Sahdra Kalar

Anakin Rhea, known to many of his students as Master Rhea, was a widely known Jedi Master during the time of the Clone Wars. Born on the icy planet of Valen, Rhea’s father was a hunter for their family’s village, while his mother was a gatherer. When Rhea was two, a Jedi Apprentice, sent by the Jedi Temple on Coruscant, revealed to Rhea’s parents that their son was force-sensitive, and requested that he be taken to the Jedi temple for training in the ways of the force. Honored by the Jedi's request, they obliged. As a teenager, Anakin was first trained by Master Yoda in the basic ways of lightsaber combat and the force. At the age of 12, an aged Jedi Knight, Obi-Wan Dorantes, selected him to be his apprentice. Rhea participated in the Battle of Geonosis, alongside his master. Swarmed by the army of droids, the two struggled to stay alive, and towards the end of the battle in the arena, Dorantes was killed, as he jumped in front of Rhea to absorb a gunshot from a droid. In the years preceding the assassination attempt of chancellor Palpatine, Rhea trained hard in the ways of the force. He gained the respect of many of his peers, and eventually took on an apprentice. After the assassination attempt of Palpatine, Rhea and several other jedi fled to Valen, and created a small refugee base for other jedi survivors.

Behind the Scenes
The character’s last name Rhea is based upon the Greek goddess Rhea, daughter of Uranus. Also, Rhea's master's name, Dorantes, was based off of the piano player and guitarist David Peña Dorantes.
