Tyvokka (Plo Koon's Master)

Tyvokka was a Wookiee Jedi Master who served the Galactic Republic during the Republic Classic era. A revered and respected member of the Jedi High Council, Tyvokka trained several Padawans, including the Kel Dor Plo Koon. The Wookiee was renowned for his ability to "sense the future," and assess the best possible course of action in any given situation.Tyvokka, a male Wookiee, was a Jedi Master who lived during the Republic Classic era. He trained several Padawans, his last being the Kel Dor Plo Koon. By the time Koon's training was complete, Tyvokka held a seat on the Jedi High Council.
Upon arriving at Troiken, Tyvokka, Koon, Jinn, Kenobi, Valorum, and Gallia met with Nute Gunray of the Trade Federation, who was accompanied by a guard of HKB-3 hunter-killer droids.As he sat down across a large table from Gunray, Valorum, and the Jedi, Tyvokka suggested that they eschew the usual "preliminaries" of negotiation, and cut straight to what Stark considered to be the solution. Stark agreed, and his associates and guards drew their weapons on Gunray and the Jedi.Tyvokka correctly divined that Stark had planned everything from the beginning, and that the summit itself had been a trap for them. As Stark continued to call for their surrender, Tyvokka grabbed the giant table and flipped it on its side, using it as a shield against Stark's men. As the Jedi leapt into action, Tyvokka assigned Kenobi to protect Gunray, Gallia to protect Valorum, and Koon to assist him. Using the Force, the Wookiee smashed the table and fought Stark's men with his lightsaber. Jinn urged Gunray to activate his droids and have them assist, but Gunray's vague order to "kill them all" resulted in them opening fire on the Jedi as well. Tyvokka was caught unawares and struck by three blaster bolts across the chest.
As his last wish, Tyvokka insisted that Koon take his place on the High Council.
