Rise of the Empire era

Luminara Unduli, this is. A great Jedi, she will become.
—Yoda
This is our daughter, Luminara. We are poor merchants, and we know we cannot properly care for her. You are the only family that lives close to our little hut. Please, we're begging you, take care of her.
—Luminara's parents, asking the Oyaya family to take care of their daughter


Luminara Unduli was a Mirialan Jedi Master and a survivor of Order 66. She trained the famed Jedi Knight Barriss Offee. She was born to poor merchants on Mirial. They knew they couldn't take care of a child and left her with the rich Oyaya family. Master Yoda discovered her and brought her to the Jedi Temple on Coruscant to be trained. She was trained in Soresu and was a formidable opponent, be it armed with a lightsaber or her bare hands. She wielded a green lightsaber and participated in the Battle of Geonosis, which she survived. In the Clone Wars, she was assigned to Kashyyyk along with Master Yoda. Imperial records state she was killed in Order 66, but in actuality, she killed off her clone troopers and exiled herself to Mirial where she trained her final padawan, a Wookiee named Mary. Mary fought alongside her master when stormtroopers raided Master Unduli's home and attempted to kill her.

Stormtroopers: General Unduli, you're under arrest. Mary: Master, look out!
—Mary, defending her master

The two raided the Death Star and dueled with Darth Vader where Mary was almost killed. This angered Luminara and she ferociously dueled Vader and sliced off a portion of his armor, almost killing him. She left him to die, taking Mary with her. Vader would live on, however. Mary was healed in bacta and continued to be a valuable asset to the Jedi. In the new Jedi Order, both her and her master were members of the Jedi High Council. Master Unduli died many years later of old age.
