Yoda and The Jedi Council

By the time of the Battle of Naboo, Yoda was well into his 800's, making him the oldest member of the Jedi Council. He has visited hundreds of worlds on his own in his endeavor to understand and appreciate the infinitely variable nuances of the Force. The venerable Jedi Master is revered for his wisdom and insight, and prefers careful contemplation to rash action.

A senior member of the respected Jedi Council, Mace Windu now rarely leaves the Jedi Temple. His wisdom and experience are remarkable, and so his words, softly spoken within the chambers and hallways of the Temple, bear great weight throughout the galaxy. J edi Master Windu regularly confers with Yoda and the ten other members of the Council on the balance of the Force and the general affairs of the Jedi Knights. His authority is as high as that of Master Yoda, which makes his opinion, during debates, greatly revered.

Taught by Jedi Master Yoda himself, Ki-Adi-Mundi is the only Jedi Knight to serve on the council. This humanoid from the utopian world of Cerea possesses a high-domed head holding a complex binary brain supported by a second heart. Before the Battle of Naboo, he became embroiled in a political struggle on Cerea, which lead him to Tatooine where he uncovered signs of the Trade Federation's clandestine war preparations.
