Bastila Shan facts for kids

Bastila Shan is a brave hero from the Star Wars galaxy. She is known for her strong connection to the Force and her important role in galactic history.

Bastila Shan was born in the year 3,979 BBY (Before the Battle of Yavin). She joined the Jedi Order when she was young. Even at a young age, Bastila became a very important Jedi. This was because she had a special skill called Battle Meditation. This power allowed her to boost the spirits of her allies and lower the morale of enemies during big battles.

Bastila's Role in the Jedi Civil War

Bastila played a key part in the Jedi Civil War. This was a huge conflict between the Jedi and the Sith. During this war, Bastila helped capture the powerful Sith Lord, Darth Revan. Later, Revan lost his memory and was given a new identity by the Jedi. Bastila and the amnesic Revan then worked together. They went on a long journey to find a powerful ancient weapon called the Star Forge.

Turning to the Dark Side

After Revan remembered who he truly was, Bastila was captured by the evil Darth Malak. Malak was Revan's former apprentice. Malak tried to turn Bastila to the dark side of the Force. He used his power to influence her mind. Bastila eventually gave in and joined the Sith.

When she faced Revan again, she tried to convince him to return to the dark side. She wanted him to rule the galaxy with her. But Revan refused. He fought Bastila and won. Instead of harming her, Revan used the strong bond they shared to bring Bastila back to the light side of the Force. She then helped the Republic win the important Battle of Rakata Prime.

Life After the War

After the Jedi Civil War ended, Bastila Shan married Revan. They had a child together named Vaner. Later, Revan left to stop a new war he felt was coming. Bastila stayed behind to raise their son. She was one of the few Jedi who survived a terrible attack on the Jedi Order that happened later. Bastila lived a long life and passed away peacefully from old age.
