Ki-Adi-Mundi

Ki-Adi-Mundi was a Force-sensitive Cerean male Jedi Master who served on the Jedi High Council in the final years of the Galactic Republic. Distinguished by the tall, elongated skull characteristic of his species, he fought as a Jedi General through the Clone Wars and commanded clone forces in several major campaigns. He died during Order 66, shot down by his own troopers while leading them on Mygeeto. (The Phantom Menace; Revenge of the Sith)

The Cerean Master#

Ki-Adi-Mundi was a Cerean from the planet Cerea who rose to the rank of Jedi Master and earned a seat on the Jedi High Council. By the closing years of the Republic he was one of the Order's senior figures, valued for his judgment and counted among the body's most experienced members. He was a cautious and deliberate Jedi, and late in the Clone Wars he wondered aloud whether the Sith were getting to Yoda, and whether Yoda's old bond with the fallen Count Dooku had left him open to them. (The Phantom Menace; Revenge of the Sith; The Clone Wars, "Voices")

The Clone Wars#

When Obi-Wan Kenobi was captured on Geonosis and the Separatist threat became open war, Mundi joined the strike force of more than two hundred Jedi that Mace Windu led into the Petranaki Arena. He survived the slaughter that claimed so many of his colleagues and fought in the ground battle that followed, leading clone troopers in the assault that helped force the Confederacy into retreat alongside Aayla Secura, Kit Fisto, and others. With the conflict underway he took the rank of Jedi General in the Grand Army of the Republic. (Attack of the Clones)

Mundi later returned to Geonosis with Kenobi and Luminara Unduli to destroy Poggle the Lesser's rebuilt droid foundry. Across the war he commanded clone armies in the Outer Rim and took part in the Council's deliberations, including the debate over how to treat Jedi who had transgressed, where he took a hard line, citing the betrayal of Barriss Offee as proof of traitors in the Order's ranks and backing Mace Windu's call to execute the fallen Quinlan Vos. (The Clone Wars, "Landing at Point Rain"; The Clone Wars, "Old Friends Not Forgotten"; Dark Disciple)

As the war dragged toward its end, Mundi shared the Council's growing distrust of Supreme Chancellor Palpatine, who had refused to surrender the emergency powers he had accumulated. (Revenge of the Sith)

Death on Mygeeto#

In 19 BBY, Mundi was leading clone troopers in the campaign on the crystalline world of Mygeeto when Palpatine, having revealed himself as the Sith Lord Darth Sidious, issued Order 66. The clones marching at Mundi's side turned their weapons on him without warning, and he was cut down by their fire on the Mygeeto front. (Revenge of the Sith)

Legacy#

Mundi's lightsaber survived him. It passed from a Banking Clan official on Mygeeto to the bounty hunter Greedo, who offered it to Jabba the Hutt, and the collector Dok-Ondar bought it. Decades later, during the First Order's war with the Resistance, Dok-Ondar still had it in his den on Batuu and told a First Order sergeant that the blade had outlasted republics and empires.
