Biography

After she was taken by a recruiter of the Jedi Order's Acquisition Division, Amithest was sorted into the Bear Clan upon her arrival. As she entered the academy at the Temple, she received her early education from her clan leader, Grand Master Yoda. During one of the clan's daily lightsaber instructional courses on the Temple's veranda, Master Obi-Wan Kenobi approached Grand Master Yoda with a question. It appeared the Temple's Archives were incomplete and missing a system. One of Amithest's peers, J. K. Burtola, suggested that someone had erased the files, thereby explaining the archives' incompleteness.^[2]

Original script

Originally, Mari Amithest was one of the Jedi children that was given a speaking part and was merely identified as "Jedi Child May" in the script.^[4] Her brief speaking role in the drafts took place after Jedi Master Yoda asked the Bear Clan to give possible reasons regarding the planet Kamino's absence from the archive maps. Her reply to Obi-Wan Kenobi's question was: "If the planet blew up, the gravity would go away."^[5] However, these lines were cut from the final version of the film.
