Jaro Tapal is a male Lasat Jedi Master and Jedi General of the Grand Army of the Republic, introduced in Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order (2019) as the master of Cal Kestis. The species matters: Lasats are rare in the fiction — Zeb Orrelios in Rebels is the other one most audiences have met — and a Lasat Jedi General is an unusual sight in a Clone Wars flashback.

His entire role is Order 66. Aboard a Venator above Bracca his own troops turn, he fights them the length of the ship, takes the wounds that kill him, and spends the last of it putting a fourteen-year-old into an escape pod. The game returns to that corridor repeatedly, because Cal's abilities are locked inside a memory he keeps refusing to finish.
