Talk: Ki-Adi-Mundi/Legends

Age

Ki-Adi cannot be that old. He was four years old when entering the Jedi temple, after being discovered by the human An'ya Kuro! That happened 67 BBY, so he must be born in 71 BBY, right? --84.172.236.136 21:38, 27 May 2005 (UTC)

• I went ahead and added your proposed birth date. What sources do you have on this? --Imperialles 21:46, 27 May 2005 (UTC)
  • The "vow of justice" comic appearance of young Ki-Adi-Mundi. According to jedinet.com, vow of justice takes place 67BBY. --Gen.d 21:55, 27 May 2005 (UTC)
    • Great, thanks --Imperialles 21:57, 27 May 2005 (UTC)
    • Does the source itself say that? Or just jedinet.com?--SparqMan 22:03, 27 May 2005 (UTC)
    • If this is correct, then An'ya Kuro's birthdate can be dropped back a bit. She's only in her twenties when she finds Ki-Adi-Mundi. QuentinGeorge 22:48, 27 May 2005 (UTC)
    • Actually, re-reading the comic. Vow of Justice is also about a newly-knighted Ki-Adi-Mundi returning to Cerea. He'd be in his twenties then. It's probably this, and not the "flashback" at the beginning of the comic, that the date is referring to. QuentinGeorge 23:19, 27 May 2005 (UTC)
      • Oh well, 73 years of age isn't that old. --Imperialles 06:59, 28 May 2005 (UTC)
• He was a knight but later became a master —Unsigned comment by Cadapa (talk • contribs)
  • Obviously, there's stilla problem with it. The article still says he was born 92 BBY, and Anaya Kuro's article says she was born circa 100 BBY. Are we suggesting she discovered him when she was around 8 years old? :p LelalMekha 12:50, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

Ki-Adi-Mundi's saber color

In Jedi Power Battles, Ki-Adi-Mundi saber is blue, and the Ki-Adi-Mundi Episode I Action Figure has a blue saber. Therefore, in Episode I Ki-Adi-Mundi had a blue lightsaber, right? —Unsigned comment by 209.175.47.162 (talk • contribs)

• Well see the problem is those were made before Episode II (the first time we saw Ki-Adi's lightsaber), so nobody knew what color it was. I suppose he could've gotten a different one in between episodes (there might be an EU story on that, I'm not sure). MarcK 19:16, 15 Sep 2005 (UTC)
• Actually, what lightsaber style did KI-Adi-Mundi use??? User:General Secura
• Pre-Ep. II lightsabers shouldn't be taken into consideration unless blue or green, correct? There were no other colors in the old Order... --Master Starkeiller 20:06, 20 Oct 2005 (UTC)
  • Not exactly. I believe pre-Ep2 lightsaber colours are still canon for the period they appear in.QuentinGeorge 20:34, 20 Oct 2005 (UTC)
    • his saber color during the phantom menace was GREEN! then like all jedi when he became a master he switched it to blue! —Unsigned comment by 151.199.34.199 (talk • contribs)
      • Rubbish. Qui-Gon Jinn and Yoda had a green lightsaber as a Master. Color has nothing to do with rank. QuentinGeorge 20:17, 22 Oct 2005 (UTC)
        • i kno it has nothing to do with rank but when a jedi is put on the council they change there blade and sometimes color! he went from green to blue! —Unsigned comment by 68.160.36.252 (talk • contribs)
        • No, his old saber was purple. He never wielded a green blade, except when he temporarily had one at Geonosis. QuentinGeorge 20:29, 23 Oct 2005 (UTC)
          • it was temporialy at the battle someone messed up and instead of a flash of blue they put green in! —Unsigned comment by 68.160.36.252 (talk • contribs)

• Mace Windu isn't the only jedi to have a purple lightsabre, several others do! An'ya Kuro, the Dark Woman is one example. Anakin Solo, Jaina Solo, J'mikel, the anx jedi.. And yes, Ki-Adi-Mundi was depicted with a violet lightsaber during his search for Sharad Hett prior to Episode I, so presumably he made the change to blue upon ascension to the council or he was forced to. He use a green saber he took from grievous at hypori, and also once at geonosis. 83.71.62.145 15:03, December 15, 2009 (UTC)

Mundi's Lightsaber Form

In what source does it say that Ki-Adi is a master of Form II? Not to toot my own horn, but I consider myself relatively knowledgable about which Jedi practice which of the forms. As for this case, I had thought that Form II was a form relatively abandoned by the Jedi since the time of the old Sith, when Jedi could actually expect to engage in one on one lightsaber combat with a Sith. Even Dooku, as far as I know, only started practicing this form AFTER he came under the tutelage of Sidious. In the case of Mundi, I can't recall having heard any information on which form he uses, least of all Makashi/Form II. The only notable thing I've heard about his lightsaber technique is that for the most part, he wields his saber in one hand, instead of the more common dual-handed grip.--Knightfall 00:36, 3 Dec 2005 (UTC)

• No idea where that comes from. It seems unlikely, since Dooku's mastership of Form II is considered very rare. QuentinGeorge 00:41, 3 Dec 2005 (UTC)
  • Shall we remove it from the article then?--Knightfall 00:50, 3 Dec 2005 (UTC)
• We have not seen him fighting much. My bet is that he is the practitioner of Ataru. From what we saw of him in EpIII, he was acrobatic, considering his age at least. - TopAce 11:30, 3 Dec 2005 (UTC)
  • Wait Wait wait, i always thought ki-adi-mundi was either master or practitioner (at laest) of form 2. i dont know where i got that from, i probably haerd it around. but look at him on genosis. granted, he doesnt use swift, graceful moves like dooko- or even of someone you would think practices form 2....ataru, then? i dunno, email george lucas about it, or something. hes not all taht acrobatic in Revenge of the Sith. he was just deflecting the bolts as you would expect him to, given his level of skill and obviously large testicle size (FOUR WIVES![pimp...])

-yoda1300, 1/13/06, 8:37 am, (eastern standard time)

• • p.s.- dooko was the man for mastering makashi

-yoda1300

• • new proof he did not master makashi(form II):

Cereans had bad coordination. Makashi requires extreme precision, grace, and coordination. How then could he have practiced makashi? he would've been horrible, and therefore, he must have either practiced or mastered ataru, since he was Yoda's padawan. Yoda's the man. -Yoda1300

• • • Cereans probably had bad coordination, but Ki-Adi was a Jedi Master.. that changes on things. Remember that a 82-year-old is normally nor as quick as Dooku for example. - TopAce 20:21, 15 Jan 2006 (UTC)
      • being a jedi master doesnt exempt him from having bad coordination. thats like saying that since mace was a master, he could fully control his feelings; he couldnt, he just channelled them into a light feeling. his bad coordination is something within his blood, above the force.Yoda1300 22:15, 15 Jan 2006 (UTC)
• he lasted a long time against grievous. few ever did. he's a possible form III practitioner —Unsigned comment by 69.238.99.249 (talk • contribs)
• Actually this is a good point especially since he lasted so long in the Arena In AOTC and held his own against so many clones in ROTS, he's very likely a Form 3 user, but as Darth Vatrir pointed out we need a source. Jacenskylo 22:38, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
  • We need a source stating his lightsaber form, speculation won't cut it. Darth Vatrir
• According to Star Wars: The Clone Wars Character Encyclopedia his official style is Ataru. Jacenskylo 06:47, June 22, 2010 (UTC)
• I haven't used a wiki before so I apologize if I enter this information incorrectly. That being said, Ki-Adi-Mundi is stated as a Makashi user in Star Wars: The Clone Wars Season 2 DVD set. When watching the making of "Landing at Point Rain" hosted by Dave Filoni and crew, a character card appears listing Ki-Adi's stats and such. It lists his fighting form as "Makashi." Considering how many inaccuracies are featured in the various encyclopedias and cross section books, I'm going to go with Dave Filoni and George Lucas on this one and call Ki-Adi-Mundi a Makashi user. Not only is this what I consider the official word on the subject, but it also matches up with how we see Ki-Adi fight in both movies and in his deleted scenes from the movies. 69.254.38.70 19:24, December 5, 2010 (UTC)Calibretto9
• From watching his fight scene in Ep3 it certainly looks like Makashi,based on the description on the Makashi page "Form II emphasized fluid movement and anticipation of a weapon being swung at its target, and so required very smooth motion of both the blade and the body, and practitioners often wielded the blade one-handed for a greater range of movement. Timing and accuracy were relied-upon to defeat one's opponent, rather than strength", this seems to fit exactly with what we see on screen. Mrharol 17:38, March 10, 2011 (UTC)
• So, er, is anyone going to change his lightsaber form from Ataru to Makashi? I agree with Calibretto9, if the DVD says Ki-Adi is a Makashi practitioner, then he is a Makashi practitioner. Who stated it was Ataru? DK? (Rolls eyes) Like they've never got lightsaber forms inaccurate before. I forward the motion to have Makashi replace Ataru as Ki-Adi Mundi's lightsaber form.90.196.98.77 17:25, March 20, 2011 (UTC)

Can someone provide a direct scan/link for the stat card that lists Mundi as a Makashi practitioner? The Clone Wars Character Encyclopedia states that Mundi uses Ataru, I can provide the screenshot if proof is required. IIRC, Threats of the Galaxy also says that Mundi used Soresu. MaceWindu190 (talk) 19:29, October 8, 2019 (UTC)

First to die?

This is really a minor issue, but can we safely assume that Ki-Adi was one of the first Jedi to die? That the movie shows him die first does not unconditionally mean he was truly the first to die. Remember that there are only a few (four) Jedi who are shown die, the order in which they are killed probably means nothing in the movie. I see no logical explanation why Palpatine first issued the order to Commander Cody against Obi-Wan, why not against Yoda? The only Jedi who could probably be match for him? I don't remove this line... why? I just think I could ask it. - TopAce 11:54, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

• Well think about it: the order is given once (says the book), and that means that millions of commanders and their troops all over the galaxy aim and shoot at their particular jedi general. In those 2 seconds, think of how many die at once. Most likely no one knows who was the first to die, because hundreds-maybe thousands- died within mili-seconds of eachother. It's tough to say. My guess is that the reason they showed his particular death is because of all the input he had throughout the movie. Eon Kaaz 20:33, 15 March 2006 (UTC)
• Yes, he was the only one with his lightsaber activated, and thus most recognizable as a Jedi. To the casual movie-goer, Aayla hardly has the appearance of a Jedi Knight, and Plo Koon might be seen simply as a Republic pilot rather than a Jedi - since, in this time of Jedi Interceptors, his older-style Delta-7 may not be linked directly with the Jedi by some - Kwenn 16:09, 23 April 2006 (UTC)
  • I removed this "he was one of the FIRST to die" thing, since we cannot safely say he was chronologically one of the first to die. That he is shown to be the first to die does not mean he was the first of the thousands of Jedi to be shot. If you have any problems with that, feel free to discuss it here. - TopAce 10:59, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
    • It is likely that all the jedi who they showed dying died at the same time. I think order 66 was sent out to every battalion of clone troops as a mass message. Then again the clone that ordered the attack on obi wan responded. --Dumac 19:32, 2 July 2006 (UTC)
      • The clone troopers that wipe out Ki-Adi Mundi do not appear to wait for any kind of opportune moment. Some clone troopers across the galaxy must have waited for the right moment or have hesitated for another reason. The ones who killed Ki-Adi Mundi would have been among the first to execute Order 66. But... Darth Sideous is shown personally addressing Commander Cody in the film. So, it would seem Commander Cody got his orders before all Clone troopers across the galaxy simultaneously received theirs. Beside the Fact: Though not a Jedi, Boga was the first casualty of Order 66 presented in the film.Matty McRib (talk) 05:55, December 16, 2013 (UTC)

Knight or Master?

In Episode III, Anakin said that one couldn't be on the Jedi council and not be a Master, and that it never happened in the history of the Jedi. But wasn't Ki-Adi only a Knight when he became a member of the Jedi Council? —Unsigned comment by Son of Suns (talk • contribs)

• He was only a knight. That line from Ep.III always got on my nerves because it was false. I don't know how Anakin could've not known something like that. Lanne Thel-Tanis 17:55, 23 January 2009 (UTC)

• I was just about to comment on this. I think that Anakin just didnt know. How would you have known unless you really had intimate knowledge of the Jedi council? He was only 9 when KAM was on the council, so he may not have realized it. I see no continuity issue at all. Obiwan had no reason or need to be a smartass and correct him because it wouldnt contribute anything to the convo.--Dmitry Zhukov (talk) 23:20, November 11, 2012 (UTC)

Aayla Secura

This article says that Ki-Adi-Mundi is the onlyone of his strike team to survive the attack from General Grievous on Hypori. It states that he is accompanied by Shaak Ti, Tarr Seirr, K'Kruhk, Sha'a Gi, Daakman Barrek, and relevant here, Aayla Secura. I can say for a fact that the blue Twi'lek killed on the flowered plant of Felucia after the initiation of Order 66 is in fact Aayla Secura. In the Clone Wars animated series, we only see General Grievous's arrival and intimidation of the Jedi strike team. She is also a playable character in the video game Star Wars Battlefront 2, on the same planet. I don't feel I have the authority to change this, so I request that this be changed... Darth Orrorin 15:58, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

• It says only that he was the last one standing—which is true, since Shaak, K'Kruhk and Aayla were wounded in the battle - Kwenn 16:07, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

Why is Ki-Adi's appointment to the Council as a Knight still regarded as canon?

Hi. Look, forgive the new guy; I freely admit that I'm not entirely clear how the canon system here works in practice, but my understanding is that in principle any source which is later contradicted by something in an actual film is automatically decanonised, right? Okay, so, in light of that I don't understand why Ki-Adi's status as a knight when inducted into the High Council (especially since this was never actually mentioned in any film) hasn't been automatically overwritten by Ep.III's very un-ambiguous declaration that no one's ever been appointed to the council without being a Master (before Anakin) in the entire "history of the Jedi Order". So, why does that not retcon Ki-Adi being a Knight upon his appointment? Is there some loophole reason which isn't stated here in his file? If so, it should be here. If not, shouldn't we delete the satement that he was a knight at the time? Because otherwise it strikes me as a clear violation of a higher level of canon (RotS).

On a similar note, I'm sure I read in some official roleplaying book or guide to characters that they got around the "no attachments" problem with his previously-established family by stating that there was a "low Cerean birthrate" and thus he'd been given special dispensation. Does anyone know where this is from? Because I think it should be in his file too if it's canon. Hope some people can help me out on these issues.

Thanks, DarthBinks.

• It will probably be retconned at some point in the future, but you never know. —Unsigned comment by 58.169.1.120 (talk • contribs)
• Actually, I would like to point out something. Anakin's actual quote is:

"How can I be in the Council, and not be a Master? That hasn't happened in the history of the Jedi Order since-"

(Boldface mine)

Obviously, there has been someone before him inducted into the Council as a Knight. But Anakin seems to think it was a long time ago. If Ki-Adi was inducted a long time ago, then this is the solution. Nick sponge 11:08, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

• • Ki-Adi-Mundi was inducted in 32 BBY. Definitely not long ago. QuentinGeorge 11:28, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
    • Quentin's right on. If Anakin makes his comment in 19 BBY, this makes Mundi's acceptance only 13 years ago, which means Anakin himself was ALIVE when it happened. :-) BaronGrackle 11:34, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
      • Personally, I understand the notion Anakin could have had his facts wrong. However, I'm of the belief this is one of the cases where the EU jumped the gun to give Ki-Adi a unique angle for his solo stories and it's contradicted where Lucas chose to go. I find it funny a Star Wars Wiki is pussyfooting around this whilst the more well known Wikipedia is able to just accept this is an occassion of the EU being proven wrong and how this part of his EU history has been retconned to the idea his promotion to master was pending during the stories he's referred to as the only night on the council. At the end of the day, the movies are THE canon. Don't let love or a desire to justify the money you've paid out for novels, comics etc make you put more worth in the EU than it deserves. If the movies say being a master and being on the council go hand in hand, it's fact.--80.1.88.15 00:15, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
        • In his frustration Anakin probably just exaggerated or made a mistake.--Darth Oblivion 00:26, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
          • Well, certainly people don't speak in 100% accurate truthful statments (It's following 'logic' such as that which has some fans questioning Kenobi's "I haven't gone by that name since, oh, before you were born" line, ignoring that he's generalising and also trying to keep certain key things hidden from Luke) and it is quite possible Anakin was mistaken or twisting facts due to his anger. However, nothing in the films says Ki-Adi was a knight. That's all backstory created for the EU and reference books. From the films, all we can really assume is he's just another vocal Master on the council and that seems to be the direction Lucas went. I personally think the article would be wise to address it as such, not just jumping to the conclusion Anakin was wrong to please the EU fans.--80.1.184.120 10:06, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
          • It's also notable that Obi-Wan doesn't correct Anakin when he makes the statement that it's never been done before, instead reassuring him that the situation is like nothing that has ever come before. -BaronGrackle 00:58, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
  • With regard to the retcon, there's an interesting exchange in Republic #8, where The Dark Woman asks "Perhaps I should call you 'Master Ki' now", and Ki answers "No--not a Master... and barely on the Council". This suggests that Ki could have claimed the title of Master automatically by virtue of his Council seat, and we can easily accept that he's being cautious and Cerean about going through an automatic process of promotion. The Databank also picks up on "barely on the Council" by stressing that his position only became permanent after Outlander. Seen in these terms, Anakin's protest in RotS makes sense: Anakin shows no surprise about being raised to the Council as a knight, which shows that this has happened before; but whereas Ki took promotion slowly and cautiously, Anakin would have just seized the title if the Council hadn't blocked him, showing Anakin's ego in nice contrast to Ki's restraint. Does this make sense of the situation? --McEwok 01:26, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

  • First off, this is a dead subject...the last post was almost a year ago. Secondly, don't yell. Thirdly, Ki-Adi-Mundi was allowed to marry as detailed in Star Wars Republic: Prelude to Rebellion, and explained in the first few sentences of the article. Also, you can find the explanation in our article on Polygyny. Please read the article, or at least do some research before hand, before posting on a talk page.

Main quote

Isn't there a better one than this? It is (a)very specific to a certain context and (b) not, in my opinion, adequately descriptive of the character. Shouldn't we have one that is less context sensitive and tells us more about the character that his fighting capabilities? - Angel Blue^(Holonet) 16:30, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

Shaak Ti

Did he have a relationaship w/Ti? When she is fighting Grevious, I think she calls out his name, and he springs into action, inaddition to this, when he sees her hurt body, he seems especially aggreived (no pun intended) by her condition. Therequiembellishere 22:36, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

Only Minor Jedi with a speaking role

"Behind the Scenes" claims he is the only minor jedi character with a speaking role in the prequels. Wouldn't this include Jocasta Nu, and the Padawans in the "Yoda and the Younglings" scene as well? --ShadowEdge 03:51, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

• You're right about that. It should read something like the only minor Jedi Council character to have had a speaking role. [EDIT] I changed it, does that sound better? - TopAce 15:34, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

Death

How many clones does he actually kill/wound when he is killed during Order 66? In the movie I see one fall down, and he might have lived or died, but in the article it currently states that he wounded 2. Is there any definite source to state how many he actually did kill/wound? Roron Corobb ^holocron 15:11, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

• As far as the film shows, he definately deflects a shot into the chest of a left-hand clone, but another deflection is dodged by a clone in the middle of the bunch. It appears he doesn't manage to deflect any further shots, as he's hit in the chest immediately after. So, as far as G-canon goes, he (possibly, may just have wounded) kills only one - \\Captain Kwenn// ^{— Ahoy!} 15:33, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

Mygeeto

The RotS novel states that just prior to Obi-Wan leaving for Utapau, Ki-Adi is "en route to Mygeeto". However, Battlefront II has the battle starting prior to the invasion of Coruscant ("in the waning months of the Clone Wars" according to the 501st journal), with Mundi present. I believe also one of the Clone Wars Adventures comics ends with Mundi being assigned to Mygeeto. Also, the Databank says it was an "extended campaign". Any way we can reconcile this? - \\Captain Kwenn// ^{— Ahoy!} 11:33, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

• The Mygeeto campaign could have begun earlier, with Ki-Adi-Mundi present, and he had returned to Coruscant on some Jedi business, and the ROTS novel statement is talking about him returning to Mygeeto. Maybe? - JMAS 13:01, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

Son?

Perhaps I'm mistaken, but I only seem to recall him having daughters (in fact the point of Prelude to Rebellion was him learning to value his daughters rather than longing for a son). Just curious where the source is that says he has a son? Vryce 05:08, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

Polygamy vs. Polygyny

Would it be better to say Ki-Adi was Polygynous instead of Polygamous? ~ Jaywin

• I'd say so, yes. Unit 8311 16:45, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Both are correct in the technical sense. Poly- is a root meaning multiple, -gam refers to the act of marriage, so it could mean polygyny or polyandry, -gyn refers to females. (remember to go to the Gynecologist, girls)Amth (Enter my Mind) 06:28, 26 May 2009 (UTC)

3rd Best lightsaber duellist in the order

Any source on this one? Common sense says he’s the orders fifth best swordsman as of ROTS. He cant be better then the big 4 (Kenobi, Skywalker, Windu & Yoda) because Grevious beat him, however he also held Grevious for a long time, Grevious hammered Ventress, who outdueled Fisto etc. Also considering Lucas considered Mundi to be one of the senior triumvirate shouldn’t he be a lifetime member of the council?

• Removed that line from the "abilities and traits" section. Common knowledge (as explained by the nice gent above) and horrible grammar indicated clear fanboy-ism. 213.224.7.236 15:11, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

The original cause was probably fanboying, but this concept does hold merit in the EU. According to both the Complete Star Wars Encyclopedia, and the old SW.com Databanks, Mundi was "the upper tier" of the High Council besides Yoda & Mace. We know as per numerous statements that the Council members are the most skilled Jedi of the time, so it would logically follow that the third greatest member of the Council should be number 3 as a duelist.

Birth date

Star Wars: The Comics Companion says that Ki-Adi-Mundi was 25 in 88 BBY, making his birth date 113 BBY. The source for this is Star Wars Republic: Vow of Justice, which takes place in 88 BBY. However, our article has it in 67 BBY, and Ki being born in 92 BBY. What's up? Chack Jadson ^(Talk) 20:27, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

• Vow of Justice starts in 88 BBY with a 4 year-old Ki-Adi-Mundi being discovered by the Dark Woman and ends with Ki returning to his homeworld in 67 BBY as a 25 year-old Jedi Knight. --Borsk Fey'lya ^Talk 14:22, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Ah. Thanks for explaining it. Chack Jadson ^(Talk) 14:25, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

The Clone Wars?

• Does anyone know if there is an in-Universe reason as to why Ki-Adi-Mundi hasn't been in The Clone Wars film or TV series yet? He doesn't even seem to appear to be sitting in the High Council Chamber. If he is in fact in the series and I've missed him, could someone please add the episodes in the appearances section? Thanks, NighthawkLeader 03:24, 29 December 2008 (UTC)

Jedi Master

• In the article it states he's a jedi master at the beginning of it but it doesn't mention when he was promoted or anything else about him being a jedi master--User:DieJARJARDIE 09:52, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

Abilities

Just watched the extras for the clone wars series 2 & in a short bio it says that Ki Adi Mundi is a Makashi practitioner it also says that Mundi has VAST force powers, I think this is the way GL has always seen Mundi hence the reason he’s one of the only three councillors to speak because Mundi is a one of the elite with Yoda & Mace. —Unsigned comment by 83.100.209.55 (talk • contribs)

LIGHTSABRE FORM

Why the hell is Ataru still listed as Ki-Adi Mundi's lightsabre form? It is clearly stated in DVD (or blu-ray if have one) quality on the *bonus disc* of *series 2* of Star Wars *The Clone Wars*. Just because he stands in an Ataru stance in comics does that make him a practitioner? If that's the case then why don't we list EVERY Jedi and Sith as such because I'm sure all characters in the comics stand in that stance. The Clone Wars is a *pure canon*-source so therefore it is OFFICIAL:

• KI-ADI MUNDI IS A PRACTITIONER OF MAKASHI* Is that clear or is this going to turn into another pointless debate about rpg guides and DK "facts" (I'm being sarcastic I trust DK info about as much as I would trust a werewolf on a full moon.)
• Key Words: Bonus Disc, Series 2, The Clone Wars, Pure Canon, Ki-Adi Mundi, Makashi Practitioner

Thank you everyone, May The Force Be With You. 90.196.98.77 19:47, March 28, 2011 (UTC) Makashi Master

• If one source says Ataru and another says Makashi, can't we include both? It's not like Jedi Masters have to stick to one form. The KotOR masters knew several forms. 82.32.105.111 21:56, June 4, 2011 (UTC)

• Exactly, at least include both Forms (is Ataru even canonically sourced?) I'm sure the Clone Wars TV Series is more canon than whatever source gave you Ataru as Ki-Adi's form. It is more likely that yes, Ki-Adi Mundi was indeed a practitioner of Ataru throughout his life but by the time of the Clone Wars he was old and may have wished to study a less energy consuming Form such as Makashi, therefore making him a practitioner of both Makashi and Ataru.90.204.73.204 09:35, June 11, 2011 (UTC)MakashiMaster

After much consideration (I deleted my previous comment as I was blinded by anger) I now agree that Ki-Adi Mundi was a "flat-footed" practitioner of Ataru (possibly due to his old age) simply because I heard a statement somewhere that Count Dooku was the only Jedi of his time to fully study Form II (unsourced as I read this a few years ago). Whatever the answer is, it is suffice to say that Ki-Adi Mundi was a more-than able duellist with the Lightsaber.

Jedi can often use multiple forms. We know that Obi-Wan used Ataru as well as Soresu. It is entirely plausible for Mundi to also use several styles. The Clone Wars Character Encyclopedia lists Mundi as an Ataru user:

Can someone provide a scan/link of the stat card that says Mundi uses Makashi? MaceWindu190 (talk) 19:35, October 8, 2019 (UTC)

Neutrality is in dispute?

So who putted that tag up and whats the reasoning behind it?

• It doesn't seem like there has been any actual discussion about the neutrality of this article in here, so unless anyone objects, I'm going to remove the tag. If there IS a serious dispute about neutrality, we can certainly discuss it in here though... — Hunter Kahn 15:38, August 12, 2018 (UTC)

Source for Mundi and Agen’s Parity as Lightsaber duelists?

Where did that Mundi is second only to Yoda and rivaled only by Agen Kolar in Ataru statement come from? The source is listed as The Complete Star Wars Season 2 but I’ve gone through and haven’t found it?

Also here is a good quote to add to his powers and abilities:

Unfortunately, they also tended to be lacking in physical coordination, something Mundi was able to compensate for with his Force-attuned insight - he was considered one of the top ten lightsaber duellists of his age. -Star Wars: The Official Starships & Vehicles Collection 25

Name

Does anyone else think the name might come from the animal coatimundi? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coati
