Sephjet Josall

Sephjet Josall was a male Human Jedi Knight serving the Jedi Order during the waning years of the Galactic Republic.

Biography

Discovered to be Force-sensitive during infancy, Sephjet Josall was taken to the Coruscant Jedi Temple for training in the ways of the Force. Eventually graduating from the Temple's academy, Josall was selected to be a Padawan by a Jedi Master. After years of study, and having constructed a blue-bladed lightsaber, Josall went on to pass his Trials of Knighthood and was given the rank of Jedi Knight by the Jedi High Council.

In 22 BBY, Jedi Josall was stationed at the Temple when Master of the Order Mace Windu rallied all available Jedi to join a strike team to free the captured Jedi Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker, as well as Senator of Naboo, Padmé Amidala from execution by the Confederacy of Independent Systems. Arriving on the dusty plains of the foundry world, Jedi Josall aided in storming the Petranaki arena with about 200 comrades in order to free the prisoners. Armed with an extra lightsaber, Josall was assigned to pass it to one of the captured Jedi with the help of Nicanas Tassu. Rushing the arena floor, Josall and Tassu were able to pass on their spare weapons swiftly.
