Vokara Che

**Vokara Che** was a female Rutian Twi'lek and Jedi Master who was the Chief Healer of the Jedi Medical Corps before, during and after the Clone Wars. She trained a fellow healer, Rig Nema, to Knighthood. In 0 BEF, during a meeting of the Council of Reassignment, Che as well as the three other leaders of the branches of Jedi Service Corps were granted the joint title of Grand Master upon Yoda's resignation from the position. The five then discussed the future of the Jedi Order, and agreed on a move to the planet Salekelahn, which had an ancient temple discovered by Rachi Sitra.

## Biography

### Early life

Vokara Che was a female Rutian Twi'lek, born on the Twi'lek colony world of Liintaar, in the Gaulus sector. At some point, she was determined to be Force-sensitive by the Jedi Order and taken to the Jedi Temple on Coruscant to be trained, choosing the path of a Jedi healer. She would eventually become the Jedi Order's Chief Healer, leader of the Medical Corps. Che also took on Rig Nema, a fellow prospective healer, as her Padawan.

### Encountering Skywalker

"*I understand, Master Che, the talks are almost over, I’ll be back on Coruscant as soon as possible.*"
"*Obi-Wan. This isn’t your fault. If anything, it’s mine. When we did the initial checkup when you arrived at the Temple we should have known to check there.*"
―Obi-Wan Kenobi and Che[src]
In 13 BEF, Che encountered Anakin Skywalker and his new master Obi-Wan Kenobi when Skywalker was brought into the Jedi Order at the age of nine. She did the initial diagnostic tests for a new entry into the Order and discovered that his blood was almost entirely Force energy, which had been determined by Qui-Gon Jinn when he discovered Skywalker on Tatooine and deemed him "the Chosen One." Later, when Skywalker's fellow Padawan Aayla Secura discovered that Skywalker still had his slave chip in him, she brought Skywalker to the Halls of Healing and to Che, who had a surgeon quickly work to remove it.

### War's end

"*And it would be wise to explore them? If they are unusual, they may also have unusual and often unfriendly wildlife.*"
"*And, Master Che, we will find that out* if *we get there.*"
"*I am only being cautious. Continue, then.*"
―Vokara Che and Rachi Sitra[src]
At the end of the Clone Wars, Che was summoned to a meeting of the Council of Reassignment which would determine the future of the Order with the threat of the Sith becoming realized. Che suggested that the Order relocate to Ossus, though Master Jocasta Nu shot that idea down, believing Ossus was too well-known to hide from the Sith. Rachi Sitra, of the Exploration Corps, suggested the world of Salekelahn, a world she discovered as having an as-of-yet unknown Jedi temple. Che expressed caution about the world, but ultimately it was chosen as their destination. Yoda, the current Grand Master, also resigned his title to the four members of that council before departing.

Che was able to escape the temple prior to its sacking aboard one of the praxeum ships which were recalled.

## Personality and traits

Che was a Rutian Twi'lek, and as such she had blue skin, and she also possessed blue eyes. She was in control of her emotions, but was apologetic when it was discovered that Anakin Skywalker still possessed his slave chip, believing it was her fault for not realizing that he had one. She was also cautious about moving the entire Jedi to a new and unknown world.

## Powers and abilities

Che was capable enough with Force healing to become a Jedi healer and later the Order's Chief Healer.
