Later in 132 BBY, Jedi pursued Mae to Khofar while seeking to protect Wookiee Jedi Kelnacca. The Stranger intervened and killed numerous Jedi, including Jecki Lon and Yord Fandar. Master Sol survived. The fight exposed a dark-side combatant whose abilities and equipment surprised the Jedi.

A search turns into an ambush

The Jedi intended to intercept Mae and reach Kelnacca. By the time they entered his refuge, he was already dead. The Stranger then attacked the search party, turning an attempted arrest into a major security catastrophe.

Equipment and tactics

The masked fighter used cortosis capable of disrupting lightsabers and masking or complicating detection. This gave him a tactical advantage against Jedi trained for other opponents. His behavior also demonstrated the ability to exploit hesitation and divided attention.

The sisters' paths diverge

Mae changed her plan after learning Osha was alive. Following the fighting, she disguised herself as Osha and traveled with Sol, while the real Osha remained with the Stranger. The deception led the participants toward Brendok and the account of their shared past.

Anthropological assessment

The deaths exposed limits of institutional intelligence, especially where the Jedi assumed they understood the identities and relationships involved. Khofar demonstrates that superior standing does not guarantee complete information.

Questions and historical perspectives

Did Sol die during the fight on Khofar?

No. He survived this encounter and returned to Brendok later.

The Stranger's assault on Khofar

Source-grounded account

A Jedi party traveled to Khofar while pursuing Mae and seeking Kelnacca. The Stranger intervened and killed several Jedi, including Jecki Lon and Yord Fandar; Sol survived. The forest battle made the mysterious dark-side fighter's power visible but left uncertainties about his name and larger objectives.

Anthropological implications

A small expedition depends on trust, coordination and available information. Khofar demonstrates the consequences of unequal knowledge: the Jedi expected one sort of confrontation and encountered an opponent using different tactics. The event should not be illustrated as if it took place on Brendok.

Continuity and dating audit

The listed event belongs to Canon. The Acolyte chronology distinguishes the 148 BBY childhood tragedy from the 132 BBY present-day investigation; biographical birth years can be approximate. Publication order does not establish an exact in-universe year. Images may show the same character at a later age.
