Var-Whill

Var-Whill was a noted Jedi crystallist who lived prior to 19 BBY. In the aftermath of the Corsair Wars, Var-Whill was recruited by the Jedi Master Oo'ob to modify lightsaber technology and create the sniper rifle called the Farkiller. The Farkiller was conjectured to have killed several hundred emergent despots, which caused the Jedi High Council to pronounce both Oo'ob and Var-Whill apostate. Within a decade, both Oo'ob and Var-Whill had been killed.

Var-Whill and the Farkiller were included in Professor Korin Aphra's "Notes on Jedi Heresies." Aphra's notes were later recounted to his daughter Chelli by the rebel protocol droid Teezee-Too in 3 ABY, as part of a plot to reverse-engineer the Farkiller's technology and use it to assassinate Emperor Palpatine.
