of schism . Bulq ' s fall to the dark side and defection to Dooku were also revealed to no gain . With his potential as a prestigious double agent foiled , Bulq was returned to more overt service for the Confederacy . Dark Acolyte . Bulq returned to Dooku ' s side , where he became one of Dooku ' s most trusted subordinates . As his top lieutenant , Bulq commanded Dooku ' s Dark Acolytes — Dooku ' s personal Dark Jedi followers , such as Tol Skorr and Kadrian Sey . His position was largely unquestioned , with none of the infighting that consumed the lower ranks , each striving to gain higher position , touching him . Bulq could frequently be found at Dooku ' s side , relaying the Sith Lord ' s orders and learning from his master . Over time , Bulq gained Dooku ' s near - complete confidence , deputized by Dooku to oversee his Dark Acolytes and other projects with the full authority of Dooku himself . Even as a darksider , Bulq continued to wear Jedi - style robes in dark brown , though he swapped the blue crystals out of his lightsaber and shoto in favor of red ones to signal his dark side affiliation . As one of the most prominent Jedi defectors , both within Dooku ' s circle and within the Order , Bulq ' s name , once honored within the Jedi Order , became synonymous with betrayal . Bulq was among those Dark Jedi most frequently cited as examples of corruption striking the Jedi , even their best . He was a particularly sore subject for Windu , who felt some amount of guilt for exposing Bulq to Vaapad , but laid blame for his fall firmly on Bulq himself . Some four and a half months after the Ruul ploy , Bulq participated in the boarding of the " Acclamator " - class assault ship " VCD987 " . There , he and Dooku took captive several Jedi , including Jeisel . Also present were Tsui Choi and Kai Justiss , but Dooku spared their lives , sending them back to the Republic . Dooku maintained that his fight was with the Republic , not the Jedi . He hoped to sow doubt in the Jedi about their cause and his nature , much as he had earlier at Ruul ; he pointed out as much to Bulq , who questioned why Dooku would let an enemy go free . With Dooku ' s answer , Bulq learned that even mercy could be a weapon . Bulq continued serving Dooku as second - in - command of the Dark Acolytes . When Quinlan Vos joined the ranks of the Dark Acolytes at around the same time as the " VCD987 " incident , Bulq attested to the fact that Vos had a significant darkness within him , as he had discovered in his Vaapad - fueled test of Vos . Vos was in fact a Jedi plant , spying for the Order , but Dooku was aware of this and planned to use it to his advantage , genuinely corrupting Vos . Vos was accepted and trained in darkness by Bulq and Dooku . When it came time , Dooku took Vos , along with Bulq , Skorr , and Sey , to Tibrin . There , Dooku took possession of the world for the Confederacy , executing its former strongman leader , Suribran Tu , and placing Bulq in command of the interim government . Bulq systematically rounded up and exterminated all Tu ' s associates on Dooku ' s orders . One year and four months into the war , Bulq contracted Saljé Tasha , through the Separatist secret agent Senator Viento , to carry out the of former Supreme Chancellor Finis Valorum , who was fomenting dissent against Supreme Chancellor Palpatine , Dooku ' s secret master under the name of Darth Sidious . The attack resulted in the the deaths of all aboard the " Star of Iskin " , its wreckage killing thousands more on the ground below . The Shadow Army . In the final year of the war , Bulq was placed in command of a scheme to raise and train a clone army of Morgukai warriors . An elite Nikto warrior cult , the Morgukai were extinct but for Bok , whom the Jedi had thought slain years ago by Aayla Secura . Bulq and Dooku recruited Bok and gained his cooperation by guaranteeing him the return of the Morgukai , under his command , if he would provide the genetic material for the army and teach them Morgukai combat styles . Bulq also recruited almost all of the Anzati master assassins to train the clones , dubbed the Shadow Army , in assassination and stealth techniques . The project was highly secret , with individuals like Vos knowing only that something big was in the works . Bulq traveled frequently to direct this operation , traveling mostly between Anzat to recruit teachers in the ways of assassination and Saleucami , where the cloning facility was located growing in the caverns beneath the planet ' s main city . When Vos returned to the Republic , thirty months into the war , he revealed to the Jedi Council that Bulq had a major , mysterious project under his command which involved frequent visits to Anzat . At a private landing pad , while discussing details with the Anzati master assassin Rath Kelkko , Bulq felt something , but only briefly . Even odder , the Bok clone charged to guard the Dark Jedi ' s " Sheathipede " - class shuttle wasn ' t responding . Not willing to idle here , Bulq and Kelkko boarded the shuttle and departed to Seleucami . Upon arriving at the cloning facility , Bulq , Bok , and Krakko reported to the holographic images of Dooku and General Grievous , Supreme Commander of the Droid Armies . They were preparing to move the army offworld and into action when Bulq sensed another presence in the facility . He sent two Bok clones to find and attack this infiltrator ; it turned to be Tholme , who had transmitted the information about the facility to Secura before dispatching his assailants . Drawing his lightsaber , Bulq revealed himself to Tholme and went for the kill . Tholme attempted to talk his companion at Bakura back to the light , but Bulq revealed to the Jedi Master his corruption and deception on Bakura . Bulq attacked furiously , claiming that Tholme could not resist his skill . Tholme agreed and surprised Bulq with an assault of glass shards for just long enough to disappear . Having vanished into the vast cave system , Tholme began sabotaging the facilities . As a master of stealth , he was impossible to track down . Frustrated , Bulq accepted that the sabotage would keep the army from being deployed and that Tholme could not be removed in time . Instead , he ordered that the equipment be moved deeper into the caverns to be shielded from orbital bombardment and prepared for a Republic ground assault . When the Republic ' s strike force arrived under the renowned Jedi tactician Oppo Rancisis , they found Bulq entrenched in the caldera city with water and supplies , protected by a geothermal - powered theater shield and planetary ion cannon . The shield prevented the Republic from striking the city , while the ion cannon held off the small fleet in orbit under Captain Sagoro Autem . With the Republic unable to swiftly overcome the Separatist defenses and Bulq unwilling to press the attack and risk his secure position , the situation grew to a stalemate . The siege stretched for five months before a chance explosion in battle revealed one of the underground tunnels , which Vos — Rancisis ' s second - in - command — used to destroy one of the perimeter shield generators and gain the Republic access into the caldera city . Meanwhile , Tholme had continued sabotaging Bulq ' s operations for those five months , escaping every attempt to capture or kill him and infuriating the Dark Jedi . Throughout the conflict , Bulq maintained Vos as a double agent , hoping to find Rancisis ' s battle plans from the Jedi spy . Rancisis was dependent upon his battle meditation , and shared his plans with no one . With the Republic incursion into the caldera , Bulq summoned Vos for a face - to - face meeting , their first during the siege . Vos was a triple agent , hiding his spying for the Confederacy from the Jedi but still intending to find and slay the second Sith Lord , whom he had become convinced was Bulq . Dooku and Bulq were aware of this , and still felt that they could manipulate Vos to their advantage . Vos met with Bulq and the Weequay ' s top lieutenants — Skorr , Bok , and Kelkko ; more importantly , Dooku was present via hologram . Vos was charged with hunting down and eliminating Tholme , his old Jedi Master . Meanwhile , Bulq undertook a plan of attack meant to remove the Republic ' s greatest asset on the planet . His troops initiated a diversionary attack , causing Rancisis to go into battle meditation . While he was so occupied , Bulq had the Anzati assassins sneak into the Jedi Council member ' s chambers and attempt to assassinate him . Rancisis was not so easily distracted , and vanquished the Anzati . The assassins , were no more than diversions themselves ; during the battle Bulq himself was able to move behind the distracted and tired Rancisis and plunge his lightsaber into the Thisspiasian Jedi Master ' s back , becoming one of the few able to claim the notoriety of slaying a Jedi Councilor . Vos also succeeded in his mission , or so he thought . He returned to the Republic ' s camp , where he devised a new plan of attack , claiming it had been Rancisis ' s . A diversionary battle covered him and Secura as they slipped inside the tunnel network to plant charges on the main shield generator . Vos abandoned Secura , to come before Bulq . He sold out Secura to Bulq , who sent Bok to investigate Vos ' s report of her position . Though Vos seemed as if he had handed victory to Bulq , Bulq and Dooku — again present by hologram — arranged a final test : Vos must kill Khaleen Hentz , his go - between to the Confederacy and his lover . Vos refused , claiming himself as a Jedi , while Bok revealed that the reported position of Secura was false . Bulq prepared for a showdown , intent on driving Vos to the dark side for good . At that moment Tholme revealed himself once more , having faked death . He intervened on Vos ' s side , engaging Bulq , who lost his shoto when he hurled it to activate the room ' s lockdown sequence . Bulq furiously battled Tholme , whose continued sabotage had become a powerful irritant — especially considering that Bulq had once saved him from death — and caused him to attempt to draw out the duel with Tholme and prolong the Jedi spymaster ' s death for his own catharsis . Bulq wounded Tholme in the leg , leaving him vulnerable on the floor , but Vos killed his opponent , Skorr , in time to block Bulq ' s killing strike . Bulq turned to dueling Vos , still attempting to drive him to the dark side and against Tholme with Dooku ' s aid . As Vos struggled with the dark side and turned inside to confront his own darkness with Secura and Tholme ' s mental support , Bulq easily gained the advantage over Vos ; in fact , the Dark Jedi may have used the Force to don the mental guise as Vos ' darker side . As Vos knelt , Bulq rushed in behind him , lightsaber upraised for the killing strike . At that moment , Vos conquered his inner darkness and turned , rising and striking Bulq across the chest . Bulq collapsed as Dooku watched his lieutenant die . Meanwhile , Secura successfully sabotaged the main shield before attacking and slaying Bok , causing the containment systems for the magma which powered the base ' s geothermal systems to fail . As the orbital bombardment began and Bulq ' s enterprise fell in ruins , magma slowly consumed his body . Legacy . Following Bulq ' s death , his name became known among those who worried of the fate of the Galactic Republic and whispered of the fall of the Jedi . The dark whispers spoke of Bulq , of Depa Billaba , and other Jedi who had fallen to the dark side of the Force , or worse , had massacred civilians or joined the Separatists . These tales , not allowed on the HoloNet , but shared nevertheless , led many to the suspicion that the Jedi could no longer be trusted . Neither the Separatists nor Jedi long outlasted Bulq as Palpatine seized galactic control under the banner of the Galactic Empire . Bulq ' s memory was not preserved among his people , either , as they rejected him for his own dismissal of the Quay religion ' s trappings . Many years after his death , holocrons containing his personal notes came into the possession of Luke Skywalker ' s New Jedi Order . Personality and traits . Bulq was a respected Jedi Master , noted as a philosopher and committed to thinking all decisions through thoroughly before taking action , suggesting that he kept any dark - side inclinations well hidden . Even as a Dark Jedi , he was able to play the part of the wise and serene Jedi convincingly . In fact , Yoda recalled him as ever having been balanced in his nature . Underneath he was fascinated and tempted by the dark side after dancing its edge in the use of Vaapad . He dabbled in it for years as a Jedi , successfully concealing his dark taint from his peers . Bulq may have been more ambivalent about the dark side than he later indicated under its spell , as he chastised Dooku on Bakura for having fallen ; however , he may have been simply acting the Jedi in front of Tholme . Bulq was genuinely saddened by the loss of life at Geonosis , lending credence to his statement ' s authenticity . That temptation was combined with an ideological appeal from Dooku , whom Bulq admired , in order to ensnare his full fall to the darkness , indicating that the Jedi should rule the galaxy due to their superior moral qualities . Bulq had grown quite ambivalent about the increasingly corrupt Republic , and this suggestion appealed to him . Bulq ' s fall unleashed his rage and anger . He was supremely confident in his own abilities , if he had not been so before ; he considered himself more than a match for Windu and believed himself to have gained true mastery of Vaapad , perfecting it with the dark side in ways Windu had not . Bulq was not wholly consumed by rage in the earlier stages , expressing regret at the death of his former Padawan Mira , but after three years of immersion in the dark side , Bulq was quicker to anger . Tholme ' s five - month run of sabotage in the Saleucami facility made Bulq furious , and caused him to regard Tholme as a personal enemy , whose presence enraged Bulq . Bulq , in fact , found it necessary to draw out the duel by toying with Tholme , as he did not feel that a short duel and quick death for Tholme would bring him sufficient satisfaction — Bulq apparently felt that he was far enough above Tholme in skill to be in no danger from this approach . As Bulq had saved him before on Bakura , Bulq regarded Tholme as literally owing Bulq his life ; he repeatedly claimed it as his by right to take in his battles with Tholme . Despite that , he was loyal and levelheaded enough to serve as one of Dooku ' s most trusted lieutenants , leading important projects with Dooku heavily delegating authority to Bulq . Powers and abilities . Bulq was best known among the Jedi for his skill with the lightsaber ; he was known to have achieved mastery of all the lightsaber combat forms , from Shii - Cho to Juyo , and was considered among the Order ' s greatest swordsmen . He had mastered his defenses to the point that there were difficult to penetrate . Bulq was one of the few Jedi to use Vaapad , which Windu created and he helped refine , though Windu later took the position that Bulq had not mastered Vaapad but instead been mastered by it . Vaapad was Bulq ' s preferred form , though he added to it the use of a shoto - short saber in the Jar ' Kai form of lightsaber combat . Not only was he quite ambidextrous , changing hands with his lightsaber in the heat of battle , but also adopt the reverse - Shien grip with each of his weapons . During his final duel , he engaged in the psychological game of Dun Möch , almost succeeding in pushing Quinlan Vos completely towards the dark side . Though Bulq was renowned for his lightsaber talent , he was not deficient in other aspects ; Yoda recalled him as being very strong in the Force , and Jeisel felt that Bulq was as powerful as Windu ; notably , in his duel with Windu on Ruul , Windu was able to end the fight with a well - placed Force Push the moment that he decided his efforts were best used elsewhere , suggesting Windu had a greater edge over Bulq than he was credited with . Bulq himself frequently used Force push in combat , having employed it against Windu ; even after his fall to the dark side , he demonstrated no mastery of Force lightning or any other dark side power . On one occasion , he was able to telekinetically throw his shoto into a specific target . Bulq did possess considerable skills in the use of the Force for stealth , able to evade the notice of even Jedi Master Rancisis . His senses were so strong , he barely registered Aayla Secura and Tholme , even as the Jedi masked their presences from him . Other powers in his arsenal included telepathy , Force sight , Force empathy , Force healing , and the Jedi mind trick , the last of which he expanded to the usage of Force illusion . He possibly used this very ability on Quinlan Vos during their final duel . Behind the scenes . Bulq first appeared in " " as a background Jedi in the Battle of Geonosis . Author John Ostrander used the character in " " as a secret Dark Jedi . " " , released only a few months after " Jedi : Mace Windu " , incorrectly stated that Bulq had died on Geonosis . Ostrander went on to use the character as one of Dooku ' s top subordinates , setting him up as a major villain in the " " and " " arcs of " " , in which Quinlan Vos believed Bulq to be the second Sith . " Trackdown " complicated Bulq ' s backstory , by including a flashback to Tholme and Bulq tracking Dooku down on Bakura shortly after the Battle of Geonosis and having Bulq later return to the Temple . This conflicted with implications made in " Jedi : Mace Windu " that Bulq had not been seen by the Order since Geonosis , and implications in the Databank that Bulq had been rescued by Dooku in the aftermath of Geonosis itself , not of the Bakura mission . However , the accounts are not impossible to reconcile . The character model appeared in the episodes " Sabotage " and " " . Pablo Hidalgo eventually confirmed that Bulq was the Weequay Jedi in " Grievous Intrigue . " However , he was never specified to be in " Sabotage " and " The Jedi Who Knew Too Much , " and as both of those episodes are set past Bulq ' s fall to the dark side , any connection between Bulq and the Weequay Jedi in those episodes is eliminated .
