    I got Galactic Battlegrounds a few weeks ago, and came across the character of Echuu Shen-Jon. Can somebody please post up all information possible about this Jedi, as well as any pictures?

    I would appreciate it.

    Play the game, and the clone campaigns expansion pack, and you will have all the known information about that character.

    Here is the paraphrased biography from the Unofficial Encyclopedia...

    "Shen-Jon, Echuu
    this man made his home on the planet Krant, during the era of the New Order. Echuu Shen-Jon was believed to have been a Jedi Master, trained by Mace Windu himself, who traveled to the planet Krant to escape the destruction of the Jedi Knights at the hands of Emperor Palpatine and Darth Vader. During the early stages of the Galactic Civil War, Shen-Jon's existence was discovered by Leia Organa, who had been working to free the Krantians from Imperial domination. He was forced to destroy the Vor'Na'Tu in order to prevent it from falling into the hands of Darth Vader, an event which many believe had been foretold by the Force."

    Thanks guys. So was Echuu powerful?

    On a side note, are the events in GB considered EU canon?

    The storyline, yes. The gameplay, no.

    Gameplay mechanics aren't necessarily canon, but yes, the general events depicted in the game missions are part of the overall EU story continuity.

    General Echuu Shen-Jon is the primary player character in the Clone Campaigns' Galactic Republic campaign, which explains how his actions during the Clone Wars led him to end up on Krant until found by Leia during the Galactic Civil War.

    Edit: re: is he powerful, Mace Windu states that he was one of his padawans, and he's a Jedi Master during the Clone Wars, so I would assume so :)

    Well the descriptions of the technology you can use and how they look is part of EU as well. But exact strengths and weaknesses of each vehicle and technology as shown in the game, is gameplay issues.

    Yep. I had a hell of a time trying to make a Geonosian arena map since Republic gunships can't carry troops and are fairly underpowered in GBG.

    Check out Timetales, around the Clone WArs, and you find out he had a Padawan who died, and something else. I forget. I only glanced at it.

    ...or just play the game, you get the complete information, without having the story spoiled before you play the game...

    Echuu Sen-Jon was also mentioned on the Holonet a few weeks(?) ago settling a trade dispute or something.
