Roron Corobb Roron Corobb was a male Ithorian Jedi Master who served the Jedi Order and the Galactic Republic as a General in the Grand Army of the Republic during the tumultuous time of the Clone Wars . Biography . Discovered during his earliest days to be Force - sensitive , Roron Corobb was delivered to the Coruscant Jedi Temple for training in the ways of the Force by the Jedi Order . A student of the Temple ' s academy , Corobb was eventually taken as a Padawan after passing his last academy tests by the master illusionist Yarael Poof . After years of one - on - one study with Jedi Master Poof and crafting a blue - bladed lightsaber , Corobb passed the Trials of Knighthood and was made a Jedi Knight by the Jedi High Council . By the time the Separatist Crisis had erupted between the Galactic Republic and the Confederacy of Independent Systems , Jedi Corobb was a Master himself and took the Human Drake Lo ' gaan as his Padawan during the Clone Wars . Taking up the mantle of General in the Grand Army of the Republic , Corobb trained Lo ' gaan on the battlefield . In the final year of war , Corobb was stationed on Coruscant when General Grievous , leader of the Separatist fleet , emerged from hyperspace in the skies of Galactic City . Along with Jedi Roth - Del Masona , Foul Moudama , and B ' ink Utrila , Corobb was assigned to reinforce Masters Shaak Ti and Stass Allie in locating and protecting the Supreme Chancellor . As the Republic war machine fought to protect the capital planet , Corobb and his team were rushing Chancellor Palpatine into a bunker deep in the crust of Coruscant . As Master Shaak Ti fought to defend the doors to the bunker , Grievous slipped past unnoticed and engaged the four Jedi protecting Palpatine in a lightsaber duel . Grievous toyed with the Jedi for a time before decapitating Masona first . Corobb , who accidentally kicked Masona ' s head across the room during the fight , lost his focus and became distracted long enough for Grievous to kill him with a stab to the heart before finishing the remaining two defenders . Legacy . When Corobb ' s Padawan was captured by Darth Vader , the Dark Lord after surviving the fall of the Republic and the rise of the Galactic Empire ; the Dark Lord told Lo ' gaan that it was Shaak Ti and Mace Windu who killed the Ithorian . Giving false information , he explained that Corobb had been killed by his Jedi allies so that Grievous could capture the Chancellor . Powers and abilities . Roron Corobb had a guttural roar that was described as being " as powerful as any Force blast , " and was projected from his dual mouths on the sides of his neck . His skill with a lightsaber was such that he was one of six Jedi hand - picked to safeguard the Chancellor . Known as a swordsman of legendary degree , Corobb was a highly skilled practitioner of Form 5 , Djem So , often utilizing the reverse - grip . His immense skill allowed him to survive much of the battle , though he was ultimately no match for General Grievous . Behind the scenes . Corobb and Foul Moudama were two Jedi in the Cartoon Network poll to introduce a new Jedi to the series , which Voolvif Monn won . However , they were both introduced later anyway . There is a discrepancy in the events surrounding Roron Corobb that are portrayed in the Clone Wars cartoon when compared to " Labyrinth of Evil " . In the cartoon , Corobb and Moudama are shown on a long chase trying to save Palpatine . In the book , however , they are killed very quickly along with two other Jedi . The name " Roron Corobb " is derived from Ron Cobb , the name of the concept artist who designed the Ithorian species for the cantina scene in " " . A Roron Corobb action figure was released in late summer of 2007 as part of Hasbro ' s " Star Wars " 30th Anniversary Collection .
