Vima - Da - Boda Vima - Da - Boda was a female Human Jedi Knight during the later years of the Galactic Republic , who survived the Great Jedi Purge and the downfall of the Empire . She spoke in the third person , referring to herself as " Vima . " Biography . Jedi Knight . Vima Da - Boda was the great - great - great - granddaughter of Vima Sunrider , daughter of legendary Jedi Master of ancient times Nomi Sunrider , and served the Force for over a century . She was trained by a male Jedi Master who gave her a lightsaber . The Force - sensitivity passed through Vima to her daughter , Neema , and Vima began to train her daughter in the ways of the Jedi . As with many young pupils , Neema grew frustrated by the slow pace of her Jedi education , and sought alternative training . Neema ' s impatience and lack of knowledge in the ways of the Force opened her to the dark side . The dark side consumed Neema , and she left her mother . Years later , Vima received a telepathic plea from her daughter , who had become the wife of an Ottethan warlord . Vima rushed to the dungeon to her daughter ' s aid , but was too late : Neema had been fed to the rancors of Ottethan . Giving in to her rage , Vima sliced the warlord in half with her lightsaber . Her desire for vengeance quenched , Vima realized she was succumbing to the dark side herself . Over time , her ability to sense and use the Force slowly faded away , although it is unclear if this was a result of her fall to the dark side or of another cause . Hiding . With the onset of the Great Jedi Purge in 19 BBY , Vima went into hiding on Nar Shaddaa . Her weak connection to the Force coupled with Nar Shaddaa ' s dense population may have been the key to her survival of Order 66 and the subsequent Jedi eradication efforts . In 5 BBY Vima would run across Han Solo for the first time and spoke of his future , telling him of Mako Spince ' s betrayal , his joining a cause and becoming a General and his willingness to give up the smuggler ' s life for the woman he loved . He brushed her off then as being insane and forgot her by the next morning . At some point between 3 ABY and 9 ABY , Vima was imprisoned on Kessel for an unknown crime or reason . Vima discovered Kyp Durron , a young Human ripe with nascent Force potential . Even with her dulled connection to the Force , Vima could sense the raw , untapped power within Durron . Using what connection she had , Vima taught Durron what minor skills she could before being removed by Imperial authorities under unknown circumstances . Re - emergence . By 10 ABY , Vima had made her way back to Nar Shaddaa . In that year , she sensed the Force presence of Leia Organa Solo . Detecting what she thought to be a Jedi , Vima explained the tale of her fall and bequeathed to Organa Solo a box containing a 10 , 000 year old lightsaber discovered on Ossus nearly 900 years earlier . After the death of Emperor Palpatine ' s clone on Byss , Organa Solo returned to Nar Shaddaa to remove Vima and extract from her knowledge of the holocrons and the destroyed Jedi Order . Vima , having realized her errors decades earlier , felt unworthy of serving the power she sensed in Organa Solo and the unborn Anakin Solo , but was given little choice after an ambush by the bounty hunter Boba Fett . Han Solo and Chewbacca helped the group escape the clutches of Fett . En route to New Alderaan , the " Millennium Falcon " was forced to hide from Fett in the gas cloud home to Empatojayos Brand ' s " Robida Colossus " . Upon their arrival , Vima and Brand aided Skywalker in the training of Jem Ysanna , Rayf Ysanna , and Kam Solusar , the first of Skywalker ' s Jedi students . The wisdom imparted to Skywalker and his new students would be influential in his decision to found the Jedi Praxeum on Yavin 4 . Shortly thereafter , Vima used her healing skills to rid Skywalker of a poison injected into him by Dark Jedi agents . After fleeing to Nespis VIII , Leia , who had been hesitant to tap into her Force potential , learned the ways of the Jedi from Vima , including how to shield the newly born Anakin . This skill allowed Organa Solo to save baby Anakin from being possessed by the spirit of Palpatine . Vima , having rekindled her light side spirit in aiding Organa Solo , Skywalker and the New Republic , claimed to be able to feel the flow of the Force once more . Little is known of the fate of Vima after the defeat of Palpatine on Onderon . For a period , she helped instruct new Jedi recruits at Luke Skywalker ' s Jedi Praxeum on Yavin 4 , and in 13 ABY she warned Skywalker about Ennix Devian . By that time , she had ceased referring to herself in the third person . But after this she seemed to have disappeared . Behind the scenes . Vima - Da - Boda was voiced by Glynnis Talken in the " Dark Empire " and " Dark Empire II " audio dramas . In the epilogue of " Empire ' s End " , it is stated that Vima disappeared on Onderon in 11 ABY during the New Republic celebration over the defeat of Palpatine . However , in both the third edition of " A Guide to the Star Wars Universe " and the Appendix of " The New Essential Guide to Characters " , Vima is said to have served as an instructor at Luke Skywalker ' s Jedi Praxeum on Yavin 4 in her later years .
