- "When we got back, I took it to the Jedi Master Tolan Hing. He told me that the fusing between the flux aperture and the power cell needed a slight adjustment."
- ―Ferus Olin, to Anakin Skywalker on Darra Thel-Tanis's lightsaber
Tolan Hing was a Jedi Master who served the Jedi Order and the Galactic Republic[2] during the Republic's final decades. Based in the Jedi Temple on[1] the planet[3] Coruscant, he was revered[1] for being an expert in lightsabers' inner workings[2] as well as the weapons' construction. He could repair almost any damage done to a lightsaber that had been used in a fight.[1]
In 23 BBY,[4] after Jedi Padawan Darra Thel-Tanis died in battle due to a faulty lightsaber, Jedi Padawan Ferus Olin brought the lightsaber to Hing, who found that the flux aperture and power cell's fusing needed a slight adjustment.[2]
