The Incredibly Brave Assistant Librarian?
As I said yesterday, I've started rereading The Courtship of Princess Leia. In the second chapter, Luke finds the remains of a Jedi of the Old Republic and some burned-up records.
He knew little except that the Jedi Master had served the Old Republic in its final hours. [...] As curator of records for the Jedi at Coruscant, the man had seemed only a minor functionary, hardly worthy of notice by the invading Imperials. Yet he had fled Coruscant with the records of a thousand years of Jedi.
Adding to my interest,
The body was gone, dissipated as Yoda's and Ben's had[.]
I'm way behind in trying to keep up with the EU, so maybe everyone else knows who this guy is, but a quick search of the database didn't turn anything up, and I don't remember hearing anything about him. This is a shame, because he sounds interesting!
Was he Jocasta Nu's assistant? Exactly when did he flee? Was he running out the back door with his arms full of records as Vader and the clones came in the front? Or did the Jedi make backup copies of their most important records and send him off to guard them earlier, perhaps when the battles started getting too close to Coruscant?
And how did he learn the disappearing trick? Did he discover it on his own? Did he, like Qui-Gon, run into a Shaman of the Whills? Did he learn it from GhostlyVoice!Qui-Gon? The Disappearing Corpse skill is supposed to be rare, difficult, and unknown to even PT Jedi until Qui-Gon finally tells Yoda about it from the beyond. Knowing how this guy learned it might be important.
If anyone knows more about this Jedi, let me know!
