- "Dark or light is not a feeling, but a choice."
- ―Jai Maruk to Whie Malreaux[src]
Jai Maruk was a Human male Jedi Master during the Clone Wars, at which time he wielded a sky blue lightsaber.
[edit] Biography
Maruk was a native of Druckenwell and was nicknamed "the Hawk-bat." After returning from a costly mission on Vjun, where he fought Asajj Ventress and lost, Jai was allowed to return to Coruscant by Count Dooku in order to lure Jedi Master Yoda into a trap, a trap that Jai did not know about. When in the dining hall of the Jedi Temple Jai expressed his feelings about how one certain youngling should be sent to the Jedi's Agriculture Corps because of her apparent lack of the Force. Master Yoda made a bet with Master Maruk, that if this youngling were to win the fighting competition he would have to take her as his Padawan learner. After watching Tallisibeth Enwandung-Esterhazy defeat all other competition, Jai hesitantly took her as his Padawan.
On a secret return mission to Vjun to confront Count Dooku, Master Maruk, Master Yoda, Master Maks Leem, Scout and Whie Malreaux were attacked by Asajj Ventress. In a hard-fought rematch lightsaber duel which nearly caused Jai to turn to the dark side of the Force, Jai Maruk was slain by Asajj Ventress along with Maks Leem. His Padawan clambered to his side and begged him not to leave her, and with his last breath he told her, "Never... my Padawan."
