- "Kanrii? What are you doing here?"
"Lekaki. This is my friend, Keeve. She is a Jedi. She is not afraid. She isn't even sweating. Look." - ―Lekaki, and Kanrii when referring to Keeve Trennis that was climbing the Needles
Lekaki was a Ximpi that lived during the High Republic Era.[2] In 232 BBY,[1] Lekaki encountered fellow Ximpi Kanrii and Jedi Padawan Keeve Trennis at the meedles, a formation of tall rocks, on the planet Shuraden, while Trennis was undergoing her Jedi Trials. When a swarm of Ridadi, a species of star-locusts, appeared shortly thereafter, Lekaki was eaten by one of the Ridadi. Kanrii begged Trennis to save him, but the Padawan answered that Lekaki was dead and nothing could be done.[2]
Lekaki had blue skin, black hair, and black eyes. Lekaki had two white wings behind his back and wore brown pants.[2]

- ↑ 1.0 1.1 Star Wars: Timelines dates the events of The High Republic: Light of the Jedi to 232 BBY. The High Republic (2021) 1, in which Lekaki appears and eventually dies, also depicts the ceremony, so its events must also occur that year.
