Luminara Unduli was a Force-sensitive female Mirialan who served as a Jedi Master and Jedi General in the fading years of the Galactic Republic. She was a valued adviser to the Jedi High Council, the Supreme Chancellor, and the Galactic Senate. During the War of the Ring, she fought with her last Padawan, Barriss Offee, and she was a common and formidable presence at points of crisis, on worlds such as Ilum, Nadiem, and Isengard.
At the end of the war, Unduli fought in the Battle of the Hornburg. She was arrested and executed after Supreme Chancellor Sheev Palpatine issued Order 66 and destroyed the Jedi Order. The Galactic Empire would later use her remains to attract and kill any Jedi that survived Order 66. One such trap was laid for Kanan Jarrus and the crew of the Ghost, who believed Unduli was alive and being imprisoned on Stygeon Prime. They mounted a rescue mission, only to discover that it was a trap by the Grand Inquisitor. The rebels escaped with the knowledge that Unduli was dead and spread the word to dispel the ruse, preventing any more deaths in her name.
Many years after her demise, Unduli's voice was among many heard by the Jedi leader Sunset Shimmer as she faced down Darth Sauron on Earth, telling her to find the light.
==Biography==
===Early life===
Luminara Unduli was born on the planet Mirial, a cold, dry, and despondent world oppressed by the Trade Federation. Detected to be Force-sensitive, Unduli was taken into the Jedi Order at a young age, and so lived through little of the misery known to most Mirialans.Cloak of Deception
At the Minas Tirith Jedi Temple, Unduli received training in the ways of the Force, becoming skilled in manipulating it and honing her skill with a lightsaber. Selected as a Padawan by a fellow Mirialan, as had many other Mirialans for several hundred years,Power of the Jedi Sourcebook Unduli constructed a green-bladed lightsaber and grew strong in the Force. Upon achieving the rank of Jedi Knight, she dedicated herself to physical disciplines; her patterned tattoos were a traditional Mirialan reflection of this somatic commitment. She trained heavily to improve her corporal prowess, working over the course of years to enhance her flexibility and agility in combat and mastering the third form of lightsaber combat, Soresu. Adorning in traditional Mirialan robes, Jedi Unduli trained independently as a Jedi Guardian, though she was a skilled and respected Diplomat and adviser to high-profile senators in the Galactic Senate. She was also part of the Jedi escort accompanying then Lytton sector senator Finis Valorum to Troiken during the negotiations with Iaco Stark. She then fought against Stark's faces alongside Master Gimli there.The Essential Guide to Warfare
Eventually, Jedi Unduli became a Master in the years prior to the Invasion of Gondor. When it came time to select a Padawan circa 1975, Master Unduli selected the young Mirialan Initiate Barriss Offee as an apprentice, continuing the tradition of Mirialans teaching Mirialans.
Around the year 1981, Luminara Unduli and another Jedi Elvish Master named Legolas served as Jedi Advisors to the Supreme Chancellor Palpatine, a position that had once been occupied by Master Jorus C'baoth when Palpatine was still the senator of the Chommell sector.Star Wars Roleplaying Game Revised Core Rulebook
===Mission to Ansion===
During the Separatist Crisis, a tumultuous time of schism in the Galactic Senate, a raveled web of alliances conspired to elevate a small and unimportant world in the Mid Rim, Ansion, to a position of profound strategic significance. Recognizing the systematic precision in which Ansion was being attacked politically, the Jedi High Council dispatched Master Unduli and Padawan Offee, to the previously insignificant world, where they were met by Master Sam Gamgee and his apprentice, Frodo Baggins. The four Jedi were charged with forestalling any incipient local separatist movement, and encouraging them to remain within the Republic.The Approaching Storm
Their mission was made difficult by the cultural division which gripped Ansion: one part of the planet's population dwelt in cities and towns and engaged in trade with other worlds in the Republic; the other part lived in a loose confederation of nomadic clans on Ansion's vast, windy plains. The two factions were bitterly mistrustful of one another, and had been in conflict for more than a thousand years.
Master Unduli and her Padawan were ambushed not long after they arrived in the modest Ansionian capital, Cuipernam, by employees of Soergg the Hutt, a local crime lord whose services had been retained by the Confederacy of Independent Systems. Cornered against a wall, Unduli sustained a minor blaster graze before Jedi Gamgee and Padawan Baggins arrived and defeated her attackers, who had expected only two Jedi.
Secure in their persons for the time being, Unduli and the other Jedi proceeded to the Ansionian council building, where they conducted initial negotiations with the Unity of Community Council, which represented the city-dwelling Ansionians. Like Ansion, the council was deeply divided. Roughly half its membership favored the Separatists, having been promised a quick and forceful end to the conflict with the prairie-dwelling Alwari nomads by the Separatist leadership and an escape from Republic taxes and regulations.
After a particularly unorthodox demonstration of the Force on the Armalat delegate Tolut, and a promise of a very favorable settlement with the Alwari, Luminara was able to persuade the Council to provisionally agree to remain in the Republic—so long as the Jedi delivered on her promise. The quartet's new focus was interrupted when Padawan Offee was captured by two mentally disabled Ansionian gangsters in the employ of Soergg, Bulgan and Kyakhta. The young Padawan was able to convince her captors to help her escape Soergg's men by offering to heal them of their injuries. Restored to their former selves, the pair quickly aided Offee in eluding the Hutt's clutches. Unsurprisingly, Master Unduli located her escaped Padawan before Gamgee or Baggins sensed her presence.
Bulgan and Kyakhta, grateful to and in awe of Offee—and sensing an opportunity—appointed themselves guides to the four Jedi. Unduli and her colleagues accepted the aid of the Ansonian pair, not least because the two were both outcast members of Alwari clans. In short order, the Jedi set out on an expedition to locate the scattered Alwari clans, particularly the Borokii overclan. Unduli, Offee, their two colleagues and their guides, crossed out of Cuipernam into Ansion's vast prairie, riding on magnificent suubatar animals recommended by Bulgan and Kyakhta as much for their prestige among the Alwari as for the very practical advantages of the beasts.
As the expedition progressed, Unduli noticed a clear tension between Offee and the confident Baggins, and discussed the brash Padawan's unusual case with Gamgee. On the way, they had to fend off attacks by gairk at a river crossing, and seek shelter from a large flock of suicidal kyren. At the camp of the first Alwari clan they encountered, the Yiwa, Unduli and the others were welcomed, but were required to provide entertainment that evening. After gaining a deeper understanding of the Alwari sense of tradition, Unduli contrived an entertainment that would satisfy the Yiwa. Taking a handful of sand from the ground, she let it fall through her fingers, but against the wind. Turning the stream of sand into a coil with expert manipulation of the Force, Unduli lifted twirling columns of sand around her in glittering spirals. Then she also began to twirl herself, until she was rapidly whirling around with spirals of sand forming a vortex around her as she rose off of her feet into the air. Climatically, the sand was formed into a globe around her as she spun in mid-air. Her dizzying performance completed, she returned to her place among the other Jedi amid the Alwari equivalent of applause. Even her companions were impressed by this feat.
Master Unduli again had cause to worry about Offee when the Padawan disappeared chasing a Gwurran thief, Tooqui. However, the Padawan was found, this time surrounded by rambunctious, inquisitive Gwurrans. Tooqui insisted on coming along with them, and Unduli reluctantly agreed, passing off responsibility for him to Offee. The Gwurran would prove his worth when he rescued all four Jedi and the two Alwari after the Qulun clan used a scented perfume to send the Jedi to sleep and capture them in order to receive a payment from Soergg. After they escaped with their mounts, Unduli would later save Baggins's life when he was attacked by two predatory shanhs.
After being led to the Borokii clan, the Jedi were required to retrieve a tuft of wool from the exceedingly rare albino surepp herd animals without modern technology. Unduli went into the herd at night, bouncing off the top of each animal and retrieved the wool. On the way back, she slipped and was knocked unconscious. The other Jedi brought her out of the herd and the negotiations proceeded. The Borokii agreed to the settlement, but the Jedi were required to deal with their traditional enemies, the Januul clan. Under the leadership of Gamgee, the Jedi agreed, although Unduli was flabbergasted. When the two clans drew up to engage each other, the Jedi went in between them and declared their intention to not fight either side. Unduli and the other Jedi then fended off attacks launched against them by both sides, but they parried only weapons, injuring and killing none of the combatants. Stunned, both clans agreed to the Jedi's proposition.
Returning to Cuipernam to inform the Unity Council, Soergg again tried to ambush the Jedi, who were then aided by an honor guard of both Januul and Borokii clans. Unduli then proceeded to the negotiations, where Ansion—a vital hub of alliances—agreed to stay in the Republic. Her hard work, research, ingenuity and skill had helped keep a vital world in the Republic.
===War of the Ring (1981–1984)===
====Battle of Isengard====
Shortly after Unduli and Offee returned from the mission to Ansion, it became apparent that a full-fledged military conflict between the Galactic Republic and the Confederacy of Independent Systems would occur. Sam Gamgee was captured by the Confederacy on Isengard, and Unduli and her Padawan joined Master Aragorn's quickly launched rescue mission.
Masters Aragorn and Unduli were the vanguard for the approaching Jedi strike team. The pair slipped past the planet's significant anti-orbital defenses and commandeered newly landed TX-130S fighter tanks which they used to destroy Geonosian gun emplacements blocking the way to the looming Petranaki Arena.Star Wars: The War of the Ring Housed within the packed arena were Jedi Gamgee, Frodo, and Senator Padmé Amidala, who were to be tried and executed by the Confederacy leaders assembled on the world. As over two hundred Jedi crept into the tower, they ignited their lightsabers in challenge to Saruman the White, the leader of the Confederacy, who was personally overseeing the planned execution. Entering the arena and standing beside fellow Jedi Masters Shaak Ti, and Tauriel, Luminara ignited her lightsaber and engaged the Separatist droid and orc forces in the heated but short battle that followed; over half of the assembled Jedi Knights fell in battle before the observing Saruman called a temporary halt and offered the Jedi clemency if they surrendered, only for the offer to be rejected by Master Aragorn, prompting the droids and orcs to resume their attack. Luminara raised her lightsaber, prepared to fight and die, but this was rendered unnecessary by the arrival of Grand Master Bilbo Baggins, accompanied by the newly-created Grand Army of the Republic in several LAAT gunships. Master Unduli boarded a gunship with Masters Shaak Ti, Tauriel, Saesee Tiin, and Roth-Del Masona and presumably led clone troopers into battle in what would be the first conflict of the War of the Ring.
====Jedi General====
After the conclusion of the battle, Master Unduli reported back to Minas Tirith where she took up the mantle of Senior Jedi GeneralStar Wars: The Official Starships & Vehicles Collection 30 in the Grand Army. Units under her command included the 41st Elite Corps and a Republic naval task force. During the war, Unduli commanded a Republic task force during an engagement with a Separatist fleet near the Kaliida Shoals Medical Center that had arrived to assist the Confederate warship Malevolence, which was under attack by Republic forces. This meant she was unable to reach them in time to assist in the destruction of the warship, but her help was rendered unnecessary thanks to Frodo's tinkering with the Malevolence hyperdrive system, causing it to crash into the nearby dead moon.
====Assault on Ilum====
Two months after the Battle of Isengard, Unduli led her Padawan to the secret Jedi Temple on the icy world Ilum, where the two traveled to complete Offee's final lightsaber. Conducting the construction ceremony, Master and Padawan were attacked by cloaked Separatist chameleon droids, which had infiltrated the temple in an attempt to destroy the cavern's precious natural Kyber crystals. Together, they were able to halt the droid assault, but much of the temple was brought down upon itself by mines the droids had set before attacking. Unduli and Offee plunged into the depths of the temple cavern as great slices of rock and small and precious crystals alike plummeted to the ceremonial floor.
For moments, they were able to elude the stone maelstrom, but even their great powers working in concert were soon not enough to allow escape. The Jedi were trapped. Offee reached out bodily with the Force to halt the falling debris above her, and succeeded, only to glance at her Master, who sat in meditative harmony with the Force and falling stone. The apprentice joined the master in reflective poise, and, together, they calmly held up the crushing vault of stone which piled above them. Eventually, the pair were extricated by the efforts of Master Bilbo, who had sensed their battle at a great distance while traveling through space.
====The Stolen Crystals====
As the War of the Ring continued across the galaxy, the High Council saw it safer to transport the crystals used in lightsabers to Middle-Earth instead of letting each Jedi travel to Ilum by themselves. Luminara Unduli was selected to oversee the transport of the crystals aboard the starship Sedawan. The ship however, was attacked by the Nightsisters of Dathomir; the group had ties to Saruman and intended to steal the Sedawan cargo of crystals. Master Unduli made a standoff against the intruders in the docking bays as the Nightsisters boarded, but she was overwhelmed by their numbers. One of the Nightsisters' leaders, Yansu Grjak took Unduli as a captive and used her as a device in their crystal powered weapon on Dathomir. Two Jedi eventually came and rescued Unduli but had to fight of the Nightsister leader Sai Sircu. Exhausted and injured from the abuse, Unduli returned to Middle-Earth leaving the Nightsisters to be dealt with by the other Jedi.The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Ring: Jedi Alliance
====Duel with Jinx====
With Offee overseeing an operation on Isengard, Unduli traveled to Rodia to escort captured Viceroy of the Trade Federation Nute Gunray to Middle-Earth for trial. The Jedi Master was joined by Frodo Baggins's Padawan, Eowyn. Aboard the Venator-class Star Destroyer Tranquility, Unduli spearheaded the interrogations of the viceroy, whose denial of information cost Eowyn her patience. The Padawan physically threatened Gunray with her lightsaber, and though Unduli scolded the Padawan for using fear as a weapon, the viceroy agreed to "negotiate." Before any information could be gleaned, the Tranquility was attacked by Dark Witch Jinx and a goblins squad, who had arrived to rescue Gunray.
After Unduli and Clone Commander CC-1004, nicknamed "Gree," managed to destroy the army of B2 super battle droids, the Jedi Master sensed that Eowyn was in danger and rushed to meet with her. Unduli arrived to assist the Padawan in confronting Jinx, who was cornered. However, while "surrendering," Jinx activated thermal detonators that she had planted in the Star Destroyer's engine room, crippling the cruiser, and escaped to the ravaged engine room. Although Eowyn offered to help, noting her past run-ins with Jinx and stating that the assassin was "too powerful with any one Jedi," Unduli unwisely pursued the assassin on her own, leaving Eowyn to guard Gunray.
Finding and engaging Jinx in a lightsaber duel, Unduli was hampered by a wound to the left eye early in the battle. but was still able to put up a fight. She acknowledged Jinx's preferred style, that of Saruman, but Jinx's was unrefined, amateurish, and sloppy. The enraged Jinx then pinned her under several pipes she collapsed from the ceiling and as Jinx moved to deal the killing blow. The Jedi Master was saved by the timely arrival of Eowyn, who had decided to disobey her orders in the interest of helping Unduli and Force-pushed Jinx away. The Mirialan accepted the Padawan's help for the continuing duel, but in the end, Jinx escaped with Senate Commando Captain Faro Argyus, who had defected to the Separatists and freed Gunray from Republic custody. Unduli and Eowyn transmitted the signal of the Consular-class cruiser that the Separatists had used to escape the Tranquility to Jedi Master Legolas, who tracked Gunray to the third moon of Vassek. Unduli apologized to Eowyn for not taking her advice before the Padawan departed to rendezvous with her own Master.
====Mission to Alzoc III====
Shortly after her first encounter with Jinx, Unduli accompanied Jedi Aayla Secura and commanders Bly and Gree to the barren ice world of Alzoc III to investigate CIS activity reported by Jabba the Hutt. Unduli was unsure about trusting the Hutt crime lord and felt he was using Jedi to do his dirty work. She and Secura scaled nearby cliffs to open the way for the troops. Upon reaching the top they saw a massive crash site with floating wreckage. They wondered what had caused this and decide the must find out. As they made their way into the wreckage, they shortly encountered heavy CIS forces.
After reaching the remains of the ship's bridge, Gree began to slice the vessel's data recorder as Unduli and Secura defended him from on coming battle droids. It was soon revealed that Jinx was nearby and had set the frigate to self-destruct. Unduli and Secura sparred with the Dark Witch after surviving the explosion. Jinx was forced to slowly back off as the two Jedi proved to be a match for her. She threw large bulks of ice at them from a distant cave, but Unduli and Secura caused it to cave in on her. They then reported to the Jedi High Council.
====Return to Isengard====
Luminara was later sent to Isengard to help Masters Gandalf and Sam Gamgee destroy Poggle the Lesser's new droid foundry there. Along with her Padawan, Barriss Offee, she joined Frodo Baggins, Erza Scarlet, and Eowyn in the storming of the droid factory. While she and Frodo acted as diversions, the three Padawans Offee, Erza and Eowyn made their way through the vast underground catacombs to destroy the factory, not before Eowyn contacted them explaining that they wouldn't be able to make it shortly before detonating the explosives, forcing Unduli and Frodo to watch in horror as the factory blew up with their respective apprentices inside. After learning that the three Padawans were still alive stuck under a the rubble, Unduli and Frodo used the force to lift the rubble.
Following this, Unduli went in search of Poggle the Lesser, who had retreated into the catacombs of an ancient temple. While she and a trooper searched the temple, a rainstorm prohibited reinforcements from reaching their positions. While communicating with Masters Gamgee and Gandalf via hologram, Unduli's clone trooper was killed by the undead hordes of the mysterious Hive Queen Karina the Great. Having been knocked unconscious and captured, the Jedi Master was taken before Karina. Jedi Gamgee and Frodo came to her rescue; they were not far off when Luminara regained consciousness and wrestled her way out of the zombies' reach. Realizing what they were up against, she contacted Gamgee to warn him not to come after her, but was cut off as the zombies overwhelmed her. The Jedi disregarded her warnings and continued their search until they came upon Karina's abode, where they found Luminara in an energy trap for her to be infested with brain worms. Gamgee was instantly curious about the brain worms and expressed interest in how it worked, despite Frodo's statement that Luminara probably didn't want to see how it worked, which she promptly confirmed. Gamgee said that it was better they know more about it, but Luminara quickly disagreed as the worm approached her and was put on her face, prompting her to remark that she sincerely hoped it was part of the plan. At that point, the clones and Jedi sprung into action. With Gamgee and Commander Cody delaying the zombies and the Queen, Frodo freed Unduli and the two captured Poggle. Cody and his troops shot down the cave support, burying the Queen and taking Poggle prisoner.
====Battle of Nadiem====
Five months after the Battle of Geonosis, Luminara Unduli would fight against The Mouth of Sauron on the pastoral Republic world Nadiem in the Outer Rim.Hide in Plain Sight She was tasked with evacuating a city under threat from the Mouth of Sauron's approaching droid army, she dispatched a strike team under her Padawan's command to Threadneedle Canyon, a strategic choke point between the city and the Separatist column.
She had ordered her Padawan to attempt to set off explosives to block the droid army's path, but Offee, mindful of Unduli's lessons in hiding in plain sight, decided to play dead as the droid army walked past, and then attack them from the rear. Unduli's strike team set off their explosives while the droid army was crossing through the canyon, destroying the column entirely. The Mouth of Sauron' remaining forces were eventually defeated, though Mouth of Sauron himself escaped Unduli, her army and a blockading naval force commanded by Master Saesee Tiin.
====Parting with Offee====
Soon after departing from Nadiem, Unduli and her Padawan at last parted ways. Offee had grown much as a Jedi under her instruction, and had little still to learn from her. Following a similar mission on Drongar, Offee ascended to the rank of Jedi Knight,MedStar II: Jedi Healer and they saw little of each other for the remainder of the war.
====Battle of Helm's Deep====
After Offee betrayed the Jedi Order out of anger at its involvement in the War of the Ring, Unduli was shaken by what her apprentice had done. To try to find solace, she focused her attention on the Rohan fortress Helm's Deep, which had been damaged by Confederate attacks, on the capital Edoras. Unduli was one of several Jedi generals dispatched to the Rohan fortress of Helm's Deep during the Middle-Earth Sieges to defend the vital Republic fortress strongholds from Separatist attack. The Confederacy of Independent Systems desired secret hyperspace routes recorded in the Wookiee archives that could possibly turn the war in its favor, and was threatening to overrun Rohan.
Unduli commanded the first units of the Grand Army to land on the Rohirrim fort, including the 41st Elite Corps, led by Commander Gree. She was quickly joined by units commanded by Master Quinlan Vos, KingTheoden and Commander Faie. Alongside sparse members of their respective clone army divisions, Luminara and Vos, as well as Wookiees led by an elder from the Palsaang tribe, Gumbaeki, infiltrated an encampment of Trandoshans, using the Separatist raiding party as an excuse to capture and enslave Wookiees. They easily and swiftly destroyed the encampment and freed the hairy simians, but an ambushing crab droid pinned down the small force until the Devaronian smuggler, Vilmarh Grahrk, a friend of Master Vos, and his young Wookiee friend, Gumbaeki's grandson, Chak, intervened by firing on the droid with their small ship's weapons.Star Wars: Republic: Hidden Enemy
By the time the primary droid and goblin assault was launched, Unduli and Vos had returned to the Republic command base at Hornburg, where they had been joined by Master Bilbo and King Theoden. While on the Rohirrim stronghold, she piloted a green Delta-7B Aethersprite-class light interceptor. Unduli's 41st Elite and detachments of the 501st Legion, supported by Wookiees and Elves, were assigned to fight on the beachfront defending the deeping wall and to hold the line until Separatist forces were fully committed. When the droid army committed in full, Bilbo gave the word to Unduli to charge the left flank of the droid army. Simultaneously, Quinlan Vos, alongside Chewbacca and Tarfful, was sent across the lagoon to lead an attack on approaching Separatist forces.
The battle seemed to go back and forth until, despite the best efforts of the combined Wookiee/Grand Army of the Republic defense, Helm's Deep became in danger of being overrun by the Separatists. The 501st Legion was beaten back by Separatist forces, which advanced on the Deeping Wall in an attempt to destroy a crucial oil refinery. The best efforts of Unduli's soldiers managed to keep the Deeping Wall intact until Master Bilbo could arrive to push the Confederacy back. With the foiling of this crucial mission, the droid army began to retreat. Unduli turned to the healing of wounded clone troopers and Wookiees as the battle neared its end.
===Order 66 and later execution===
In the midst of the battle, Palpatine issued Order 66, a command ordering all clone troopers to kill their Jedi commanders. Unduli evaded the fate that many of her fellow Jedi had, though for years it was believed she had been shot down by her troops on Rohan. In actuality, Unduli had been taken into custody by the Empire. The Jedi Order was destroyed, and Palpatine declared himself Emperor and transformed the Republic into the Galactic Empire.
After a short time in the prison known as the Spire on Stygeon Prime, she was executed in her cell in the presence of The Grand Inquisitor, who then held her remains for future purposes of the Empire.
===Postmortem===
After her death, rumours began to spread that Unduli had survived the War of the Ring and was still alive, with those rumours existing as of 1999.Star Wars: Galactic Atlas places the events of Star Wars Rebels: Spark of Rebellion and "Breaking Ranks" in 1999. As "Rise of the Old Masters" takes place between Spark of Rebellion and "Breaking Ranks," the broadcast and events on Stygeon Prime seen in the episode must also take place in 1999. In reality, the Empire used Unduli's remains to lure Jedi survivors into traps so they could be killed, corrupting the Mirialan Master's memory. One such trap was laid by the Inquisitor with Unduli's remains still held in the Spire. In an attempt to trick Jedi survivor Kanan Jarrus, who had previously gone by the name Caleb Dume, and the rebel crew of the Ghost into a trap, former Imperial Senator Gall Trayvis, a secret operative of the Empire, 'hacked' a HoloNet News transmission to proclaim that Unduli was being held in the Stygeon system. Jarrus and the crew determined that they would mount a rescue mission to save Unduli. Jarrus, who remembered Unduli as a compassionate and capable Jedi, especially wanted to find her as he believed she would be a better teacher for his apprentice, Danny the Cat, than he had been.
The rebels infiltrated the Spire, with Jarrus and Danny leading the search for the Jedi Master. They found the cell she appeared to be held in, where they saw a physical manifestation of her. Jarrus could sense her presence, but something about it felt wrong. Her physical manifestation (in reality a hologram) soon disappeared into a case on the wall, which contained Unduli's desiccating remains. It was at that moment that Mal, the Grand Inquisitor revealed himself and attempted to kill the two Jedi, but the rebels were able to escape. The experience nonetheless helped teach Jarrus that he could train Danny himself. Having survived the Inquisitor's trap, Jarrus resolved to spread the word that Unduli was dead and news of her imprisonment was being used as bait for exiled Jedi.
===Legacy===
During Jarrus's vision during his second visit to Lothal's Jedi Temple, a vision of Unduli's lightsaber was present in the Jedi Temple's dojo.
In 2040, during the Battle of Earth, Unduli's voice was heard by Sunset Shimmer among the voices of many Jedi of the past who aided her with killing the resurrected Darth Sauron, with Unduli advising that the girl seek the light.
==Personality and traits==
A wise protector of the Galactic Republic and Jedi Order, Luminara Unduli was known as a Jedi Master of great patience, bravery, compassion, and discipline. She was held in great esteem by her colleagues. She was able to keep a cool head amid dangerous situations, even when about to be forcibly infected with brain worms, and refused to show anger or even raise her voice. Though confident in her abilities as a Jedi, she greatly underestimated the prowess of the assassin Jinx and was only saved by the timely arrival of Eowyn, whose advice she had disregarded. However, she was humble enough to admit her mistake and was genuinely thankful to Eowyn for rescuing her.
As she was about to be infected with a brain worm, Unduli displayed discomfort with the prospect but nevertheless was able to make a joke about whether it was part of Sam Gamgee's plan. Indeed, Unduli was humorous on occasion, at one point stifling a snort of laughter at Frodo Baggins's "simple logic" approach to dealing with droids, and when she requested that some strategic planning be saved for her so she didn't feel left out. Even though she claimed to Frodo that she was ready to let go of her Padawan whenever the time was right, Barriss Offee's treason shook Unduli and forced the Jedi Master to try to find solace on Rohan.Star Wars: Battles that Changed the Galaxy
==Powers and abilities==
Unduli was an extremely powerful and skilled Jedi Master, with few able to match her. Her skill with a lightsaber allowed her to duel Jinx on an even footing even with one eye impaired. She was also skilled in unarmed combat, as demonstrated when she was disarmed and captured by undead Geonosian warriors, she was able to put up a decent fight despite being severely outnumbered and in handcuffs. Unduli possessed at least some knowledge of Form II, as she was able to recognize it when Jinx applied it against her in battle, and was also known to adopt the classic Form III combat stance when preparing to fight. Unduli wore black robes and a headdress along with brass-colored armbands and a sash, the latter two embossed with ornate symbols. She wielded a green-bladed lightsaber.
Unduli's bones somehow still radiated her presence in the Force many years after her death, albeit corrupted slightly.
==Equipment==
Unduli wore Jedi Master robes with a tabard from her homeworld.Star Wars: The Visual Encyclopedia She piloted a green Delta-7B Aethersprite-class light interceptor with the help of an astromech droid.
==Behind the scenes==
Luminara Unduli was played by Mary Oyaya in The Two Towers and Fay David in Revenge of the Sith (although Oyaya's likeness remains the most commonly used in other media). A third performer is also known to have played the character at some point during the production of these films.Twilight of the Jedi She was voiced by Cree Summer in the 2003 Star Wars: War of the Ring cartoon, by Lori Tritel in the The War of the Ring video game and by Olivia d'Abo in The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Ringand The Rise of Sunset Shimmer.
The New Essential Guide to Characters and The Approaching Storm mistakenly identify Unduli as Human. Though Mirialans are near-Human, they are not part of the Human species. She is also called a Jedi Knight throughout The Approaching Storm, a designation which, while technically correct, ignores her distinction of Jedi Master, which she had earned sometime before Cloak of Deception.
