Micah Giiett Micah Giiett was a male Human who served the Jedi Order during the final years of the Galactic Republic before the return of the Sith Lords . A highly respected member of the Jedi High Council , Master Giiett served for many years prior to the Yinchorri Uprising of 33 BBY . A master swordsman , Master Giiett had training in the ways of the Jedi Sentinel , believing that Jedi should not rely solely on the Force to get the job done . A contemporary of the Master of the Order , Master Mace Windu , and fellow Councilor Plo Koon , Giiett ' s final mission took him to the planet Yinchorr . There Giiett fought valiantly , sacrificing himself in the end so that his comrades could escape . Biography . If Micah Giiett had a traditional Jedi upbringing , he was most certainly discovered by doctors on his homeworld to be Force - sensitive ; doctors who then would have notified the Jedi Temple of their discovery . After being recruited by a member of the Acquisition Division , Giiett would have been inducted into the Temple ' s academy on Coruscant and begun training in a clan of younglings . Eventually graduating from the academy , Giiett was chosen by a Jedi Master to continue his training in the field . After years of study , Giiett passed the Trials of Knighthood and was promoted to a full Knight of the Order . Following the path of the Jedi Sentinel , Jedi Giiett eventually was promoted to the rank of Master himself . A well respected man within the Order and a wielder of dual yellow - bladed lightsabers , Giiett ' s unusual style of teaching made him identifiable as a Sentinel ; he often would point out to his students that they could not and should not rely solely on the Force to solve their problems . One of his most prolific teaching methods involved four cups and four stones . He would tell his students that three of the stones were white , and one of them was black . Hiding each stone under one cup he would shuffle the cups and ask where the black stone was . Using the Force to track the cup they believed the black stone to be under , most students would accurately point to the cup where Master Giiett had said he put the black stone . In fact however , through slight of hand there was no black stone in play : all cups had a white stone under it . The lesson of the demonstration was that , while the use of the Force could make things easy , a Jedi should not be so overconfident that they did not expect the unexpected or believe everything they saw . This trick derived from the Master ' s belief that any trained Force - user could make a good gambler , but the Force doesn ' t trump the powers of a logical and attentive mind . In 53 BBY , Giiett and Yoda summoned Jedi Masters Qui - Gon Jinn and Tahl along with Jinn ' s Padawan Xanatos and masterless Orykan Tamarik . The two Jedi dispatched the team to Telos to settle a civil war on the planet . After Xanatos challenged Yoda and the briefing was concluded , Giiett soberly and reflectivly asked if Xanatos was ready to become a Jedi Knight . Yoda replied by saying that if he was not ready then he could never become a Jedi . The mission saw Xanatos turn to the dark side and abandon the Jedi Order . During his tenure on the Jedi High Council , Giiett would embark on some missions in service to the Order . When he was away for long periods of time , the Jedi Knight Ki - Adi - Mundi would sit in for Giiett . At one stage , Qui - Gon Jinn ' s Jedi Padawan Obi - Wan Kenobi briefly left the Jedi to assist The Young on Melida / Daan in 44 BBY . When he returned , he appealed to the council to return , and it was Mundi that sat in for Giiett at this time . A couple of years later , Jinn was kidnapped by the scientist Jenna Zan Arbor . Giiett had returned from a mission and resumed his duties on the council . Jinn was rescued sometime later on Simpla - 12 . At some point , Masters Giiett and Koon were assigned a mission to Ord Mantell . The famed chef , Slabba Drewl , had been captured by the notorious Corpo the Hutt and the Jedi were petitioned to send a rescue party . Bargaining with the Hutt , the Master Giiett entered into a cooking match with the Hutt ' s personal kitchen droid , MREM - 02 ; if Giiett won the contest , Drewl would be freed from his cell . While Giiett prepared two small dishes of Squirmer Stew , the portly Jedi instructed Master Koon to sabotage the droid ' s ingredients . The Kel Dor secretly replaced the droid ' s seebo sauce with droid oil , and slips gundark droppings , Rakririan Burnout Sauce and Bothan foot powder into the competition ' s pot . While Master Giiett ' s platters do not overwhelm the judge ' s , the droid ' s ruined meals can not compete and the Jedi is named victorious . Staying true to his word , Corpo releases the imprisoned chef and the Jedi return him to Coruscant . Master Giiett was at the Temple when he selected a young woman to train as a Padawan ; this Kuati native would go on to be his last apprentice , she was named Bultar Swan . In 33 BBY Master Giiett was assigned by the Council to a mission that would see the end of the Yinchorri Uprising . One of several Masters assigned to the mission , Master Giiett left young Swan at the Temple and boarded one of three " Consular " - class cruisers along with Master Koon , Jedi Lilit Twoseas , and her Padawan K ' Kruhk . Heading for Yibikkoror , Giiett demonstrated the lightsaber - resistant properties of cortosis vambrace s to Twoseas ' Padawan . Upon their ships arrival in orbit over Yibikkoror Giiett ' s cruiser was attacked by Yinchorri attack ship s and they were forced to take extreme measures . Baiting their attackers with the launch of an empty escape pod , the Jedi managed to crash land their damaged ship on a floating residence platform , the Jedi fought their way through swarms of flutter - pack equipped Yinchorri . While Master Koon used the planet ' s gases to blind their assailants , Master Giiett contacted Master Adi Gallia ' s cruiser for immediate rescue . Escaping the planet with Masters Gallia , Eeth Koth , and Tsui Choi , the Yibikkoror group headed to Yinchorr to aid Master Mace Windu ' s team on the ground . Under the leadership of Master Koth , Masters Giiett , Koon , and Twoseas met up with Windu after fighting their way through the Yinchorri warriors . Covering their comrades ' retreat , Masters Giiett and Koon joined with Master Qui - Gon Jinn and his Padawan Obi - Wan Kenobi in fighting back the savage warriors . As the fighting abated for a short period , the Jedi gathered to plan strategy when a lone warrior ambushed the group and mortally wounded Giiett . Bleeding profusely , Giiett ordered his comrades to drag him next to a downed tank and leave him . Warning off Jinn ' s feelings of revenge Giiett handed his life - friend Plo Koon one of his sabers to be memorialized in the Temple . Holding on to the other , he sent his friends away and waited for the Yinchorri to approach . As the brutal species surrounded the tank , Giiett lured them closer with promises of revealing the secrets of his Order . As they came close Giiett told them that Jedi knew the meaning of sacrifice and ignited his lightsaber against the tank ' s fuel cells , destroying the tank , the Yinchorri , and himself . Legacy . With Giiett ' s death , all of the remaining members of the High Council sensed his death and mourned him quietly . On Coruscant the mysterious Dark Lord of the Sith , Darth Sidious , also felt his passing , informing his apprentice , Darth Maul , of his plan ' s success . When the rest of the Jedi teams returned to Coruscant , Master Koon placed Giiett ' s surviving lightsaber on the Master ' s old seat in reverence to his fallen friend . Master of the Order Mace Windu led the vote on who was to replace Giiett on the Council ; many of the Masters suggested Master Jinn though Windu thought Jedi Ki - Adi - Mundi would be a more suitable candidate . Having served as a substitute Councilor for Giiett in the past , the Council agreed to promote Mundi to the rank of Master and have him sit on the Council . Additionally , the process of reassigning Padawan Swan a new master was started , resulting in Giiett ' s friend , Master Koon , taking on the training of the Kuati woman to Knighthood . Many years later , after the fall of the Republic and the near - extermination of the Jedi Order , many of the surviving Jedi went into hiding . When Master Dass Jennir encountered Master Kai Hudorra in front of the burning Jedi Temple , he asked Hudorra what he was going to do with his life if not fight . Hudorra replied that Giiett had once said that a person skilled with the Force could make a successful living as a gambler . Personality and traits . Master Giiett was a portly man , with three thick rows of hair on his otherwise shaven head . A wise Jedi Master with an unusual style of teaching , Master Giiett ' s methods were unorthodox but followed closely with the Jedi teachings . While a follower of the will of the Force , Giiett did not cast off all other methods to success believing that many solutions could be found through common sense or common skill , rather then through reliance on the Force ' s power . A close friend with fellow Councilor Master Plo Koon , Giiett and the Kel Dor had a friendship that bewildered many of their colleagues . Engaging in a strange parlance , the two often hurled insults at each other or appeared to one - up the other throughout their constant banter . However the Masters described that this way of speaking lightened the mood on the many dangerous missions they were involved in and helped them fight through the terrors they faced . Powers and abilities . A master of lightsaber wielding , Master Giiett was an expert practitioner of the art of Jar ' Kai , an accelerated version of the traditional Form VI of lightsaber combat which called for the use of two sabers . Building dual blades with yellow lightsaber crystal s at their core , Master Giiett had chosen the path of the Sentinel which suited his belief that the Jedi should not be solely reliant on their Force abilities . Behind the scenes . Throughout several of Giiett ' s appearances his name is constantly misspelled , with the errors consisting of both " Giett " and " Giiet " . In the 44 BBY novel " " , Ki - Adi - Mundi is seen as a member of the Jedi High Council . This runs counter to " " in 33 BBY as Mundi is not a member of the Council and succeeds Giiett . This was later fixed in " " , with Mundi confirmed as sitting in for Giiett when he was on missions .
