"The initial assault claimed 32 clones, all from the 43rd 'Killer-Aiwha' Battalion, and there are three confirmed Jedi deaths: Dalnus Cam, Sana-Jis Ilowa, and Rallcema Bylissura."
―HoloNet News Core Edition report[4]

Sana-Jis Ilowa was a female Human Jedi Knight serving the Jedi Order during the waning years of the Galactic Republic. Like many Jedi of the era, Ilowa took up the rank of General during the Clone Wars. She was killed during the Battle of Jabiim by the Separatist Droid Army.

Biography

A Force-sensitive female Human, Sana-Jis Ilowa was a member of Jedi Order during the laste years of the Galactic Republic. After training in the ways of the Force, Ilowa eventually became a Jedi Knight.[5]

When the Clone Wars erupted across the galaxy, Ilowa dutifully accepted her role as a General in the Grand Army of the Republic to counter the droid army of the Confederacy of Independent Systems. During the war, Ilowa was assigned to assist in the massive defense of Jabiim. During the fighting, Ilowa was stationed at Shelter Base with fellow Jedi Dalnus Cam and Rallcema Bylissura. The Separatists laid waste to the base, ending Ilowa's life.[3]

Behind the scenes

"Yes, those are the three Jedi we see in the comic, but we never determined which name went to which character."

A possible depiction of Sana-Jis Ilowa

It is possible Ilowa was the female Human Jedi who, while using the Force in an attempt to free a Republic walker stuck in the mud, was stabbed in the back with a sword by Alto Stratus, but that may have also been Rallcema Bylissura. Alternately, either Ilowa or Bylissura may have been the female Human Jedi who incorrectly reported all clear at Shelter Base just before the Separatist attack.[6]
