Today...
year 2002 was was the opening of Celebration II in Indianapolis, Indiana, USA

Did you know…
Jedi Master Eeth Koth and Jedi Master Agen Kolar could have been the same.

Hassani Shapi played Eeth Koth in The Phantom Menace but when we see him in the Jedi Council in Attack of the Clones it is re-used footage from Episode I.

To play Eeth Koth in Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith the role was given to Tux Akindoyeni. But even if he wore the same costume and make-up he looked so different that they made a new character named Agen Kolar.

Jedi Master Eeth Koth is an iridonian zabrak and was a member of the Jedi Council when Anakin was first introduced.

Jedi Master Agen Kolar is a zabrak and fought in the Geonosian arena together with his Padawan Tan Yuster. Tan Yuster is killed during the Geonosian arena battle.

 According to Wookieepedia is Tan Yuster played by Kalki Rose, a student of Byron Bay Kendo Club.

Among the Special thanks in the end of Attack of the Clones there are two Australian Kendo Clubs: Byron Bay Kendo Club and Sydney Kendo Club. I assume that a lot of the Jedi are from these clubs.
