Ki-Adi-Mundi

Ki-Adi-Mundi

Ki-Adi-Mundi died in 19 BBY.

Ki-Adi-Mundi is best remembered as one of the steady, sometimes skeptical voices of the Jedi High Council in the Republic's last years, and as a Jedi whose career spanned more than a century. In 132 BBY, during the High Republic, he was a newly made Master who sat on the tactical council Vernestra Rwoh called to discuss the assassin Mae. Decades later he held a Council seat of his own. There he taught younglings alongside Yarael Poof, pushed back on Qui-Gon Jinn's calls for more outreach, and in 32 BBY famously insisted that the Sith had been extinct for a millennium. He survived the arena battle on Geonosis that began the Clone Wars and became a Jedi General. He took scars from an early clash with General Grievous and led the northern assault in the Second Battle of Geonosis, where he topped Anakin Skywalker and Ahsoka Tano with 65 kills. On the Council he took a hard line, arguing against intervening on neutral Mandalore and personally telling Ahsoka Tano she had been expelled after the Temple bombing. In 19 BBY, while commanding the 21st Nova Corps in the Mygeeto campaign, he was gunned down by his own clone troopers when Order 66 was issued. His lightsaber survived him and ended up with the collector Dok-Ondar.
