Luminara
Unduli
this Mirialan woman was one of the many Jedi Knights who were
active in the years leading up to the Jedi Purge of Emperor Palpatine. A
brown-skinned woman with luminous blue eyes and facial tattoos,
Luminara was one of the Jedi Council's most trusted advisors. She also
served the Old Republic, both as an advisor and as a Jedi. Luminara's
tattooes were unusual, with a pattern of diamonds covering her chin
and small patterns atop each knuckle. In the years leading up to the
Battle of Naboo, Luminara provided assistance to Qui-Gon Jinn and
Obi-Wan Kenobi, during their investigation of Arwen Cohl. Some ten
years later, while in charge of the training of Barriss Offee, Luminara
accompanied Obi-Wan and his Padawan, Anakin Skywalker, to the
planet Ansion, where they were able to form a alliance between the city
dwellers and the nomads of the plains, averting the secession of Ansion
from the Republic. Their efforts nearly went for naught, as the Jedi
were almost defeated at the Battle of Geonosis. Both Unduli and her
Padawan fought bravely, but were badly outnumbered by the droid
armies of the Separatists. Only the arrival of Master Yoda and the
clone troopers of the Army of the Republic saved the day. As the
Clone Wars raged across the galaxy, Master Unduli became known as
one of the Jedi Order's most gifted negotiators. She traveled to many
different worlds - sometimes, in the company of Governor Willhuf
Tarkin, who represented the Old Republic - to negotiate with the
Separatist leaders. In the wake of the First Battle of Coruscant, Master
Unduli was dispatched to Kashyyyk with the task force led by Jedi
Master Yoda. However, when Darth Sidious revealed his true nature
and killed Mace Windu, he sent out communications to the various
clone commanders to execute Order 66. Upon hearing the order, the
clone troops opened fire on Unduli, killing the defenseless Jedi Master.
