Nahdar Vebb / Legends Nahdar Vebb was a male Mon Calamari who served as a Jedi Knight during the Clone Wars between the Galactic Republic and Confederacy of Independent Systems . Vebb was the Padawan of Jedi Master Kit Fisto prior to the Clone Wars , but with the outbreak of the war , Fisto became a Jedi General in the Grand Army of the Republic and was unable to see Vebb ' s apprenticeship through to the end . Sometime around the beginning of the war , Vebb completed his training in his Master ' s absence and ascended to the rank of Jedi Knight . With the war still raging , Vebb joined the Republic ' s forces as a Jedi healer , enthusiastically working to combat the Confederate war machine . The conflict had a grave effect on the young Mon Calamari , driving Vebb to seek revenge for Separatist crimes against his homeworld of Dac and pushing him to embrace the violence of the struggle . In 22 BBY , Viceroy Nute Gunray , a leading member of the Separatist Council , escaped Republic captivity and stole a Republic corvette to flee . Vebb , Clone Commander Fil , and a group of clone troopers tracked the stolen vessel to the third moon of Vassek in the hopes of recapturing Gunray . Shortly after arriving , Vebb and the clones were met by the Mon Calamari ' s former Master , Kit Fisto , who had also been trailing Gunray . On the moon the Jedi and clones discovered a large fortress , and after continuing investigations inside the castle , they realized that they had been lured to the moon by Confederate Head of State Count Dooku as a test for General Grievous , the Supreme Commander of the Separatist Droid Army and a notorious Jedi hunter . Vebb and the others discovered that they were inside Grievous ' s lair and planned to engage and capture the cyborg general , but upon his return , Grievous killed most of the clones and escaped from Vebb , Fisto , and Fil . The three were trapped in the castle , and with Fil ' s death at the hands of the general ' s pet roggwart , Gor , Vebb became increasingly angered and aggressive . When he saw an opportunity to kill Grievous , Vebb acted against Fisto ' s orders and dueled the general . The Mon Calamari was slain by Grievous , but Fisto managed to retrieve Vebb ' s lightsaber from the general before escaping . Biography . Clone Wars . A male Mon Calamari from the planet Dac , Nahdar Vebb was the second Padawan learner of his species to be assigned to the Nautolan Jedi Master Kit Fisto . Following the First Battle of Geonosis and the outbreak of the Clone Wars in 22 BBY , Fisto was called upon to serve as a Jedi General in the Grand Army of the Republic against the droid armies of the Confederacy of Independent Systems . Fisto ' s duties as a general kept him away from Vebb , forcing the apprentice to continue his training bereft of a master . Although the Mon Calamari had no memory of his homeworld , Vebb was deeply troubled by the devastation the Confederacy wrought upon Dac . Eager to bring the Confederate leaders to justice for his people ' s suffering , Vebb fought determinedly on the front lines of the war and was eventually called upon for promotion to the level of Jedi Knight . Vebb eventually passed the Jedi Trials and became a full - fledged Knight . With the Clone Wars raging across the galaxy , Vebb joined the Republic ' s forces as a Jedi healer , working to aid clone troopers and other Republic personnel who had been wounded in battle . Vebb helped the injured troopers to continue fighting despite their wounds . At some point over the course of the war , Vebb served with both the 21st Nova Corps and Clone Commander Fil ' s forces . Tracking Gunray . In 22 BBY , Separatist Council member Viceroy Nute Gunray was captured by Republic forces after his failed attempt to bring the planet Rodia into the Confederacy , but Gunray escaped from Republic captivity with the aide of several Confederate agents . The Neimoidian fled in a stolen Republic frigate , and Vebb tracked the frigate ' s homing beacon to the rocky third moon of the Outer Rim planet Vassek alongside Fil and a small contingent of clone troopers . Shortly after making landfall in a " Nu " - class shuttle , Vebb and the troopers were met by the Mon Calamari ' s old master , Kit Fisto , who had also tracked Gunray to the moon . Fil reported to the two Jedi that the Republic frigate ' s tracking beacon had been pinpointed in the south end of a nearby gorge , and the group headed to investigate . In what Fisto considered an unnecessary show of Force ability , Vebb parted the dense fog that concealed the gorge , revealing a set of large , vaulted doors set into the rock face . As the Jedi and clones approached the doors , Vebb moved to slice through the entryway with his lightsaber ; however Fisto took a calmer approach and examined the doors , finding a concealed switch that granted them access . Vebb and his comrades entered through the doors , finding a dark labyrinth of halls and corridors comprising a massive fortress that stretched far back into the gorge . While moving down the halls toward the only lit room , they heard the voice of Gunray ordering a group of B1 battle droids to protect him from his Jedi pursuers . In reality , the viceroy was only acting as bait for the Jedi ; Fisto and Vebb were approaching a mere hologram of the Neimoidian . Believing Gunray to be seated in a large chair faced away from them , the Jedi began to cut through his battle droid guards . The young Vebb exhibited particular brutality during the fighting , Force - pushing the segments of droids that had already been destroyed . Once the battle droids were defeated , Vebb used the Force to spin the viceroy ' s chair around , revealing Gunray ' s hologram . The gloating viceroy explained to the clones and Jedi that they had walked into a trap shortly before being replaced by a hologram of Count Dooku , the Confederate Head of State . Dooku sardonically apologized for inconveniencing the Republic forces and claimed he would be offering them a different prize in place of Gunray . Dooku ' s image faded away , leaving a flashing button on the chair ' s control panel . Anxious for answers , Vebb pushed the button , revealing another dark hallway . At the end of the hall , the Jedi and clones came upon a room filled with spare cybernetic limbs , bringing them to the realization that they had entered the lair of General Grievous , the cyborg Supreme Commander of the Confederate Droid Army and a notorious Jedi hunter . Unbeknownst to Vebb , Fisto , and the clones , Dooku was using them as pawns in a test for Grievous , whose abilities as a general had been called into question after a recent string of Confederate defeats . The Jedi and clones continued to search the general ' s castle , and Vebb was angered upon finding a trophy room filled with items the cyborg had taken from the Jedi he had slain over the course of the war . Vebb ' s anger turned to excitement upon receiving a report that General Grievous ' s starfighter was approaching the moon , providing the Republic forces with an opportunity to kill the Confederacy ' s best general and turn the tide of the war . Grievous , who was unaware that Republic forces had infiltrated his lair , returned to his castle only to be quickly ambushed by Vebb , Fisto , and the clones . While the Jedi engaged the general , the clones fired grappling hooks at the cyborg ' s legs , preventing him from escaping . After Fisto severed Grievous ' s legs , Vebb attempted to kill the general while he was on the floor ; however , Grievous blocked the attack and then beat Vebb back by throwing the corpse of a clone trooper at him . The cyborg retreated into the depths of his castle by using fixtures on the walls and ceiling , while Vebb and the clones gave chase . The Mon Calamari lost the general after a pair of clones were killed while trying to prevent the cyborg ' s escape . Vebb was infuriated by the loss , having believed he could have fought Grievous had the clones not been in the way . The Mon Calamari ' s old Master was troubled by his aggression and suggested that they instead focus on their wounded . With only Vebb , Fisto , Fil , and one other trooper still alive , Fisto decided that retreat was necessary , despite Vebb ' s determination to engage Grievous . The general , watching the remaining Republic forces in his lair ' s control room via holocam , sealed his castle , trapping Vebb and his comrades . Hunted . Grievous , determined to kill all the intruders , activated a trap door where Vebb , Fisto , and the clones stood . Though the two Jedi leaped to safety , Fil and the only other surviving clone fell toward a molten incinerator vat . Receiving assistance from Fisto , Vebb saved Fil by grabbing onto his ascension cable , which the commander had fired at the ceiling . However , the other trooper fell to his death , and Vebb , Fisto , and Fil were soon confronted with Gor , Grievous ' s pet roggwart . After Gor grabbed the clone commander with his prehensile tail , Vebb attempted to save Fil , but he was knocked into a wall as Gor continued to slam Fil into the ground , killing the last clone . Attacking again , Vebb severed Gor ' s tail while Fisto drove his lightsaber into the beast ' s neck . With Gor dead , Vebb held Fil ' s dead body , swearing to avenge the trooper . Wary of his former Padawan ' s anger , Fisto reminded him that revenge was not the Jedi way , to which Vebb replied that the war had changed the rules and that strength was now required for survival . Still troubled by Vebb ' s actions , Fisto suggested that it was Vebb who had changed but nevertheless insisted that the two continue moving . Vebb and Fisto eventually arrived outside Grievous ' s control room . The general , who had been repaired by his medical droid , EV - A4 - D , went in search of the two Jedi with a squad of his IG - 100 MagnaGuards . Fisto was successful in opening the door to the hidden chamber by repeating the sequence that Grievous had entered into it , but EV - A4 - D , monitoring the Jedi ' s progress from the control room , alerted Grievous to their presence over the castle ' s speaker system . As the general turned around and headed to confront the Jedi , Vebb insisted on staying to face the cyborg to allow his former Master to flee . Fisto ordered Vebb to follow , and while the two argued , EV - A4 - D resealed the control room door , separating the two Jedi and trapping Vebb from safety . The young Mon Calamari , still determined to defeat Grievous , attacked and destroyed four of his MagnaGuards before engaging the general himself . Believing the general ' s death would alter the course of the war and bring justice to the galaxy , Vebb joyfully dueled the cyborg for a brief time . Upon entering into a saberlock , Grievous used one of his extra arms to repeatedly fire a blaster into Vebb ' s abdomen , killing him . Post - mortem . Having killed Vebb , Grievous claimed the fallen Jedi ' s lightsaber . From the control room , Fisto witnessed his former Padawan ' s death , and although grief - stricken , he was able to make it to the castle ' s south landing platform , where his Delta - 7B starfighter was waiting . On the platform , Fisto briefly dueled Grievous and was able to reclaim Vebb ' s lightsaber before escaping . Fisto returned to the Jedi Temple on Coruscant , where he reported on the mission and Vebb ' s death to Jedi Masters Yoda and Mace Windu . Vebb ' s notable lack of self - control that went against his Jedi teachings caused Yoda to question the war ' s effects on the Jedi Order . Padawan Nuru Kungurama would offer his condolences to Master Fisto regarding the loss of Vebb . Personality and traits . Nahdar Vebb had orange skin and a single barbel on his chin , an indication of his youth . Although the strong - willed and forceful Vebb was honored to serve as a Jedi Knight , he was an impulsive individual who often sought conflict instead of peace , contrary to the Jedi Code . Vebb cared deeply for the well - being of his species and became consumed by his need to avenge the suffering the Mon Calamari experienced at the hands of the Separatist Council . During the war , he enthusiastically fought the Confederate war machine and looked forward to new missions and objectives . The young Mon Cal eagerly embraced the opportunity to travel to the third moon of Vassek with the news that Nute Gunray could be brought into his grasp , and was glad to once again be working alongside his former Master , Kit Fisto . While on the Vassek moon , Vebb insisted upon using the Force for simple tasks such as making his way through a dense fog bank and spinning Gunray ' s chair . Unlike Fisto ' s much calmer approach , Vebb was prepared to force his way into Grievous ' s castle with his lightsaber . While he was within the castle , Vebb became increasingly brutal , first in his dismembering of the battle droids and later during his attacks on Grievous . Upon discovering that he was indeed within the Confederate general ' s sanctuary , Vebb excitedly jumped at the opportunity to fight Grievous , both for the sake of the war effort and to avenge the Jedi who had been slain by the general . Vebb was angered after seeing the trophies that Grievous had taken from the Jedi he had murdered and attacked the cyborg mercilessly during their first encounter , attempting to destroy Grievous even after the general was pinned to the floor following the amputation of his legs . When Grievous escaped , an infuriated Vebb blamed the clone troopers for getting in his way . Despite his anger at the troopers , Vebb was greatly upset by the death of Commander Fil , swearing retribution on Grievous for the loss . Fisto reprimanded him for his anger , though Vebb ' s views on the matter went unchanged — the war had already taken its toll on the young Jedi , changing the Mon Calamari ' s outlook on proper actions for a Jedi . Vebb believed that veteran Jedi such as Fisto were unable to understand that conventional Jedi practices became obsolete in wartime . Although Vebb disagreed with his old Master , the Mon Calamari eventually gave his life so that Fisto could escape the castle . Powers and abilities . As a Mon Calamari , Nahdar Vebb was capable of breathing under water for up to thirty hours . He was skilled in healing wounds through the Force and used this ability to aid Republic forces during the Clone Wars .

The Mon Calamari was also a skilled duelist , able to single - handedly defeat four IG - 100 MagnaGuards and defend himself against Grievous for a short time , but was eventually slain by the cyborg .
