Legend

one of the few members of his race to and aptitude for the Force, this Weequay Jedi Master was one of the handful of Jedi who survived the initial stages of the Battle of Geonosis. Known for his skills with a lightsaber, Master Bulq was one of the best teachers of lightsaber combat at the Jedi Temple on Coruscant. Master Bulq was also worked with Mace Windu in the development of the Vaapad form of combat. Sora Bulq was part of the small group who were surrounded by the droid armies of Count Dooku and his Separatists, just before the Army of the Republic arrived on Geonosis. Note that Inside the Worlds of Star Wars: Episode II indicates that Sora Bulq died during the Battle of Geonosis, when his LAAT/I was shot down and crashed. However, as the Jedi Council advocated a stronger military presence for the Jedi Knights, Sora Bulq began to grow more and more dissatisfied with the Jedi. He finally decided to break away from the Jedi in protest, gathering a group of Jedi and retreating to the moon of Ruul. Note that Star Wars: Republic - Trackdown indicates that Sora Buld was captured by Count Dooku on Bakura, shortly after the Battle of Geonosis. Some three months after Geonosis, Master Bulq agreed to meet with Master Windu on Ruul, to discuss a mediation to their dispute. However, Bulq had other plans, having turned down the path to the Dark Side of the Force. He allowed Asajj Ventress to land her starship on his estate, and was "injured" early in a struggle with Ventress to allow his supporters to come to his aid. Mira's death only served to turn his supporters further away from the Jedi Order. When Master Windu confronted Bulq about this, Master Bulq openly explained that he had come to understand Count Dooku's position in the Clone Wars. Bulq and Ventress banded together to fight against the Jedi, but Master Windu, Jeisel, and K'kruhk managed to survive. Bulq remained on Ruul, planning his next moves against the Jedi. He eventually made contact with Rath Kelkko on Anzat, in an effort to establish as "shadow army" for the Confederacy of Independent Systems, in an effort to offset the growing advantages of the Republic's clone troopers. He then traveled to Saleucami, where he took advantage of the heat and power supplied by the open magma flows in the creation of clones of the Morgukai warriors. His plans for the Shadow Army were brought to ruin by the arrival of an Old Republic task force led by Jedi Masters Oppo Rancisis and Quinlan Vos. Although both sides of the fighting were evenly matched, Sora Bulq was unprepared for Quinlan's decision to fully abandon the Dark Side of the Force. As Quinlan came to his decision, Sora Bulq tried to sneak up behind the Jedi. Quinlan was ready for the attack, and swung his lightsaber behind him. Sora Bulq caught the blade of his lightsaber in the chest, and the impact of the blow forced the Weequay off the edge of a ledge. With his heart badly damaged, Sora Bulq fell to his death in the lava below.
