Tiplar Tiplar was a Mikkian female Jedi Master who served as a Jedi General within the Grand Army of the Republic during the Clone Wars . As part of her military service , Tiplar sometimes worked with her twin sister and fellow Jedi Master , Tiplee ; as well as Clone Commander Doom . Such was the case during the Battle of Ringo Vinda , in which the three of them collaborated with Jedi General Anakin Skywalker ' s 501st Legion to oust the Confederacy of Independent Systems from a space station orbit ing Ringo Vinda . At the height of the campaign , 501st clone trooper Tup executed Tiplar by shooting her in the face due to a malfunction in his inhibitor chip , which triggered a premature activation of Clone Protocol 66 , a Sith - implanted directive that branded all Jedi as traitors . Tiplar ' s death cost the Republic forces a potential victory and instead forced them to retreat , while Tup ' s apparent act of treason sparked a high - profile investigation that led ARC trooper Fives to uncover the existence and function of the clones ' inhibitor chips . Biography . Casualty of the Clone Wars . Tiplar , a Mikkian female , lived during the final decades of the reign of the Galactic Republic . She and her twin sister , Tiplee , were both Force - sensitive and were inducted into the Jedi Order , with both of them eventually attaining the rank of Jedi Master . Following the outbreak of the Clone Wars , Tiplar and her sister accepted commissions as Jedi General s in the Grand Army of the Republic , and they sometimes served together in military campaigns against the Confederacy of Independent Systems . They frequently fought alongside clone trooper s under the command of Clone Commander Doom . Over two years into the war , Tiplar joined forces with Tiplee , Doom , and Jedi General Anakin Skywalker to repel a Confederate battle group from an orbit al space station that encircled the planet Ringo Vinda . The ensuing campaign lasted several rotations , leading to a stalemate between the Republic and Confederate forces . Determined to break the deadlock , Tiplar and her comrades launched an offensive against the battle droid infantry led by Confederate Admiral Trench , advancing through the space station ' s corridors in an attempt to reach a communications center . Upon encountering a squad of BX - series droid commando s , Tiplar ordered Doom and his clone soldier s to shore up their left flank against the incoming droid s . The appearance of a trio of droideka s led Tiplar to have her men prop up their energy shields , which they used to repel the droidekas ' heavy barrages of blasterfire . Reaching out with the Force , Tiplar telekinetically pushed the droidekas off their footing long enough for Doom and his soldiers to roll Electro Magnetic Pulse grenade s underneath the droids ' shields , thus disabling their adversaries . They proceeded to the communications center , where they eliminated the droids manning the station . Once they had secured their position , Tiplar and Tiplee met with Skywalker and his troop s from the 501st Legion to coordinate their assault on Trench ' s command center . Trench had requested reinforcements , so it was imperative that they capture the enemy facility as soon as possible . Since there were three hallways that led to the command center , Skywalker suggested that each Jedi General take one of the corridors ; their teams would converge on Trench ' s position at the same time , thereby overwhelming his defenses . Skywalker had ARC trooper CT - 5555 and 501st trooper CT - 5385 — nicknamed " Fives " and " Tup , " respectively — bring along ten of their best soldiers to supplement Tiplar and Doom ' s men , who had been severely depleted in the earlier assault . With their plan in place , Tiplar and Doom proceeded to the left passageway with Fives , Tup , and their troops and marched through the corridor , demolishing all of the droid forces that they encountered . Tiplar and her troopers soon reached the spacious chamber in front of Trench ' s command center , where they used some stacks of crates as cover from Trench ' s B1 battle droid s , DSD1 dwarf spider droid s , and super battle droid rocket trooper s . However , just as the Republic forces were on the verge of conquering Trench ' s infantry , a malfunction in Tup ' s inhibitor chip caused him to prematurely execute Clone Protocol 66 , a Sith - engineered command to execute all Jedi as traitors . As Tiplar was deflecting incoming enemy blaster fire with her lightsaber , Tup strode over to her and fired a headshot at point - blank range with his DC - 15A blaster , instantly killing her . Legacy . Tiplar ' s death impeded the Republic ' s advance , turning an imminent victory into a retreat . Tiplee was shocked to witness Tiplar ' s execution and mourned her late sister . Tiplar ' s comrades brought her body back to the communications center , where Skywalker and 501st Clone Captain CT - 7567 , nicknamed " Rex , " interrogated Tup regarding his apparent act of treason . Yet , Tup merely repeated the phrase , " Good soldiers follow orders , " before unsuccessfully attacking Tiplee . Meanwhile , news of Tiplar ' s death reached Separatist leader Count Dooku , who ordered Trench to retrieve Tup for analysis . Trench ' s efforts failed , and Fives and Rex escorted Tup back to the clone homeworld of Kamino , where Jedi Master Shaak Ti and Kaminoan Chief Medical Scientist Nala Se subjected Tup to medical examination to uncover the source of his breakdown . Ultimately , Fives learned of the Sith ' s conspiracy against the Jedi and the machinations leading to Tiplar ' s murder , but he was killed before he could prove his findings to the Jedi . The Dark Lord of the Sith Darth Sidious , in his guise as Supreme Chancellor Sheev Palpatine , provided the Republic ' s official explanation that a Ringo Vinda parasite had led Tup ' s inhibitor chip to deteriorate , thus causing his execution of Tiplar . Toward the end of the Clone Wars , Jedi Grand Master Yoda traveled to a planet that was the birthplace of the midi - chlorian s . There , five Force Priestesses subjected him to a series of trials to determine whether he was worthy of learning the knowledge they possessed . In the Valley of Extinction , Yoda saw a vision of the Jedi Temple training ground , where Tiplar and a number of other Jedi , alive and dead , appeared as they had before the war . Though tempted to join his colleagues , Yoda recognized the impossibility of the illusion and overcame it , bringing the vision to an end . Personality and traits . A Mikkian female , Tiplar had yellow - green skin and blue eye s . Her forehead was adorned with a tattoo that was identical to that of her twin sister , Tiplee . Tiplar formed a good working relationship with Commander Doom and the soldiers under her command , and they worked together to efficiently eliminate threats on the battlefield , summarily disabling BX - series droid commando s as well as droidekas during the Battle of Ringo Vinda . Tiplar ultimately became a casualty of the Clone Wars , and Tiplee mourned her death . Powers and abilities . Tiplar possessed a mastery of the Force and consequently achieved the rank of Jedi Master . She was adept with telekinesis , evinced during the Battle of Ringo Vinda when she pushed a trio of enemy droidekas off their footing long enough for her clone troopers to dispatch them .
