- "A great Jedi meditated here. He returned at points throughout his life to contemplate his many adventures and trials."
- ―Cal Kestis, on Mar Ti Kam'Rom upon using psychometry on Kam'Ron's memorial
Mar Ti 'Bucky' Kam'Ron was a venerable Jedi Master of the Jedi Order. He visited the Jedi Temple on[1] the Unknown Regions[2] planet Ilum and established a meditation site on top of the temple. A memorial to Kam'Ron was placed at the meditation spot, which consisted of a stone with Kam'Ron's name carved in the Aurebesh writing system as well as a wide-brimmed hat leaning on it. At several occasions throughout his life, Kam'Ron visited the memorial to reflect on his achievements.[1] By 14 BBY,[3] during the Great Jedi Purge and the Galactic Empire's occupation of Ilum, the memorial remained intact.[1]
During an excursion to Ilum as part of his secret mission to rebuild the Jedi Order[1] in 14 BBY,[3] Jedi Padawan Cal Kestis scaled the Jedi Temple and discovered Kam'Ron's memorial. Kestis used the rare Force power psychometry to learn about Kam'Ron and his ventures to Ilum.[1]
Behind the scenes
Mar Ti Kam'Ron was mentioned in the 2019 video game Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, developed by Respawn Entertainment. The information regarding the Jedi Master can be collected within the in-game databank when players find and interact with Kam'Ron's memorial on Ilum.[1] The character was named by Ilum level designer Nicholas G. Cameron as a tuckerization of and tribute to his father,[4] Martin "Bucky" Cameron.[5]

While you explore it, you may happen across something special. An echo about Mar Ti "Bucky" Kam'Ron. That echo is a tribute to my dad (1/5)" (screenshot)
