Agen Kolar

Agen Kolar was born on Coruscant prior to the Separatist Crisis. When he was found to be Force-sensitive, he was brought to the Jedi Temple to train in the ways of the Force, where he eventually rose up to the rank of Jedi Master. He soon trained a Padawan named Tan Yuster.

Kolar participated in the First Battle of Geonosis, the conflict that sparked the Clone Wars between the Galactic Republic and the Separatist Alliance. As a participant, he was a member of the Jedi assault team assembled by fellow Jedi High Council member Mace Windu to rescue Obi-Wan Kenobi, Anakin Skywalker and Padmé Amidala from being executed by the Separatists. During the battle, Kolar's Padawan Tan Yuster was overwhelmed by B2-series super battle droids and killed. The Jedi Master recovered the blue kyber crystal from his fallen apprentice's lightsaber and later added it to his own as a homage.

It began with Yoda and Anakin Skywalker calling the Jedi Temple, informing the rest of the council of their plans and intentions to travel to the Outer Rim and the world of Golatha hidden in a nebula and destroy it before the droids were deployed. At this time he was on the council in Kolar. Mace Windu sensed Yoda's concern, but the Jedi Master makes it clear that he fully supports the plan, but advises caution and not being overconfident. Anakin gets angry at this. Anakin believes Clone Company 326 is more than capable of securing the threat and, with much-needed luck, will be enough to succeed.

In the last year of the Clone Wars, Grand Master Yoda experienced a vision of Kolar's death at the hands of Darth Sidious whilst on the planet Dagobah to learn the secrets of immortality.

In 19 BBY, Kolar replaced fellow Zabrak Eeth Koth on the Jedi High Council after Koth was forced to step down. He took part in many important discussions such as when Supreme Chancellor Palpatine requested that Skywalker be appointed to the Council. He was also present when Palpatine reported that General Grievous was hiding on Utapau and suggested that they dispatch Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker. The Council instead dispatched Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi.

During the last days of the war, Kolar was part of another team assembled by Windu, this time to arrest Palpatine—who was secretly Darth Sidious, the Dark Lord of the Sith. Of the four Jedi Masters sent to arrest the Dark Lord, Kolar and Saesee Tiin were near effortlessly killed and the first two to die in the Jedi Purge. The other two Masters, Kit Fisto and Windu, also perished and Sidious transformed the Republic into the Galactic Empire and destroyed the Jedi Order.

Agen Kolar's impulsive personality often led him to leap into battle without thinking and he was known to strike first and ask questions later. He was also considered a valuable member of the Jedi Council. Windu had a high opinion of Kolar's combat skills, which led him to recruit the Zabrak in the attempt to arrest Supreme Chancellor Palpatine. Sidious, however, easily killed Kolar and Tiin. He stood 1.9 meters (6 foot 4 inches) tall.

A master swordsman of the Jedi Order, Kolar's lightsaber skills were widely celebrated and renowned. Kolar was confident he could defeat anyone, but despite his reputation, Darth Sidious was able to slay the Zabrak Jedi with a single blow in addition to taking out Tiin in a similar fashion.

Kolar built his lightsaber in such a way that it used dual crystals, which allowed the color of the lightsaber blade to ignite with either his green blade or his deceased student Yuster's blue blade. The latter's weapon was used during Kolar's assistance in helping to arrest Palpatine, who killed him and Tiin swiftly.

Agen Kolar was intended to be the character Eeth Koth in Star Wars: Episode II Attack of the Clones. However, due to difference between actor Hassani Shapi who played Koth in Star Wars: Episode I The Phantom Menace, Kolar was created as a new character and was portrayed by Tux Akindoyeni. Star Wars: The Prequel Trilogy – A Graphic Novel depicts Kolar as having lines.
