Ima - Gun Di Ima - Gun Di was a male Kajain ' sa ' Nikto Jedi Master who served the Jedi Order as a General during the Clone Wars . He was killed on Ryloth helping to save its people . Biography . Early life . Ima - Gun Di was a Force - sensitive Kajain ' sa ' Nikto male who was taken in by the Jedi Order and trained to become a Jedi . The Clone Wars . Battle of Ryloth . During the early stages of the Clone Wars between the Galactic Republic and the Confederacy of Independent Systems , Di held the rank of Jedi Master and was sent to the planet Ryloth with a detachment of clone trooper s to help defend the native Twi ' lek population against a full scale Separatist invasion . The Republic forces fought valiantly alongside the Twi ' lek Resistance ; however , the Separatists were able to create a blockade around the world which prevented any supplies or reinforcements being delivered to Di and his men or the natives . During heavy fighting , Cham Syndulla , leader of the Twi ' lek Resistance , approached Di and Clone Captain Keeli and informed the Jedi that their forces ' food and energy supplies were running low . Di contacted Republic Admiral Dao , whose " Venator " - class Star Destroyer still remained in orbit , and requested that supplies be delivered as quickly as possible . Dao was unable to help , as his ship was low on fuel as well as ammunition and so instead he contacted the Jedi High Council to request aid . During the holographic transmission with the council , Dao ' s vessel was destroyed , leaving Di ' s forces without any support in the space above Ryloth . Seemingly alone , the Twi ' leks and clones under Di ' s command were slowly pushed back by the Separatist forces , and their right flank soon collapsed , leaving the Separatists to close in on the Jedi ' s location . Despite spotty communications , Di promised Syndulla that the Republic would come through with reinforcements , but the Twi ' lek was unconvinced and believing that the Separatists would soon overrun them ordered his people to leave . Keeli explained to Syndulla that without the right flank all of them were trapped and could not escape , and so would have to continue fighting the Separatists together . The Twi ' leks still began preparing to evacuate , but soon realized that the single Low Altitude Assault Transport / infantry that the Republic forces had left was not enough to carry them and their families . Di then created an alternate plan , in which the transport would be used as a bomb after its fuel systems were reconfigured . If the explosion was used to collapse one of the two routes leading to their position it would force the Separatists to confront them in the other , a narrow ravine . He explained that while the Republic held the ravine , the Twi ' leks could escape by foot over the mountains . Keeli praised the plan and then informed the troops of their orders . As the troops prepared for battle , Syndulla ' s subordinate Gobi Glie approached Di and informed him that Syndulla was still angry at being let down by the Republic . Di expressed his sympathies and told Glie to pass them on , warning that the Twi ' leks would need to be quick , as he and the clones could only hold out for so long . He then ordered Keeli to check the transport was ready and prepared to engage the approaching Separatists . The LAAT / I ' s destruction successfully destroyed the pass , and so the Separatists moved to confront Di and his men in the ravine as planned . Sacrifice . As the Twi ' leks fled , Di led his troops in battle at the ravine , deflecting many blaster bolts with his lightsaber as the Republic forces held their ground . The clones quickly began taking heavy casualties and Keeli was downed by the explosion of a thermal detonator . Believing his friend to be dead , Di moved to fight the huge Separatist force alone , but was surprised when Keeli got up and kept fighting . The pair then fought back to back , holding out as long as possible but were soon overwhelmed by fire . Keeli died first , after which Di received word from a group of three " Pelta " - class frigates that they had broken through the blockade and were en route to deliver supplies to the Twi ' leks . Gladdened by the knowledge that the Twi ' leks would live to fight another day , Di deflected several more bolts back at his attackers , but then took multiple shots to the torso , killing him . The Battle of Ryloth would continue long after the Jedi Master ' s death , but would eventually end with a Republic victory , partly thanks to Di ' s sacrifice . Personality and traits . Di was a Kajain ' sa ' Nikto male with orange skin and blue eye s . During the Battle of Ryloth , he had full faith in the Republic , believing that they would deliver reinforcements and aid even without any communications to confirm it . When they did not , he understood the anger of Syndulla . He was willing to sacrifice himself and his clone troopers in order to allow the Twi ' lek Resistance and their families to escape . In his last moments , Di and Keeli held out alone , trying to make their last moments memorable ones . The Jedi was greatly pleased to hear that supplies had arrived , dying in the knowledge that his sacrifice to save the Twi ' leks had not been in vain . Equipment . While fighting on Ryloth , Di wore brown Jedi robes with white armored gauntlets that included a communicator . He used a blue - bladed lightsaber in combat . Behind the scenes .
