5 Interesting Facts About Shaak Ti

Jedi Master Shaak Ti is one of the many Jedi Masters that benefit from supplemental materials outside the movies. The movies treat us to brief moments of her fighting valiantly on Geonosis and then her unfortunate demise at either the hands of a newly turned Anakin Skywalker or General Grievous in deleted scenes of Star Wars: Episode III: Revenge of the Sith (2005). Several Jedi have grown in popularity thanks to comic books, video games, or animated television series. Quinlan Vos and Plo Koon notably benefited from these a great deal.
The Disney+ series Obi-Wan Kenobi (2022) opened the door to many more surviving Jedi stories, and Star Wars: Tale of the Jedi (2022) continues the trend of Jedi stories in the current canon. I hope Shaak Ti, who has many wondrous adventures in Legends, gets a story or two in the future that can join those new canonical tales. In celebration of Jedi who did not get their shine in live-action materials, we will look back at a Jedi Master. Here are 5 interesting facts about Jedi Master Shaak Ti.

Togruta are striking visually. They are orange-red and white. They also have “montrals” or what has been commonly referred to as “head cones.” Togruta also have “lekku,” which are tail-like appendages that extend downward from their head. Their lekku grow as the Togruta age. It has been noted that their markings can also change over time. Ahsoka Tano is the most well-known Togruta.
4. Who Was A Member Of The Jedi High Council

It is an honor to serve on the Jedi Council. Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi conveys this to Anakin Skywalker with “you have been given a great honor” after the young Jedi Knight is granted a seat in Star Wars: Episode III: Revenge of the Sith (2005). Shaak Ti held a seat on the Council until the time of her death.
3. And A Skilled Warrior

Luke Skywalker notes that Shaak Ti was a “skilled combatant” in his passage on her in Star Wars: The Secrets of the Jedi by Marc Sumerak. Unfortunately, we see her abilities only briefly during the rescue mission in Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones (2002). However, in the non-canonical video game Star Wars: The Force Unleashed (2008), you can experience the full range of her tremendous abilities in a battle!
2. She Also Trained Clone Troopers

Luke Skywalker noted that Jedi Master Shaak Ti was “in charge of training the clone troopers for combat against the Separatist army” in the book Star Wars: The Secrets of the Jedi by Marc Sumerak. We get an opportunity to see her efforts in an episode of the animated series Star Wars: The Clone Wars (2008-2014, 2020) titled “Clone Cadets.” She oversees Domino Squad’s maturation as they develop chemistry and learn to work as a unit.
1. She Died A Thousand Deaths (Or A Few)

The nature of Jedi Master Shaak Ti’s death has dramatically varied over the years. She has been killed twice by General Grievous, once in the initial Star Wars: Clone Wars (2003) and then again in a deleted scene in Star Wars: Episode III: Revenge of the Sith (2005). She was also killed by Galen Marek, also known as “Starkiller,” in the video game Star Wars: The Force Unleashed (2008). Her current canonical death is at the hands of a newly turned Anakin Skywalker, who stabbed her while she was meditating.
