Plo Koon
See Plo Koon on Timeline, Wookieepedia and Databank.

Plo Koon was a Jedi Council master and one of the Republic's best starfighter pilots during the Clone Wars. He was known above all for how much he cared about the clone troopers under his command. As a young master he found a three-year-old Ahsoka Tano on Shili and brought her to the Jedi Temple, and he stayed a protective mentor to her for the rest of his life. He trained Bultar Swan to knighthood and sat on the Council that met Anakin Skywalker. He fought in the arena at Geonosis and survived, then took command of the 104th "Wolfpack" Battalion alongside Commander Wolffe. After his fleet was wiped out by the Malevolence's ion cannon, he flew escort for the attack that crippled the warship. He also escorted the evacuation of Felucia, hunted down a young Boba Fett, led the fleet that pulled the strike team out of the Citadel, and helped retake Felucia. He was part of the Council that expelled Ahsoka after the Temple bombing and later invited her to return. In the last days of the war he won the Battle of Cato Neimoidia. When Order 66 was issued, his own ARC-170 escort shot his fighter down over the planet's bridge cities, and he died in the crash.
