Cerean

Ki-Adi-Mundi was a Cerean alien who sat on the Jedi Council. A humanoid being, Ki's most distinguishing physical feature was an enlarged conical cranium that contained a binary brain. When Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn reported a Sith attack during the events surrounding the Battle of Naboo, Ki-Adi-Mundi expressed shock at the notion. "Impossible," he remarked, "the Sith have been extinct for a millennium." He also failed to see how far Count Dooku had fallen from the Jedi ideals just prior to the Clone Wars, believing that Dooku was incapable of violence or murder.

A Cerean youngling who became a fugitive on the Trandoshan hunters' moon of Wasskah, O-Mer resigned himself to life on the run -- until Ahsoka Tano rallied him and his fellow Jedi to fight back against the cruel hunters. Using his Jedi skills for something other than hiding and fleeing, O-Mer proved instrumental in the attack on the Trandoshan base, and won his way back to freedom.

A frigid Outer Rim planet marked by jagged crystalline landscapes, Mygeeto was the homeworld of the Lurmen and controlled by the InterGalactic Banking Clan. During the Outer Rim Sieges, Ki-Adi-Mundi and clone forces under Commander Bacara battled Separatist droids for control of Mygeeto. When Supreme Chancellor Palpatine issued Order 66, Bacara and his clones shot their Jedi General dead.

Coruscant is the vibrant heart and capital of the galaxy during the age of the Empire, featuring a diverse mix of cultures and citizens spread over hundreds of levels. Once the home of the main Jedi Temple -- the central hub of Jedi training and learning for over a thousand generations and the repository of the Jedi Archives -- these traditions ended when the planet bore witness to Order 66.

A noble order of protectors unified by their ability to tap into the power of the Force, the Jedi Order were the guardians of peace and justice in the Galactic Republic. The age of the Jedi would end, however, due to a nefarious plot by the Sith Lord Darth Sidious.

Prior to being chosen as Padawan Learners, children being trained in the force spent time as Jedi Younglings. They were divided into ten clans of up to twenty younglings and trained in the Jedi arts. One of their rites of passage was “The Gathering,”which was the harvesting of kyber crystals for their lightsabers on the remote world of Ilum. The Jedi Younglings in the Jedi Temple during Order 66 were brutally slain by Darth Vader.
