The Truth About Who Killed Jedi Master Luminara & Order 66 Gets Dark

Executing Jedi Master Luminara Unduli and then using her remains to lure other Jedi to their deaths is undoubtedly one of the Empire's worst crimes, taking advantage of Luminara's remains and her connection to the Force. While it doesn't get much darker than that for "Star Wars," the Empire's plan ultimately backfired, giving Luminara the rest she so desperately deserved.

In "Star Wars Rebels," Kanan Jarrus (Freddie Prinze Jr.) and the rest of the Ghost crew catch wind of Luminara being held prisoner in the Stygeon system and decide to mount a rescue mission for the Jedi Master that Kanan looked up to as a Padawan. Naturally, Kanan and Ezra Bridger fall into the Empire's trap, barely escaping from the Grand Inquisitor with their lives. Understanding the full picture of Luminara's fate, Kanan spreads a message across the galaxy that she is dead, exposing the Empire's sick tactics and ensuring they could no longer use her remains to kill anyone else.

While revenge goes against the Jedi code, Luminara eventually gets just that, helping Rey (Daisy Ridley) defeat Palpatine (Ian McDiarmid) during the Battle of Exegol in "Star Wars: Episode IX – The Rise of Skywalker." Her voice is one of the many Jedi of the past who reach out to Rey, urging her to accept light side destiny and destroying Palpatine and the remains of the Empire once and for all.
