Biography[]

The character of Ki-Adi-Mundi was created by writer, director, and producer George Lucas.
Yeah, he looks like one of the Coneheads. Perhaps they should have renamed the movie Attack of the Cones, eh?
A possible blooper involving Ki-Adi-Mundi takes place in Attack of the Clones during the Battle of Geonosis. His lightsaber changes colors from green to blue between scenes. This could actually be explained off as his first saber being damaged or lost, and then replaced with another as the battle progressed. Rumor has it, that various boy band members managed to wander into the arena and were doling out lightsabers willy-nilly.
Final fate: Ki-Adi-Mundi was killed as part of Order 66. He was leading an assault against Separatist forces on Mygeeto when his clone commander, Bacarra, received the command from Darth Sidious to exterminate the Jedi. Mundi was overwhelmed by blaster fire and killed.
Ki-Adi-Mundi is the first named Jedi to be struck down as a result of Order 66.
In the original "Legends" continuity, Ki-Adi-Mundi was only a Jedi Knight and not a Jedi Master, which made him the first member of the order to sit on the Jedi Council without being a master. By the end of the trilogy however, this detail was done away when Anakin Skywalker became the first Jedi to sit on the council with having first achieved the rank of master.
