Xo Lahru

OnACanonArticle

Yarael Poof: "We must always strive for peace, but also justice. Peace without justice is flawed, hollow at its core. It is the peace provided by tyranny."
Ephru Shinn: "I do not believe there has been a single instance of the Jedi getting involved in the military affairs of galactic government that has generated anything but endless complexity."
Lahru: "So we should strive only for simplicity? The galaxy is not a simple place."
―The Jedi High Council discuss the threat of the Nihil[3]

Xo Lahru[4] was an Anx male who served the Jedi Order during the High Republic Era.[1]

Biography

By 382 BBY,[5] he[1] had obtained the rank of Jedi Master[6] and sat on the Jedi High Council.[7] Lahru sent an emergency request to Azlin Rell to check on the Jedi Kevmo Zink and Zallah Macri, who were stationed on the planet Dalna but had not made contact for days,[6] and was present for Porter Engle's report to the High Council that Barash Silvain had taken a vow to withdraw from the Order's day–to–day activities.[7]

By 232 BBY,[8] Lahru served as a Grandmaster of the Order and convened the Jedi Council to discuss the threat of the Nihil. While the Order were invited by Supreme Chancellor Lina Soh to join forces with the Republic Defense Coalition in a mission against the Nihil, some members of the Order held reservations against interfering in galactic military affairs. Such Jedi included Ephru Shinn, a Mon Calamari who was selected by Grandmaster Yoda as a temporary replacement on the Council. When Shinn countered Councilor Yarael Poof's belief that the Jedi should intervene in the Nihil conflict, the Mon Calamari voicing her fears that such would only lead to further complications, Lahru rhetorically asked whether the Jedi should refrain from doing so if only for simplicity. After other members of the High Council made their stances clear, the Order ultimately decided to accept Chancellor Soh's offer.[3]

Later, Jedi Master Estala Maru informed Lahru that Master Avar Kriss had requested an autopsy of a Hutt trader who had been killed during a Nihil attack while transporting Vratixian barley. Although the request perturbed Lahru, the autopsy was authorized.[9] One week after the fall of Starlight Beacon, Lahru participated in an address in the Galactic Senate Chamber to many of his Jedi colleagues, who had been recalled to Coruscant. Offering assurance that he sensed their uncertainty, Lahru elaborated on an announcement enacting the Guardian Protocols, explaining that combat instruction among younglings would be accelerated and that Padawans could ascend to the rank of Knight regardless of age.[10]

Lahru subsequently attended a meeting of the High Council during which Elzar Mann lobbied for a rescue effort on behalf of the Jedi trapped behind the Nihil stormwall, which was interrupted by the arrival of Yoda. Yoda dismissed Mann, and Lahru expressed that Yoda's counsel on other matters would be appreciated. Lahru was surprised alongside the rest of the Council when Yoda revealed that he had been collaborating with Rell, who had broken his oath as a Jedi, to combat the threat of the Nameless. The Council ultimately agreed to aid Yoda and Rell.[10]

Two months after Starlight Beacon's destruction, Lahru was in the Jedi Council Chamber when Indeera Stokes and Arkoff knighted Burryaga Agaburry and Bell Zettifar.[11]

Equipment

Lahru wielded a green-bladed lightsaber.[10]
