Funeral of Saotu, Finja, and Omiyan Beltess

"I barely knew Finja, and I didn't know Omiyan at all. But I know that they fell as Saotu did—as Jedi, confronting the Sith without fear…opposing the enemies of life. They died with courage, and with compassion for the people of Taanab.  They model for those of us who remain what it is to be a Jedi."
