I think maybe the reason you guys arent posting if because you dont know about the characters. I will educate you.

A native of the planet Tatooine, Tahiri was suddenly orphaned as a young child when her parents were killed in the desert by Tusken Raiders. They were moisture farmers, and Tahiri grew up with the determination of her parents. She would have died of exposure, but she was taken in by Sliven and his tribe and raised as one of their own for five years. When she was nine, Luke Skywalker and Tionne found her on Tatooine, and she was allowed to accompany them to Yavin 4 to attend the Junior Jedi Academy. She befriended Anakin Solo, and the two suddenly discovered that they were experiencing the same dream. The dream led them to discover the Golden Globe beneath the Palace of the Woolamander, and introduced them to the ancient Jedi Master Ikrit. She is a very natural child, preferring to walk around the jungle complexes in her bare feet in order to feel the world around her. She was known for her pale yellow hair and green eyes. Tahiri continued to study on Yavin 4, eventually graduating into the Jedi praxeum and training under Kam Solusar and Tionne. When the Yuuzhan Vong invaded the galaxy, Tahiri found herself trapped on Yavin 4 with Sannah and Valin Horn. The two younger students managed to reach Kam Solusar, but Tahiri was captured. She was given over to Mezhan Kwaad and Nen Yim, who kept her under control long enough to map her neural pathways in an attempt to isolate the Force. The goal of the Shapers was to create a living bridge between the Yuuzhan Vong and the Jedi Knights. Part of Tahiri's captivity involved the breaking of her will and the implanting of memories that twisted her sense of reality. Mezhan Kwaad hoped to alter Tahiri's mind into believing that she was, in fact, a Yuuzhan Vong adept who had been captured by the New Republic's infidels. Tahiri struggled to maintain her link to the Force, although she barely managed to keep herself whole before Anakin rescued her. When she realized that he loved her, Tahiri dragged herself out of the false memories implanted in her mind, although she maintained the illusion of being a cooperative slave long enough to trick Mezhan Kwaad. Tahiri then picked up Anakin's lightsaber and beheaded Mezhan Kwaad, and she escaped Yavin 4 with Anakin. She feared that her killing of Mezhan Kwaad had also destroyed her mind, but Anakin swore he would help her recover. Tahiri soon regained control of her mind, although the Yuuzhan Vong language and demeanor remained within her. This allowed her to communicate in with the alien invaders, as well as to understand them during conversation. After capturing the Stalking Moon, Tahiri and Anakin discovered that their relationship had taken another step, as they began to fall in love. Unfortunately for Tahiri, Anakin was killed while trying to kill the voxyn queen at Myrkr. Tahiri had to watch as he fell, and she sank into a deep state of despair. She continued to fight as a Jedi Knight, but her spirit had been quelled. At the suggestion of Saba Sebatyne, Tahiri joined a group of Jedi aboard the Ralroost near Kashyyyk, in an effort to develop a technique to Force-meld minds together. While the exercise had a decidedly military outcome, Saba correctly guessed that the close promixity of other Jedi minds would help bring Tahiri out of her shell. Tahiri was ostensibly promoted to squadron commander under Kre'fey's command, working as an advisor to the fleet which massed as Kashyyyk and launched raids on Yuuzhan Vong-controlled space. Her Barefoot Squadron proved to be loyal and dedicated, and helped to build her confidence as a pilot and leader. However, Anakin's death and her imprisonment by the Yuuzhan Vong continued to plague her mind, and her connection to the Force flared up stringly whenever she encountered a Yuuzhan Vong individual or artifact. She fainted into deep unconsciousness after the Galactic Alliance regrouped at Calamari, one on Calamari itself and later on Galantos when she found a pendant depicting Yun-Yammka. These spells worried Jaina Solo the most, since she too retained a connection to Anakin. It was later discovered that the spells were caused by the Riina Kwaad personality, which was trying to survive by casting out Tahiri's mind. Riina even found a way to use Tahiri's connection to the Force, and the Ryn Goure was the first to suggest that Tahiri had to find a way to live with Riina in order to survive. This process took many painful months, until Tahiri herself realized that killing Riina would mean killing herself. The two personalities found a way to merge, and the new being which resulted from this union was a perfect combination of Jedi Knight and Yuuzhan Vong. After a brief mission to Dagobah, Tahiri found herself bound to a promise of izai she made to Hul Qat, and she requested permission to locate Yu'shaa, the Prophet of the Yuuzhan Vong Shamed Ones on Coruscant. Accomanpied by Corran Horn, Tahiri managed to infiltrate Coruscant, which had been reformed into a simulacrum of the long-lost planet Yuuzhan'tar. Along with the Prophet, Tahiri and Corran picked up Harrar and Nen Yim before fleeing Coruscant and setting out for Zonama Sekot. On the planet, Tahiri found herself in the middle of the struggle between Nom Anor and the living planet, shortly after she discovered that the former Executor had killed Nen Yim. After the Yuuzhan Vong surrendered at Coruscant some months later, Tahiri decided to remain on Zonama Sekot with Tekli and the Yuuzhan Vong, in an effort to learn more about herself and her relationship with Riina. Master Skywalker had one final request for her as she left with the planet: to locate the Widowmaker so that it could be brought home safely

and this is about Saba

This Barabel was one of the leaders of the rogue group of Force-sensitives known as the Wild Knights. Saba and her comrades had been trained by the Jedi Knight Eelysa, during the human's mission to Barab I. During the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, Saba felt that it was time for the Wild Knights to join the Jedi Knights in defending the galaxy. She sent three of her students - her own son Tesar and his hatchmates, Bela and Krasov Hara - to join Luke Skywalker at Eclipse. Later, after the death of Anakin Solo at Myrkr, it was Saba who suggested that the Jedi Knights begin using Force-melds to join their minds together with the Force, using their combined might in battle against the Yuuzhan Vong. Her suggestion was two-fold, to assist the New Republic's military and to help the Jedi Knights - especially Tahiri Veila - regain a measure of their humanity in the face of devastating loss and anguish. Saba remained part of Luke Skywalker's inner circle of advisors, and she continued to fight against the Yuuzhan Vong invaders. When her hatchmate, Reswa, was to have her coming-of-age ceremony, Saba returned to Barab I, only to find the world engulfed in flames. The Yuuzhan Vong had reduced the planet's surface to bubbling lava and eliminated all lifeforms. Angry and hurt, Saba attacked the remaining transport ship and its coralskipper escort. Unknown to Saba was the fact that the transport was a slaveship which held all the surviving Barabels, who were to be enslaved by the alien invaders. As she destroyed the transport, Saba watched in horror as Barabel bodies spewed out. Later, after returning to Master Skywalker, Saba was forced to admit that death was probably better for her people than slavery. Nevertheless, Saba felt responsible for the death of her people, and fought back against the Yuuzhan Vong with a vengeance. That fire was quenched somewhat when Master Skywalker asked her to accompany him on a mission to locate Zonama Sekot. Saba took the offer as Master Skywalker intended it, as a way to take the hunt back to the enemy. An unexpected outcome of Saba's loss at Barab I was a heightened Force-sense for life. Saba found that she could sense life around her in greater detail, and could even sense when another being was ill. It was not quite a healer's skill, but something that Saba used on many occasions to help her fellow Jedi. This ability brought her closer to the Chadra-Fan healer Tekli, as the two worked together to try and heal Tahiri Veila and, later, Gilad Pellaeon. When the Yuuzhan Vong then attacked Borosk in an effort to eliminate the Imperials, Saba volunteered - along with Danni Quee - to infiltrate a slaveship to liberate the captured Imperials and destroy the ship from within. Their actions in freeing the surviving Imperials earned her the respect of Pellaeon and several other military leaders. Later, after the Jedi had finally located Zonama Sekot, Saba felt herself drawn into the planet's immense lifeforce. She felt more at home on the rogue planet than on her own homeworld, and this helped her see that in locating the planet and proving that the Jedi indeed looking for a peaceful resolution to the war, she had acquitted herself of the loss of Barab I. Saba found a new resolve to help settle the conflict with the Yuuzhan Vong. During the final stages of the battle against the Yuuzhan Vong, after the living planet Zonama Sekot agreed to help bring about an end to the conflict, Saba was one of several Jedi Knights were bonded to seed-partners and provided with Sekotan starships.

My vote's with Saba, from what I've read here. Saba seems more capable and learned. And the ability to sense life could have advantages in combat as well, who knows.
