Shang-Troy did his best to comfort the young man, but was unfortunately unable to extinguish the anger and jealousy within him. One night, the older brother used his identical appearance to fool the woman into sharing a kiss with him, but was caught by his brother. This time, the jealousy was in the younger brother and the woman's true love. Giving in to their anger, malicious words soon turned to physical violence. Sensing the disturbance in the Force, Shang-Troy rushed to scene of the fight. Unable to calm the two young men, Shang was caught in the middle of a fight fueled by emotion. Unable to stop themselves, a misplaced lightsaber strike found its way into Shang-Troy, their master, the man who cared for them since their birth, the man who, to them was a father. That night, Shang-Troy Thanabo became one with the Force at the hands of his two brightest students, and the men he loved as sons.

Finding their master dead, the two brothers emotions amplified to an even greater degree, the two flew into a rage battling each other. Even screaming and pleading by the woman they loved could not stop the fighting. In the end, the two brothers were consumed by their emotions and the Force destroying them both, the woman they loved, and even the planet on which they waged war. Passed down in tale and in legend, Shang-Troy Thanabo's story was used as a lesson to teach young Jedi Knights the dangers of letting emotions cloud their judgment and the consequences of letting it do so.
