I would like a solo series about Ki Adi, along with Luminara Unduli, Adi Gallia, Kit Fisto, Shaak Ti, Plo Koon, any of those Jedi I see in these clips that had arcs to play in the Clone Wars. They need more attention and some actual backstory imo. :)
@@zondrabarth4508 You can check out the comic dub series on my channel, most of the characters you menotined there get backstory in there and have focus put on them: ru-vid.com/group/PLdUYOS-Lb5voVkaDIhJoGVpwydmutZZlx
Ki-Adi is also very briefly seen at Qui-Gon's funeral. It's the only scene in all of Star Wars canon as far as I can tell where he wears a hood, so he's a bit difficult to recognize.
@@MuttonTheDragon Not on his home planet of Cerea! A lot of people wear that outfit there. Actually, that may explain why he dosen't wear a traditional Jedi robe.
@@Isaacisaperson4677 He never said that lol. He says in the republic comic series that he felt "great sorrow" at their passing. Mundi is a powerful, kind and compassionate Jedi in legends, as was GL's intention.
I like how everyone seemingly started caring about a Jedi who was doubting Sith’s existence, Ahsoka’s testimony, and Yoda’s force visions. And yet the thing that people started to care was a Dark Side user showed up, their birth year on a trading card, and an Internet meme
I think Mundi is a Jedi representing the true conservatism of the Jedi order. Even when Yoda tells the council about having talked to Qui-Gon, he refuses to even consider that maybe the Jedi don‘t know everything. He likely thinks that the Jedi before him and all they learnt and taught are not debatable and completely true. Somewhat of a polar-opposite to Jedi-Reformers I think, that‘s also why I like Mundi: he represents the past and shows to us it‘s not always right.
@@furioussherman7265false. Windu was never conservative. He created his own lightsaber style that touches the dark side. He was always the person who saw the cracks in the Jedi and Republic and was setting himself up to fix them (bit of a messiah complex, but not thoughtless conservatism). If anything, you are describing Yoda…
@@thrawncaedusl717 Yoda was a traditionalist. Unlike Windu he wasn't zealous enough to just ignore the flaws in the Order, but he was too set in his ways to think outside the box for solutions.
@@dawsonreum8096 he basically cut himself off from all his attachments and emotions so even when his entire family died it didn’t phase him. he had like more than one wife i think but only had them to populate their species there was no love. wen ani’s mom died he said like u shouldn’t be sad or sum so he was weird
@@dawsonreum8096 He also HORRIBLY mistreated clones, using them like chess pieces and freely allowing hundreds to die in a mission if it means he can accomplish the mission. He may not have done it out of spite, like Pong Krell, but the absolute emotionless calm that he allowed thousands to die, including his own family, is why he is probably one of the most hated Jedi by the clones
In Canon, His Lightsaber Has a Crystal Where the Primary Color is Blue, But can Be Switched to Green By Him via a Secondary button. It has something to do with his Unusual Connection to the force
"I hesitated for a moment when I received Order 66 because the last thing I expected was a Jedi coup. Did I feel betrayed? You bet I did. I thought of all my men who died under Ki-Adi-Mundi's command, and if I'd known then that he and his buddies were gearing up to do the Separatists' work for them and overthrow the government, I'd have shot him as a traitor a lot earlier. He betrayed the trust of every one of us." - Clone Trooper Commander CC-1138 "Bacara"
Heres a small detail I noticed. In the clone wars they added a com to Mundi’s left wrist. In the Siege of Mandalore arc they removed it so he looks more like his movie counterpart.
I do wonder if Ki Adi was better fit to be Anakin's Jedi Master, he was gentle and calm he got a family as a duty to his race and yet he was a Jedi besides that he grow fond of Anakin, to some extend to push for him to ascend to Knighthood.
Ki Adi Mundi was very conservative, even more so than Obi-Wan. Given Anakin's situation with his mother he would've stifled Anakin and probably even accelerated his descent into the Dark Side.
@@getaloadofthisguy2927 no but most of the Jedi were the very embodiment of the Jedi Code, yes even Yoda, and to some extend Obi-Wan and when the Jedi Order was purged they learned how to train a young man/Woman like Anakin.or in this specific case his Son or his Daughter if one fall
All that would’ve most likely done is result in a 14 year old Darth Vader instead of a 22 year old one. There’s no way that being trained under a totally heartless fanatic like Mundi wouldn’t have resulted in Anakin turning even earlier.
That was part of the issue with the Jedi Council, several of them could live for hundreds of years like Yoda, Yaddle, Ki-Adi-Mundi, and Oppo Rancisis and they became very staunch and unbending in their views. They couldn't see how they had fallen so far before Order 66 partly because of that and partly because they also built the Jedi Temple over an ancient Sith Temple and so it slowly corrupted the Order.
@@ChrisVillagomez This is not entirely true. On the one hand, they may have moral and personality vices that have not been corrected in their centuries of life (which I honestly see as impossible not to happen after so many centuries of life) that will cause serious problems for the Jedi Order, taking into account the his position of power. But this also applies the other way around. They may have virtues, moral certainties, and undeniable jedai values that would prevent or greatly delay the natural decay of any institution, such as the Jedi Order.
What are you on about? If not for Mundi, Yoda would not have been dispatched to Kashykk, and the combined might of Windu and Yoda would have brought down Sidious, preventing Order 66 completely.
@@AnchorOfTime The Jedi weren't going to not bring up Kashyyy on that meeting, there's a war going on, they're not going to forget the state of the war they're here to discuss on that day. Also Ki-adi didn't force Yoda to go, it's Yoda himself who declared he would go. Besides, how was that a bad move to make for the Jedi with the informations they had ? Kashyyyk needed help, they sent the best person they had to handle it. Palpatine wanted Yoda out of Coruscant, he would have found a way no matter what, literally none of this is Mundi's fault.
Ki-Adi Mundi was pretty cool in the CW - he, Kit Fisto and Plo Koon were always in the background in the live-action films, so it was cool to see them more in the CW and more of their involvement during the war! They were underrated.
Ahh, Ki-Adi Mundi. The guy whose advice to a young, grieving Anakin who thought that Obi-Wan had died in battle was “You should just get over it kid, because hey, look at me: my entire family just got slaughtered and I don’t give a single shit! Totally because of balance and tranquility or something, and not because I’m a complete sociopath 😀”
@@emb_maul9632wipe his mind of what so far? He hasn't met and correctly identified a sith in this episode. If he does in future episodes, I agree, but that hasn't happened yet. He knows about the witch daughter Mae, and Mae doesn't even know her own master, heck, she might not even know that he is a sith.
7:02 look at lil pad wantano She is a real trooper she is one of my favorite Jetti , Asoka Tano comes from way back in the clone to survival of order 66 to star war rebels, she is fast agile dual wielding style I love it she is one bad ass Jetti
@@jamaicanking45 He's also the main protagonist in the comic "Outlander - the Exile of Sharad Hett", and if you want, you can check out my dub of that here: ru-vid.com/group/PLdUYOS-Lb5vpqMIS3lI7ixtNZKt_E5FrC
5:45 was the only recollection I had of this character before watching getting Star Wars youtube videos so my impression of him was just a funny old guy
@@da-vidcargill4975 I like that his species grows older in canon. The species has binary brains, so to me it just makes sense that they would have longer lifespans, it just feels right to me that aging and its neurological degradations would take much longer than single-brained humans.
It was always an incorrect assertion, since Maul and Sidious are in the movie. We'll have to see how the acolyte turns out, but for now he has not learned of the return of the sith.
@@garbotoxins840 Yeah but any person with a red lightsaber would be good to bring up in conversation about the sith, even if it was just an assassin, a red kyber crystal needs to be bled using hatred to make it that color, additionally this Sith killed one Jedi that we know of, Kelnacca. It's stupid that Ki Adi Mundi would say nothing in TPM imo
@@garbotoxins840 Incorrect assertion? Ki Adi Mundi was talking about any sith before Maul, he didn't know about Plagueis or Palpatine but he definitely knew about the Sith in the Acolyte
@@emb_maul9632 1. Ki-adi wasn't there, we don't know if he will even be made aware of it. 2. His assertion that it's impossible for the sith to come back in ep1 is his reply to Qui-gon's report about Maul, so even if someone comes back and reports on this sith, it would be in-character for him to doubt that it's a sith. 3. Red lightsabers aren't unique to the sith in canon or in legends, many fallen jedi also bleed their crystals, so it alone is not confirmation to the jedi that they are sith, also evidenced by the council not initially believing Maul is a sith in episode 1.
@@emb_maul9632 why do you say that he definitely knew about the sith in acolyte? In his one scene in the episode, the speculation is that a fallen jedi from some splinter group trained Mae. Maybe you're right and they somehow completely fumble everything and make him aware of the sith in the next episodes, but saying he definitely knew is jumping way far ahead to imaginary future episodes. We will see how it goes.
If I remember correctly George liked his voice so he gave some lines and I guess it just continued for the other movies as people already heard him in the Phantom Menace
I think they also had him kind of embody and display the naive tendencies of the Jedi as seen by his inability to recognize that the sith had returned, that Count Dooku was evil, that Ahsoka was innocent, that Yoda was hearing Qui-Gon, etc.
I'm rather baffled to learn how sociopathic Mundi was, as my impression of him was shaped by the 2003 _Clone Wars_ where he seemed *quite* upset and worried for Shaak Ti...🤔
Silas Carson is officially the only actor who got killed three times in the entire saga on screen. I say officially, as there were many stand ins who were probably killed as many or even more times than Carson was. In Episode I, he appears at the very beginning of the movie, playing the captain of the ship that brought Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan to Nute Gunray's ship. He was killed on Gunray's order when his ship was blown up. At one point, both the captain and Nute Gunray (on ship's screen) can be seen in same shot. Both were played by Carson. In Episode III, Carson died as both Ki-Adi Mundi and Nute Gunray, being killed in both instances.
yeah there are 2 other saber miscolorings that I have noticed one with Shaak Ti where her saber is green as she gets on the gunship and the other with Windu where his is blue on the gunship as well
The closest to the light side a jedi can get without becoming a dark jedi sheerly by lack of empathy. This guy was such an awful person that the clones that shot him did so without hesitation, and shot him relentlessly. He is probably only second to Pong Krell in how badly he mistreated clones, and was the WORST embodiment of a Jedi in the entire Council
Doesn’t he clearly state that he is sad some of his clones haven’t fully healed from their wounds ? How does that show a lack of empathy ? “I wish I could say the same for most of my men” when responding to the statement that his own wounds had almost fully healed.
When I watching the prequels since 2015, my li'l bro's calling him "Siopao" or "Yokai" and made fun of him about I was his girlfriend then I was like... WTF!!!
When people call mundi a sociopath they do forget that A. Ki adi mundi has two brains so that are designed to think as logically as possible 2 the Jedi are fighting a war and In war all moral lines get crossed. This whole war was designed to ruin the Jedi order’s reputation as peace keepers. 3 the sith have been working in shadows to make the senate as currupt as possible and by extension the Jedi as they serve the senate with little separation which was a trap of their own making
it's really all in the comics. I do think that ordering flamethrower units to burn down creatures defending their home would be a war crime for sure tho haha
@@auditect950 “Star Wars Republic” not sure which volume, it’s been a while. But this book series shows his polygamous relationships and his role in the jedi order early on.
@@kellenat0r346 You mean "Prelude to Rebellion"? He is outright stated to love his family in that. He does everything in his power to save his daughter and in the following story arc he yells at Jabba the Hutt for putting her in danger. That's not being sociopathic.
@@auditect950 I was just replying to the other guy saying that if there's anything remotely concerning about Ki Adi then that would be the place to look.
