Callista Masana Skywalker

Early life
Born Callista Masana on the watery Chadra-Fan planet of Chad, she lived on an ark in a deep-water ranch with her father, unhappy stepmother, and uncles. Callista helped out on the ranch, herding tsaelke and wander-kelp. After Callista used the Force for the first time, she knew she had to join the Jedi Order, but could never make her father understand why.

Too old to begin attending at the Jedi Temple, she became the apprentice of maverick Jedi Master Djinn Altis in 25 BBY. She trained under him for five years on his praxeum ship, the second Chu'unthor. Callista later constructed a yellow-bladed lightsaber that bore a ring of stylized tsaelke sea-creatures around the hilt in token of her heritage. During a layover on Bespin, Callista sensed Geith Jiseo's potential in the Force and asked him to come along with her. He did, though mostly to be with her, and the two fell in love.

During the Clone Wars, Callista, along with Geith and some other members of Altis's community, decided to aid the Republic in their war effort and rendezvous with the Republic Fleet Auxiliary Support Vessel Redeemer over Thyferra. At some point during the conflict, she encountered Jedi General Obi-Wan Kenobi.

The Eye of Palpatine
Atlis, Callista, and Geith survived the Great Jedi Purge, and remained in contact with other survivors such as Master Plett, who was sheltering a group of Jedi children on the remote world of Belsavis. When the Galactic Empire built the dreadnought Eye of Palpatine to attack Belsavis, Callista and Geith attempted to sabotage or destroy the massive ship, but had a disagreement about their course of action. Geith, a pilot, wanted to flee the ship to warn the others; Callista wanted to disable the ship's main computer by using the Force to make the enclision grid protecting the center misfire and then disabling the ship's computer. Geith stubbornly went off without her and was subsequently killed. Callista, heartbroken, continued with her plan. Callista's physical body was charred by the lightning of the grid and died. Callista, however, used her talents in the Force to transfer her life essence into the battle station's gunnery computer.

Life after death
She remained there for thirty years until Jedi Master Luke Skywalker and several other New Republic Jedi were captured by the Eye's automatic systems, brainwashed, and taken aboard. Callista first revealed herself to Luke after he was on the run from Sand People--who had also been captured--helping him by opening doors and giving him a safe place to hide in a quartermaster's office, sealing the door behind him. While he was inside the office, she revealed herself to him by appearing on a monitor screen while he looked at himself in it. [...]

Callista insisted that the Jedi destroy the Eye of Palpatine, even at the cost of her own life. Cray and Callista feared that Luke would not be able to destroy the Eye so Cray stunned and transferred him to one of the landers. With guidance from Callista, Cray used the Force to misfire the enclision grid while Nichos Marr journeyed to the control room and detonated the station. Just prior to the station's destruction, Callista transferred her spirit into the body of Cray Mingla, who wished to die and be reunited with her dead lover.

Unfortunately, and unexpectedly, Callista realized that she was no longer able to feel the Force, and Luke was unable to sense her presence. She also found that she was overwhelmed by grief for the loss of Geith and all the long-dead Jedi she had known.

- Luke Skywalker to Callista Masana

Callista married Luke in 12 ABY and helped him run the Jedi Academy. The couple believed that because of the complications of Callista's essence transfers that she could not bear children; the Skywalkers learned they were mistaken when Callista became pregnant with their son Ben in 20 ABY.

Personality and Traits
Callista had a wry sense of humor and easy-going nature, but was also pragmatic and determined. Even in seemingly hopeless circumstances, she could make jokes and do impressions of others. She was also very dedicated to the Jedi way and was willing to sacrifice her life to save others. She also had great commitment to causes she believed were right; she could also be stubborn, utterly implacable once her mind had been made up. Callista, owng to her upbringing on Chad, also had an affinity for water and watery places. Callista was a follower of the orthodox Jedi beliefs in the light and dark sides of the Force. She had an independent streak, not wanting to drag others down while she dealt with her problems.
