Summary
Obi - Wan Kenobi was not Anakin Skywalker ’s only Jedi wise man in the prequelStar Warstrilogy era . For most of his training , Anakin ’s mentor was Obi - Wan , with the two often brabble but ultimately being close friends - and remaining so after Skywalker had ascended toJedi Knighthood . In one Legends story , however , Skywalker briefly had another Jedi Master who was exempt from a ill-famed Jedi principle , despite being a patriotic follower of the Jedi Code .
InStar WarsLegends , originally be intimate as the Expanded Universe , Anakin became a Knight far subsequently inthe Clone Warsthan he did in the new canyon . As a Padawan , Anakin fought in the disastrous Battle of Jabiim , a debilitating defeat for the Republic that cost them many Jedi , dead ringer troopers , and allies , as well as harm their repute . The Battle of Jabiim also saw the presumed deaths of both Obi - Wan Kenobi and the ARC Trooper Alpha , who were seemingly disintegrated while rescuing clone troopers from a downed Republic AT - AT . In truth , they survived the vehicle ’s plosion and were becharm by Asajj Ventress , who then jug them in her castle on Rattatak - but Anakin was still in need of a wise man to take his spot .
What ’s the best way to follow Star Wars ? Here ’s everything you need to know to watch in release or timeline order , and how to include the telly shows .
Why Anakin Became Ki-Adi-Mundi’s Padawan
With Obi - Wan Kenobi consider to be beat , Anakin was assigned a new Jedi Master : Ki - Adi - Mundi . Mundi consider his mentorship of Skywalker would be brief , and he was correct , since the two only worked together as Master and Padawan during the Battle of Varonat and a deliverance mission on Riflor . Ki - Adi - Mundi lacked the Force connection Obi - Wan and Anakin had , so while Mundi could not observe Kenobi after the Battle of Jabiim , Anakin never believed his original Master had died in the first position , as he could feel his presence in the Force . On Riflor , Mundi and Skywalker rescue Kenobi and Alpha , and thus Skywalker became Kenobi ’s Padawan again .
Anakin Would Have Seen Ki-Adi-Mundi As Evidence Of Jedi Hypocrisy
Ki - Adi - Mundi was , notably , exempt from the Jedi rule against marrying and starting house . This was due to his species having perilously crushed birth rates , and thus the Jedi Order made an exception for Mundi for the sake of his species ’ selection . Ki - Adi - Mundi had multiple wives and many children , but he did his best not to become attached to any of his immediate family members for the sake of following the Jedi Code . Tragically , Mundi ’s full family die in the Battle of Cerea , a loss so neat that even Ki - Adi - Mundi himself struggled to accept it .
It was George Lucas himself who allowed Ki - Adi - Mundi to be nontaxable from the Jedi normal against union , because he had oversight over the traditional knowledge . This confirms that Star Wars Legends was indeed the officialStar Warscanon until 2014 .
Ki - Adi - Mundi mentions the grievous expiration of his family unit during his brief clock time as Anakin ’s wise man . Unsurprisingly , Anakin is surprised by the fact that Mundi was allowed to marry , prompt Mundi to explicate that he taste to avoid becoming attached to his family . Such a task was extremely unmanageable for Ki - Adi - Mundi , but impossible for Anakin Skywalker , as his privy matrimony and attachment to Padmé Amidala is one of the main reason why he leave the Jedi Order and became the Sith Lord Darth Vader at the end of the prequelStar Warstrilogy - and in Legends , this exception for Mundi could have been yet another lip service motivate Anakin to mistrust the Jedi Order .
