Gira

Gira was a Human male Jedi Knight who survived the initial stages of the Great Jedi Purge, which was ordered by Galactic Emperor Palpatine after the end of the Clone Wars. Gira was in charge of protecting a group of Padawans, but the Dark Lord of the Sith Darth Vader eventually found Gira and the Padawans aboard a starship, the commander of which was assisting them in evading the Galactic Empire. As Imperial stormtroopers attacked Gira's ship, the Jedi fended them off but was eventually ambushed by Vader, who defeated Gira in lightsaber combat. Vader promised to spare the Padawans—who were fleeing the ship aboard an escape vessel—if Gira would pledge his loyalty to Vader. Gira agreed, but was betrayed by Vader when the Dark Lord ordered the ship's commander—who had also betrayed Gira—to activate explosives that had been placed aboard the Padawans' ship. After Vader explained to Gira that he had broken the Jedi's spirit, Gira committed suicide.
