He is a Jedi master and member of the Jedi Council, who participated as a general in the Clone Wars against the Separatists and the Sith. Fisto was one of the many slain by Darth Sidious, which ignited the fall of the Jedi Order and lead to the rise of the Galactic Empire.

In Star Wars: The Clone Wars, he is voiced by Phil LaMarr, who voices Kotal Kahn in the Mortal Kombat series, and also voiced Bail Organa in the same series and Star Wars Rebels, Green Lantern in the DC Animated Universe, Samurai Jack in the titular series, Wilt in Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends, Static in Static Shock, Ethan "Bubblegum" Tate and Dwight Conrad in Futurama, Ramza Beoulve in Final Fantasy Tactics, and Kevin Washington in Metal Gear Rising: Revengenace.
Background[]
Kit Fisto is a striking example of an alien Jedi. He is a Nautolan with large eyes, and a gathered tangle of flexible tentacle-tresses extending from his head. He is at home in the waters of aquatic planets such as his native homeworld of Glee Anselm.
Biography[]
Fisto participated in and survived the Battle of Geonosis and led a team in the assault during the Battle of Mon Calamari. Fisto was also present at Kamino, where he pushed the limits of the Jedi Code with his relationship with fellow Jedi Aayla Secura, whose life he saved during the battle.
As the war continued, Fisto was appointed to the Jedi Council. He was later dispatched with Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker to Cato Neimoidia on a mission to capture Nute Gunray, who barely escaped the encounter with the three famous Jedi. During the Battle of Coruscant, Fisto aided in the aerial battle against the Separatist invasion forces. Upon Anakin Skywalker’s revelation that Palpatine was in fact Darth Sidious, Fisto, along with Mace Windu, Agen Kolar and Saesee Tiin, attempted to arrest the Supreme Chancellor, but failed. Unlike Kolar and Tiin, Kit is able to use lightsaber in battle, presenting his skill by defending opposing strikes, until the chancellor ends his life before Master Windu eventually defeated the latter.
Personality[]
In contrast with most Jedi Council members, who were stoic, humorless and serious, Kit Fisto was a rather colorful and eccentric individual. He was known for his light sense of humor, laid back attitude and his famous smile. He was shown to have fun even during battle, as shown on Geonosis. When the chips are down however, Fisto is capable of being serious and stern, as shown during his attack on Grievous' lair and his duel with Sidious. He also criticizes his former Padawan Nadar Vebb on his lack of restraint.
He is shown to be a caring and passionate individual who was committed to the teachings of the Jedi Order and the light side of the Force. He was deeply saddened by Nahdar's recklessness and desire for revenge, and his sadness was deepened after Nahdar's death by Grievous. He comforted Ahsoka Tano after the brainworm incident. He also formed a brief romantic relationship with fellow Jedi Master Aayla Secura, but they both never continued with it due to their devotion to the Jedi Way.

Trivia[]
- In Angry Birds Star Wars, Kit Fisto is introduced in the Revenge of The Pork Stage, participating in the Battle Of Geonosis. He, like Yoda can, bounces around, spinning his lightsaber. Though he does not travel as far, Kit Fisto can destroy even the hardiest objects in his way. While bouncing, he also travels slow, which is why he does not travel as far. He is also not seen dying or even facing Palpatine.
