Huulik

Huulik was a Force-sensitive male Rodian Jedi Knight who lived in the last decades of the Galactic Republic. He served as a general for the Grand Army of the Republic during the Clone Wars against Confederacy of Independent Systems. An accomplished pilot in his own right, Huulik flew alongside Anakin Skywalker at the Battle of Sedratis, in which Skywalker saved the Rodian's life. Like most of his Jedi brethren, Huulik was killed by his own clone troopers when the Supreme Chancellor of the Republic, secretly a malevolent Dark Lord of the Sith named Darth Sidious, decreed the extermination of all Jedi. Despite being mortally injured during the ambush, Huulik managed to return to his starship and set a course for his homeworld of Rodia before passing away. His family constructed a secret mausoleum for the fallen Jedi in the swamps of Rodia. Almost twenty years later, Huulik's niece Taneetch Soonta entrusted his lightsaber to Luke Skywalker.
