We’ve been talking about Star Wars at work today and the fate of Kit Fisto came up. As I recall, he was one of the Jedi killed by Palpatine when first confronted by Mace Windu, but that is disputed by my co-workers. I certainly don’t recall him as a victim of Order 66, and there’s nothing about what happened to him at the above-linked Star Wars site.
I can pop in the movie tonite but I’m confident a fellow SDMB-er will have the answer within ten minutes of this posting. thanks!
I don’t know how people can be disputing it. He is one of the three Jedi accompanying Windu when he goes to confront Palpatine.

Since these threads usually bring out the Star Wars aficionados may I ask another SW question that doesn’t relate to the OP?
Good.
I know this has been brought up before but since HBO has been running the entire series I did notice a minor inconsistency.
In the Empire Strikes Back, Yoda and Obi-Wan are talking right after Luke leaves to help Han and Leia.
Obi-Wan says, “That boy is our last hope” and Yoda replies, “No, there is another.”
Well in Revenge of the Sith, Obi-Wan was present during the birth of the twins, right? Did he some how forget about Leia later on?
I know people have micro-analyzed every conceivable plot hole that might appear as a result of filming the prequel trilogy after the original but what is Lucas’s response for this one?
The movie obviously cut from the scene too early.
In the movie:
YODA: No, there is another.
The scene continues (not in the movie):
KENOBI: Oh, you mean Leia?
YODA: Yes.
KENOBI: Meh.
I think Obi-Wan was mostly just so caught up in training Luke that he was speaking dramatically, and then realized he was exaggerating. That’s all.
I think it’s pretty obvious that Kit Fisto retired from the Jedi life and is currently a leather daddy in Austin, Texas.

Orginally, I think the implication was that the rules of the Jedi order disallowed female Jedi. Obi-Wan was stuck on the rules, in that scene, but Yoda was wise enough to know when to dispense with the rules. Of course, then they went and introduced other female Jedi, anyway, so that no longer works.
Did you know there is a Star Wars Wikia? It covers canon and non-canon articles. Wookieepedia As for the OP, yeah he went with Mace Windu to confront Palpatine.
“Kit Fisto”? Seriously? Is Goerge Lucas actually insulting the fans with this stuff?
Jesus. “Kit Fisto.” Normally the movies with characters named “Kit Fisto” are at a different kind of video store.
Dude, you do NOT insult Kit Fisto. He rules. 'Nuff said.
And yes, he was killed in the confrontation with Palpatine.
Didn’t you see the blue Jedi chick with the tentacles on her head & the fine rack?
Why could the explanation be as simple as, “We’ve had our eye on Leia our whole lives and she’s never done anything to show any inclination towards the Force”?
It never once occurred to me over all the years that Leia wasn’t considered because she was a woman.

Yeah, I thought Obi Wan believed Luke was “the last hope” simply because he had been overseeing his life for the past 18 years, and as far as he was concerned Luke was the one all hopes were pinned on. And then suddenly Yoda says “Well, he’s not the absolute last hope, really. We could scrub around a bit lower, and go through this whole training debacle again with the girly in the croissant haircut.” And Ben and Yoda argue over whether that’s such a good plan, for the next three years until Return of the Jedi is released.
Funny you should mention her in this thread-she and Kit Fisto had a thing going in one of the comics.
He plays the lead in “Star Whores 6.”
Seriously, what can we expect from a guy who names is villains “Grievous” “Darth Tyranus” and, with the clever removal of two letters, “Darth Sidious.”
Of course I did… She’s one of the ones to whom I was referring when I said “Of course, then they went and introduced other female Jedi, anyway, so that no longer works.”. I also seem to recall a human-looking lady with some nice moves, in the arena fight…
With a name like Kit Fisto? I’d imagine so. Honestly, what genius came up with that?
“Hmm… how can I name a character with a reference to a deviant sexual practice? Oh, I know! We’ll call that one Fisto!” :rolleyes:
minlokwat, I just took it to mean Obi-Wan didn’t think Leia could restore the Jedi order. No big deal. She may be strong with the Force like the rest of her family, but that doesn’t mean she’d be cut out for it, nor does it mean she’d want to. She’s a politician, and after Episode II we all know what Old Ben thought of them. 
Fine rack? I didn’t really notice cuz I was too busy checking out her fine booty
Yeah, he had a cool character design. Yeah, he got to kick some underwater ass in the Clone Wars cartoons. The name still sucks. Same thing with Count Dooku. The awesome villainous presence generated by Christopher Lee is definitely marred by that unfortunate moniker. Saruman, now, there’s a name that sounds properly stern and intimidating.
