He may be a Gungan, but that doesn't make him any less of a Jedi.
—Shaak Ti
Jin Jin Tik was a Gungan Jedi Knight from Naboo. He was found to be Force-sensitive at the age of two and was brought to the Jedi Temple on Coruscant, where he was trained as a Jedi. When he turned eleven, he was chosen by Erran Lupe to be a Jedi Padawan. He went on many missions with his master, until a mission in 27 BBY, where Jin Jin not only completed the mission on his own, he also defeated a Dark Jedi and saved Erran's life. After this, he took the Jedi trials and passed, making him a Jedi Knight. When the Clone Wars broke out, Jin Jin was part of the Jedi force that went to Geonosis. He survived and was then sent on mission after mission during the war, in which he commanded the 224th Legion. Finally, during the Battle of Trandosha, Order 66 was given and he and his Padawan, Asad Wrenn, were killed by their Clone troopers.
