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 long-lived Jedi Master, Yoda was the conduit for the rebirth of the nearly-vanished Jedi Knights. For more than 800 years, the diminutive green being has trained Jedi Knights in the ways of the Force, but rarely has he faced such a challenge as the impetuous young Luke Skywalker Mace Windu

Mace Windu 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 Jedi 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. A lthough nowadays he almost never picks up his blue-bladed lightsaber to face an enemy in battle, Mace Windu remains a fearsome warrior with a perfect mastery of the Jedi fighting techniques.

Ki-Adi Mundi

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.

Adi Gallia

Born to high-ranking Corellian diplomats living on Coruscant, this beautiful and intuitive Jedi Master is a female member of an unknown humanoid alien species Gallia possesses a deep understanding of the Republic's complex political system, and has carefully developed a network of contacts and informants throughout the government, making her one of the Supreme Chancellor's most valuable intelligence sources. Through her contacts, Gallia gained knowledge of the Trade Federation's plans to invade Naboo. She promptly warned Supreme Chancellor Valorum, who in turn asked the Jedi Council to send ambassadors to deal with the situation.

Depa Billaba

A new addition to the Jedi Council, Depa Billaba brings an air of order, culture and perspective to the Council Chamber. When she was just six months old, Billaba's entire family was killed by marauding pirates. Mace Windu was able to save the young Chalactan child, and he immediately sensed her strong connection to the Force. On Coruscant, Depa has learned to use her special abilities for the good of the galaxy. She has embraced the traditional culture of Chalacta in honor of her slain parents, and as a result the Jedi Master is particularly attuned to the minds and personalities of her peers in the Council Chamber.

Eeth Koth

Born in squalor on Nar Shaddaa, the "smuggler's moon" orbiting the Hutt homeworld of Nal Hutta, the Zabrak Jedi Master is known for his highly developed willpower and ability to withstand intense pain. He was recognized as a Jedi prospect at age four, and was initially considered too old to be trained, although he later proved himself worthy after demonstrating extreme mental discipline. Eeth Koth trained the Jedi hero Shared Hett, who later disappeared to live among Tatooine's Tusken Raiders.

Even Piell

Standing little more than one meter tall, Jedi Master Even Piell is nonetheless highly respected for his combat abilities. Although he is typically contemplative and reserved, Piell becomes fiercely aggressive when forced into combat. During one conflict, Piell single-handedly battled and defeated seven dangerous terrorists, even after sustaining a grisly eye injury. Due to his developed code of honor, he refuses to wear a prosthetic replacement for the lost eye, and bears the scar as badge of honor -- a reminder that it was he who survived despite enormous odds.

Oppo Rancisis

As a baby, Oppo Rancisis was offered to the Jedi Order by his mother, the Blood Monarch of Thisspias, and was apprenticed to Jedi Master Yaddle. At age 20, he inherited the title as Monarch of Thisspias when his younger sister was killed. He declined the role, however, abdicating the throne in order to serve the entire galaxy among the Jedi Order. Rancisis is a master of Malacia, a Jedi technique that induces a powerful dizziness and nausea in enemies. It is completely incapacitating like a hammer blow, but does not cause any lasting physical damage. He has taught the technique at the Jedi Temple for over two decades, but only a few other Jedi have come close to mastering the difficult discipline. When peaceful negotiations fail, Rancisis ensures that Jedi-counseled military tactics are cunning and effective using his artful strategies and battle plans.

Plo Koon

A Kel Dor from Dorin and descendent from a long line of Jedi, Plo Koon masterfully uses his highly-developed extrasensory organs to enhance his Jedi mind powers to extremes. Plo Koon is legendary for his leadership in the Stark Hyperspace Wars, during which he took up the Republic banner after a great Jedi Master was killed. Koon rallied the disheartened troops to an unlikely and miraculous victory, and has ever since been a trusted ally to the Republic Army and Navy as a Jedi Council member. Plo Koon has fought along side Qui-Gon Jinn on several occasions, and looked forward to the day his friend might consider filling one of the Council's short-term positions

Saesee Tinn

Hailing from the wind-beaten moon Iktotch, Jedi Master Saesee Tiin possesses natural telepathic abilities and an exceptionally strong connection to the Force. He is well known for his abilities as a pilot, and is at his best while any spacecraft. Saesee Tiin trained under the great Omo Bouri, a Wol Cabasshite Jedi Master who orchestrated the famed Treaty of Trammis a century ago. When Master Bouri perished, Saesee Tiin reinvigorated his Jedi training - with the hope that he might gain sufficient insight into the Force to communicate with his vanished master.

Yaddle

Young at only 477, Yaddle is one of the Jedi Council's most compassionate, balanced and patient members. In any debate or discussion, she will listen quietly and absorb all arguments before supplying her characteristically single and insightful opinion. Yaddle is head of the Librarian Assembly, a group of Jedi scholars who maintain the Temple's collection of holocrons, ancient scrolls, and Sith writings. Her private quarters in the Jedi Temple are filled from floor to ceiling with thousands of tiny trinkets. Yaddle has trained dozens of Padawan learners in her life, including Jedi Master Oppo Rancisis. With centuries of training behind her, Yaddle is skilled at all Jedi techniques and is one of few Jedi entrusted with the dangerous knowledge of Morichro - a forbidden Jedi art that rapidly slows the body functions of other beings, easily resulting in death.

Yarael Poof

Quermian Jedi Master Yarael Poof is a sentient invertebrate being with a long neck and four arms. Like all members of the Quermian species, his olfactory glands are located in his hands, and a second brain is positioned in his chest. Yarael Poof is known to be a consummate artist of Jedi mind tricks, including the ability to quickly (and nonviolently) subdue opponents by using the Force to conjure images of whatever that opponent fears the most.
