A contemporary of Mace Windu and Obi-Wan Kenobi, Echuu Shen-Jon is a powerful Jedi Master. A servant of the Jedi Council, Echuu was frequently sent from system to system with his young Padawan learner, Stam Reath, on dangerous missions. One of those locations was Geonosis, site of the beginning of the great Clone War.
After years of self-imposed exile, Shen-Jon met Princess Leia on Krant sometime before the Battle of Yavin, and helped her win the Krantians their freedom. He also destroyed a Jedi artifact destined to be used for evil purposes by Darth Vader and the Emperor.
Like Kenobi, it is probable the old Jedi lived in seclusion on Krant while waiting for a sign, something foretold by the Force. Perhaps Shen-Jon somehow knew the young princess would arrive on the planet someday, or that he would need to defend the Vor'Na'Tu artifact , but no one can ever be sure. The ways of the Force are indeed mysterious and strange.
