"We suffer a great many losses in these battles. Too many."
―Luminara Unduli, on the Clone Wars
Luminara Unduli was a Force-sensitive Mirialan female Jedi Master during the final days of the Jedi Order. She commanded the 41st Elite Corps of the Grand Army of the Republic, and was the master of Padawan Barriss Offee. Together, they fought in numerous battlefields of the Clone Wars, before Offee turned against the Jedi Order and bombed the Jedi Temple, much to the horror of Unduli.
At the end of the war, Unduli fought in the Battle of Kashyyyk. She was arrested and executed after the Dark Lord of the Sith Darth Sidious 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.
Jedi in peace time
Unduli fought the Daa Security Forces on Ontotho along with five other Jedi. During her time as a Jedi, Luminara Unduli took on at least two Padawans, one being fellow Mirialan Barriss Offee; which was in keeping with the traditions of her people as only Mirialan Jedi were able to train Mirialan Padawans due to a special agreement with the Jedi Order, although ultimately it was possible for non-Mirialans to take one on. At one point, Offee was sent by her master Unduli to retrieve an old book. During the quest, she encountered a creature and many traps. When she finally reached the place where the book was, she picked up the book and it turned to sand. She later returned and told her master that she had failed. Unduli told Offee that she didn't fail because she never expected Offee to bring her back, it was about the journey and everything she did to find the book. After the assassination attempt on Naboo Senator Padmé Amidala, she attended a meeting between the Jedi Council and Supreme Chancellor Sheev Palpatine about the possibility of war between the Republic and the Separatists under Count Dooku. She also met a Jedi youngling, Caleb Dume, who saw her as a "brave, compassionate, disciplined" Jedi and who respected her greatly. Luminara later came to serve as a mentor for both Dume and Ahsoka Tano. During the Separatist Crisis, Unduli, along with Offee, sat in on a meeting between the Jedi Council and Supreme Chancellor Sheev Palpatine, who discussed the growing influence of the Secessionist Movement, and the threat of an imminent war between them and the Galactic Republic. Later, Unduli was present in Chancellor Palpatine's office along with other senators and Jedi as the issue of whether Palpatine should take supreme executive powers was debated.
Order 66 and later execution
"Yes, I'm afraid Master Luminara died with the Republic, but her bones continue to serve the Empire, luring the last Jedi to their ends." ―The Grand Inquisitor After Offee betrayed the Jedi Order out of anger at its involvement in the Clone War, Unduli was shaken by what her apprentice had done. To try to find solace, she focused her attention on the Wookiee city Kachirho, which had been damaged by Confederate attacks, on the planet Kashyyyk. As she focused on repairing the damages to city and preparing new defenses for it, she ultimately spent months preparing for the coming Separatist invasion of Kashyyyk. During the Outer Rim Sieges, she served alongside Yoda, Republic forces, and Wookiee warriors during the engagement she had been preparing for, directing her forces just prior to the battle's commencement. While on the Wookiee homeworld, she piloted a green Delta-7B Aethersprite-class light interceptor. Unduli led her forces into battle against the attacking Droid Army. In the midst of the battle, Darth Sidious 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 Kashyyyk. In actuality, Unduli had been taken into custody by the Empire. The Jedi Order was destroyed, and Sidious 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
"One of the Republic's greatest peacekeepers, Jedi Master Luminara Unduli, is alive." ―Gall Trayvis After her death, rumors began to spread that Unduli had survived the Clone Wars and was still alive, with those rumors existing as of 5 BBY. 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, Ezra Bridger, than he had been. The rebels infiltrated the Spire, with Jarrus and Bridger 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 the 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 Bridger 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.
Anakin Skywalker: "Looks like a good way to get lost, if you ask me."
Luminara Unduli: "For the unprepared perhaps, but I have instructed Barriss to memorize the labyrinth, all 200 junctions."
Anakin Skywalker: "You always were thorough."
Luminara Unduli: "It pays for one to be prepared. Right, Barriss?"
Barriss Offee: "Especially when other people's lives depend on your success."
―Anakin Skywalker, Luminara Unduli, and Barriss Offee
Unduli was an extremely powerful and skilled Jedi Master, with few able to match her. Her skill with a lightsaber allowed her to duel Asajj Ventress 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 Ventress applied it against her in battle, and was also known to adopt the classic Form III combat stance when preparing to fight.[source?] 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.
Unduli wore Jedi Master robes with a tabard from her homeworld. She piloted a green Delta-7B Aethersprite-class light interceptor with the help of an astromech droid.
Luminara Unduli was played by Mary Oyaya in Attack of the Clones and Fay David in Revenge of the Sith. She was voiced by Olivia d'Abo in Star Wars: The Clone Wars and The Rise of Skywalker. Unduli was originally to have been depicted in Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith being killed as part of Order 66, but this scene was cut along with the deaths of Barriss Offee and Shaak Ti. Unused footage from Attack of the Clones was going to be used for this appearance.
The female Jedi mentioned by Rafa Martez in The Clone Wars season 7 episode "Dangerous Debt" who talked to the sisters after their parents died is described as having dark robes and green skin like Unduli, but it has not been explicitly confirmed whether that was her or not.
