Luminara Unduli was a Mirialan Jedi Master and General of the Old Republic during the time of the Clone Wars. Her last Padawan was Barriss Offee.

Luminara had become a Master in the years prior to the Battle of Naboo. Like Offee, her previous Padawans had all been natives of Mirial, as their culture had a requirement that any children given to the Jedi Order were to be trained by Mirialan masters.

Luminara and Offee fought alongside each other on many occasions. On Ansion, with Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker, they foiled a plot by the Commerce Guild to force a secession of a vital world. Luminara and Barris were later part of the strike force to sent to rescue Obi-Wan and Anakin, and as a result fought in the Battle of Geonosis.

During the Clone Wars, she served as a Senior General; the Sector Army under her command included the 9th Assault Corps. Luminara's last mission alongside her Padawan was at Ilum. After this, and a similar mission on Drongar, Barriss ascended to the rank of Jedi Knight, and the two rarely crossed paths from then on.

She possessed power that very few Jedi would be able to overcome. She had amazing lightsaber skills, as she was a master of Form III. Not only were her lightsaber skills superb, but she had also trained herself to become so incredibly flexible that she could easily twist to evade almost any attack that she did not block with her green lightsaber. These skills were in tandem with her apprentice, Offee, who had always been by her side.

Her lower lip was stained a permanent purplish-black, and a series of interlocking black diamond-shaped tattoos covered her chin, while more intricate markings covered her knuckle joints. These were Mirialan signs of her dedication to physical discipline. Her eyes were of an intense blue color, a contrast to her olive-colored skin, that gave the Jedi Master a serene, outworldly look.

While discussing a plan of action with her clone battalion during the Battle of Kashyyyk, she was killed by those same clones after the initiation of Order 66 by Emperor Palpatine.
