Though he appeared in the prequel trilogy, we don’t have many stories about him and he rarely appeared in </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Clone Wars</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;"> animated series. </span></p><p> </p><div style="margin: 0 0 50px 0;"> <script language="javascript" src="https://live.primis.tech/live/liveView.php?s=117066&schain=1.0,1!snack-media.com,SNM_3471,1" type="0a3efc42bdad5a0af85d15fc-text/javascript"></script> </div><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">His character had a little bit more to do in Legends continuity as he came up against renegade Jedi <a href="https://www.starwarsnewsnet.com/2024/05/quinlan-vos-star-wars-character-spotlight.html" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Quinlan Vos</a> in Expanded Universe comics, but Kolar was left out of Vos’ story in current canon. </span></p><p> </p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The character was only created because Lucasfilm couldn’t bring back <a href="https://www.starwarsnewsnet.com/2024/12/eeth-koth-star-wars-character-spotlight.html" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Eeth Koth</a>’s actor for </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Attack of the Clones</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;"> and they attempted to recast him with Tux Akindoyeni, possibly due to the fact the movie was shot in Australia instead of England, where </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Phantom Menace</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;"> was filmed. When George Lucas decided continuity was more important to him than recasting a character, he created the character of Agen Kolar specially for Tux.</span></p><p> </p><h2><span style="color: #f7e028;"><b>Origins</b></span></h2><p> </p><div style="display: flex; align-items: center; justify-content: center; margin: 10px auto; text-align: center; width: 100%; min-height: 250px;"><div id="snack_dex2"></div></div><p><a data-imagelightbox="0" data-rel="lightbox-gallery-FXsL0kq8" data-rl_caption="" data-rl_title="" href="https://www.starwarsnewsnet.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/agen-kolar-close-up-e1739359244486.webp" title=""><img alt="Agen Kolar close up" class="size-large wp-image-167940 aligncenter" height="587" loading="lazy" sizes="(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" src="https://www.starwarsnewsnet.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/agen-kolar-close-up-e1739359244486-1024x751.webp" srcset="https://www.starwarsnewsnet.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/agen-kolar-close-up-e1739359244486-1024x751.webp 1024w, https://www.starwarsnewsnet.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/agen-kolar-close-up-e1739359244486-300x220.webp 300w, https://www.starwarsnewsnet.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/agen-kolar-close-up-e1739359244486-768x563.webp 768w, https://www.starwarsnewsnet.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/agen-kolar-close-up-e1739359244486.webp 1111w" width="800"/></a></p><p> </p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Agen Kolar was actually born on Coruscant instead of a Zabrak homeworld, and was brought to the Jedi as soon as he displayed Force sensitivity.

According to the reference book </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Star Wars Lightsabers: A Guide to Weapons of the Force</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">, Kolar’s padawan Tan Yuster was killed by B2 Battle Droids during the battle. </span></p><div style="display: flex; align-items: center; justify-content: center; margin: 10px auto; text-align: center; width: 100%; min-height: 250px;"><div id="snack_dex3"></div></div><p> </p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Later, he managed to recover his padawan’s blue kyber crystal and added it to his own, which is why his lightsaber is blue in </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Revenge of the Sith</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">. </span></p><p> </p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">He can only be glimpsed in that battle and barely appears in </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Clone Wars</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;"> animated series, with Eeth Koth getting a couple of moments in the spotlight instead. Kolar’s only appearance in the series comes in the sixth season, when Yoda witnesses him getting struck down by Darth Sidious in a Force vision on Dagobah. </span></p><p> </p><p><a data-imagelightbox="2" data-rel="lightbox-gallery-FXsL0kq8" data-rl_caption="" data-rl_title="" href="https://www.starwarsnewsnet.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/Agen-Kolar-force-vision.webp" title=""><img alt="Agen Kolar in a Force vision in The Clone Wars" class="size-full wp-image-167942 aligncenter" height="483" loading="lazy" sizes="(max-width: 643px) 100vw, 643px" src="https://www.starwarsnewsnet.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/Agen-Kolar-force-vision.webp" srcset="https://www.starwarsnewsnet.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/Agen-Kolar-force-vision.webp 643w, https://www.starwarsnewsnet.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/Agen-Kolar-force-vision-300x225.webp 300w" width="643"/></a></p><p> </p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">By the end of the Clone Wars, Agen Kolar had replaced Eeth Koth on the Jedi Council, after the other Zabrak Jedi was apparently forced to step down for unknown reasons. He can be seen on the Jedi Council in the eighth and ninth issues of the </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Yoda</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;"> comic series when Yoda and Anakin Skywalker brief the council on the existence of Separatist megadroids, and then again when they report that the megadroids have been destroyed. </span></p><div style="display: flex; align-items: center; justify-content: center; margin: 10px auto; text-align: center; width: 100%; min-height: 250px;"><div id="snack_dex4"></div></div><p> </p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">He appears on the Jedi Council in every council chamber scene in </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Revenge of the Sith</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">, though he has no lines. He is there when Anakin is reluctantly added as Chancellor Palpatine’s representative on the council, and when they decide to send Obi-Wan Kenobi to Utapau, though he has no personal input on either decision, presumably either agreeing with the decisions off-camera or nodding along accordingly.</span></p><p> </p><h2><span style="color: #f7e028;"><b>Order 66</b></span></h2><p> </p><p><a data-imagelightbox="3" data-rel="lightbox-gallery-FXsL0kq8" data-rl_caption="" data-rl_title="" href="https://www.starwarsnewsnet.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/saesee-tiin-agen-kolar-mace-windu-kit-fisto.webp" title=""><img alt="Saesee Tiin confronts Palpatine with Agen Kolar, Mace Windu and Kit Fisto" class="size-full wp-image-164772 aligncenter" height="329" loading="lazy" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px" src="https://www.starwarsnewsnet.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/saesee-tiin-agen-kolar-mace-windu-kit-fisto.webp" srcset="https://www.starwarsnewsnet.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/saesee-tiin-agen-kolar-mace-windu-kit-fisto.webp 640w, https://www.starwarsnewsnet.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/saesee-tiin-agen-kolar-mace-windu-kit-fisto-300x154.webp 300w" width="640"/></a></p><p> </p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">As supposedly one of the best duelists in the Jedi Order, Agen Kolar was picked by Mace Windu for his four-person team to apprehend Supreme Chancellor Palpatine in his office.

It would be nice to learn a bit more about him, perhaps in some Clone Wars-era stories that show just how proficient he is with a lightsaber.
