Shaak Ti Sideshow Exclusive Edition

The Jedi Master Shaak Ti was born amidst the sprawling savannas and canopied rainforests covering the wild planet of Shili. Taken from her home as an infant, the Togruta girl grew strong in The Force through her Academy training and, later, as a Padawan before being elevated to the status of a Jedi Knight. As a Jedi Consular, Shaak Ti focused her studies on strengthening her internal connection with The Force, shunning physical conflict unless absolutely necessary.

Her subsequent peaceful demeanor belied her abilities with a lightsaber, however. After planning and engaging in the first Battle of Geonosis, Shaak Ti continued to play a significant role in battles throughout the Clone Wars. She was there defending future generations of Clone Troopers during the First and Third battles of Kamino. She barely escaped with her life during a deadly encounter with General Grievous at the Battle of Hypori. And during the war, she was responsible for all Clone Trooper training on Kamino.

By the time Chancellor Palpatine initiated Order 66 to the clones of the Grand Army of the Republic, Master Shaak Ti was overseeing the protection of the Jedi Temple. Despite a heroic defense against Darth Vader and his 501st Legion, Shaak Ti was inevitably overwhelmed by the sheer volume of Clones sent to slaughter the Jedi on that day. Forced to retreat, she aided in the evacuation of several Jedi from the Temple before escaping from Coruscant and into deep space.

Shaak Ti eventually made her way to the wilds of Felucia, a planet strong with the Dark Side of the Force. There she remained hidden in exile for years, training her Padawan, Maris Brood, while bringing the balance of Felucia more in line with the Light Side ... until the day came that Darth Vader learned of her presence there, and sent his secret apprentice, Starkiller, to assassinate her.

Shaak Ti and Starkiller battled fiercely at the edge of a great Sarlacc pit, with the Jedi Master enlisting the aid of the giant creature in her struggle. In the end, however, the raw power of Starkiller proved too great, and Shaak Ti, grievously wounded, threw herself into the Sarlacc Pit, where she vanished in a flash of brilliant light.
