The Jedi High Council

The Jedi High Council, also known as the Jedi Council, was the ruling body of the Jedi Order. Situated in one of the four towers of the Jedi Temple on Coruscant, the Council consisted of twelve Jedi Masters who oversaw and governed the Jedi Order as a whole. Although the Jedi supported the Galactic Republic and swore allegiance to its government, the Galactic Senate, the Council possessed the autonomy to govern the affairs of the Order without interference from the political establishment.

Council circa 32 BBY

Yoda

Species: Unnamed species

Homeworld: Unknown

Portrayed by: Frank Oz (lead puppeteer), Deep Roy (The Empire Strikes Back; body double), Warwick Davis (The Phantom Menace; body double), several assistant puppeteers

Voiced by: Frank Oz (films, Rebels), Tom Kane (The Clone Wars, Forces of Destiny), Marc Thompson (Dooku: Jedi Lost), Piotr Michael (Young Jedi Adventures) ^{Foreign VAs}

In General

Badass Adorable: He is the one of the most iconic examples of this trope ever. His short height, adorable green appearance, big cute eyes, voice, and wisdom know no limits. And yet, he is one of the most powerful Force users and lightsaber duelists of the Star Wars canon.
Barefoot Sage: He's never seen wearing shoes and is one of the wisest and most powerful Jedi that ever lived.
Bunny-Ears Lawyer: He is an eccentric and whimsical little creature who isn't the Grand Master of the Jedi Order without damn good reason.
Character Catchphrase: Several.
- "Hmmmm..."
- "Fear leads to anger; anger leads to hate; hate leads to suffering."
- "Size matters not."
Characterization Marches On: Yoda's first appearance in Empire Strikes Back has him acting as a rather hammy and goofy, but still wise character who is Obfuscating Stupidity about what he knows. Yoda's subsequent appearances give him a much more stoic characterization, though he's not above acting like a Deadpan Snarker Trickster Mentor on occasion.
Cool Old Guy: He has a good sense of humor, which he presents in The Clone Wars, the Original Trilogy, and the Sequel Trilogy. However, he's still very wise and an adept teacher.
Crossover Relatives: Parodied. Whenever George Lucas gets asked what species Yoda is, his go-to response is to jokingly call Yoda a frog, more specifically the bastard son of Kermit the Frog and Miss Piggy, which is perhaps the only example of Word of God that even die-hard fans understand to be a joke.
- Similarly, E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial has the titular alien apparently recognise a trick-or-treater dressed as Yoda, which becomes a Brick Joke when members of E.T.'s species can be seen in the Galactic Senate chamber in The Phantom Menace, hinting that there may be a connection between them after all.
Despair Event Horizon:
- In Revenge of the Sith, Yoda is nothing short of devastated when he senses all of his Jedi comrades rapidly dying one by one across the galaxy, clutching his chest from the sheer heartbreak. Fortunately, he wasn't so broken that he couldn't defend himself when his own clone commanders made a move to terminate him.
- Later, he has a more subdued one when Luke foolishly rushes to fight Vader without completing his training. He and Obi-Wan both speak like Luke is already a dead man as soon as the X-Wing starts to take off and they begin ruminating on who can replace him as their last hope against the Empire.
Eccentric Mentor: He has a funny way of speaking, but is still very capable and wise.
Elective Broken Language: Given the fact that he does speak in standard English sometimes, his strange speech mannerism is implied to be by choice.
Emerald Power: Yoda, who is green skinned, with a green lightsaber no less, is one of the strongest Jedi there is.
Evolutionary Retcon: An inversion occurred with the Prequel Trilogy. When he first appeared in The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi, Yoda was created with puppets. In Attack of the Clones, Yoda was created using 100% CGI, and in the George Lucas Altered Version of The Phantom Menace, the puppet was replaced with CGI. In The Last Jedi, he's a puppet again, reflecting his appearance as a Force Ghost near the end of Jedi.
Expressive Ears: His mood can be easily read from them.
The Gadfly: Comes with being a Trickster Mentor, it might be hard to tell apart the instances of when he's kriffing around with people, trying to teach them something, or trying to teach them something while kriffing around with them, although it is usually the last one.
Genius Bruiser: One of the strongest Jedi around, as well as one of the smartest.
Good Counterpart: In Force abilities, Yoda embodies the Light Side of the Force as much as Darth Sidious represents the Dark Side.
Good Is Not Soft:
- Yoda spares no clones when it turns out they have turned against the Jedi and slaughtered them en masse, showing that despite having formerly considered them allies, he won't hesitate to do what needs to be done.
- Yoda puts Luke through Training from Hell to perform inhuman feats of strength, dexterity and stamina as part of his Jedi training. The implication, however, is that Luke is being forced to rely on the Force; Yoda is making him perform superhuman feats that, as a human, Luke is not capable of performing, but as a Jedi, with the Force flowing through him, he is.
Guest Fighter: Yoda becomes one in SoulCalibur IV alongside Darth Vader and his non-canon apprentice, Starkiller. Specifically, Yoda was chosen as the Version-Exclusive Content for the Xbox 360 port... Ya know, because he's green like the Xbox logo. As he is less than half the height of most of the playable cast, he is a Mechanically Unusual Fighter in that game.
Hidden Depths: For all of Yoda's issues, he genuinely does cherish each individual Jedi, even regarding Anakin as a friend. In fact, his "ideal world" reveals that Yoda's greatest desire is for all Jedi (dead or alive) to be at harmony and peace, being free from agony. This even extends to his former Padawan Count Dooku, with Yoda briefly smiling when encountering an uncorrupted version of him.
Informed Ability: Downplayed. While he's revered for his great wisdom, Yoda can also be pretty damn short-sighted. Not only did he and the Council outright fail to sense Palpatine's true nature, but their enablement of the Republic's corruption, child soldiers, and a clone army basically sealed the Jedi Order's downfall. Likewise, for all of his centuries as a Jedi, Yoda's understanding of the Light Side's fundamental elements (e.g. compassion, redemption, forgiveness, etc...) can be somewhat lacking. One of the biggest examples by far was when he argued the Dark Side's hold on others as "absolute", something younger Jedi have personally disproven.
Inexplicably Awesome: He's just a short, green, centuries-old alien who is quite possibly the most powerful Jedi alive. How he got that way is officially the one Noodle Incident that's enforced and that neither Expanded Universe nor Legends will ever touch.
Lack of Empathy: His dogmatic belief in the Jedi Code's forbidding of attachment causes him no small number of issues throughout the last decades of his life.
- In Legends, the Dark Rendezvous novel implies that he's also speaking from personal experience-–he has lived for centuries and if he dwelt on the pain of every loved one he'd ever lost in that time period, he'd be an emotional wreck, pointing out that he has loved and hated more than even an old man like Dooku can imagine. So, he is not uncaring, mostly just out of touch compared to other long-lived individuals like Yaddle, thus struggling to connect with a 22 year old Anakin.
- Yoda also struggles to connect with Luke, which causes friction and leads to Luke willingly walking into the Empire's trap on Bespin when he has visions of his friends being tortured there. When Luke asks if he should let his friends suffer and die, Yoda bluntly replies that he should.
Large Ham: He is this in The Empire Strikes Back during his "crazy local creature" act. He also yells louder than Mel Gibson in Braveheart whenever he's engaged in combat.
Laser Blade: He wields a green-bladed lightsaber, which has a shorter length than a normal lightsaber due to his height.
Little Green Men: His species is green and stands at two feet tall. Darth Sidious even calls him "my little green friend".
Meaningful Name: Yoda means "one who knows" in Hebrew and "warrior" in Sanskrit (though we don't see him live up to the latter until Attack of the Clones).
Mentor Archetype: He is a mentor to the Jedi Order in the Prequel Trilogy, but more specifically, he was once Dooku's Jedi Master, and trains Luke in The Empire Strikes Back. The High Republic era comics reveal that he also trained Kantam Sy.
Mentor Mascot: One of the most recognizable symbols of the franchise, he is, and he's a mentor to boot.
Mind over Matter: Yoda is incredibly strong with telekinesis, capable of lifting or manipulating things much bigger than himself, including stopping a massive pillar from crushing Obi-Wan and Anakin and 'catching' a repulsorpod Sidious has flung at him in midair, spinning it and flinging it right back at him. He teaches Luke how to use the Force to move large objects, explaining that when it comes to the Force size is ultimately irrelevant. He also managed to pull an X-wing from a swamp.
Miniature Senior Citizen: He's 900 years old, and barely reaches to knee level of most characters. Justified, since he's an alien.
My Greatest Failure:
- His failure to defeat the Emperor in Revenge of the Sith is what spurs him to go into exile and reluctantly train Luke to finish the job for him.
- Towards the end of his life, he regrets not allowing Obi-Wan to tell Luke the truth about his father, which had led Luke to confront Vader completely unprepared.
Mysterious Past: Nothing is revealed about his background, not even the name of his species, only one other member of which is known in the films, and another in a television show. George Lucas actually forbade anyone from exploring the topic of Yoda's species and backstory in the Expanded Universe, something Disney has continued to enforce even after he sold the franchise to them, save for the Grogu, AKA "Baby Yoda", who even then hasn't had his species named.
Nice Guy: Yoda is the embodiment of good. He is good-hearted, wise, kind, a caring teacher, and brave warrior determined to save people.
Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot: Yoda was the first non-human Jedi we meet in the entire series, proving that even tiny, green, backwards-talking elves could become space wizards, too. The Prequels established that the Order was once made up of many diverse alien species, some far stranger than whatever Yoda is.
No Name Given: Not Yoda, but his species. Their Wookieepedia article even calls them "Yoda's Species".
Noodle Incident: According to Huyang, how he obtained the Kyber crystal for his lightsaber is a very interesting story.
The Paladin: Yoda embodies the strength, wisdom and justice that the Jedi Knights were supposed to inspire across the galaxy.
The Paragon: As the Grandmaster of the Jedi Council, he embodied all the traits of an ideal Jedi and spent most of his long life spreading his knowledge and inspiring others with legendary feats of heroism.
Pint-Sized Powerhouse: He is dwarfed even by most children and barely comes up to the knees of most adult characters. He's also a ridiculously powerful force user who can go toe to toe in a lightsaber battle with experienced Sith lords.
Pointy Ears: Befitting his elf-like appearance.
Proverbial Wisdom: Downplayed; he doesn't quote actual proverbs, but his unusual speech manner makes everything he says sound like one. In reality, Yoda was very direct and practical to the point of bluntness in his sagely advice to Luke.
Psychic Powers: Even greater than those of other Jedi. In Revenge of the Sith, he senses the deaths of Jedi all over the galaxy, and in The Empire Strikes Back, he easily lifted Luke's X-Wing from the swamp when Luke himself failed.
Really 700 Years Old: He lives to be 900 years old before passing away peacefully from age. This is apparently the regular lifespan of his species, an infant of which is still a baby at 50 years old.
Reasonable Authority Figure: He's normally very sensible and wise, he tries his best to help his students find the answers they seek, and he admits that he's not infallible or not to be questioned. Unfortunately, he's not always giving advice people would want to hear, or necessarily very good at giving it in a way they can handle.
Reluctant Warrior: Yoda follows the Jedi Code to the letter: always use the Force for defence, never attack. This does not, however, mean he doesn't know how to use a lightsaber when he needs to.
- Mingled in his "crazy old hermit" Establishing Character Moment in Empire Strikes Back, he obliquely implies that he dislikes his reputation as a great warrior ("wars not make one great"), which makes sense as his involvement in the Clone Wars was one of his profoundest regrets. After all, there's more to the Jedi Way than fighting.
Renowned Selective Mentor: He rarely takes on apprentices in favor of teaching large batches of younglings at the Temple, with his selection of Kantam Sy and Dooku being one of the rare exceptions. By the time of Empire Strikes Back, he can no longer afford to be choosy with his apprentice selections and reluctantly goes along with mentoring Luke after some browbeating from Obi-Wan's ghost. A chapter in From a Certain Point of View reveals that Yoda always wanted to train Leia rather than Luke.
Retired Badass: By the time of the Original Trilogy, he has retreated to a lonely planet in self-imposed isolation.
Retroactive Idiot Ball: Yoda was aware that Force lightning was one of Palpatine's abilities because of their duel in Revenge of the Sith, and that film along with Attack of the Clones showed that lightsabers can block Force lightning. Luke discards his lightsaber when he confronts Palpatine, implying that Yoda never told Luke about Palpatine's lightning or that his lightsaber could block it. Because of the prequels, Yoda looks dumb for not informing Luke how to deal with Palpatine's lightning.
- Averted in the novelization of "Return of the Jedi" where it's stated that Luke knew about Palpatine's Force lightning and tried to block it, but that Palpatine's lightning was just too strong for Luke to block.
Riddle for the Ages: George Lucas typically didn't involve himself in the EU or Legends very much, but it's known that one of the few things he's explicitly forbade EU authors from doing is revealing the name of Yoda's species, or much of his mysterious past. There are only a few hints about the Jedi that Yoda was before the days of the Prequel Trilogy, and it's not likely that they'll ever fully be explored. Even after the sale of the franchise to Disney, the mandate on Yoda's past remains in effect.
Strange-Syntax Speaker: Hmm, yes he is? Agree, you do. This speaking style appears to be unique to him rather than a trait of his species, since Yaddle speaks normally. He makes it clear on many occasions that he's perfectly capable of speaking Basic with normal syntax, he simply chooses not to for whatever reason.
Strong and Skilled: Not only does he have one of the strongest connections to The Force in canon, but he's also mastered the use of several Force techniques and is the master of Form IV of lightsaber combat: Ataru. His mastery of the form allowed him to overpower both Count Dooku and Emperor Palpatine (who are master swordsmen themselves) in lightsaber combat.
Trickster Mentor:
- He shows signs of being this in "The Gathering". When the younglings are warned that the ice door to the crystal cave will seal behind them at day's end, they all assume it will take another 19 days (how long it takes for the sun to rise on Ilum) to escape. At the end, Petro crashes through the ice to escape. When called on it, Yoda points out that the door is just ice and not that difficult to break if you're determined. They were only trapped by their own fears.
- In The Last Jedi, as Luke is wallowing in despair and threatened to burn the hollowed-out tree containing original Jedi texts and hesitates, Yoda calls down lightning to strike the tree and set the tree on fire, dismissing the loss of the texts as irrelevant. He makes a reference to Rey already having all she needs during his speech to Luke. The audience sees later that she stole the texts before leaving, so they are perfectly safe and Yoda knew this.
Verbal Tic: Backwards, his grammatical order is.

High Republic Era

Grand Master Yoda

https://mediaproxy.tvtropes.org/width/1000/https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/scan_20220804_43.jpg

"To do this, though, to forge our path to the future, guided by the secrets of the past, we will be."

One of three Jedi Grand Masters sitting upon the Council, Yoda felt a calling to leave Coruscant and wander the galaxy during the High Republic Era. Taking a sabbatical from the Council, Yoda traveled on the Star Hopper with several other Jedi, including his former apprentice Kantam Sy, to teach the younglings and padawans aboard about the Force while providing aid to planets along the galactic frontier as the Republic and Jedi Order returned to previously isolated regions of the Outer Rim.

Big Damn Heroes: After going missing in the first arc of The High Republic Adventures, he makes a grand return during the Jedi's mission to Corellia by taking down a Nihil ship with the Force in Midnight Horizon.
My Greatest Failure: Whatever Keeve Tannis's ultimate fate is was highly troubling to Yoda. The first time she was mentioned as part of the Lost Twenty over a century later, Yoda becomes quiet and remarks sadly upon it. During his exile on Dagobah, a vision of her haunts him in the Cave of Evil. He tries to insist that she made her own choices, but is clearly rattled by the accusations of abandoning her.
Nice Job Breaking It, Hero:
- He and Creighton Sun's decision to cover up the existence of the Nameless following the Night of Sorrow while they investigate their origins has dire consequences when the Nihil acquire the Nameless 150 years later. With Sun and other Jedi who survived encounters with the Nameless during the battle long dead and Yoda missing during much of the crisis, nobody is around to warn the other Jedi what exactly they are dealing with (while Arkoff also fought in the Battle of Dalna and has been taking The Slow Path deciphering Azlin Rell's ramblings, he's unaware of the Nameless themselves and doesn't get any results until the damage has already been done).
- Shadows of Starlight reveals he went missing during most of Phase I because he was seeking out Azlin Rell. He initially believes Azlin genuinely seeks rehabilitation after embracing the Dark Side to fight off his Nameless-afflicted madness, but after enough therapy to uncover any memories about leads on the Nameless, Azlin - who is still very much insane - sabotages a Republic patrol ship and has it crash into a city on Travyx Prime (where the descendants of Dass and Spence Leffbruk - some of the few people who discovered Planet X - settled after the Hyperspace Chase) to keep Yoda from getting to Planet X, an action which kills countless numbers of civilians.
Put on a Bus: In the fifth issue of The High Republic Adventures Yoda disappears on a mission to Vrant Tarnum with Elder Tromak, with the other Jedi unaware of where his mission was taking him.
Withholding the Big Good: Yoda's power and knowledge of the Nameless would solve a lot of the issues the Jedi face in Phase I, so his disappearance near the start of the conflict makes things more difficult for the heroes. His return at the end of Phase I is one of the few bright spots the Jedi have in the face of numerous losses.

Prequel Trilogy Era

Grand Master Yoda

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/yoda_pt_sw.png

"In this war, a danger there is, of losing who we are."

"The shroud of the dark side has fallen. Begun, the Clone War has."

The sole Grand Master of the Jedi Council and undisputed leader of the Order, Yoda presides over a Jedi Order that has become increasingly isolated from the people of the galaxy compared to the past. Troubled by the rising corruption of the Republic and growing turmoil in the galaxy, Yoda reluctantly leads the Jedi into the Clone Wars as generals while seeking to combat the return of the Jedi's ancient foes, the Sith.

Ace Custom: During the Clone Wars, Yoda pilots a unique-looking Jedi starfighter that is smaller to fit his size and has his personal crest painted on one of the wings.
Adaptational Nice Guy: Believe it or not, Yoda was significantly colder about clones in Legends than he was in Canon. He discusses them as if they are be held at arm's length, and acknowledges them not as people, but weapons provided by the enemy and is never considered to have a close bond with them. Canon wise, Yoda is actively encouraging the clones to think for themselves and reminds them that they are people, rather than just dispensable soldiers. However, this doesn't stop him from killing them without a moment's hesitation the second Order 66 takes effect.
Always Someone Better: He more than holds his own against Dooku in a lightsaber duel through sheer speed, and at the end of the war Palpatine likewise finds himself unable to defeat Yoda with a lightsaber, having to fall back on his Force abilities to stalemate him.
Ambadassador: He goes on a diplomatic mission in "Ambush" to convince King Katuunko of Toydaria to aid the Republic, which leads to him being forced to take on a battalion of Separatist droids with only three clone troopers to help him. He promptly mows his way through the entire battalion, and easily prevents Ventress from killing Katuunko.
Attack! Attack! Attack!: Given his status as a serene, enlightened Old Master, his style in combat is surprisingly aggressive. It is also a canonical attribute: his Form IV: Ataru fighting style is dubbed "The Aggression Form" and considered to be one of the two most aggressive lightsaber combat forms ever developed by the Jedi Order.
Attack Reflector: He is able to catch Force lightning with his bare hands and even throw it right back at his opponent, as demonstrated in his duel against Dooku (less successfully so against Sidious, but Yoda still drove his Force lightning back to him). Also, despite Ataru's weaknesses to blaster fire and multiple opponents, Yoda's mastery of the form was such that he was able to defeat multiple blaster orientated opponents and deflect their bolts as well as any other Jedi.
Benevolent Boss: Yoda is always friendly and understanding with his charges, although he is initially reluctant to accept Qui-Gon's insistence that Anakin become a Jedi. Despite not being massively close to Anakin and a bit wary of him due to his propensity for recklessness and arrogance (though they get on better towards the end of the Clone Wars, with Yoda performing some of his signature mischievous nose-tweaking), he never berates him the way Mace Windu does and takes the time to listen to his problems and offer him some Jedi advice (even if Anakin ultimately doesn't find it helpful).
Beware the Nice Ones: During his duel with Count Dooku in Attack of the Clones, Yoda proves that behind the demeanor of a grandfatherly Jedi Master is a ridiculously skilled swordsman who is ready and willing to give the Count - otherwise the greatest Master Swordsman in the entire galaxy - the fight of his life. In Revenge of the Sith, Yoda proves this even further, decapitating two clone troopers with a single blow and later facing down Sidious in a manner which just how seriously pissed off he is.
Big Good: He serves as this in the Prequel Trilogy along with The Clone Wars, being the leader and wisest of intergalactic peacekeepers.
Cassandra Truth: When he starts hearing the long dead Qui-Gon speaking to him, the rest of the Council figure Yoda's either gone senile or is being manipulated by the Sith.
Combat Parkour:
- Oh yes. Yoda's lightsaber form, Form IV: Ataru, is noted to comprise nothing but acrobatics. It utilizes the Force to enable a ridiculous level of agility, allowing the user to employ somersaults, leaps, cartwheels and spins in every strike. Just look at his duels with Dooku and Sidious.
- Yoda's use of Ataru is arguably justified, as his small stature relative to most other beings in the galaxy means that he is almost always at a height disadvantage. Although, this also means that one of the form's primary weaknesses of confined spaces is rarely ever an issue for Yoda.
Combat Pragmatist: Against both Dooku and Sidious.
- Dooku tries to use the Force against Yoda several times, from hurling things at him to Force lightning, but Yoda is able to either counter or block (or absorb) everything Dooku throws at him, forcing Dooku to resort to lightsaber combat, which doesn't really go that well for him either. Given that Dooku effortlessly outclasses everyone else bar Windu, and Obi-Wan and Anakin at the very height of their powers in Revenge of the Sith (and that after Yoda had noted he'd got rusty).
- Yoda and Sidious start their duel exchanging evenly matched Force attacks, but it's quickly shown that Sidious struggles in bladework against Yoda, so from that point onwards the Jedi tries to close distance with him in order to continue in the field that offers him the best chances, while Sidious tries to retreat beyond Yoda's range.
Connected All Along: Revenge of the Sith reveals that he has met Chewbacca; in fact, they fought together during the Clone Wars and Chewie helped Yoda escape Kashyyyk after the execution of Order 66.
Curb-Stomp Battle: Unless you're a high-level Jedi or Sith, facing Yoda ends in this.
- In "Ambush", Yoda easily blocks a lightsaber swing by Ventress and then takes her weapons from her with a mere gesture.
- In his own self-titled comic, Grievous attempts to defeat him with only one lightsaber in hand. Yoda effortlessly defends against his strikes, lands a devastating blow to his mask that leaves a chunk of his brain exposed, stops his lightsaber with the Force, and sends him flying across the room with a Force Push. To add insult to injury, he casually steals Grievous' lightsaber from his hand using the Force before fleeing from the Battle Droids Grievous sends to kill him.
A Day in the Limelight: Yoda is the main character in "Ambush" and the Yoda arc.
Deadpan Snarker: Not even Master Yoda is above a little snark now and then.
Obi-Wan: So, how was my funeral?
Yoda: A better performance than you, your corpse gave.
Doting Parent: To every warrior in the Jedi Order, younglings in particular... when not giving them Training from Hell, that is.
Dramatic Drop: When he senses the deaths of all his fellow Jedi after the execution of Order 66, there's a close-up of him dropping his walking stick in shock and grief.
The Dreaded: Throughout the entirety of the Skywalker Saga, Palpatine shows arrogance and casual amusement to anyone who tries to stand up to him. Except for Yoda, who manages to repeatedly make Sidious display fear and uncertainty during their duel in Revenge of the Sith. The latter even tried to flee before the fight itself began.
Dual Wielding: After stealing one of Grievous' lightsabers at the end of their duel in his self-titled comic, Yoda employs this in his rescue of Anakin and the clones under his command.
Enemy Without: One of his trials in "Destiny" involves him facing his own inner darkness, which takes the form of a shadowy, demonic version of himself with Glowing Eyes of Doom.
Entertainingly Wrong: In Revenge of the Sith, he voices doubt that Anakin really is the chosen one due to how emotionally unstable and unorthodox he is. Both him and Obi-Wan conclude that they were off in the prophecy and it was actually his son, Luke, who was the Chosen One. As it turns out, they were wrong: Anakin did destroy the Sith exactly as prophesized, but only after becoming one himself.
Fatal Flaw: Like the Jedi Order as a whole, Arrogance and Complacency, with an extra touch of Dogmatism. Yoda's initial difficulty in acknowledging the possibility of the Sith returning, and insistence on clinging as strongly as possible to the Jedi Order's beliefs, lost the order several of its best members when they were killed by the Sith while alienating others and ultimately driving multiple Jedi to the Dark Side. He recognises this at the end of Revenge of the Sith, and it's heavily implied that this is a large part of why he goes into such an isolated exile.
A Father to His Men: In "Ambush", he encourages the clone troopers to develop self-identity.
Fire-Forged Friends: Despite initially disapproving of Anakin's training because of his fear of the boy turning to the Dark Side, the two eventually form a bond over the years. Thus, Yoda is quite forgiving of Anakin's Cowboy Cop tendencies, to the point of hinting that he knows about the younger Jedi's relationship with Padmé. Of course, this only makes it sadder when Yoda's insensitive actions end up contributing Anakin's fall to the Dark Side, which further cement the former's jaded beliefs.
Flanderization: The Prequel Trilogy and The Clone Wars exaggerate how often he uses his iconic syntax, whereas in the Original Trilogy he would occasionally speak in the typical grammatical order. His appearance in The Last Jedi features the Flanderization reversed as he's capable of speaking normally again. Of course, it's possible that the speech patterns might have been an intentional affectation that he dispensed with after getting completely serious.
Friend to All Children: He personally trains Jedi younglings who have no masters of their own, and encourages the kind of wisdom only someone as pure as a child can have.
Frontline General: He involves himself on many battlefields during the Clone Wars, leading armies of clone troopers against the Confederacy.
Honor Before Reason: He allows Anakin to be trained out of respect for Qui-Gon despite his fears of what Anakin could become. Too bad Yoda never truly let go of said fears, even after a decade had passed.
Hand Seals: While meditating in Polis Massa, he can be seen doing the mida no join, a real-life hand gesture from Japanese Buddhism.
Heroic BSoD: He has a very brief one in Revenge of the Sith after the execution of Order 66, dropping his walking stick, clutching his chest, and almost collapsing when he senses the death of most of his fellow Jedi. He quickly snaps out of it, though.
Hypocrite: In The Phantom Menace he gives a big speech, admonishing young Anakin for being afraid to lose his mother, saying that fear leads to the Dark side. Yet, at the end of the same film, he tells Obi-Wan that the reason he disapproves of training Anakin is that he's afraid of doing so.
Yoda: Fear is the path to the Dark side. Fear leads to anger, anger lead to hate. Hate leads to suffering. I sense much fear in you.
Also Yoda: The Chosen One the boy may be. Nevertheless, grave danger I fear in his training.
- Similarly, despite admonishing Anakin's Cow Boy Cop actions, Yoda clearly isn't above using them for his own means.
Immortality Seeker: After being contacted by Qui-Gon Jinn in "Voices", Yoda begins a quest to discover how to keep his identity after becoming one with the Force after death, culminating in his trials under the Five Priestesses in "Destiny" and his rejection of the Sith Lords in "Sacrifice".
Incorruptible Pure Pureness:
- While there are several examples of Good Is Not Soft among Jedi and Yoda himself can be a good example, it's clear that he firmly stays away from the Dark Side. This is also subverted, as "Destiny" shows that he isn't entirely incorruptible, as the trial of hubris had him confronting his own inner darkness, born from "spending [his] days in the decadence of war", and then Double Subverted in that he overcomes his own hubris by acknowledging that he does have a Dark Side and then rejecting it.
- It's possible in Revenge of the Sith that Yoda's matching Sidious' power at the end of their battle came from him briefly tapping into the Dark Side, as his facial expression turned scary while he started deflecting the Force lightning back. His self-imposed exile may have been an attempt to avoid falling into it again by avoiding open conflict with the Sith. Certainly, the Legends novel Dark Rendezvous gives us a glimpse of what Dark Yoda would be like, when Yoda deliberately touches the Dark Side for a moment to give Dooku - who has been trying to persuade him to Fall - a look at what he would get. Dooku is utterly horrified and instantly concludes that Dark Yoda wouldn't be as bad as Sidious - he would be infinitely worse.
Lightning Bruiser: Don't let his height and short legs fool you, he's not only very powerful but also extremely fast. Dooku and Palpatine can barely keep up with him in a lightsaber duel before eventually getting overpowered and none of the Clone Troopers programmed to kill him in Order 66 don't even come close to doing so before they get a taste of his lightsaber.
Master-Apprentice Chain: He trained Count Dooku, one of the villains in the Canon, who in turn trained Qui-Gon, who then trained Obi-Wan, who then trained Anakin, who in turn trained Ahsoka, who then trained Sabine. On his deathbed, Yoda entrusts Luke with passing down what he has learned from Obi-Wan and him.
Master Swordsman: As shown in Attack of the Clones, The Clone Wars, and Revenge of the Sith. He managed to gain the upper hand against Count Dooku, destroy a significant amount of a Separatist droids, and actually overpower Darth Sidious with swordplay, only losing the advantage when the Emperor began avoiding close quarters fighting and instead attacking with the Force.
My God, What Have I Done?: While he doesn't utter the phrase, his expression just screams that he's blaming himself when Ahsoka refuses to return to the Order, which is revisited in "Destiny". In the same scene, he is shown to react this way whenever he feels he's steered the Jedi wrong.
My Significance Sense Is Tingling: Yoda is shown on a few occasions to be capable of sensing significant events occurring far away. In Attack of the Clones, he senses Anakin's grief and rage over his mother's death and massacre of the Tusken Raiders on Tatooine while he's on Coruscant; although he doesn't seem to know exactly what happened, he does know Anakin is involved and that he is "in terrible pain". In The Clone Wars, he senses a shift in the Force and determines that thieves will arrive at the Jedi Temple. In Revenge of the Sith, he senses the deaths of hundreds of Jedi across the galaxy following the execution of Order 66.
Never My Fault: In Dooku: Jedi Lost, Yoda blames Master Kostana's influence for encouraging Dooku to break the Jedi Code by remaining in contact with his sister, Jenza. He conveniently forgets that 1: Yoda was the one who took Dooku to visit his home planet, Serenno, where he was reunited with his sister, in the first place, and 2: Dooku only started to look up to Kostana after bonding with his sister. When the Order falls, this opinion shifts dramatically, to It's All My Fault.
No-Sell: Count Dooku's Sith lightning does not work against him; even Palpatine's fails to kill him with a direct hit.
Offhand Backhand: When he and Obi-Wan are storming the Jedi Temple after Order 66, his last attack is a no-look redirection of a blaster bolt back into the chest of the clone trooper who fired it.
Old Master: Fits the archetype of being deceptively old and small. Not only is he still among the wisest in his knowledge of the Force, but thanks to Attack of the Clones, The Clone Wars, and Revenge of the Sith, we get to see just how adept he is with a lightsaber.
One-Man Army: During the Clone Wars, he takes down Ventress' droid army on Rugosa almost singlehandedly. Following the execution of Order 66, he cuts down clone troopers in droves in Revenge of the Sith.
The Patient Has Left the Building: After claiming he's been contacted by the spirit of Qui-Gon, the rest of the Council put Yoda on indefinite medical leave. Knowing he's not crazy, but that the Council won't ever believe him or let him investigate further (what with the guards standing over his bed), he asks Anakin for help getting out of the Temple, since rule-breaking is Anakin's forte.
Pint-Sized Powerhouse: This less-than-a-meter-tall alien is said to be a "great warrior" in The Empire Strikes Back, but he doesn't really showcase it... until Attack of the Clones, where he fights Count Dooku with a flurry of flips and slashes.
Pre-Asskicking One-Liner: Towards Sidious before their climatic duel in Revenge of the Sith:
Sidious: At last, the Jedi are no more.
Yoda: Not if anything to say about it, I HAVE! (flings Sidious across the room with the Force)
Rank Scales with Asskicking: He is the de facto leader of the Jedi Order and likely the most powerful Jedi of his time.
Saved by Canon: Yoda does not die until Return of the Jedi, so he predictably survives the Prequel Trilogy and the Clone Wars.
Screaming Warrior: He lets out a Kiai-like yell while fighting Dooku in Attack of the Clones.
Secret Secret-Keeper: It's implied that he knows about Anakin and Padmé's Secret Relationship. He saw Padmé rushing to hug him after their fight with Count Dooku, tells Anakin that he will find great emotion in having to rescue Padmé in Scipio, and isn't all that surprised when he sees Padmé pregnant with Anakin's children.
Story-Breaker Power: Word of God confirms that this is why Yoda only has two episodes where he takes action in The Clone Wars. Being likely the most skilled Jedi of the time, the only one capable of threatening him would be Sidious, who canon dictates Yoda can never meet, and no one else can really do enough harm for him to have to handle things himself. The one time he is shown fighting, he utterly annihilates an entire troop of droids by himself and completely outmatches Asaji Ventress, who is a threat even to some of the best Jedi who fights her, the victory being a Foregone Conclusion, and the second time he acts, he delves into the mysticism of the Force in order to find a way to contact his friend Qui-Gon Jinn and then discover a way to transcend death and while he does get a fight scene against Sidious, it's more of an illusion conjured by Sidious, though he still ends up triumphing over Sidious at the end of the day.
Super-Speed: He's so fast and agile that Palpatine, who himself is so deceptively agile that he can butcher three Jedi Masters in seconds before two of them can even fight back, can barely keep up with him in a lightsaber duel.
Supporting Leader: During the Battle of Geonosis in Attack of the Clones and the Battle of Kashyyyk in Revenge of the Sith.
This Cannot Be!: Yoda uttered this phrase when Qui-Gon contacted him and proved his existence beyond the grave by telekinetically levitating Yoda and everything moveable in Yoda's quarters.
Throwing Your Sword Always Works: Since all Jedi are telekinetic thanks to the Force, this lets him throw his lightsaber into the chest of a clone trooper in Revenge of the Sith. He then proceeds to leap onto the dying man's shoulders, pull the lightsaber out as he collapses, and jump toward several other clones to julienne them.
Totem Pole Trench: In the comic book Yoda #7, he disguises himself for a covert meeting with a Republic spy by standing on top of his Jedi starfighter's astromech droid and wearing a hooded cloak that covers both of them.
Weak, but Skilled: Not usually, as there's no other Force user in his time that makes him look weak, but especially when compared to Darth Sidious. While the Sith uses a strategy of fending Yoda off by sheer, overpowering Force power, Yoda outmatches him in swordplay and mobility, and tries to engage him in those. Somewhat subverted at the end, as Yoda manages to pull somewhat of a Force stalemate with him in their Beam-O-War.
The Wonka: The clone troopers under his command can't figure out what he says half the time; one of them even admitted that "there's no figuring a Jedi Master", but they follow his lead because they know there's a method to his madness. They're right.
World's Best Warrior: Yoda is easily considered the best Jedi warrior of his time, with even other Jedi who rank among the greatest of the day like Mace Windu, Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi admitting Yoda as being better than themselves. He is the Grandmaster of the Jedi Order and the leader of the Jedi High Council for a reason, after all. He's trained thousands of Jedi, and more than dozens of them became formidable warriors in part due to him.
World's Strongest Man: Yoda's reputation as the galaxy's strongest Jedi precedes him, making him Shrouded in Myth to anyone who doesn't personally know him. His knowledge and mastery of the Force was supreme, his skills as a lightsaber duellist were practically unrivalled among his peers with a handful coming close, and his extremely long lifespan gave him wisdom and experience beyond anyone else. Only Darth Sidious, Yoda's exact equal and opposite in the Dark Side, could match him blow for blow, and even then he tried to avoid the fight to begin with, retreated from a direct saber-duel to try and exploit his overwhelming power in the Force, and cut and ran when he got an opportunity.
Worthy Opponent: Despite Dooku's turn to the Dark Side, he still considers his former apprentice as this and Dooku makes it clear that he also considers Yoda this. During their lightsaber duel in Attack of the Clones, he commends Dooku for putting up a great fight despite being outmatched, showing that he also views his former apprentice as this.
Younger Mentor, Older Disciple:
- One issue of Marvel's Star Wars comic sees Yoda take tutelage from a young boy in the art of Stonepower, an esoteric Force ability that even Yoda was unaware of. As it turns out, Yoda is as good a student as he is a mentor.
- He learned to become a Force Ghost through Qui-Gon Jinn, who was the old apprentice of his former Padawan Dooku and is 816 years younger than him.

Original Trilogy Era

Master Yoda

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/yoda_sw.png

"Try not. Do, or do not. There is no try."

"For my ally is the Force, and a powerful ally it is. Life creates it, makes it grow. Its energy surrounds us and binds us. Luminous beings are we, not this crude matter. You must feel the Force around you; here, between you, me, the tree, the rock, everywhere, yes. Even between the land and the ship."

For over 800 years, Yoda mentored others in the ways of the Force and had a hand in the training of many Jedi during their time as younglings. Now he awaits one final student in exile on the planet Dagobah, ruminating on the fall of both the Jedi Order and the Republic which it served, while occasionally guiding other wayward souls put into his path by the Force.

Actually, I Am Him: When Luke is looking for Yoda in The Empire Strikes Back, he appears to him as a mischievous swamp creature who claims to know Yoda, then proceeds to waste Luke's time in looking for him in order to test his patience.
Adventure Rebuff: Yoda initially declines Obi-Wan's insistence that Luke be trained as a Jedi, claiming that Luke was too old to begin Jedi training. His story in From a Certain Point of View reveals that he never wanted to train Luke in the first place, and he wanted to train Leia instead, believing her brother Luke was too much like his fallen father Anakin.
Art-Shifted Sequel: Of many returning characters from The Clone Wars, Yoda looked the most distinctively different in Rebels. And not in a way that pleased the fans, as his appearance was so unusually divorced from any depiction that many people speculate it is due to Rebels' lack of production financing or the series' animation team being unable to get his standard looks right.
Ascend to a Higher Plane of Existence: His body vanishes upon dying, which means that he has become one with the Force.
Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass: Despite his senile behavior in his initial encounter with Luke in The Empire Strikes Back, Yoda soon reveals himself as an incredibly wise and powerful Jedi.
Died Happily Ever After: He spends the last few decades of his life alone on a backwater swamp planet called Dagobah, but is reunited with his friends as a Force spirit after passing away.
Elderly Immortal: He's 900, although he does look like it.
Yoda: [indignantly] When nine hundred years you reach, look as good you will not, hmm?
The Exile: Just like Obi-Wan (who exiled himself to Tatooine), he hides from The Empire on the swamp planet of Dagobah.
Exposition of Immortality: More like Exposition of Longevity, as he is not immortal and does finally die of old age. Yoda already looks like he's seen his fair share of years; walking stick, not much hair, crotchety old man. And clearly, he's been around for a while if he was the Jedi Master who trained Obi-Wan Kenobi, himself no spring chicken by A New Hope. Nevertheless, a sense of his true age is held back until he turns around and says:
Yoda: What know you of ready? For eight hundred years have I trained Jedi. My own counsel will I keep on who is to be trained.
Face Death with Dignity: "Luminous beings are we, not this crude matter!" He makes good on this statement during his final moments, where he cheerfully admits that he's old and his time is up.
Fading Away: In Return of the Jedi, this is how he dies. Having grown increasingly weak in his old age and knowing that he is dying, he calls Luke to his home to impart some dramatic Final Words, closes his eyes, and vanishes.
Genocide Survivor: Following the Jedi purge during the Clone Wars, he becomes a hermit on Dagobah.
A Good Way to Die: He dies peacefully in bed, with his final apprentice by his side.
Greater-Scope Paragon: Yoda becomes this during the Original Trilogy, being a very old, very wise, and very powerful Jedi Master, who nevertheless serves only to train Luke to go on to fight Darth Vader and the Emperor. The Prequel Trilogy and The Clone Wars made attempts to address why this is the case.
Hermit Guru: In the Original Trilogy, he lives in the swamps of the remote planet Dagobah where he trains Luke.
Iconic Sequel Character: In terms of production, Yoda didn't show up until The Empire Strikes Back, and he is easily one of the most famous and recognizable characters in the franchise and one of the Series Mascots.
Last of His Kind: He is the last known Jedi before Luke comes to him to complete his training. In a more literal sense, while it is never stated he is the last of his race or anything, there are only two other examples of his species (Yaddle and Grogu) depicted in canonical materials. Grogu, at the very least, is treated by everyone In-Universe as something they've never seen before, so the species is probably rare, hidden from the rest of the galaxy, or possibly near-extinct based on that.
A Lesson in Defeat: Yoda sends Luke into the cave to experience the Dark Side of the Force. When he thinks he kills Vader, the mask explodes and reveals Luke's own face, showing that he could give into the Dark Side himself.
- In The Last Jedi, he reiterates the lesson even more bluntly, telling Luke that failure is life's greatest teacher and that dwelling on it never does any good.
Life Will Kill You: He passes away of natural causes at the ripe old age of 900.
Living Legend: In the Original Trilogy, everyone refers to Yoda as if he were the one invincible, unmatchable Jedi. However, although he was the most famous Jedi in the galaxy and his death was never confirmed, not twenty years later there's not a single record of what Yoda looked like for Luke to consult. Justified, because the Empire has been systematically destroying records about the Jedi.
Manipulative Bastard: "Bastard" may be a bit harsh, but alongside Obi-Wan, Yoda deliberately concealed Luke's relationship to Vader, knowing that the truth would compromise Luke's mission to destroy the Sith. The bit in his dramatic Final Words where he said that after his death Luke would be the last Jedi turns out to be complete and utter BS since Ahsoka Tano was still out there (Although we didn’t know it in 1983 since her character hadn’t been written yet, and she may have been assumed dead after confronting Vader on Malachor and ending up in the World Between Worlds for an unspecified length of time) and Quinlan Vos to name another. Luckily for everyone, Yoda misjudged the situation entirely — Luke's unconditional love for his father is what ultimately saves the day.
Mentor in Sour Armor: Sometimes dips into this when he's frustrated with Luke. It can be partly blamed on years of bitter isolation, but also due to Luke's failure to listen to his advice.
Mentor Occupational Hazard: Yoda passes away in Return of the Jedi, although it's due to old age rather than being murdered.
No Body Left Behind: His body disappears when he dies, leaving behind an empty bed.
Obfuscating Stupidity: He pretends to be a wacky old hermit in The Empire Strikes Back as a test of Luke's patience and tolerance of strangers. Fail miserably, Luke does.
Older and Wiser: Yoda has acquired tremendous wisdom through his centuries-old life. It proves useful to shake Luke out of the doubts he had with the Jedi and the Force in The Last Jedi.
O.O.C. Is Serious Business: Any time he speaks a grammatically correct sentence, presumably for extra clarity.
Yoda: Fear is the path to the Dark Side: fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, hate leads to suffering.
Peaceful in Death: He dies of old age and becomes one with the Force after completing his life's purpose. How many Star Wars characters can say that?
Rebuilt Pedestal: While he doesn't say anything, it's clear that Yoda no longer sees Anakin as "iredeemable" by the end of "Return of the Jedi", appearing besides him with Obi-Wan to oversee Luke and his friends.
Right for the Wrong Reasons: He corrects Obi-Wan's claim that Luke was their last hope by vaguely affirming that There Is Another. He later clarifies to Luke that he meant there was another Skywalker out there, which turns out to be Leia. However, Yoda probably never anticipated that the last hope of the Skywalker clan was none other than Anakin Skywalker, who conquers the Dark Side in order to protect his son, thus saving the galaxy from Palpatine.
Shrouded in Myth: Mainly thanks to the Empire suppressing all records of the Jedi's existence, Yoda has become this by the Original Trilogy, with Luke only knowing of him through Obi-Wan as a legendary warrior. Suffice to say, he doesn't expect this legendary warrior to be a short green elf with a speech impediment.
So Proud of You: Just before dying, Yoda proudly acknowledges that Luke is truly worthy of carrying the torch of the Jedi. Considering that Yoda was once Luke's fiercest critic, it shows how far they both came from their prickly first encounter in the swamp.
- Later, as fellow Force Ghosts, he and Obi-Wan smile at Anakin, followed with all three looking at Luke in an approving manner.
There Is Another: Says the Trope Namer in both of his Original Trilogy appearances, referring to "another Skywalker" that turns out to be Luke's sister, Princess Leia.
Training from Hell: Back when he ran the Jedi Order, he trained his youngling apprentices with cotton wool gloves, a stark contrast to the surprisingly harsh and brutal training regimen he subjects Luke to in Empire. Initially skeptical of Luke's worthiness, Yoda gives him grueling physical challenges to overcome, puts him through a Psychological Torment Zone to make him face his fears, and regularly scrutinises Luke's flaws and failings. Given how badly he was burnt before, and how dangerous both Vader and the Emperor are, you can see his reasoning.

Sequel Trilogy Era

Yoda

"Time, it is... for you to look past a pile of old books."

"The greatest teacher, failure is. Luke… we are what they grow beyond. That is the true burden of all masters."

After his passing, Yoda visited Luke and Leia a handful of times as a Force ghost to pass along more knowledge to the Skywalker twins. After the collapse of Luke's reborn Jedi Order upon Ben Solo's fall to the dark side, Yoda continued to watch over his final student and helped guide Rey down the Jedi path.

The Cameo: Yoda (as voiced by Frank Oz) is heard in The Force Awakens during Rey's Force vision and seen on Ahch-to alongside Luke in The Last Jedi.
Exact Words: After Luke fails to destroy the Jedi texts, Yoda does it himself, deriding them as "Page turners they were not". However, he also says that Rey already has everything she needs... because she already stole all the texts.
Friendly Ghost: As a Force ghost, he continues offering helpful and wise advice to Luke and later Leia and Rey.
Not So Above It All: Upon reappearing before an elder Luke Skywalker in Last Jedi, Yoda watches his former student threaten, but ultimately hold back on burning a tree that (supposedly) houses the Sacred Texts within. He then calls upon the power of a lightning bolt to destroy the tree himself, gleefully giggling and noting how much he's missed Luke.
Posthumous Character: He appears as a Force spirit in the last shot of Return of the Jedi and again in The Last Jedi.
Shock and Awe: In The Last Jedi, he strikes a tree with a bolt. Albeit, unlike the Sith force lightning, it was summoned from the sky in a Bolt of Divine Retribution way, though it could be because he was a force spirit at that point.
Spirit Advisor: Since he became one with the Force after his death, Yoda can continue to offer guidance and assurance to Luke as a spirit, most notably in The Last Jedi.
Yoda: Skywalker, still looking to the horizon. Never here, now, hmm? The need in front of your nose.
Luke: I was weak. Unwise.
Yoda: Lost Ben Solo you did. Lose Rey we must not.
Luke: I can't be what she needs me to be.
Yoda: Heeded my words not, did you? Pass on what you have learned. Strength. Mastery. But weakness, folly, failure also. Yes, failure most of all. The greatest teacher, failure is. Luke, we are what they grow beyond. That is the true burden of all masters.
Surpassed the Teacher: During his conversation with Luke Skywalker on Ahch-To during The Last Jedi, he claims that the goal of all mentors should be to cause this trope in their students.
You Are Not Alone: In The Rise of Skywalker, Yoda's voice tells Rey that not only is she not alone, but she's never been alone, as the Jedi are with her.

Mace Windu

Master Mace Windu

"This party's over!"

Species: Human

Homeworld: Haruun Kal

Portrayed by: Samuel L. Jackson (films, The Clone Wars^note)

Voiced by: Terrence C. Carson (The Clone Wars^note, Tales of the Jedi)^{Foreign VAs}

"You must realize there aren't enough Jedi to protect the Republic. We're keepers of the peace, not soldiers."

Mace Windu was a Jedi Master and member of the Jedi High Council during the last years of the Galactic Republic. During his time in the Jedi Order, he wielded a purple lightsaber and once served as the elected leader of the Jedi and, during the Clone Wars, as a Jedi General in the Grand Army of the Republic. He was the greatest champion of the Jedi Order (second only to Yoda) and promoted its ancient traditions amidst the growing influence of the Dark Side of the Force in the corrupt, declining days of the Republic.

The Ace: He is the most powerful Jedi alive besides Yoda, late-Clone Wars Anakin, and possibly Obi-Wan Kenobi.
Ace Custom: His Jedi starfighter is partially white with a few red and green markings.
Action Dad: He is a father figure to fellow High Councillor Depa Billaba and certainly a fierce warrior.
Adaptational Badass: Downplayed. Mace Windu was still undoubtedly the strongest of the Jedi besides Yoda in Legends, but in that continuity he was more or less on par with Dooku (if not slightly inferior, seeing as Dooku was an Invincible Villain to anyone not named Yoda, Sidious, Talzin and eventually Anakin Skywalker) and had some difficulty facing people like Ventress, Grievous and Kar Vastor. He was also primarily able to contend with Sidious due to Vaapad and circumstance (to say nothing of endless debates about how much he needed it or if he genuinely won the fight). In Canon, Vaapad isn't known to give this amp, so he contended on his own merits. Somewhat Zig-zagged though, as he gets into far fewer fights with Dooku's goons (who themselves would get stomped by Sidious), but loses the fight he has with Maul while also having help from Aayla Secura). That itself is downplayed though by the fact that, like Windu, Maul actually can hold his own against Sidious in a fight restricted to lightsabers.
Adaptational Nice Guy: Downplayed. Mace was a well-meaning but somewhat cold man in both Legends and in Canon, but in Legends Mace Windu was a Blood Knight who loved battle and the thrill of it, and he used Vaapad to use his inner darkness as a weapon of the light without falling to it (though to his credit, he's the only Jedi to not fall to the dark side using it). In canon, while this is slightly implied, it's not a major point, and by all indication, Windu hates combat and his increasingly poor attitude is because of the deaths the war has caused.
All for Nothing: Everything Mace did was to protect the Jedi and the Republic. Ultimately however he fails to save either. Shortly after he is killed, Darth Sidious destroys the Jedi and turns the Republic into the tyrannical Galactic Empire which would dominate the Galaxy for more then two decades. What's more it was Mace's own actions that gave Sidious the justification he needed to get rid of the Jedi who were the only ones who could have stopped the Empire from being created.
Ambiguous Innocence: Episode three of Tales of the Jedi reveals the sordid and muddy circumstances under which Mace became a member of the Jedi Council. He and Dooku took part in a mission to Raxus where Dooku broke protocol and engaged in an unauthorized investigation. At the time, Dooku had been hoping to get a recently opened seat on the Council in order to enact reforms for the Order which he felt was losing its way. While Dooku's rule-bending worked out okay — solving the murder of a fellow Jedi and exposing a criminal conspiracy — Mace ratted him out to the Council… after which, Dooku just happened to be passed over for the Council seat and Mace just happened to be granted the seat. Dooku immediately and understandably suspected the whole thing of being a politically-motivated power-grab (as Mace had been vocally opposed to Dooku's rulebending and proposed reforms), while Mace insisted that he was simply following protocol by answering truthfully in debriefing and was just as surprised as Dooku when he got elected, which is likely the truth, given Windu's ususally straightfoward, by-the-law personallity. We never learn which is true, but the incident drives a permanent wedge between Dooku and Mace and plays a pivotal role in Dooku's fall to Sithism.
The Apprentice: In his youth, he was the Padawan learner of Mirialan Jedi Master Cyslin Myr.
An Arm and a Leg: Anakin slices off Mace's right arm right before Palpatine kills him.
Attack! Attack! Attack!: He created and utilizes Form VII, Vaapad. Vaapad is about channeling one's inner darkness to gain power, stamina, etc. This usually translates into Mace's lightsaber moving so fast that it's a blur.
Attack Reflector: During the climax of their duel, Mace used his lightsaber to reflect Darth Sidious' own lightning at him, which melted and scarred the Chancellor's face beyond recognition.
Author Appeal: Samuel L. Jackson requested a purple lightsaber in Attack of the Clones because it's his favorite color (and it would make him easier to spot in large battle scenes). Prior materials showed Windu's lightsaber as blue.
Back for the Finale: His voice can be heard advising Rey during the climax of The Rise of Skywalker.
Back-to-Back Badasses: During the First Battle of Geonosis, he and Obi-Wan cover each other's backs blocking and deflecting blaster fire from the Separatist Droid Army.
Bad Powers, Good People: Juyo and Vaapad requires Mace to control and channel his inner darkness into a ferocious power in combat. That said, Mace is ultimately a good person despite his severe character flaws and he's one of the only people to not fall to the Dark Side with his lightsaber form.
Bald Head of Toughness: Mace doesn't have a single strand of hair on his head and is one of the strongest and most skilled swordsmen in the Jedi Order.
Bald of Authority: Mace was the leader of the Jedi Council (while Yoda was the Grand Master of the Jedi Order) until he stepped down to concentrate on kicking ass during the Clone Wars.
Big Good: He serves as this alongside Yoda in the Prequel Trilogy.
Big "NO!": Yells this when he realizes that Jango Fett's helmet that Anakin picked up is rigged to blow.
Bling-Bling-BANG!: His lightsaber hilt is studded with electrum, an alloy of gold and silver, as part of his privileges as a high-ranking Jedi Master.
Blood Knight: His Vaapad fighting style weaponizes it, using his own inner darkness and that of his foe to increase his power.
Broken Pedestal:
- Mace still respected and trusted Count Dooku to a degree after he left the Jedi Order, even defending him when Padmé suggests he was behind her attempted assassination. He is not pleased when he learns that Dooku really was behind it all along, holding a lightsaber to his throat just before the First Battle of Geonosis begins.
- As the Clone Wars drew to an end, his admiration for Palpatine diminished. And then Anakin revealed that Palpatine was Darth Sidious, the Sith Master that had orchestrated the entire conflict.
By-the-Book Cop: Tales of the Jedi shows him acting as the straight-laced stickler for protocol to contrast Dooku's more unorthodox Cowboy Cop.
The Cameo: Makes a flashback appearance in Shadow of the Sith, when Ochi is hunting Depa Billaba, having assumed Mace isn't around. Turns out Ochi was wrong on that score, as just he's about to take the shot a very unhappy Mace springs up at him.
The Comically Serious: When Mace has to team up with Jar Jar Binks in "The Disappeared", his serious demeanor is present to offset Jar Jar's wackiness.
Cool Sword: Mace has a purple lightsaber, which stands out amongst the blue and green lightsabers all the other Jedi tend to have.
Character Death: He gets electrocuted and flung to his death by Darth Sidious.
Clones Are People, Too: While not as pronounced as with other Jedi (owing to his stoic nature), this trait of Mace is probably most evident in "Liberty on Ryloth" where he goes out of his way to make sure not a single clone trooper dies, even saving an unconscious clone trooper when being fired upon. Also, Mace laments over Ponds' execution in "Lethal Trackdown".
Create Your Own Villain:
- Boba witnessing him decapitate his father Jango Fett on the first Battle of Geonosis leads to Boba attempting to assassinate him on the Endurance and becoming a bounty hunter who takes jobs from amoral people such as Darth Vader and Jabba the Hutt as an adult. Mace's harsh attitude regarding this did no favors at all.
Cynical Mentor: Mace is quite cynical in his view of galactic affairs compared to many of the other Jedi, such as Obi-Wan Kenobi. He also doesn't like Anakin that much and opposed his training from the start.
Dangerous Forbidden Technique: Mace is very particular about whom he teaches Vaapad to as most who have tried have fallen to the Dark Side. Form VII as a whole is like that, which is why it's much more prevalent among the Sith. Vaapad is powerful, but also difficult to master, since it places the user at risk of falling to the Dark Side. While not directly of the Dark Side in nature, Vaapad is often described as walking in the Dark Side's penumbra or as skirting the very edge of the Light Side, to the point that it's often seen more used by Sith than Jedi. It takes incredible willpower and skill to master Vaapad, so much so in fact that in Legends, most people whom Windu taught Vaapad ended up falling to the Dark Side because of it.
Dark Is Not Evil: Surprisingly, considering the franchise he's a part of. His main fighting style, Vaapad, allows him to weaponize his inner darkness and his opponent's fury and bloodlust by channeling it through himself, then converting it into his attacks, sort of like a conductor loop. It's especially apparent when you know how dangerous Vaapad is and how it works.
Deadpan Snarker: Mace is occasionally shown to have a very dry and sardonic sense of humor.
Ahsoka: Guard duty?! For how long?
Mace: Longer now.
Death by Irony: The guy who often preached about foresight and patience died because of pure impulsiveness.
Death Glare: He gives the mother of all these to Palpatine during a blade lock in their duel. He also directs a shocked one to Anakin right before Sidious blasts him away.
Destination Defenestration: In Revenge of the Sith, he goes out spectacularly after being blasted out a window by Darth Sidious' Force lightning.
Didn't See That Coming: As much as his relationship with Anakin had been shaky at best, he never saw Anakin choosing to side with Palpatine (if stemming from momentary impulsiveness), the shock and anger on his face shows it best.
Dislikes the New Guy: More than any other Jedi, he disapproves of Anakin Skywalker joining the Jedi Order. In Revenge of the Sith, Anakin reveals Palpatine is a Sith Lord and Windu starts to reconsider his opinion. That is, until Anakin ultimately ends up helping Palpatine kill him.
Disney Villain Death: Although he's not a villain, he gets thrown out of Palpatine's office to his death and the impact is never seen. Possibly subverted; he might have already been dead from Palpatine's Force Lightning attack by the time he's flung into the air, not to mention that Samuel L. Jackson still claims that Mace is alive, but whether or not this pans out has yet to be seen.
Dramatic Irony: "I am going to end this, once and for all!" Ultimately, all Windu did was give Palpatine the excuse he needed to end the Jedi Order and the Republic.
Dual Wielding: Briefly employs this in Jedi of the Republic when Rissa Mano tosses him her lightsaber so he can take down a harvester droid.
Dull Surprise: This is Mace Windu's reaction to Anakin telling him that Palpatine is a Sith Lord, owing to his stoic nature.
Fatal Flaw: He has three:
- Impulsiveness. It bites him both in Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith: in the former, he leads a rushed, uncoordinated attack on Geonosis which gets many Jedi killed and the rest of them cornered until Yoda's timely rescue; in the latter, upon hearing that Palpatine is a Sith lord, he goes immediately to arrest him without taking preventive measures, launching an alarm, or merely telling anybody in the Jedi Order, with the fatidic consequence that the information effectively dies with him at Sidious' hands and condemns the entire order.
- Coldness. While Mace is a good person at heart, his Jerkass tendencies often emotionally hurt other people and push them away from him, which he never seems to realize or take responsibility for. Most notably, his cold treatment of Anakin and Ahsoka is part of the reason the former betrays him, and why the latter leaves the Jedi Order and refuses to share vital information with them.
- Fear: Despite his stoic attitude, Mace actually feared the Dark Side quite significantly, something shared by many other Jedi. This led to some of his more extreme views, which Palpatine manipulated effortlessly.
A Father to His Men: Mace cares deeply about the clone troopers, regarding them as individuals instead of the expendable soldiers they were intended to be, and goes out of his way to help and rescue them when they're in danger during the Ryloth Arc.
Genius Bruiser: He's not only one of the best lightsaber wielders of all time, he's also rather intelligent and perceptive, which only bolsters how dangerous he is.
Godzilla Threshold: The revelation that Chancellor Palpatine is a Sith Lord leaves Mace Windu so shocked that he decides that the Jedi must directly confront Palpatine in force. Unfortunately for him, this is exactly what Palpatine wants since it gives him permission to attack and destroy the Jedi Order as well as get Anakin on his side fully.
Good Is Not Nice: Zigzagged. Mace is generally respectful to those he deems worthy of respect (which tends to be anyone who isn't trying to cause destruction, acting reckless, or disregarding the rules), but he has his moments of being rather cold and indifferent to the emotional plights of other people.
Good Is Not Soft: Mace is a virtually unstoppable force in combat and willing to break the Jedi Code if he feels it will serve the greater good.
Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow: As a youngling and later a Padawan, Mace had a head of hair. As a Jedi Master, he's shaved it all off.
Heroes Prefer Swords: Mace uses a purple-bladed lightsaber.
Heroic Willpower: He has to have this, in addition to being a great Jedi, Mace's fighting style of Vaapad made it extremely easy for force wielders to fall to the Dark Side due to the way it works. In fact, he's one of the few Jedi to use it and not succumb to the Dark Side.
Hero with Bad Publicity:
- Not long after his death, he is framed by Palpatine and Anakin as a traitor who tried to assassinate The Good Chancellor as part of the Jedi's plot to take over, when in fact he was trying to save the galaxy from the tyranny of the Sith.
  Anakin: The Jedi have tried to overthrow the Republic.
  Padmé: I can't believe that!
  Anakin: I saw Master Windu attempt to assassinate the Chancellor myself.
- In Lost Stars, the Imperial history lessons that Ciena and Thane study paint him as a criminal who led a gang to start the Clone Wars.
Hope Spot: After Anakin confesses his findings of Palpatine being a Sith Lord, Mace thanks the Jedi Knight and tells him that he will finally earn his trust when the confrontation is over. Unfortunately, that never happens.
Horrible Judge of Character:
- In regards to Dooku. When Padmé states her belief that he was behind the attempt on her life, Mace says that Dooku would never try to assassinate anyone due to his sense of honor. We hate to break it to you, Mace, but...
- Zig-Zagged in regards to Anakin. Mace is wary of Anakin from the start and straight-up tells Yoda and Obi-Wan he doesn't trust him. While Anakin is prone to making impulsive decisions and does actually end up betraying the Jedi Order, this is significantly because of Mace and most of the other Council members never trusting or supporting him, inadvertently pushing him away into Palpatine's influence.
Hypocrite: Has some minor and a few major examples:
- One of the reasons Mace distrusts Anakin so much is because he's impulsive, but Mace himself has made impulsive decisions that only end up making things worse, with his badly thought-out attacks on Dooku in Attack of the Clones and Palpatine in Revenge of the Sith in particular causing a lot of trouble for the Galaxy at large.
- Mace distrusts and faults Anakin for letting his emotions control him, but in Jedi of the Republic he sympathizes with and supports Prosset Dibs for doing the exact same thing.
- Mace claims that Dooku is incapable of assassinating anyone because he was once a Jedi, but ironically in Dark Disciple Mace is the one who comes up with the plan to assassinate Dooku, and attempts to kill Palpatine due to believing that subjecting him to the rule of law would be pointless with how much power he has.
I Did What I Had to Do: This is how Windu sees Jango's death, and about expelling Ahsoka. Needless to say, the narrative disagrees with Mace's attitude itself.
Improperly Paranoid: Zigzagged. While his weariness about Anakin did have some merit, it ultimately proved to be a Self-Fulfilling Prophecy. In fact, had the Jedi Order truly acknowledged Anakin as one of their own and done more to help in his time of need, the young Jedi likely wouldn't have succumbed to the Dark Side and the damage done by Order 66 might not have been as irreparable.
"It" Is Dehumanizing: In The Clone Wars, Windu refers to R2 like this in order to emphasize that he doesn't think much of droids and believes that Anakin encourages them too much. He softens his stance when R2 manages to return to Coruscant and get help when Mace and Anakin got trapped under the rubble of a destroyed ship.
Jerkass Has a Point:
- Zigzagged in regards to his treatment of Anakin. Somewhat doubles with Hypocrite Has a Point.
  - Mace wasn't entirely wrong to distrust Anakin. As noted by Obi-Wan, Anakin is flawed, having committed acts such as: massacring a tribe of Sand People for revenge, frequently disobeying direct orders, worsening situations due to his impulsiveness, and throwing a tantrum when denied the rank of Jedi Master. Long story short, Anakin did need to grow up as an individual.
  - His treatment of Anakin ultimately deconstructs this. Just because a Jerkass Has a Point doesn't mean He is Right. Although Mace's arguments were valid, he still shirked his duties as Anakin's superior, merely using the latter as a simple asset. Worse, unlike Qui-Gon, Obi-Wan, Plo Koon, and Yoda, Mace also largely ignored Anakin's positive traits, even after Anakin had proven to be a worthy Jedi several times over. In fact, it's Mace's stated lack of trust that indirectly makes Anakin easy prey to Darth Sidious' manipulations.
- In The Clone Wars, Anakin questions why he doesn't go after Boba Fett and arrest him, citing the young boy caused a lot of destruction to kill Mace. The older Jedi responds that he is in a war, and as such, going after Boba would be pointless.
- His shutdown of Ahsoka's inquiries while calling her "citizen" was uncalled for, but he has a point that the Council's business does not need to be shared with her given the lack of evidence they had, and the fact neither Ahsoka nor the Council would benefit from sharing the information, and the fact the former Jedi would still have little influence and information at her disposal.
- Regarding his argument with Anakin whether to execute a captured Darth Sidious in Revenge of the Sith, it becomes Both Sides Have a Point.
  - On Anakin's side, his arguments strongly stem from personal reasons. However, he isn't wrong to point out that Mace's actions were not the Jedi way. Moreover, such an act would cause immense problems for the Jedi Order, since even with Sidious' vile actions, they are still essentially taking the law into their own hands against the supreme chancellor himself.
  - On Mace's side, his eagerness to kill Sidious definitely isn't unfounded, since Sidious has so much power and influence that he could very well get himself off, or escape to continue the war. Also, politics and public opinion aside, it's plainly clear that something needs to be done about Sidious.
  - In all, one can argue that had Anakin and Mace discussed the matter with the other Jedi Council members first, they might have been able to do something about the Sith Order and failing Republic.
Jerkass Realization: He curbs his dismissiveness of droids when Anakin's droid R2-D2 manages to save him and Anakin by traveling to the Jedi Temple all by himself and getting help to rescue them.
Jerkass to One: While he isn't exactly warm and open, he displays a special amount of vitriol and distrust towards Anakin. This is a major factor in driving Anakin to the dark side.
Jerk with a Heart of Gold: His cynicism, pragmatism, and stoicism make Mace come off as a cold, uncaring jerk. Combined with his severe trust issues, most of the Jedi and other characters he interacts with have a difficult relationship with him, some even regarding him as the ultimate symbol of how the Jedi have lost their way by the time of the Prequel Trilogy. However, Mace does care deeply for all life, is shown risking his own life multiple times to save soldiers under his command, advocates for saving the Zillo Beast from destruction, and his increasingly poor attitude during the Clone Wars is largely due to the heavy death toll the war has taken on the Jedi Order and civilians. Even though his attempt to reason with Boba after his arrest was rather tactless (and did nothing helpful in the long run), the guidebook Scum and Villainy reveals that the Republic Judiciary probably would have done worse to Boba than jail time (as rogue clones don't normally get a right to due process) had Mace not tried to negotiate for a lighter sentence. Heck, he even tries to get battle droids to surrender, offering them a chance to be reprogrammed for a more productive use than as machines of war. It doesn't work, but the fact he tried at all speaks volumes, as he is notably the only Jedi seen yet to offer such mercy to battle droids.
Kick the Dog:
- Instead of trying to reason with Boba about the circumstances of his father's death (that the latter was a natural casualty of war for attacking Republic forces, working with the leader of the Separatists, and the fact that Jango had tried to murder him first), Windu effectively tells the boy to deal with the fact that he wasn't able to complete his revenge and move on. Naturally, this had the opposite effect and by the time of the Original Trilogy, Boba is one of the most feared bounty hunters in the galaxy and a frequent associate of Darth Vader.
- Instead of giving a proper apology to Ahsoka due to her being thrown under the bus, he claims it was actually "her Great Trial." She's far from impressed and leaves the Order not long after.
- When Anakin starts showing signs of frustration upon being on the Council but not given the rank of Master, Mace simply (and very coldly) orders him to sit down, not even bothering to explain the reason for their decision. Had Mace done so, it could have taught Anakin a lesson in humility.
Knight in Sour Armor: Mace is far more cynical than Yoda to the point where he was distinctly unwilling to trust either Anakin or the Senate's legal system in Revenge of the Sith.
Knight Templar: Somewhat downplayed as Mace lacks the self-righteousness of many of the other Jedi, but he believes in unquestionably upholding the peace of the Republic, even if it means breaking the Jedi Code. Palpatine ends up playing this against him, making him appear to be a lawless assassin trying to kill a helpless old man.
Laser Blade: He wields a purple-bladed lightsaber, and it stands out amongst the blue-bladed and green-bladed lightsabers all the other prequel era Jedi have.
Man of Kryptonite: Vaapad works by taking an enemy's dark side power and bloodlust, channeling it through Mace, and allowing him to turn it back against them. This makes him this trope to Dark Side users, as he's effectively able to turn their own power back against them. This is one major reason he was able to defeat Darth Sidious (George Lucas stated in the Revenge of the Sith commentary that Mace did win the fight), one of the very few capable of doing so.
Master Swordsman: According to Word of God, he was Yoda's superior as a lightsaber duelist. According to other sources, he's second to Yoda and tied with Dooku. He also perfected Vaapad, a long incomplete and dangerous lightsaber fighting form.
Mirror Character: For all his disagreements and distrust of Anakin, besides the whole "attachments" thing, his similarities with Anakin are far more noticeable than their differences. Both are extremely powerful force-users that primarily focused on their abilities as swordsmen over their force abilities, both have a habit of being incredibly impulsive which ultimately ends up biting them in the ass, both are flawed, but well meaning men who are more than willing to break the Jedi Code if they feel it will serve a greater good, both ended up serving as the enforcer of an order of force users, second only to its leader, both faced Palpatine as their final opponent, and both ultimately perished at Palpatine's hand after losing a hand to a lightsaber strike. Their deaths also preceded an End of an Era (the Republic and Jedi Order, and The Empire respectively), if significantly different in context.
My Greatest Failure: Mace came to see his actions during the First Battle of Geonosis as this afterwards. He regretted that he had not seized the opportunity to kill Dooku when he had the chance, preventing him from ending the Separatist threat then and there.
Never My Fault: After Ahsoka is framed for bombing the Jedi Temple hangar, Mace leads the Council in voting to excommunicate her from the Jedi Order. When she's subsequently revealed to be innocent, he still doesn't actually apologize to her for the Council's mistreatment of her, instead saying that the tribulations she's faced were the Force's way of testing her worthiness to become a Jedi Knight. Ahsoka is clearly unimpressed and this likely contributed to her deciding to leave the Order.
Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Mace has several moments in the saga that lead to the downfall of the Jedi Order and the Republic.
- He refuses to emotionally support Anakin or treat him with any respect from just meeting the boy onward, considering him too old, impulsive, reckless, and emotionally attached. Mace is not completely wrong, but his short-sighted actions embitter Anakin and make him more susceptible to Palpatine's manipulations.
- Not that Boba's assassination attempts did any favors, but considering how he was still just a child at the time, Mace could have followed the Jedi way and showed more compassion in their conversation. Instead, Mace did the opposite, contributing to Boba's future career as one of the most dangerous bounty hunters in the entire galaxy.
- When Ahsoka is framed for bombing the Jedi Temple, he is quick to agree to throw her under the bus to save face, with everyone (sans Yoda, Plo Koon, and Obi-Wan) voting for her expulsion. When Barriss Offee is revealed as the true culprit, Mace doesn't apologize and instead claims that this was Ahsoka's "Great Trial". Not only does this cause her to leave the Order soon after, it deprives Anakin of his Morality Pet, ensuring his fall to the Dark Side occurs faster.
- After Ahsoka informs the Council of Maul's capture, he continues to dismiss her regarding matters involving the Chancellor. This causes her to refuse to share any details about Sidious and what he might be doing to Anakin—and dooming the galaxy at large.
- In their duel, Palpatine manipulates Mace's impulsiveness to coerce Anakin into joining the Dark Side. Likewise, Mace makes a grand, slow, and dramatic move to kill Palpatine rather than a swift action while his lightsaber is literally inches from his face, giving Anakin the opportunity to intervene, which directly leads to his death and indirectly the deaths of countless innocents.
No-Nonsense Nemesis: Mace doesn't bother with fancy moves or drawing out fights, he aims to disarm and kill his opponent as fast and efficiently as possible. Except when it matters most...
Not So Above It All:
- Crossing over with Actor Allusion, Mace has the phrase "Bad Motherfucker" inscribed on his lightsaber.
- He's claimed to have destroyed hundreds of thousands of battle droids, given Mace is not one to brag or exaggerate, that means he's been keeping count of his kills.
Not So Stoic: After keeping his emotions in check throughout the Prequel Trilogy, Mace lets his anger get the better of him during his fight with Palpatine, which leads to his own downfall.
Number Two: To Yoda in the Jedi Order.
Oblivious to Their Own Description: Windu says that Katri would've listened if Larik's guards had come to her for help. Dooku has a negative expression on his face hearing this, since after putting up with both the Council's refusal to investigate Katri's death, and Windu's By-the-Book Cop approach all episode, he is finding little reason to believe this would be true.
One-Man Army: Mace is on par with Yoda in his ability to devastate Separatist infantry singlehandedly, as seen during his systematic devastation of the droid forces he encounters in "Liberty on Ryloth". By the seventh season of The Clone Wars, he claims to have single-handedly destroyed over 100,000 battle droids.
Parental Substitute: To Depa Billaba, his former Padawan learner. He rescued her from the pirates who had killed her parents as an infant, being the one to take her to the Temple. He then became her Master when she was old enough to be apprenticed and they became very close, even saving her from Ochi on Malathon IX.
Pet the Dog:
- He saves Anakin from getting blown up by a bomb Boba planted on Jango's helmet and later asks him if he's alright after the two get trapped under the rubble after the explosion.
- After making it clear to Anakin that he doesn't think highly of droids, he softens his stance on them when Anakin's astromech droid R2-D2 manages to call for help and save them from being trapped under the aforementioned rubble and genuinely thanks and praises the astromech afterwards.
- He offers an army of battle droids a chance to surrender, but is rejected. He's notably the only Jedi that has ever tried to reason with battle droids.
- When Anakin tells Mace that Palpatine is a Sith Lord, he doesn't argue the point despite this being a rather stunning revelation. Instead, Mace tells Anakin that he'll finally earn his trust from this report, which Mace meant as a sign of respect. Too bad it came across as Condescending Compassion.
- Mace's voice is one among many that Rey hears to get the encouragement that she needs to face Palpatine one last time, and he's heard being far more supportive than he ever was in the Prequel Trilogy. Not to mention that he's not shown being hostile towards Anakin and Ahsoka, in spite of prior bad blood between them.
Poor Communication Kills: A large part of why Mace distrusts Anakin is because of how heavily he lets his emotions dictate his actions, and because of how close he is to Palpatine, whom Mace feels is grabbing at too much power. However, he never tells Anakin either of these things, even when the Council asks him to spy on the Senator, which only ends up making the relationship between the two strained. Similarly, he doesn't explain that Anakin being far too emotional about not getting the rank of Master is what prevents him from getting the rank of Master.
Pragmatic Hero: Although he is still bound by the Jedi Code, Mace is more than willing to advocate more simple and direct approaches to ending the Clone Wars and stopping the Sith. He advocates sending a Jedi to assassinate (instead of capture) Count Dooku after he destroys a refugee convoy and tries to kill Palpatine despite having him at his mercy because he knows he is too dangerous to keep alive.
Properly Paranoid:
- At one point, Mace Windu expresses concern that Anakin can't handle the mission of spying on Palpatine. He's absolutely right, but it doesn't do him any good in the long run.
- He suspects Palpatine won't give up his power willingly, even though the Clone Wars are coming to an end, he's completely right.
Psychic Powers: He has these just like many of the other Jedi.
Purple Is Powerful: He's one of the most powerful Jedi to ever live and his lightsaber's blade is purple.
Reasonable Authority Figure: He is very sound in judgment and willing to listen to Anakin, even when he doesn't trust him. Unfortunately, his reason gives out in the worst possible moments.
Red Oni, Blue Oni:
- The blue to Count Dooku's red in Tales of the Jedi. While Windu sticks to the rules and steadfastly follows them in missions, Dooku is much more confrontational and contravenes the rules and tries to launch his own investigation of the dead Jedi Council member whose cadaver they were assigned to retrieve.
- He is also the blue to Anakin's red when the two are paired on missions together, with Anakin also being a Cowboy Cop albeit more reckless and impetuous.
- On the flip side, he's the red to Yoda's blue. While Mace is stoic, he's also far more impulsive than Yoda, more dogmatic and dismissive, and a bit more close-minded, whereas Yoda is more broad-minded and willing to at least entertain the possibility Qui-Gon returned and is generally more diplomatic with his words.
Rule of Cool: This trope is the main reason why Mace Windu has a purple lightsaber — because Samuel L. Jackson thought it looked cool. Also so that he would be visible in a huge lightsaber battle.
Sacrificial Lion: He is the first major Jedi to be killed in Revenge of the Sith, which sets the stage for the Jedi assassinations that were to follow due to the execution of Order 66.
Scary Black Man: His implacable nature and fierce disposition are such that in the Ryloth campaign, Dooku orders Wat Tambor and his army to retreat rather than face Windu. He's also able to scare off a Frangawl cultist just by looking at him after taking out the rest of his allies.
Shatterpoint Tap: His unique ability is being able to see the shatterpoints of things in the Force. He has only been seen using it once to break the windshield of a broken-down Republic walker and rescue an unconscious clone trooper.
Shoot the Dog: He views killing Palpatine instead of arresting him as this, given that the Sith Lord was too dangerous to keep alive and that he could manipulate the senate at a trial. Anakin disagreed.
The Stoic: He is a very calm and collected Jedi and rarely lets any emotion show openly on his face. He has only been seen smiling a few times during the Clone Wars, and the only time he seems upset is after learning Palpatine is actually Darth Sidious.
Supporting Leader: He was this during the Jedi assault on the arena of Geonosis in Attack of the Clones.
A Tragedy of Impulsiveness: Mace Windu and the other three Jedi masters rush off to confront Palpatine in the middle of the night, in his private office in the empty Senate building with no witnesses and no one around to help them. So, when things go south and Palpatine/Sidious is more powerful than they expected, the four Jedi die and Palpatine can frame them as assassins trying to murder him and seize power for themselves.
The Unapologetic: After Anakin manages to prove Ahsoka's innocence in the Jedi Temple bombing, Mace refuses to apologize to her, insisting that this trial was the Force's way of determining if she was worthy of being a Jedi Knight. Ahsoka isn't impressed by this and this factored into her leaving the Jedi Order instead.
Underestimating Badassery: Mace severely underestimated the level of skill that would be needed to take down Palpatine, as two of the masters die near instantly, and Kit Fisto dies soon after. While he was enough to match Palpatine, the others were clearly outclassed in every way. In fairness, Kit Fisto was the only Jedi in the Clone Wars other than Obi-Wan to have the upper hand against Grievous in a lightsaber duel, and in Canon at least, this means he is the strongest Jedi Windu had available besides himself and Anakin as far as we know, and Windu himself was roughly equal to Dooku. Yoda, perhaps believing it to be a Sith trick, also may not have talked about his duel with Palpatine in "Sacrifice". Mace had no way to know how much stronger Sidious would be than Dooku or Maul, and took the best he had. It was just not enough.
Unwitting Pawn: Mace dies in an attempt first to arrest and then just kill Chancellor Palpatine, which is not only unsuccessful, but also provides Palpatine with ammunition for his claims that the Jedi attacked first. In a double irony, he also ends up making The Chosen One (Anakin), whom he himself had doubts about already, switch his allegiance to the man he attempted to "assassinate".
Vindicated by History: An In-Universe example. Mace is a controversial figure, with his Jerk with a Heart of Gold tendencies putting a lot of people off, even other Jedi who know him well. As it turns out, he was right about most of his suspicions; mainly that Jedi and the Republic were being undermined from within. Jedi Master Luke Skywalker would spend a decade searching for lost knowledge, including much on the Clone Wars, and would learn about Windu, gaining a huge amount of respect for him, concluding that for all his faults, he was an embodiment of the good within the Jedi Order, and was almost able to prevent the Emperor's rise to power, and all that followed, if not for various circumstances.
Well-Intentioned Extremist: Mace arguably becomes one over the course of the Clone Wars. His goal is a very noble one; to end the war and save the Republic and the Jedi from oppression and/destruction, but he becomes increasingly willing to do morally questionable things, such as death faking, secret-keeping, assassination, and even execution, in the name of the greater good.
We Used to Be Friends: He and Count Dooku were once close friends, even if they disagreed politically. The mission to Raxus and the Council subsequently snubbing Dooku by giving Mace a seat ended up permanently fracturing their relationship, with Dooku forever suspecting that Mace had purposefully undercut him while Mace was angered by the accusations and disturbed by Dooku's disregard for rules and increasingly outspoken Separatist sympathies. But even after Dooku left the Jedi Order, Mace still believed that he was a good man and would defend him regularly, while Dooku still harbored some sentimentality for him despite everything. The events on Geonosis destroy what little affection they have left for one another.
What Measure Is a Non-Human?:
- He evidently treated the clone troopers with respect, going out of his way to save as many as he could during his missions, as well as being sullen at their deaths.
- He is perhaps the only Jedi to ever extend this notion to the battle droids, despite admittedly killing hundreds of thousands of them, Mace in Season 7 offers the latest batch a chance to stand down and end things peacefully. No one's surprise, they just open fire on him and Obi-Wan.
- He wants the Zillo Beast to live, and is regretful by the fact it ultimately has to be put down because of how it endangers others.
World's Best Warrior: He is likely the single greatest fighter in the Jedi Order at the time of his death, having cornered and subdued Darth Sidious when three other members of the Jedi Council were cut down in seconds. His only real peers at the time were Yoda (whom Windu may or may not be superior to according to conflicting sources), Sidious (who Windu narrowly bested, ambiguity aside), Talzin, Maul, Obi-Wan, Dooku, and Anakin (who's the Chosen One).
Worthy Opponent: Dooku genuinely compliments him for fighting valiantly during the first Battle of Geonosis, even telling him that his efforts are worthy of recognition in the archives of the Jedi Order and offering him and the other Jedi he fought alongside with a fair chance to surrender.

Ki-Adi-Mundi

Master Ki-Adi-Mundi

"There is no such thing as luck."

Species: Cerean

Homeworld: Cerea

Portrayed by: Silas Carson (films, The Clone Wars^note)

Voiced by: Brian George

"Impossible! The Sith have been extinct for a millennium!"

Ki-Adi-Mundi was a Cerean Jedi Master and a leading member of the Jedi High Council during the last years of the Galactic Republic. By the time of the Clone Wars, Mundi became a Jedi General of the Grand Army of the Republic. Like his Jedi colleagues, he led the Republic clone troopers against the Separatist Alliance forces in several battles across the galaxy, including the first and second Battles of Geonosis and the Outer Rim Sieges. During the final year of the Clone Wars, Mundi oversaw the Republic invasion of Mygeeto with the Galactic Marines under his command. During the campaign, Supreme Chancellor Sheev Palpatine instructed the Grand Army soldiers to execute their Jedi leaders per Order 66, an act that resulted in the death of Mundi along with the majority of the Jedi Order.

Adaptational Nice Guy: He is less of a Grumpy Old Man in canon than he was in Legends. It is said that unlike most Jedi, the clones didn't really feel too bad about turning on Mundi, since he was never very respectful toward them. He also took the Jedi's idea of emotional detachment further than most, coming off as both arrogant and outright uncaring in many situations. In Canon, he seems more like the other Council members while still being a bit of an overly serious grump.
Adaptational Backstory Change: In Legends, Ki-Adi-Mundi was a rare example of a Jedi who was married and with children, as his species' low birth rate and scarcity of males gained him an exemption from the Jedi rule about relationships.^note Nothing of this is mentioned in canon, where he's presumably a regular celibate Jedi.
Adaptational Wimp: Downplayed. In Legends, Ki-Adi was talked about in the same sentence as his master Yoda in regards to his Form III lightsaber expertise, and although he was not a powerhouse as some of his fellow Masters, he was an excellent battlefield survivor, with piloting skills, knowledge of Force healing and a neat Improv Fu. In canon, Ki-Adi is not implied to be anything but an average Jedi Master, albeit one surprisingly competent for his age and looks (which is still mostly Played for Laughs).
Age Lift: In Legends, Ki-Adi-Mundi was far younger than he appeared, though no exact age was given, as Cereans were a notably short-lived species, becoming adults at around age ten, and being considered ancient by their mid-sixties. However, there is no mention of Cereans aging any differently in Canon, meaning he could really be as old as he looked.
Agent Scully: He has a history of this. He was extremely skeptical of Qui-Gon Jinn's assertion that the Sith had returned and dismissed Padmé Amidala's claim that Count Dooku was behind the assassination attempt against her. He was also the most vocal in denying the possibility of Yoda's claim about making contact with the dead Qui-Gon, insisting it is impossible to maintain ones identity in the Force after death.
Ascended Extra: Becomes a recurring character in The Clone Wars after being featured in the Prequel Trilogy as a peripheral member of the Jedi Council with small screen time and few lines.
Bizarre Taste in Food: During the Jedi Council's visit to Kwenn, Mundi utterly confuses a food cart vendor who sells flavored shaved by ordering just a cup of ice with no flavoring added and insists that ice is itself a flavor. The dumbfounded vendor notes they don't even have a price for that, and when Mundi admits to Yareal Poof a few days later that that was the only food he got on the mission and that he greatly enjoyed it, his fellow councilor is similarly flabbergasted.
Body-Count Competition: After the Second Battle of Geonosis, he manages to outscore Anakin and Ahsoka. He takes note of their competition and offhandedly asks what he's won. When Anakin replies that Ki-Adi won his respect, Obi-Wan half-jokingly remarks that it's quite a prize indeed.
Cavalry Betrayal: His clone troopers turned on him while he lead a charge against the droid army on Mygeeto.
Character Death: He gets killed by his own clone troopers on Mygeeto after the execution of Order 66.
Cool Old Guy: When he hears Anakin denying to acknowledge Ahsoka's victory in the Body-Count Competition mentioned above, Mundi tells Anakin that he out-scored both of them.
Dressing as the Enemy: In order to infiltrate the Staved Skulls during the Council's mission on Kwenn, Mundi gets fake spikes running up his head put on by a local theater makeup artist. They do a good job making him look like a member of the gang until he step into a freezer, with the sudden change in temperature affecting the glue holding the spikes on and making several fall out, exposing him.
Horrible Judge of Character: Before the Clone Wars, he refused to believe that Count Dooku was capable of falling to the Dark Side and ordering a political assassination. It could be somewhat justified in the fact that judging by his age, he had to have known Dooku for decades before the latter left the Jedi Order, so it might just be denial that his old friend had become such a monster. It also has to be said that this applies to all of the Jedi Order. No one could believe a Jedi who was the greatest hero in the Order for decades could become evil.
Ki-Adi-Mundi: He is a political idealist, not a murderer.
Ignored Epiphany: Following the Jedi Council's mission to Kwenn, Mundi completely misses the ultimate point of the trip and remains convinced that the Council's current way of doing business is working. Yarael Poof is deeply upset by this, noting that it should be clear to all of them that the Council's isolation from the people they serve and listening to senate recommendations is clearly hurting both the Jedi Order and citizens, but Mundi remains steadfast in his beliefs.
Kill It with Fire: During the Second Battle of Geonosis, he ordered his clone troopers to use flamethrowers against the Geonosians.
Laser Blade: He wields a blue-bladed lightsaber.
Mauve Shirt: In the Prequel Trilogy, he is the only member of the Jedi Council besides Yoda, Windu, Obi-Wan, or Anakin to have any lines.
My Brain Is Big: He's a Cerean, a species with very large, elongated cranium that holds a binary brain.
Non-Uniform Uniform: His signature outfit is notably different than most Jedi robes seen in the films and The Clone Wars, making it look like he actually goes around in streetwear (which is what Jedi robes are supposed to resemble but rarely do, in fairness).
Not So Above It All: Mundi has a reputation for being quite serious and rarely cracking a smile, but on occasion he shows a bit of playfulness that reveals a lighter side to him.
- While he is quite exasperated by fellow Council member Yarael Poof's antics, Mundi often gives snark right back to him and even smiles at some of his jokes and pranks.
- Anakin and Ahsoka hold a juvenile Body-Count Competition during the Second Battle of Geonosis. After the battle, Ahsoka asks for Anakin's total and it turned out she won. Anakin, however, claims that since he had called in the airstrike, it should add enough to his tally to make it a draw. Hearing this, the old, stern Mundi intervenes and adds his own total, which is larger than either Ahsoka's or Anakin's, causing both Anakin and Obi-Wan to fall into Stunned Silence for a moment as he casually asks what he won.
Anakin: My everlasting respect, Master Mundi.
Ki-Adi-Mundi: [sounding almost disappointed] Oh.
Obi-Wan: [reassuringly] That is a gift Anakin rarely bestows, I assure you.
Oh, Crap!: During Order 66, he leads a column of clones in Mygeeto, but upon realizing they have stopped following him, he turns to them... and sees them with their weapons trained on him. The trope is right on his face, even although he manages to parry a few shots before going down.
Properly Paranoid:
- He is among the Jedi who advise against training Anakin, who would eventually chase them all to extinction. He is also wary of the voices that Master Yoda hears.
- He was the only member of the Jedi Council to loudly admit that Dooku was not the Big Bad as they believed but The Dragon instead, and that someone even more powerful was lurking in the shadows.
- While he was wrong to suspect the Sith were behind the voices Yoda had been hearing, he correctly guessed that the Master-Apprentice link between Yoda and Dooku could be exploited by the Sith, which is indeed what Sidious and Dooku end up doing.
Psychic Powers: Expected from a Jedi. His mental powers are formidable, as not only was he able to recognize young Anakin's fear, but also his main concern, namely, his mother.
Right for the Wrong Reasons: His aforementioned suspicions about the Master-Apprentice link between Yoda and Dooku being an avenue for Sith manipulation are correct. However, he was wrong about the Sith being behind the voices Yoda was hearing.
Rubber-Forehead Alien: He's a Cerean, basically a human with a tall head.
Snow Means Death: Mundi is killed while he and his clone troopers are fighting a battle in the middle of a snowstorm on Mygeeto.
Straight Man and Wise Guy: In The Living Force this is his dynamic with Yarael Poof, falling into the Straight Man role while dealing with Poof's fondness for pranks and trolling him.
Wizard Beard: Has a short if notable version, and is a space wizard to boot.

Portrayed by: Alan Ruscoe (The Phantom Menace, Attack of the Clones), Matt Sloan (Attack of the Clones, Revenge of the Sith)

Voiced by: James Arnold Taylor

"When you ask for trouble, you should not be surprised when it finds you."

Plo Koon was a Kel Dor Jedi Master and member of the Jedi Council. He was regarded as one of the wisest Jedi in the Order. He had a close bond and served as a parental figure for Ahsoka Tano, whom he found and brought into the Order as a child.

Ace Custom: He flies a Jedi starfighter with a white and blue color scheme which is named the Blade of Dorin.
Ace Pilot: He was shown to be a pilot with skills rivaling Anakin's, who admired Plo's piloting ability as a young Padawan.
Adaptational Nice Guy: A Downplayed Trope. Plo wasn't unnecessarily stern or unkind in Legends by any means, but it wasn't a particularly noteworthy trait of his either. In canon, on the other hand, Plo Koon wouldn't be a bad choice when asking who is the kindest jedi alive.
Adaptational Wimp: In Legends, Plo was a Force virtuoso and a renowned master of telekinesis (in addition to being a user of a rare Light Sided Force lightning technique called Electric Judgement), an expert in elemental and nature techniques, an adept of Baran Do secret sciences, and one of the best swordsbeings in the order (to the point that he had a sparring victory over Yoda in his racket, which neither Mace Windu nor Count Dooku ever achieved), and it was all but stated he was the third strongest jedi at the start of the Clone Wars (surpassed by Mace Windu and Yoda, and later on Anakin and possibly Obi-Wan Kenobi), and Maul considered him a Worthy Opponent despite being a massive Arrogant Kung-Fu Guy. The fact that he is killed while in a starfighter underlines that he would have probably put a hell of a fight had he been able to employ his abilities with freedom, at least if not caught completely off guard like several other Order 66 casualties were. Lastly, he managed to defeat Durge with help from Kit Fisto, was winning against Savage Opress before he got distracted, and beat Asajj Ventress with a broken arm. In canon, however, Plo is just an average Jedi Master in the Council, with some admirable yet generic traits, such as being a skilled pilot, Force-user, and lightsaber-wielder.
- That said, much like Shaak Ti (who is also subject to this trope), this is more from of a lack of feats rather than any outright weakness. Given the above, the only characters who could outright defeat Plo on neutral ground would be Sidious, Dooku, and maybe Maul, but he never gets into a single lightsaber duel in Canon. He could be just as good in canon, but nothing is established.
Ascended Extra: He was one of the peripheral Jedi that were featured in the Prequel Trilogy with small screen time and zero lines. In The Clone Wars, he got a fleshed-out and expanded role and the most screen time of all Council members except the Big Two of Mace and Yoda, because...
Author Appeal: He is Dave Filoni's favorite character.
Badass Long Robe: He dons an exceptionally badass one in "Lethal Trackdown".
Bizarre Alien Biology: Apparently, Kel Dor like Koon can survive in space for a short time with only their breathing masks protecting them.
Character Death: He is killed following the execution of Order 66 when his starfighter is shot down on Cato Neimoidia by his clone trooper wingmates.
Creepy Good: His squishy alien physiognomy and vaguely evil-looking mask make him look pretty sinister for a good guy.
Cool Mask: He wears a breathing mask that looks cool.
Dark Is Not Evil: He constantly wears a black face mask that's pretty close to Vader's in terms of intimidation, but he's in fact one of the kindest Jedi around, wearing the mask only because any climate outside his homeworld is lethal to him.
Deadpan Snarker: He's got his moments, particularly in "Lethal Trackdown" when it comes to Ahsoka's lack of subtlety.
Death by Irony: He dies being shot down by Clone Troopers on Cato Nemodia, soldiers he treated with kindness throughout the whole war.
Explosive Decompression: Averted and lampshaded. Before leaving an escape pod, he orders his men to put on their helmets and follow him. He didn't need any protection because he can survive in space long enough to deal with a few battle droids.
Extremophile Lifeforms: Oxygen is toxic to Kel Dor like Plo, who instead breathe a mixture of a Dorin-unique gas and helium. As a result, his species require respirator masks and goggles when away from Dorin.
A Father to His Men: Of all the Jedi generals, he is one of the closest to his men. When he and three of his clone troopers are trapped in a non-functional escape pod in "Rising Malevolence", the clones are very pessimistic about their chances to survive, but Plo keeps their hope alive by continuously reasserting that their lives aren't meaningless. His Wolfpack even fly dropships with "Plo's Bros" Nose Art, and he in turn wears the Wolfpack wolf emblem on his gauntlets.
Plo: Sergeant, why are you so certain no one is coming?
Sergeant Sinker: We're just clones, sir. We're meant to be expendable.
Plo: Not to me.
The Gadfly: When Plo, Adi Gallia, and Commander Wolffe catch up with 3PO and R2 aboard Grievous' flagship in "Nomad Droids", this ensues:
C-3PO: Yes, Commander Wolffe. How have you been, sir? We have been on quite an adventure.
Plo: Well, I'm certain Wolffe would love to hear about it.
Wolffe: Uh, a-actually, sir...
Good Counterpart: To Darth Vader, to an extent, being more than willing to use force, wearing a mask, utilizing a strength based fighting style, and being severely weakened should his respiratory equipment be damaged.
Gratuitous Foreign Language: "Ko-toh-ya" is a Kel'dor greeting that he and Ahsoka use towards each other.
Humanoid Aliens: Kel Dor have the general body structure of a human, but their facial structure is so different and they have only four fingers.
I Am the Noun: Somewhat overlaps with Badass Boast.
Boba Fett: I want justice.
Plo Koon: We are justice.
Laser Blade: He wields a blue-bladed lightsaber.
Nerves of Steel: Even in the most dire of circumstances, Plo tends to remain extremely calm and collected and not panic.
Nice Guy: He's one of the most compassionate, respectful, and reasonable Jedi around. He greatly values and is protective of the lives of the Clone Troopers under his command, is one of the few Council members who is actually fair to Anakin and is understanding of his issues, and one of the few willing to cast doubt on Ahsoka being the culprit behind the Jedi Temple bombing and vote against her expulsion.
Not So Similar: He serves as a foil to Anakin via their relationships with Ahsoka. He is often used (most blatantly in "Padawan Lost" and during the Fugitive arc) to provide contrast between normal Jedi friendship and Anakin's struggles with Dark Side levels of attachment and obsession. Plo is not always in the right, but even his mistakes are consistently in the direction of a Jedi's mistakes rather than torturing prisoners for information.
Old Master: Somewhat downplayed, but he is the older mentor figure for Ahsoka. He actually shares this role for her with Obi-Wan himself. Plo has also trained at least one apprentice, Bultar Swan, to Knighthood.
Only Sane Man: One of the few Council members who isn't dogmatic or complacent and actually treats Anakin with the respect and empathy he needs and deserves.
Out of Focus: After getting a significant amount of screentime in some of the early episodes, he fades more and more into the background as The Clone Wars goes on.
Parental Substitute: He was the Jedi who found Ahsoka and brought her to the Temple. They maintained a strong bond with each other that mirrors a father and daughter, and he even affectionately calls her "Little 'Soka".
Red Is Heroic: His robes and boots are red and he's a heroic and compassionate Jedi.
Reasonable Authority Figure: Of the senior members of the Jedi Council who aren't Yoda, Plo is this. He lacks Mace's distrust and strict adherence to the rules, knowing when to let things slide like Ahsoka putting herself on the rescue team to the Citadel, and also does not have Ki-Adi-Mundi's intense skepticism and is willing to consider explanations that fall outside established beliefs and expectations.
The Stoic: Most of the time, unless the situation gets very serious. If he ever does smile, it's hidden by his mask. This is best shown in "Lethal Trackdown", where he doesn't lose his cool when he has a gun pointed at the back of his head.
To Be Lawful or Good: Type two. According to Dave Filoni, Plo was one of the three Council members that sided with Ahsoka in the Council's discussions and voting during the Fugitive arc. He also looks visibly saddened by the whole mess more than once and voices protest on-screen. However, the Jedi serve the Senate and must put duty over their personal feelings, so he participates in her arrest and (initially temporary but ultimately permanent) removal from the Order anyway.
Too Good for This Sinful Earth: Combined with Being Good Sucks. Plo Koon remains kind and courteous to both the Clones and Ahsoka during the entirety of the Clone Wars. He never gets a chance to make it up to Ahsoka after she leaves the Order, and is killed by the clones he showed empathy to.

Depa Billaba

Master Depa Billaba

"Caleb, we cannot win this battle… you must run. Go. I'll be right behind you."

Species: Human

Homeworld: Chalacta

Portrayed by: Dipika O'Neill Joti

"You must not grow too attached, too fond, too in love with life as it is now. Those emotions are valuable and should not be suppressed, but you must learn to rule them, Padawan, lest they rule you."

A Jedi Master from Chalacta who served on the Jedi Council during the crisis on Naboo and before the Clone Wars. She was the former Padawan of fellow Jedi Council member Mace Windu. Near the end of the Clone Wars, she took Caleb Dume as her apprentice, but was killed during Order 66 before she could complete his training.

Adaptational Heroism: In Legends, she eventually fell to the Dark Side. In canon, she never had a stint with the Dark Side and performed a Heroic Sacrifice instead.
Adaptational Species Change: In Legends, Chalactans were a Human Alien species with negligible differences from humans. The canon has retconned the species into simply being a human culture from Chalacta.
Adaptational Wimp: In Legends, Depa was a master of many psychic abilities, with a mental conditioning and empathy that were second only to Yoda himself, and was such a good swordswoman that her master Windu of all people believed she had surpassed him at this field. In fact, although she didn't duel him in fair terms, she set a trap that surprised the ever-perceptive Windu and almost finished him. In canon, meanwhile Depa is known just as a lightsaber expert without any great feats.
Ascended Extra: She was a minor character in the Legends continuity, but in the new continuity she served as the mentor to one of the most important characters in Rebels and comparatively got a greater amount of focus in the comics.
Blatant Lies: During Order 66, she tells Caleb to run, saying she'll "be right behind [him]". Caleb later states he knew she was lying, but he ran anyway.
Braids of Action: She wears her hair in two looped braids.
Don't Call Me "Sir": She requests to not be called "General".
Dramatic Irony: When Caleb tells her how happy he is, she tells him not to grow too fond of his life as it is now, because the universe is always changing. Soon afterwards, Order 66 happens, she's killed and Caleb is essentially orphaned while the Republic turns into the Empire.
General Failure: Struggles with viewing herself as one after Grievous killed ninety percent of her men and put her in a coma during the Battle of Haruun Kal.
Heroic Sacrifice: She was killed during Order 66, holding off clone troopers to buy enough time for Caleb to escape. Afterwards, Caleb changed his name to Kanan Jarrus and went into hiding.
In the Back: She falls during Order 66 after being shot in the back by Commander Grey after becoming distracted by Captain Styles and his men going after Caleb.
Laser Blade: Wields a green-bladed lightsaber.
Lighter and Softer: Compared to her Legends counterpart. Depa disagrees with the rest of the Council about the Jedi's role in the war, but she doesn't fall to the Dark Side this time.
Master-Apprentice Chain: She makes up part of a chain of mentors and apprentices leading to Ezra Bridger. Mace Windu was master to Depa Billaba who was master to Caleb Dume/Kanan Jarrus who was master to Ezra Bridger.
Master Swordswoman: As to be expected of a Jedi Master on the Council, Depa is highly skilled with a lightsaber. She is particularly skilled with Form III (Soresu) which she teaches to students at the Jedi Temple and specifically to Caleb.
- In Legends, she was a master of Vaapad, and nearly defeated Mace Windu in combat.
Mentor Archetype: To Caleb/Kanan, and he reflects on her teachings from time to time even ten years after her death.
Mythology Gag: Her getting so injured she was in a coma for six months after the Battle of Haruun Kal is reminiscent of her Legends counterpart falling into a deep coma after a war on Haruun Kal in Shatterpoint.
Parental Abandonment: Her parents were killed by pirates who then took an infant Depa captive. Luckily, Mace rescued her and brought her to the Jedi Temple.
Parental Substitute: The fact that Caleb viewed her as a parent is quite evident given his thoughts on her even a decade after her death after he'd changed his name to Kanan and left the order behind.
People Jars: Depa spent quite a while in a coma in a bacta tank to recover from the injuries she received in the Battle of Haruun Kal. It is implied she woke due to the Force forging a connection between her and Caleb when he visited the infirmary for a wound received in practice and saw her.
Posthumous Character: By the time of Rebels, she's been dead for a decade but her training of Kanan back when he was still Caleb informs the way he trains Ezra and his guilt over leaving when she told him to run knowing she was going to die during Order 66 is obviously still painful to him, her death being shoved back into the forefront of his mind is the first time he starts breaking down under the Empire's torture.
Reluctant Warrior: She believes that the Jedi made a mistake in taking on military titles.
Sanity Slippage: There is some fear that she is this among the Jedi, with some calling her "damaged", after she lost most of her company to General Grievous and spent six months in a coma. Billaba herself seems to agree that "damaged" is a crass but accurate assessment.
Stone Wall: Her preferred lightsaber form is Form III: Soresu, a defensive type of lightsaber combat focused on defending against blaster fire and lightsaber duelists through blocks and parries until an opportunity can be presented from the opponent being wide-open or exhausted.
The Strategist: Despite her reputation and dislike of the council allowing itself to become a military organization Depa is quite good at military strategy and tactics, as shown during the skirmish on Kardoa where the only casualty to her forces was Caleb being injured due to not following orders to the letter.
There Is No Kill Like Overkill: After falling from the initial shot to her back following the execution of Order 66, several clone troopers gather around Depa and fire several more shots into her body to ensure that she is dead.

Saesee Tiin

Master Saesee Tiin

"Competence is not enough."

Species: Iktotchi

Homeworld: Iktotch

Portrayed by: Khan Bonfils (The Phantom Menace), Jesse Jensen (Attack of the Clones), Kenji Oates (Revenge of the Sith)

Voiced by: Dee Bradley Baker

"Wing commanders, form up. We're going in."

A highly skilled pilot who was highly reserved in his emotions, Saesee Tiin was in charge of overseeing the Jedi's fleet for the Council before serving as a Jedi General in the Clone Wars. He was slain by Darth Sidious when the Jedi confronted the Sith Lord, who was revealed to be the true identity of Supreme Chancellor Sheev Palpatine.

Ace Custom: He flies a green Jedi starfighter with white markings.
Ace Pilot: As shown in "Citadel Rescue", he's quite an accomplished pilot. Tiin's skill with flying and repairing ships is such that he is in charge of overseeing any maintenance and upgrades the Jedi's fleet receives.
Adaptation Dye-Job: Tiin's lightsaber has a blue blade instead of green in the tie-in graphic novels for Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith.
Adaptational Intelligence: A very minor example. In Legends, at least in the novel, when confronting Palpatine, he gives Palpatine the benefit of the doubt during his fake freakout, tries to read Palpatine's mind despite knowing he's a Sith Lord, that he's a few meters in front of him (and not behind say, Mace Windu or Kit Fisto still watching him), and closes his eyes while doing so. Too Dumb to Live doesn't even begin to describe this. Nothing of the sort happens, and with the canon much clearer, he was simply curbstomped by Sidious.
Ascended Extra: Downplayed, but The Clone Wars features him in an episode with lines after being a Red Shirt in the Prequel Trilogy.
Blood Knight: One of the few times on the mission to Kwenn when he shows anything but a stoic personality is during the Council's battle against the united pirate gangs. Tiin seems to enjoy the chance to let off some steam and actually requests that more pirates be sent to his location to fight, much to Plo Koon's amusement.
The Cameo: Mostly in Council meeting scenes.
Character Death: He gets slashed in the waist by Sidious.
The Comically Serious: Tiin is so serious and personally unfunny that his interactions with other Council members like Plo Koon can be quite hilarious due to his non-reactions to what happens around him.
Dark Is Not Evil: He bears a resemblance to a humanlike demon, but he's firmly a light-sided Jedi Master.
Dies Differently in Adaptation: In the novelization of Revenge of the Sith, he gets decapitated by Palpatine instead of being slashed in the waist.
Early-Bird Cameo: In The Clone Wars, he was amongst the four Council members waiting for the remains of Savage Opress' first victims to be brought back to the Temple, but had no speaking role until "Citadel Rescue".
Hates Small Talk: Plo Koon tries a few times to get him to just engage in casual conversation while they work together on Kwenn, but Tiin's work-focused demeanor puts a quick end to those attempts.
Horned Humanoid: It's one of the traits of his species.
Laser Blade: He wields a green-bladed lightsaber.
Mauve Shirt: He was the least developed out of the members of the Jedi Council who received a fleshed-out and expanded role in The Clone Wars.
No Sense of Humor: Tied in with his stoicism is his utter lack of a sense of humor. Tiin focuses on work all the time and has little tolerance for distractions.
Plo Koon: (covered in coolant from a spill) Do not laugh.
Tiin: Have I ever?
Plo Koon: I suppose not.
No Social Skills: He is not great at interacting with people, including his fellow Jedi. He much prefers being able to tackle tasks within the Jedi Temple that fall under his skillset, like upgrading their fleet of ships.
Not So Stoic: Even Tiin is startled and affected by the news that the Kwenn temple is being recommended for closure, recalling his own visit there when he was a Padawan.
Rubber-Forehead Alien: He's an Iktotchi, a species that has two horns hanging from fleshly tendrils on both sides of their temples.
The Stoic: He is the most emotionless and serious member of the Jedi Council, focusing so severely on his tasks that he strikes many outside the Order as rude. Even amongst his fellow Council members he has a reputation for being somewhat difficult to work with.
The Worf Effect: He was brought in with Mace to confront Palpatine because he is one of the most powerful Jedi in the Order, but he is killed within seconds of the lightsaber duel against Sidious beginning.
Workaholic: Tiin is extremely focused on his duties. The Jedi Council's trip to Kwenn, which was supposed to be their opportunity to reconnect with the Living Force, annoys him to no end as he sees them as above doing such trips and is constantly thinking about all the work he has left to do at the Jedi Temple. Plo Koon tries to get him to understand that he needs to make time for other things and that his blunt nature could be useful in advising people if he would just interact with them, but Tiin never seems to take this advice to heart and is the only member of the Council who is entirely unchanged by the trip.

Eeth Koth

Master Eeth Koth

Species: Zabrak (Iridonian)

Homeworld: Iridonia

Portrayed by: Hassani Shapi

Voiced by: Chris Edgerly

Eeth Koth was a Zabrak Jedi Master who was a member of the Jedi Council in addition to serving as one of the Jedi generals during the Clone Wars. At some point before the end of the Clone Wars and the execution of Order 66, he was removed from the Council and he left the Order before joining the Church of Ganthic Enlightenment as a priest.

Action Dad: Despite no longer being a Jedi, he's still a skilled fighter, taking on Darth Vader in an attempt to protect his newborn daughter.
Ain't Too Proud to Beg: When Vader comes for his family, he pleads with him that he's no longer affiliated with the Jedi and will even help him find other Jedi who survived the Purge if he will only leave his family alone. Vader is unmoved, prompting a lightsaber duel.
Always Save the Girl: At his most desperate, he's willing to sell out his former Jedi comrades to the Empire if it means protecting his wife Mira and their daughter.
Ascended Extra: Gets an episode featuring him as an important character in The Clone Wars after being featured a silent extra in the Prequel Trilogy.
Back for the Dead: After his previous appearance in The Clone Wars, Koth makes his return in Dark Lord of the Sith (which revealed that he was removed from the Council and left the Jedi Order before becoming a priest, leading him to be replaced by another Zabrak Jedi named Agen Kolar), only to be hunted down and killed by Darth Vader.
Badass in Distress: In "Grievous Intrigue", he gets captured by General Grievous. Although, he does put up a good fight against him and his MagnaGuards.
Badass Preacher: Following the rise of the Empire, he becomes a priest of the Church of Ganthic Enlightenment and proves he can still kick ass when it comes to defending his family, not that it does him much good in the end.
Character Death: Koth gets hunted down and killed by Vader sometime after the fall of the Jedi Order.
Character Development: Following the Jedi Purge, Darth Vader remarks that he no longer controls his emotions as much as when he was a Jedi, strongly sensing fear, resentment and anger from him. He also no longer holds much loyalty to the Jedi and their teachings, placing a much higher priority on his family.
Commonality Connection: He was one of the few members of the Jedi Council who supported Qui-Gon's petition to train Anakin Skywalker, as Koth himself started training late when he was brought to the Jedi Temple at the age of four.
Dies Differently in Adaptation: In early Legends material, Koth was killed at the Battle of Geonosis. This was overwritten when he showed up alive and well in The Clone Wars, and he died in canon after the rise of the Empire.
Electric Torture: He was subjected to it repeatedly while he was held captive by Grievous.
Facial Markings: As is typical for a member of his species.
Horned Humanoid: He is a Zabrak, after all.
Impaled with Extreme Prejudice: He dies as a result of being stabbed in the back by Darth Vader.
I Shall Taunt You: He takes the time to goad Grievous with some insults before their duel.
Grievous: Eeth Koth, isn't it? I've been looking forward to meeting you!
Koth: Your reputation precedes you, General. A reputation of a coward and a murderer...
Grievous: Murderer? Is it murder to rid the galaxy of you Jedi filth?!
Killed Mid-Sentence: Upon seeing the Inquistors have captured his daughter, he can only utter "Oh n..." before being fatally stabbed by Vader.
Laser Blade: He wields a green-bladed lightsaber.
Master Swordsman: He's of the few Jedi capable of beating Grievous in a duel and would have succeeded in killing him had it not been for Grievous' MagnaGuards stopping him. While he ultimately dies, he manages to put up a pretty good fight against Darth Vader before being overwhelmed.
Noodle Incident: The circumstances behind his removal from the Jedi Council and departure from the Jedi Order are unknown.
Rubber-Forehead Alien: He's a Zabrak, a species that has several cranial horns.
So Happy Together: His wife had just given birth to their daughter when Darth Vader comes knocking.

Adi Gallia

Master Adi Gallia

Species: Tholothian

Homeworld: Coruscant

Portrayed by: Gin Clarke

Voiced by: Angelique Perrin

Adi Gallia was a Tholothian Jedi Master and member of the Jedi Council who held a reputation as a skilled diplomat, political consultant, and intelligence gatherer. Her cousin, Stass Allie, was also a member of the Jedi Order.

Ace Custom: Her Jedi starfighter is painted red with white stripes.
Ace Pilot: She flies alongside Saesee Tiin and Kit Fisto in "Citadel Rescue".
Action Girl: She is a capable Jedi Master and was selected to assist Obi-Wan in hunting down Darth Maul and Savage Opress.
Ascended Extra: Gets something of an expanded role in The Clone Wars and Inquisitor: Rise of the Red Blade after being featured in the Prequel Trilogy as a peripheral member of the Jedi Council with small screen time and little to no lines.
Back-to-Back Badasses: With Anakin in "Grievous Intrigue".
Badass Bureaucrat: She may spend most of her career on the Jedi Council with a datapad in hand and holding meetings with senators, but as Yoda notes in The Living Force while watching her fight a group of pirates, Gallia's ability in combat seems almost effortless.
Badass in Distress: In "Nomad Droids", she was captured by General Grievous.
Beleaguered Bureaucrat: Her expertise in diplomacy and politics made it so that she and Yoda usually handled all meetings with Chancellors and other senators. Despite her skill at it, Gallia found herself increasingly bogged down by the meaningless political requests she had to field to the point where all her time as a Jedi was taken up by them. At the conclusion of The Living Force, Yoda promises to find ways to reduce her workload so that she can leave the Temple for actual Jedi missions more often.
The Cameo: She does appear a lot in the background for Jedi Council meeting scenes, but she either has only a few spoken lines or none at all.
Character Death: She is gored and fatally stabbed by Savage Opress during their duel on Florrum.
Curb Stomp Cushion: She was in the back foot the entire time during her duel with Savage and is ultimately killed by the Sith warrior; still she lasted much longer and gave him more trouble than any other Jedi who died fighting him beforehand and her attempt to incapacitate him wasn't in vain as it gave Obi-Wan an idea on how to defeat him when he has to fight Maul and Savage on his own.
Damsel out of Distress: She and her soldiers escaped from Grievous on their own before Plo Koon's rescue team reached her in "Nomad Droids".
Dies Differently in Adaptation: Both canon and Legends feature Gallia dying at the hands of a lightsaber-wielding opponent during the Clone Wars to (further) establish the danger a villain poses; however, her original Legends death was courtesy of General Grievous^note while canon sees her killed by Savage Opress.
Dropped a Bridge on Her: Her death during the lightsaber duel that she and Obi-Wan have against with Darth Maul and Savage Opress on Florrum is very sudden and brutal.
Impaled with Extreme Prejudice: Twice, courtesy of Savage Opress. Savage first impaled her with his horns and then delivered the finishing blow with his lightsaber.
Laser Blade: She wields a blue-bladed lightsaber.
Offscreen Moment of Awesome: Her aforementioned escape from Grievous' clutches.
Oh, Crap!: She hides her shock, but is briefly surprised when Iskat asks her if Josk was reporting on her for Mace Windu's evaluation, clearly not expecting the young Jedi Knight to know she was being monitored.
Rubber-Forehead Alien: Although she looks human, she is actually Tholothian, a near-human species with scaled craniums and head tendrils. In Legends works written before The Clone Wars, she and Stass Allie were stated to be humans wearing cultural headdresses; it wasn't until a Legends sourcebook for The Clone Wars that they were first identified as Tholothians, with them initially being presumed to be Human Aliens until canon works established that the "headdresses" are part of their heads.
Sacrificial Lion: Her death in "Revival" (the Season 5 premiere of The Clone Wars) demonstrates (outside of flashbacks) that Maul and Savage are very dangerous and Anyone Can Die.
Schrödinger's Canon: Siri Tachi is her Padawan.
What the Hell, Hero?: During the events of Inquisitor: Rise of the Red Blade, she, along with Yoda, reprimand Iskat Akaris, the future Thirteenth Sister of the Inquisitors, on her reckless actions on Thule, even stating that Josk Nivar knew there would be civilians present on the planet underneath the droid factory.

Even Piell

Master Even Piell

Species: Lannik

Homeworld: Lannik

Portrayed by: Michaela Cottrell

Voiced by: Blair Bess

Appearances: The Living Force | The Phantom Menace | Attack of the Clones | Brotherhood | The Clone Wars

"It takes more than they got to break me, young Skywalker."

Even Piell was a Lannik Jedi Master and member of the Jedi Council. He was a gruff and battle-hardened warrior who was entrusted with many important missions during the Clone Wars.

Adaptational Wimp: If only technically, as the Disney canon de-canonized all of his appearances in Legends except for the ones in The Clone Wars where he gets captured by the Separatists (and not by another Force sensitive like Ventress or Dooku, but by battle droids) and is killed trying to escape. Ironically, The Clone Wars claims Even Piell was one of the most powerful members of the Jedi Council, which only gets it all more incoherent. The canon novel Tarkin also has the title character thinking of Piell as a Dumb Muscle, though this might be just Tarkin being Tarkin.
Ascended Extra: Goes from being an extra in The Phantom Menace to getting a story arc featuring him in The Clone Wars.
Badass in Distress: He was captured by Separatists and imprisoned in the Citadel.
Death by Adaptation: In early Legends, he survived the Clone Wars and the initial execution of Order 66 before being killed during the early years of the Empire.^note In Canon, he was mauled to death by an anooba while escaping from the Citadel.
Death in the Limelight: He dies towards the end of the Citadel arc.
Determinator: Piell refused to share the intel on the Nexus route, even under heavy torture by Osi Sobeck.
Eye Scream: He lost an eye way before The Clone Wars. A torture droid almost gouged out the other one.
Face of a Thug: His facial scars and natural looks make Piell look fairly intimidating, particularly when combined with his accent. In reality he is one of most outwardly friendly and down-to-earth members of the Jedi Council who agrees with Qui-Gon on how separated the Order, and particularly the Council, is from the galaxy and people they serve.
Handicapped Badass: Missing an eye hasn't stopped him from being a powerful and formidable Jedi.
Husky Russkie: He speaks with a Russian accent. He's pretty small, but still pretty tough.
I'm Dying, Please Take My MacGuffin: With his last breath, he entrusted his half of the Nexus Route coordinates to Ahsoka.
Informed Ability: In his first episode in The Clone Wars, he is said to be one of the most powerful Jedi Council members, implying he is not far from the level of Yoda and Windu. However, he then proceeds to surrender to three droidekas, which less important Jedi had been shown outsmarting and defeating in the same series, so this claim definitely doesn't show too much.
Laser Blade: He wields a green-bladed lightsaber.
Pint-Sized Powerhouse: He's roughly twice Yoda's height, which means he reaches to about waist-level for most characters. That doesn't stop him from being as badass as anyone else four times his size.
Rubber-Forehead Alien: Lanniks look similar to humans. However, they are rather short and have long, pointy ears, giving them a vague resemblance to Yoda's species.
Teeth-Clenched Teamwork: During the Clone Wars he was paired with Wilhuff Tarkin as his naval officer. The two took an extreme dislike to one another, mostly due to Tarkin's negative opinion of the Jedi as warriors and Piell's disapproval of his ruthlessness.

Yaddle

Master Yaddle

"Even when we feel most alone, there is always something to save."

Species: Unknown (same as Yoda)

Homeworld: Unknown

Portrayed by: Phil Eason

Voiced by: Bryce Dallas Howard

Appearances: Cataclysm | Out of the Shadows | The Living Force | The Phantom Menace | Tales of the Jedi

"Your strengths can be your greatest weakness. When you do not practice what you do not know, it is like inhaling, and never letting your breath out."

Yaddle was a female Jedi Council member from the same species as Yoda. She served on the Jedi Council during the invasion of Naboo, but was no longer on the Council before the Clone Wars began.

Adaptation Dye-Job: In Legends, her lightsaber blade was orange. In canon, it's green like Yoda's.
Adaptation Personality Change: In Legends, Yaddle was a Badass Pacifist who favored the Force over lightsaber combat, acted as a surrogate grandmother to Padawans, and consecrated her life to the Order to the point of performing a selfless Heroic Sacrifice. In stark contrast, while little is known about her career in canon, it seems at some point she became uninterested in the galactic affairs and left the Council to follow Dooku, and found out about Palpatine, Maul's master and the Sith Lord the Jedi don't yet know about.
Ascended Extra: After being a background extra in The Phantom Menace before disappearing afterwards, she receives her first canon foreground role in Star Wars: Tales of the Jedi short "The Sith Lord", where she witnesses Count Dooku's downfall.
Back for the Dead: Tales of the Jedi features her biggest role in the entire franchise — and it's for a story where she dies.
Badass Teacher: During the High Republic Era, Yaddle's primary focus was training Jedi younglings and handling specials cases where young initiates needed extra attention or training due to having special talents or difficult personalities. And should anyone bring any harm to one of those students, Yaddle has little difficulty making them pay for it, as two members of the Path of the Open Hand learned in Cataclysm.
Beware the Nice Ones: In Cataclysm, after her trainee Cippa is stunned by two soldiers from the Path of the Open Hand, Yaddle is infuriated and decides to forego the stealth approach, walk calmly up to them, rip the blasters from their hands, and use the Force to lift them into the air, flip them upside down, and bang their heads together so hard it instantly renders them unconscious before roughly dropping them back to the ground.
Yaddle: That is what you get for shooting a child.
The Cameo: She makes a cameo appearance in Out of the Shadows, training Jedi younglings.
Character Death: Murdered by Count Dooku on Sidious’ orders to prove Dooku’s loyalty and conceal Sidious' plans.
Dies Differently in Adaptation: In Legends, she was killed while protecting Anakin on a mission in 26 BBY. In canon, she was killed by Dooku around the end of The Phantom Menace in 32 BBY, six years sooner than her Legends counterpart. In sources released prior to Tales of the Jedi, it was suggested she was subject to the opposite trope and simply retired from the Jedi Council (with Greez Dritus believing her to be an Order 66 survivor). Given the circumstances of her death, it's implied that it wasn't public knowledge.
Famed In-Story: Due to her several centuries of activity as a Jedi, Yaddle became a famous figure on some worlds. Greez Dritus mentions hearing many legendary stories about her growing up on Lateron while having no idea who Yoda is.
Final Boss: She's the final opponent Dooku faces in his story arc in Tales of the Jedi.
Hero Antagonist: She is the final antagonist of Dooku's story arc in Tales of the Jedi, opposing him during his final downfall to the Dark Side.
Honor Before Reason: She has a few opportunities to escape from Dooku, but she continues to try reasoning with him rather than escaping and warning the Council of Sidious' existence.
Laser Blade: Like Yoda, she wields a green-bladed shoto lightsaber due to her smaller size making a regular length blade difficult to wield.
Little Green Men: She belongs to the same unidentified species as Yoda.
Mentor Archetype: Just like in the Legends continuity, she has been established as the Master of fellow Jedi Council member Oppo Rancisis. Tales of the Jedi reveals Yaddle was also this to Dooku.
Nice Girl: She's very compassionate and forgiving, offering Dooku salvation in exchange for turning Sidious over to the Republic.
Only One Name: Like the other two known members of her species, Yaddle only has one name.
Pint-Sized Powerhouse: She give Dooku one hell of a fight and she's even shorter than Yoda.
Pointy Ears: A trait of her species.
Really 700 Years Old: According to this article, she was 477 when Naboo was invaded, which is barely middle-aged by her species' standards.
Retirony: Inverted. Not long after she resigns from the Jedi Council in protest, she is killed by Dooku after she catches him collaborating with Darth Sidious.
She Knows Too Much: In Tales of the Jedi, she follows Dooku to the Works, where he meets up with Palpatine/Darth Sidious to report on his progress. When she confronts both of them, she urges Dooku to do the right thing by turning him in to the Jedi. Dooku is conflicted, but the future Emperor orders his future Sith apprentice to kill her since she's a squealer that can ruin his plans, which Dooku accepts.
The Smurfette Principle: The only female member of whatever her species is. Though given that the total known members of said species amount to three, it's not exactly like the men significantly outnumber her in any capacity.
Suspiciously Similar Substitute: She serves a Yoda-like role in "The Sith Lord". Aside from being a member of Yoda's species, she's a mentor to Dooku (Yoda was Dooku's master), friendly with Qui-Gon while also agreeing with Yoda's stance that it's not implausible that the Sith have returned, but not to jump to conclusions until more info is obtained. Her lightsaber blade is green like Yoda's even though it was orange in Legends.
Unusually Uninteresting Sight: While's she undercover among the Path of the Open Hand on Dalna during the High Republic era, she simply disguises herself in a Path robe and face paint. While the rest of her colleagues belong to species common enough to believably be part of the cult (a human, a Nikto, and an Arkanian), Yaddle is from an unknown species from which there are only two known members in the Jedi Order at the time, yet none of the actual Path members bring it up (while Yaddle does get found out eventually, it's not strictly because of her species).

Oppo Rancisis

Master Oppo Rancisis

Species: Thisspiasian

Homeworld: Thisspias

Portrayed by: Jerome Blake

"The Force is the only key a Jedi needs."

Oppo Rancisis was a Thisspiasian Jedi Master on the Council whose tenure on the Council lasted from the High Republic to the fall of the Jedi Order at the end of the Clone Wars.

Adaptational Alternate Ending: In Legends, he died in the Clone Wars against the Dark Acolyte Sora Bulq. In canon, as Bulq never turned to the Dark Side, Rancisis survived both the Clone Wars and Order 66 and was apparently never found by the Empire.
Adaptational Wimp: In Legends, Oppo was a Genius Bruiser who didn't even need a lightsaber to wreak havoc, being adept not only in military strategy, but also unarmed fighting and unconventional Force powers like Malacia and Battle Meditation. It's very telling that the Dark Acolyte Sora Bulq, who had faced Dooku and Windu without fear, preferred to send an entire Anzati assassin team against Rancisis and stab him In the Back while distracted rather than trying luck in a singles duel (and this only after Rancisis had passed many days in Battle Meditation and was utterly spent). In canon, Rancisis keeps his immense strategical abilities, but he also seems to be a full Non-Action Guy without any special Force talents.
Adaptation Personality Change: Dialogue by Yoda in Legends implied Oppo had his own personality quirks and used to be somewhat of a troublesome Jedi. In canon, he is just an archetypical wise master.
All There in the Manual: A great deal of his backstory and history are only found in sourcebooks and other supplementary material.
The Cameo: He tends to make these in the Jedi Council scenes in the Prequel Trilogy and The Clone Wars.
Innocently Insensitive: While speaking with Seneschal Voh at the end of The Living Force, Rancisis calls the Council's time on Kwenn a "grand journey". Voh, who had just witnessed the Temple he maintained and all the records within being destroyed after decades of service, is extremely angered by this and not comforted by Rancisis' assurances that a new flame will be built on the ruins of the Temple. Rancisis is very confused by this reaction at first until he realizes how he is taking a very long-term view of the events with an elderly being who is thinking of the present. He apologies to him and joins him in grieving the loss of the archive there and reassuring Voh that the Kwenn Temple deeply affected all the Jedi who had passed through it and would live on in them.
Laser Blade: He wields a green-bladed lightsaber.
Little "No": Lets out when one he learns the Jedi Temple on Kwenn is being recommended for closure. Rancisis helped to build the temple and restore Kwenn from massive environmental damage during the High Republic era, with the temple's beacon tower being regarded as one of that period's Great Works. The potential closure of the temple hits him hard and even his dedication to the principals of Jedi detachment cannot overcome it.
Long-Lived: He is several centuries old and serves on the Council for a few hundred years, which gives him a very long view of events. However, his future forward view and dedication to the Jedi's rule of no attachments can cause Rancisis to lose sight of how current events can impact less long-lived people around him, a flaw he acknowledges.
Rancisis: In watching the future, I have failed to see what was near. It is a hazard of my age, and of being on the Council.
Messy Hair: In the High Republic Era, Rancisis hair and beard were much neater and well-trimmed in comparison to his unkempt look in the Prequel Era. A group of pirates in The Living Force comment on it when they see an image of him and state that they figured a Jedi Council member could afford to look more put together.
Multi Armed Multi Tasking: Thisspiasians have two pairs of arms, with Rancisis keeping his second pair hidden under his robes.
Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: After raiding a Zygerrian slave camp, Rancisis took an interest in a young slave who he saw potential in and helped sponsor her to Carida Academy. That cadet was Lourna Dee, who used the military and tactical training from her time there to become a Tempest Runner in the Nihil.
Offered the Crown: He was offered the throne of the throne of the Blood Monarch on his homeworld, but turned it down and continued his life as a Jedi.
Retcon: Secondary sources established that at the time of the Blockade of Naboo, Rancisis was 174 years old. However, Light of the Jedi retcons him as being much older, taking place about two hundred years before the Skywalker Saga and him already being a Jedi Master on the Council at that time.
Royal Blood: His parents were part of the Thisspiasian Blood Monarchy line, which made him eligible to become the ruler of his homeworld.
Schrödinger's Canon: In Legends he was a practitioner of Battle Meditation. While he is confirmed to be an adept tactician, there is no word on whether he can amplify it with the Force as he could in Legends.
Snake People: He is a Thisspiasian, a long-lived snakelike (yet rather hairy) species.
Spared by the Adaptation: In Legends, he was killed by the fallen Jedi Sora Bulq late into the Clone Wars. However, there's no word of Sora Bulq ever turning to the Dark Side in canon, and issue 19 of Darth Vader: Dark Lord of the Sith shows a list of Jedi who survived the execution of Order 66, with Rancisis among them.
The Strategist: Just like his Legends counterpart, Rancisis is mentioned to be a "tactical mastermind".

Yarael Poof

Master Yarael Poof

Species: Quermian

Homeworld: Quermia

Portrayed by: Michelle Taylor (Puppeteer)

A Quermian who sat on the Jedi Council from the High Republic Era to shortly after the invasion of Naboo.

Adaptational Wimp: His canonical version is a very minor character without any showing, rendering his official talents in diplomacy and illusions an Informed Ability. In Legends, he was possibly the most gifted Jedi telepath of his time, as well as an expert in telekinesis and battle meditation and a renowned duelist. On the other hand, the Poof from Legends was also kind of a Glass Cannon, being killed by the unceremonious way of a non-Force-sensitive wielding a knife, while this is never implied here.
Allergic to Routine: Downplayed, but after a few hundred years of life Poof is very tired of the typical routine life in the Jedi Temple. To combat this, Poof began to play pranks on his fellow Jedi and spend more time with the younglings, whom he found more interesting and livelier than many of his fellow Masters. However, Poof makes sure that his antics do not ever actually interfere with his duties on the Council.
Always Late: He is frequently the last member of the Council to arrive at scheduled meetings and is usually a few minutes late.
Bizarre Alien Biology: As a Quermian, he has a secondary brain in his chest cavity. He also has no spine despite being humanoid. His lack of a nose is due to being able to 'smell' with olfactory organs in his hands, which makes Poof really dislike whenever he has to engage in hand-to-hand combat.
Bus Crash: According to All There in the Manual, he died in a mission after the events of The Phantom Menace. Lucas removed him from Attack of the Clones because he worried audiences would confuse him for the similar-looking Kaminoans.
Deadpan Snarker: In his older age, Poof has found snarking to be a great way to alleviate some of his feelings of boredom.
Ki-Adi-Mundi: You are not the last to arrive, anyway. Master Windu is still searching for Master Billaba. And Master Koth told me he had sent for Master —
Poof: Everyone we know is a master. You'd think we could just use people's first names.
Friend to All Children: By the Prequel Era, Poof has become very popular with the younglings at the Jedi Temple due to his penchant for pranks and telling them stories of Jedi adventures in the past.
Jedi Mind Trick: Poof is amongst the most powerful practitioners of mind tricks in the Order by the Prequel Era. While some other members of the Council hold reservations about how often he uses them, Poof reconciles the ethical code of the Jedi with altering a being's mind with the Force by reasoning that he often uses it to get someone to do something they were going to do anyway, just not at that moment.
Laser Blade: He wields a blue lightsaber.
Long-Lived: He is at least two hundred-fifty years old by the time of The Phantom Menace and has been a member of the Jedi Council for centuries. Poof finds that having lived for so long and seeing so many things again and again that even with his Jedi training he has grown bored and seeks new experiences. He finds those new experiences by becoming a prankster and Trolling his fellow council members.
Long Neck: He provides the page image for the trope. In fact, this is the out-of-universe reason for his absence in Attack of the Clones — Lucas didn't want anyone confusing him with the somewhat similar-looking Kaminoans.
Multi-Armed Multitasking: As a Quermian, he has two pairs of arms, one of the pairs hidden underneath his robes.
Schrödinger's Canon: The circumstances of his death. The Legends graphic novel Zam Wessell shows that he died between the events of The Phantom Menace and Attack of the Clones, being forced to sacrifice himself to stop a rogue general from destroying Coruscant with a Doomsday Device. This hasn't been confirmed as Canon under the new continuity, but it hasn't been contradicted either, as his fate is still officially given as KIA before the Clone Wars.
Straight Man and Wise Guy: The Wise Guy to Ki-Adi-Mundi's Straight Man during the Jedi Council's mission to Kwann. Poof cannot resist trolling and needling the much more serious Ki-Adi-Mundi since he is so easy to wind up.
Unfortunate Name: After pointing out to Ki-Adi-Mundi that most people they know are "Master X" and that they really should just refer to each other by their first names, Ki-Adi-Mundi suggests he just wants his own first name used instead of Poof, which he gets indignant about.
Poof: Poof is a grand and historic name among the Quermians. It's not my fault that when it translates to Basic it sound like the end of a magic trick.

Joined between 32-22 BBY

Shaak Ti

Master Shaak Ti

"You are where you need to be. Solve your problems as a whole, not as individuals."

Species: Togruta

Homeworld: Shili

Portrayed by: Orli Shoshan

Voiced by: Tasia Valenza

Appearances: Attack of the Clones | The Clone Wars | Dark Disciple | Revenge of the Sith | Star Wars (Marvel 2015)^note

"Unity wins war, gentlemen."

Shaak Ti was a female Togruta Jedi Master who replaced Yaddle on the Jedi Council. During the Clone Wars, she oversaw the training and cloning facilities on Kamino.

Action Girl: She is a very capable Jedi Master and her skills made her a good choice to oversee the training of new clone troopers and defend Kamino from an assault.
Adaptational Modesty: Her Legends version went native in the jungle planet Felucia and adopted a Stripperific tribal attire. This never happens in canon, where she is never seen without regular Jedi robes.
Adaptational Wimp:
- In Legends, Shaak was almost a living legend for her abilities: she was one of the finest swordfighters in the Order, a master in telekinesis and Force nature techniques, and a top strategist. She also saved many lives during the Clone Wars, survived to the Order 66, and had to be taken down by a supernova like Galen Marek while she was busy setting up a resistance movement against the Empire. In canon, however, Shaak is just an average Jedi Master with some battlefield talent who is assigned to Kamino to oversee the production and training of new clone troopers in addition to getting killed by Darth Vader during his assault on the Jedi Temple.
- Somewhat downplayed in terms of relative power however, as Shaak Ti never really gets a major fight otherwise, as Darth Vader is implied to be stronger than Galen Marek according to Sidious^note. It's never made clear what exactly she's capable of in canon.
Alien Hair: Her horns and head-tails.
Ascended Extra: Gets a supporting role in a handful of episodes of The Clone Wars after being featured in the Prequel Trilogy via occasional cameos.
The Cameo: She tends to briefly appear mostly in Jedi Council meeting scenes. Also, a holocron displays her image in the main Star Wars comic.
Character Death: She gets stabbed through the chest by Darth Vader during the attack of the Jedi Temple.
Clones Are People, Too: In her conversation with Lama Su about the Domino Squad, she argues that they can't just cast off the Dominoes since they're living beings.
Death by Adaptation: In Legends, she was one of the few Jedi to survive the enactment of Order 66, and spent sixteen years in hiding before eventually meeting her end at the hands of Galen Marek on Felucia. In canon, she died at Vader's hand (or blade, rather) during the attack on the Jedi Temple (but not before recording a final message on a holocron). In a deleted scene that was nearly fully completed but ultimately cut from the film, she was also executed by General Grievous near the beginning of Revenge of the Sith.
Dual Wielding: During the Battle of Coruscant, she uses both her lightsaber and a MagnaGuard staff to fight Grievous and his guards.
Face Death with Dignity: She chose not to fight when the Jedi Temple was assaulted, opting instead to record some teachings in a holocron for a future Jedi to use. She calmly meditated while waiting for her death at Darth Vader's hands.
Fling a Light into the Future: During the attack on the Jedi Temple, she records a message on a holocron and begs for whoever finds it to not let the Jedi die out from the Empire's purge. This holocron ends up in the hands of Grakkus the Hutt, whose collection of Jedi artifacts ends up seized by the Empire.
Horned Humanoid: Her montrals are hollow horns.
Impaled with Extreme Prejudice: During Yoda's vision in "Voices", he sees several Jedi die during the events of Revenge of the Sith, including Shaak Ti being impaled from behind by Anakin Skywalker's lightsaber. This canonized a deleted scene in Revenge of the Sith that was never completed.^note
In the Back: During the Jedi Temple Massacre, Vader sneaks up behind her while she's meditating. Shaak Ti, unaware of Anakin's fall to the Dark Side, doesn't realize the purpose of his presence until he's already stabbed her through the upper torso with his lightsaber.
Shaak Ti: What is it, Skywalker?
Lady of War: During the Battle of Kamino, she took out a bunch of Aqua Droids very gracefully.
Laser Blade: She wields a blue-bladed lightsaber.
A Mother to Her Men: In addition to her mentality mentioned above, she also gives some warm-hearted advice to Fives and Echo. She also stands up for Fives when Nala Se threatens to have him decommissioned for removing his own inhibitor chip.
One-Man Army: She takes down several Aqua Droids by herself during the Battle of Kamino.
Out of Focus: She's the only member of the Jedi Council who had a more expanded role than occasional cameos that didn't get a Day in the Limelight episode in The Clone Wars.
Reasonable Authority Figure: As the general in charge of overseeing clone training, she's essentially a happy medium between El-Les and Bric, caring about the trainees as individuals and wanting them to succeed, but also understanding the need for a sink or swim mentality.
Rubber-Forehead Alien: She's a Togruta, a species that has two hollow horns and three head-tails.
Unexplained Accent: She sounds vaguely Latina or somewhere close to that due to her voice actress (on the other hand, her actress in the films is Israeli).

Coleman Trebor

Master Coleman Trebor

Species: Vurk

Homeworld: Sembla

Portrayed by: CGI (Robert Coleman)

Appearances: Attack of the Clones

Coleman Trebor was a Vurk who took Yarael Poof's seat on the Jedi Council after the latter's death. He participated in the First Battle of Geonosis, where he was killed by Jango Fett.

Fake Ultimate Mook: He is a Jedi Master on the Jedi Council, but he gets almost effortlessly taken down by Jango Fett.
Laser Blade: He wields a green-bladed lightsaber.
Leeroy Jenkins: During the First Battle of Geonosis, he attempts to attack Count Dooku without any backup. While Dooku seems surprised by his appearance, Trebor is so focused on killing Dooku he does not notice Jango, who manages to get the drop on him.
One-Steve Limit: Notable aversion; He is one of very few characters in all of Star Wars who shares a first name with another, which is especially notable since he and Coleman Kcaj served on the Jedi Council at the same time.
Red Shirt: He has no lines, and exists for Jango to kill and help establish how skilled he is.
Sdrawkcab Name: "Trebor" is the reverse of Robert, which is a reference to Robert Coleman, an employee at Industrial Light & Magic. He is also created and animated by Robert and his team, making him effectively a Robert Coleman cameo.
Schrödinger's Canon: In Legends, he was a master of Form III, Soresu. Yes, that's right, a Form III Jedi Master was killed by a blaster.
The Voiceless: Has no lines before being killed.

Joined during the Clone Wars

Obi-Wan Kenobi

Master Obi-Wan Kenobi

He is on the council, but not a Master, as he was appointed by Palpatine.

Kit Fisto

Master Kit Fisto

"Those who have power should restrain themselves from using it."

Species: Nautolan

Homeworld: Glee Anselm

Portrayed by: Zac Jensen and Daniel Zizmor (Attack of the Clones), Ben Cooke (Revenge of the Sith)

Voiced by: Phil LaMarr

"Patience, both of you. A second look usually pays off."

Kit Fisto was a Nautolan Jedi Master and member of the Jedi Council. He was known for being skilled in battle and far more humorous and laid-back than many of his colleagues.

Ace Custom: His Jedi starfighter is painted red along the edges with some white in the middle, along with green markings which were the same as the emblems displayed on Kit's gauntlets.
Adaptation Relationship Overhaul: In Legends, Kit had a very close, borderline romantic relationship with Aayla Secura. In canon, they apparently do not have such a relationship.
Alien Hair: His tentacles.
Ascended Extra: Becomes a recurring character in The Clone Wars after being a Red Shirt, complete with an episode dedicated to him.
Badass in Distress: He is briefly held captive during the Battle of Mon Cala and tortured alongside Anakin. He is freed when the Quarren turn on the Separatists.
Character Death: Fisto is cut down by Darth Sidious in Revenge of the Sith.
Curb Stomp Cushion: Of the three Jedi Windu brings to confront Palpatine, Fisto lasts the longest against the Dark Lord of the Sith before being killed.
Day in the Limelight: In "Lair of Grievous", Kit is the main protagonist and gets a chance to show off his skills against General Grievous.
Deadpan Snarker: He is kind of one, particularly towards Anakin during the Battle of Mon Cala.
Dual Wielding: He used this technique rather epically in a duel with Grievous.
Emerald Power: A green-skinned Jedi who uses a green lightsaber and is widely considered to be one of the greatest lightsaber duelists in the Jedi Order.
Fish People: Nautolans are an amphibian species and Kit is noted to be most comfortable on water worlds like his native Glee Anselm.
Friend to All Children: His laid-back personality and sense of humor make him popular among the Younglings.
Gentle Giant: A 6'5 Nautolan who is one of the most affable and good-natured Jedi Masters around.
Green-Skinned Space Babe: A rare male version. Kit's shirtless scenes during the Mon Calamari arc in The Clone Wars present him as being quite fit.
Grin of Audacity: He briefly flashes one during the battle in the Geonosis arena after coming across a battle droid with the head of a certain unlucky protocol droid attached to its body.
Humanoid Aliens: Nautolans like him are tentacle-headed, green-skinned, amphibian humanoids.
I Surrender, Suckers: He pulls this on Grievous, but substitutes an escape for the trope's dictated attack. Grievous' look when his surrender demand is (seemingly) accepted is priceless.
Lantern Jaw of Justice: His design in The Clone Wars has a much stronger, square jawline than he had in Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith because neither of his designs in the Prequel Trilogy translated well in animation that he's a heroic character.
Laser Blade: He wields a green-bladed lightsaber.
Little "No": He says this when his former Padawan Nahdar Vebb is killed by Grievous.
Master Swordsman: He is considered one of the finest lightsaber duelists in the Jedi Order, managing to single-handedly defeat General Grievous in a lightsaber duel when multiple Jedi Knights and Masters failed.
Mentor Archetype: To Nahdar Vebb, although the war made it impossible for him to be there when he completed his trials and became a Jedi Knight. When he finally sees Nahdar again, he is disturbed by how arrogant the war has made his former apprentice.
Mr. Fanservice: In The Clone Wars, he is the only male character to have a completely gratuitous, non-justifiable Shirtless Scene. The writers joked that it was something of a Twilight reference.
Nice Guy: He's easily one of the friendliest and most approachable Jedi, especially compared to his peers on the Council.
One-Man Army: His preferred lightsaber form, Shii-Cho, is all about taking on multiple enemies at once. It makes it easier for him to take on the Separatist Droid Army.
Perpetual Smiler: He always seems to have a smile on his face, even when idle. When he does actually smile, it's a very big cheesy grin.
Red Shirt: Less than Agen Kolar due to The Clone Wars giving him a fleshed-out and expanded role with lines. However, in the Prequel Trilogy, he does little but knock over C-3PO and get killed by Chancellor Palpatine.
Rubber-Forehead Alien: He's a Nautolan, which generally have a humanoid build aside from a fish-like tentacled head.
Shirtless Scene: Let's just say there was a good reason all of Kit's fangirls looked forward to the fourth season of The Clone Wars.
Tactical Rock–Paper–Scissors:
- Part of the reason for his success against Grievous is the fact that Fisto's preferred lightsaber form, Form I, specializes in taking on multiple opponents at once. As a result, he was able to adapt far more easily to Grievous' multi-armed assault than most other lightsaber wielders.
- Unfortunately, Form I is less useful in one-on-one duels, hence why Fisto gets killed by Darth Sidious.
Wacky Parent, Serious Child: He's much more laidback and grounded compared to his former apprentice Nahdar who's more serious and uptight.
The Worf Effect: He was brought with Windu to confront Palpatine because he is one of the most powerful Jedi in the Order; while he puts up a better fight than Tiin and Kolar, Sidious still manages to quickly kill him. Made even worst in retrospect, as he is the only jedi in the Clone Wars other than Kenobi to fight Grievous and have the upper hand (Adi Gallia, Ahsoka and Nahdar lost outright, while Eeth Koth is slightly outmatched, before resorting to the force, at which point magnaguards attack and subdue him).

Agen Kolar

Master Agen Kolar

Species: Zabrak (Iridonian)

Homeworld: Coruscant

Portrayed by: Tux Akindoyeni

Appearances: Attack of the Clones | The Clone Wars^note | Revenge of the Sith

Agen Kolar was a Zabrak Jedi Master and member of the Jedi Council after Jedi Master Eeth Koth was removed. He accompanied Mace Windu, Kit Fisto, and Saesee Tinn in confronting Palpatine.

The Cameo: In The Clone Wars episode "Voices", he makes a brief appearance in Yoda's vision of how the Clone Wars will end. Or they planned him to, as Eeth Koth's character model is used instead.
Character Death: He gets stabbed by Sidious.
Curb-Stomp Battle: Alongside Tiin, he gets killed within seconds of the lightsaber duel against Palpatine starting. Fisto follows soon later.
Dies Differently in Adaptation: In the novelization of Revenge of the Sith, he gets stabbed in the head rather than in the torso.
Horned Humanoid: Comes with being a Zabrak.
Impaled with Extreme Prejudice: Palpatine runs through him with his lightsaber, killing him.
Laser Blade: He wields a blue-bladed lightsaber.
Mentor Archetype: Was training Tan Yuster at the time of the Battle of Geonosis, where Tan was one of the casualties of the arena battle.
Red Shirt: He never talks nor exists for much other than being killed by Palpatine.
Rubber-Forehead Alien: He's a Zabrak, a species that has several cranial horns.
Suspiciously Similar Substitute: He looks similar to Eeth Koth, being a Zabrak that replaced him on the Jedi Council after he stepped down. In fact, Kolar was originally meant to be Koth during the Geonosis scenes in Attack of the Clones^note, but he looked different enough that he was made a separate character.
Tragic Keepsake: After Tan's death, Agen kept his kyber crystal and added it to his own weapon in memory of his Padawan.
The Voiceless: He doesn't have any lines.
The Worf Effect: He was bought with Mace to confront Palpatine because he is one of the most powerful Jedi in the Order but he is killed in seconds.

Stass Allie

Master Stass Allie

Species: Tholothian

Homeworld: Tholoth

Portrayed by: Lily Nyamwasa (Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith), Tace Bayliss and Nina Fallon (Revenge of the Sith)

Appearances: Attack of the Clones | Revenge of the Sith

Stass Allie was a Tholothian Jedi Master who became part of the Jedi Council towards the end of the Clone Wars as a result of the death of her cousin Adi Gallia.

All There in the Manual: Everything known about her comes from supplemental material, as her brief scenes in Revenge of the Sith remains her only appearance.
Healing Hands: Supplemental material states she's skilled in healing and a member of both the Jedi Circle of Healers and the Medical Corps.
Laser Blade: She wields a green-bladed lightsaber.
Red Shirt: She has yet to have any appearances outside of her non-speaking film scenes, where her only significant scene features her being killed alongside dozens of other Jedi as a result of the execution of Order 66.
Rubber-Forehead Alien: She looks exactly like a human except for her purple eyes, scaled cranium, and head tendrils.
Suspiciously Similar Substitute: She looks almost exactly like her cousin Adi Gallia and joined the Jedi Council after her death. In fact, she was originally intended to be Adi Gallia when the actress in The Phantom Menace did not return, but looked sufficiently different enough to become a different character.
The Voiceless: She doesn't speak any dialogue.

Coleman Kcaj

Master Coleman Kcaj

Species: Ongree

Portrayed by: CGI

Appearances: The Clone Wars | Revenge of the Sith | Darth Vader: Dark Lord of the Sith ^note | Obi-Wan Kenobi ^note

Coleman Kcaj was an Ongree Jedi Master who joined the Jedi Council late in the Clone Wars.

The Cameo: He tends to make brief appearances in The Clone Wars.
He Who Must Not Be Heard: He has yet to speak in any canon source (or even a Legends source).
Humanoid Alien: Ongree like Kcaj have the basic humanoid body type, but a triangular head with the eyes at the bottom of the face on the side with a mouth in the middle.
Killed Offscreen: He died at some point during the Great Jedi Purge after initially surviving Order 66, with his preserved corpse on display within the Fortress Inquisitorius.
Laser Blade: He uses a green lightsaber.
Sdrawkcab Name: Same as Master Trebor above, "Kcaj" is the reverse of Jack, the name of Robert Coleman's son.
The Voiceless: He doesn't have any lines.
