[edit] Biography
Sia-Lan was temporarily sent to Naboo by her Master to learn at the Royal House of Learning in Theed. At the age of 15, she played a minor role in defending Naboo from Trade Federation forces in 32 BBY as a member of the Naboo Underground.
As a Jedi Knight, she survived Order 66 and the initial Great Jedi Purge, and a month later joined seven other Jedi in the Conclave on Kessel. However, she and the others were betrayed by Shadday Potkin's arrogance, who had led Darth Vader into her "ambush." Sia-Lan Wezz was the first to attack Vader, charging toward him with her lightsaber poised high. She was no match for the Dark Lord of the Sith though, who easily extended his lightsaber through her chest, and sliced off her hand before her dead body hit the floor.
During the Galactic Civil War, Sia-Lan Wezz and Dorn Tavers were portrayed on a Rebel Alliance poster under the slogan "Remember Alderaan."
Reports also indicated that Wezz was killed by High Inquisitor Volytar during the Battle of Skorrupon, defending Skorrupon's people from being taken over by Imperial forces.
[edit] Behind the scenes
Sia-Lan's lightsaber changes color from green to pink when Darth Vader slices her hand off.
Sia-Lan Wezz is the iconic Jedi Guardian for the Star Wars Roleplaying Game, the character used for every game example within the rulebooks.
Sia-Lan Wezz's death during the Battle of Skorrupon (just after the Battle of Yavin) was established in Galactic Campaign Guide. Later however, Star Wars: Purge established that she was killed by Darth Vader shortly after the formation of the Galactic Empire. Many fan explanations have arisen from this discrepancy, though no official retcon has been established as yet. Leland Chee has stated the possibility that Galactic Campaign Guide was only providing a hypothetical situation regarding the Skorrupon death, and might get noted in the Holocron continuity database as "One report indicated that Sia-Lan Wezz had been lost at the Battle of Skorrupon". In any case, it appears that her death at the hands of Darth Vader in Star Wars: Purge is her "official" death, though future material might prove otherwise.
