Saesee Tiin - Definition and Overview

Saesee Tiin is a fictional character from the Star Wars universe. As a member of the Jedi Council from the prequel trilogy, he is a Jedi Master even though he had (according to the Expanded Universe) never been known to take a Padawan learner.

In The Phantom Menace, Tiin appears as a tall, brown skinned humanoid with leathery tentacles reaching down from each side of his head to his waist. In the Expanded Universe, Tinn is identified as a member of the Iktotchi race with telepathic abilities and superb Force-enhanced piloting skills. He is seen with the Jedi Council and as a mourner at Qui-Gon Jinn's funeral on Naboo.

Attack of the Clones sees Saesee Tiin as a participant in the Battle of Geonosis, the opening battle of the Clone Wars. Based on the outline (as of December 2004) for Revenge of the Sith, Saesee Tiin is one of the Jedi killed by Darth Sidious after he reveals that he and Palpatine are one and the same.
