Nayama Nayama was a female Human Force - sensitive who began training with the Jedi Order before quickly succumbing to the dark side of the Force and joining Exar Kun ' s Sith Empire . Before her fall , Nayama was the wife of Padawan Jolee Bindo . Biography . A Force - sensitive Human from Ukatis , Nayama was a member of the Ukatis Enforcers serving the tyrannical Ukatisian monarch . During her service to the monarch , Padawan Jolee Bindo of the Jedi Order traveled to Ukatis on a mercy mission smuggling supplies to the Ukatis citizenry through a blockade set up by the Ukatis government . Opposed to Galactic Republic involvement , Nayama was ordered to track Bindo ' s ship and shoot it down ; a mission she succeeded in completing . Bindo was captured and she managed to foil three of his escape attempts while in captivity , though eventually he won her over and they fell in love . Helping him escape offworld , the two were married ; although marriage was frowned upon by many Jedi of the time and was deemed unacceptable for a member of the Order . Immediately , Bindo noticed that Nayama was strong in the Force , which is why she was able to shoot him down . Deciding to train her as a Jedi , Bindo ' s status as a Padawan and Nayama ' s age caused the Jedi High Council to deny his request . Ignoring the High Council ' s wishes , Bindo began secretly training her in the ways of the Jedi . The joy of Jolee ' s marriage to Nayama was not to last as the words of fellow Padawan Exar Kun inspired her to join in his dream of heralding in a Golden Age of the Sith . Urging her husband to abandon what she called " the decrepit trappings of the Jedi " and join her in Kun ' s war of conquest , Bindo pleaded with her to reconsider and think about what she would become and what she would be throwing away . In her frustration and failure to convince her husband and mentor to join the Sith , she drew her lightsaber and attempted to strike him down . The battle between husband and wife was long and difficult but eventually Bindo gained the upper hand and defeated her ; it was at this moment he realized his wife had fallen to the dark side . At his mercy , Bindo refused to kill the woman he loved and he let her go . She followed many other fallen Jedi of that time , including Oss Wilum , Crado , and Ulic Qel - Droma in their attempt to create a new golden age in a conflict which quickly came to be known as the Great Sith War . The mistake of sparing the woman would come to haunt Bindo for years to come , as he allowed her to join Exar Kun , going on to kill many Jedi during the war until she herself was slain in the final battle on Yavin 4 . The High Council decided to put Bindo on trial for his actions by training Nayama against their wishes and for him allowing her to escape his grasp . Though he was absolved of all responsibility , with the High Council citing mitigating circumstances and that he deserved compassion and he learned wisdom the hard way for all his actions during the war , the High Council decided to raise him to full Jedi status . The decision would come to haunt Bindo because he believed he deserved to be punished and that the Jedi forgave him ; however , he could never forgive himself . According to him , that was when the Jedi left him , and that was where they failed him . Filled with sadness for the loss of his wife , he decided to leave the Jedi and head for the uncivilized parts of the galaxy . It was on his way that his ship was damaged in an asteroid field and he ended up in the Shadowlands of Kashyyyk , where he decided to exile himself . Behind the scenes .
