Unknown Deaths of Star Wars Characters Beyond the Screen

newsfinale.com 3 days ago


More casual “Star Wars” fans likely won’t even recognize the name of Tera Sinube. By the time of the Clone Wars, he was already an old man — a venerated member of the Jedi Order, but certainly not someone you’d ever see on the front lines. During the “Clone Wars” animated series, Sinube pops up from time to time, often to impart some sage wisdom to the young and brash Ahsoka Tano. Don’t mistake his old age for weakness, though. The man can still throw down, and he sports a rare blue lightsaber so light in color it almost looks white.

Unfortunately, neither his skills nor his blade are enough to save Sinube when the Empire rises. To this day, we don’t know exactly how the old Jedi master dies, but we see his corpse in the “Obi-Wan Kenobi” show when Obi-Wan infiltrates Fortress Inquisitorius. Down in the depths of the castle, Obi-Wan discovers a hall of entombed Jedi, all long dead, kept on bizarre display like trophies. A live-action version of Sinube’s body is shown alongside several of his fallen brethren.

It’s a brutal scene, but given that he rarely left the Jedi Temple on Coruscant, it makes some sense that Sinube might have been one of the first Jedi to die during Order 66.
