Olana Chion Olana Chion was a Human female Jedi Knight during the waning years of the Galactic Republic . Born on Kegan in 45 BBY as O - Lana , she became a point of contention between the Jedi Order and Kegan ' s Benevolent Guide s . The Order sought to train her as a Jedi , whereas the Guides foresaw that fraternization with the Jedi and the Republic would lead to devastation in the years to come . The Guides kidnapped O - Lana but had their efforts thwarted by the Jedi Qui - Gon Jinn , Adi Gallia , Obi - Wan Kenobi , and Siri Tachi . O - Lana was then accepted as a Jedi Initiate and taken to the galactic capital of Coruscant . O - Lana took the name of " Olana Chion " while growing up in the Jedi Temple in order to more suitably fit in with her peers . She fervently hoped to become the Padawan of Kenobi , but when he took on the young Human boy Anakin Skywalker instead , she developed an ire towards Skywalker that lasted for over a decade . Chion eventually apprenticed to Avan Post when she came of age , and he trained her for ten years before being killed at the onset of the galaxy - spanning Clone Wars in 22 BBY . The Jedi Council soon after promoted Chion to the rank of Jedi Knight , hoping that she could lead clone troopers of the Grand Army of the Republic in the war . Chion instead chose a more pacifist approach to wartime service and devoted her attention to the refugees of ravaged worlds . When General Grievous of the Confederacy of Independent Systems launched an attack on Coruscant three years into the war , she was tasked with evacuating and coordinating millions of the capital ' s residents . The attack was repelled , and the war itself ended shortly thereafter with the betrayal of the Jedi Order by the Republic ' s Supreme Chancellor . Skywalker , now a Sith apprentice to the Chancellor , led an on the Jedi Temple , and Chion was among the first of his victims . Biography . Early life and kidnapping . O - Lana was a Human female born in 45 BBY to V - Nen and O - Melie on the oppressive and isolated world of Kegan . Her parents realized very early that their child was special , and despite Kegan ' s taboo against contacting the Galactic Republic , they requested that the Jedi Council test their child for sensitivity to the Force . Understanding the fragile diplomatic situation on Kegan , the Council dispatched four Jedi : Masters Adi Gallia and Qui - Gon Jinn and their respective Padawans , Siri Tachi and Obi - Wan Kenobi . However , the Benevolent Guide s that ruled the planet saw a grave future should the Jedi take the child . They had visions of white - armored soldiers raining destruction down upon their planet , and they decided to avert this crisis before it could become a reality . They spirited O - Lana away to the Re - Learning Circle , a prison - like compound to which certain youths were banished and fed anti - Republic propaganda . However , the two Jedi Padawans Tachi and Kenobi found their way into the Re - Learning Circle . They saved O - Lana with the help of Jinn and Gallia and in the process shut down the Circle and overthrew the Guides . The foursome then took O - Lana away from her parents to be trained as a Jedi Knight . Training . Seeking to break all ties from her conflicted and isolationist homeworld , O - Lana abandoned the gender - defined structure of her name and dubbed herself " Olana Chion " . She spent her entire childhood in the temple , learning the Jedi arts , though never being accepted by a Master . She greatly admired Kenobi , her rescuer from Kegan , and aspired to become his Padawan learner upon his promotion to the rank of Jedi Knight . Her chances for acceptance , though , grew less and less likely as she neared her thirteenth birthday , at which point she would likely be sent to the Agricultural Corps or some other subdivision of the Order . Kenobi returned from his latest mission on Naboo a Jedi Knight , but much to Chion ' s disappointment , he had already found his apprentice : Anakin Skywalker , a nine - year - old boy purported to be the Chosen One of Jedi legend . Chion disliked Skywalker purely for the reason that he was Kenobi ' s Padawan , as opposed to her . She had banked thirteen years of training on being apprenticed to Kenobi , but her hopes had been dashed , due to the dying wish of Qui - Gon Jinn , another of her saviors from Kegan . But even as her situation looked dire , Chion was accepted by Avan Post , a Chandrilan Jedi Master , and began her life as a Padawan learner . Apprenticeship under Avan Post . In 32 BBY , Chion began her apprenticeship to Post in earnest . For over a decade , she was instructed in the proper manner , and was successfully fitted to the Jedi Knight mold . Unfortunately for Chion , Skywalker , along with Kenobi and Senator Padmé Amidala , instigated the Clone Wars on Geonosis , sending the galaxy into turmoil . But while Skywalker embraced the war fully and become a decorated hero , tragedy struck Chion early on . In 22 BBY , the first year of the war , Post perished in a dogfight over the ocean world of Ando , after destroying seven " Hardcell " - class interstellar transports . Clone Wars . Despite the loss of Post , Chion had completed the bulk of her training under her former master , and was promoted to the rank of Jedi Knight with very little pomp and circumstance . Her promotion was out of necessity , as the Republic needed all the Jedi they could get in order to give the newly minted clone troopers suitable battlefield commanders . But Chion was uneasy with war , feeling that it strongly conflicted with the Jedi teachings that she had been raised on . Though she was not opposed to using her skills to keep the peace , she chose to help coordinate the war effort behind the scenes . Chion ' s dislike of Skywalker was enhanced by his barnstorming and dashing exploits across the galaxy . He made himself the darling and hero of many worlds , but nothing he could do could shake Chion ' s doubt of his intentions , as she kept track of his progress and actions throughout the war . She distrusted him , seemingly more and more as he rose throughout the ranks of public and Jedi acclaim . Away from the capital , Chion was placed in charge of the evacuation of endangered worlds , as the battlefronts continuously expanded and swept across the galaxy . As the war dragged on into 19 BBY , the Confederacy of Independent Systems launched what it hoped to be a final strike , when General Grievous swept into Coruscant at the head of a massive droid army . Though the attack had the sole purpose of kidnapping Supreme Chancellor Palpatine , the diversion of Grievous ' s army was no illusion . Many sectors of the city world were extensively damaged , forcing families out of their homes , and out of shelter . Chion was tasked with evacuating and coordinating the millions of homeless sentients , and keeping them safe until Grievous could be driven away . With Coruscant successfully defended , the Clone Wars looked set to wind down and finally end , following the death of Confederate leader Count Dooku , at the hands of Skywalker , no less . The Republic ' s Outer Rim Sieges persisted , though , and Chion attended a briefing by Kenobi as to the situation on worlds such as Boz Pity and Saleucami . By pure coincidence , Chion ' s leaving of the briefing room coincided with the entrance of the object of her derision , " The Hero With No Fear " , Anakin Skywalker . But still , Chion ' s concerns were not echoed by the upper echelons of the galactic community , and Skywalker was promoted to the Jedi Council as a liaison to Palpatine . Operation : Knightfall . When Palpatine , who was secretly the Sith Lord Darth Sidious , let Order 66 — an order which called for the execution of all Jedi — issue forth across the galaxy , Chion was staying at the Temple with Masters Shaak Ti and Cin Drallig . Skywalker , now the Sith apprentice Darth Vader , a battalion of clones from the 501 Legion , with the intent to massacre all the Jedi within . Hundreds of Jedi fell to either Vader ' s blade or the troopers ' blasters , and Chion ' s suspicions about Skywalker came full circle , as did the Kegan Guide ' s vision of white - clad troopers . She attempted to save as many younglings as possible . It was presumed that she eventually fell prey to the onslaught , even though her body was never conclusively identified . Even so , her image was posted , though marked as dead , and a fictional bounty placed on her head , as a propaganda tool in far - flung worlds of the galaxy . Personality and traits . Chion was both fearful of new things and jealous of the more privileged . She had set her hopes on becoming Obi - Wan Kenobi ' s apprentice , only to have her goal achieved by Anakin Skywalker . From then on , she had an intense disdain for Skywalker , purely on the principle that he took the role that she had been vying for . Skywalker could do no good in her eyes , with every step he took lowering his standing with her . She even took lengths to avoid the choices he made , averting herself from war and dedicating herself to more directly aiding the less fortunate . Chion had black hair , brown eyes , fair skin , and stood at a height of 1 . 62 meters . Behind the scenes .

The character would not appear again for half a decade , until Ian Tapley retcon ned her into George Lucas ' s , through the feature " What ' s The Story ? " on StarWars . com . In " Revenge of the Sith " , the character was originally just a Jedi extra played by Dominique Chionchio . Tapley ' s " What ' s The Story ? " entry equated her with O - Lana and renamed her Olana Chion , deriving the character ' s surname from Chionchio ' s own . His Databank entry was also elaborated on by Billy Buehler and " Master Starkeiller , " but it was Tapley ' s retconning that made Chion one of the few C - canon elements to be elevated to the status of G - canon . Tapley ' s original draft of Chion ' s Databank entry had her sent off on a mission prior to Operation : Knightfall , as he hoped for her to survive Order 66 , but he ended up enjoying the final draft that saw her perish by Vader ' s blade . The final draft made Chion one of the few film characters to be " killed off " in the Expanded Universe . In addition to " The Fight for Truth " , Tapley referenced several other Expanded Universe works while writing the entry , including " " and . In a rarity for " What ' s the Story ? " winners , the entry was run by Jude Watson , in the event that she had any plans for the character . There were no issues , and the entry was passed .
