Oo'ob

Oo'ob, also known as Oo'ob the Apostate, was a Gigoran Jedi Master who lived over 1000 years before the time of the Galactic Empire. He utilized a unique lightsaber sniper rifle hybrid known as the Farkiller, created by fellow Jedi Var-Whill, to make pre-emptive strikes on targets from long distances. However, he and Var-Whill were declared apostates by the Jedi High Council as a result and were both purged.

Professor Korin Aphra eventually uncovered evidence of Oo'ob and his crimes around 18 BBY, writing about the Jedi in his "Notes on Jedi Heresies." Korin's daughter Chelli Aphra later stole the Farkiller from a Slinani Migration Shrine around 2 ABY, the weapon then falling into the hands of rebels that were plotting to kill Emperor Palpatine.
