    Palpatine
    I don't know how much longer I can hold off the vote, my friends. More and more star systems are joining the separatists.
    Mace Windu
    If they do break away -
    Palpatine
    No! I will not let that happen!
    Mace Windu
    But if they do, you must realise there aren't enough Jedi to protect the Republic. We are keepers of the peace, not soldiers.
    Palpatine
    Master Yoda, do you think it will really come to war?
    Yoda
    Worse than war, I fear... Much worse.
    Palpatine
    What?
    Mace Windu
    What do you sense, Master?
    Yoda
    Impossible to see ... The Dark Side clouds everything. But this I am sure of... Do their duty the Jedi will.

    Yoda
    With you the force is strong... young Senator. To see you alive brings warm feeling to my heart.
    Padme Amidala
    Thank you, Master Yoda. Do you have any idea who was behind the attack?
    Mace Windu
    Our intelligence points to disgruntled spice miners, on the moons of Naboo.
    Padme Amidala
    I don't wish to disagree but I think that Count Dooku was behind it.
    Mace Windu
    You know, M'Lady, Count Dooku was once a Jedi. He wouldn't assassinate anyone, it is not in his character.
    Ki-Adi-Mundi
    He is a political idealist, not a murderer.
    Yoda
    In dark times nothing is what it appears to be, but the fact remains Senator, in grave danger you are.
    Palpatine
    Count Dooku has always avoided any kind of conflict. It appears he has no desire to start a war. Why would he kill you? To what end?
    Padme Amidala
    I don't know, but everything in my being tells me he was behind it...
    Palpatine
    Master Jedi, may I suggest that the Senator be placed under the protection of your graces.
    Bail Organa
    Do you think that is a wise use of manpower during these stressful times?
    Padme Amidala
    Chancellor, if I may comment, I do not believe the...
    Palpatine
    ..."situation is that serious." No, but I do, Senator.
    Padme Amidala
    Chancellor, please! I don't want any more guards!
    Palpatine
    I realise all too well that additional security might be disruptive for you, but perhaps someone you are familiar with... an old friend like... Master Kenobi...
    Mace Windu
    That's possible. He has just returned from a Border dispute on Ansion.
    Palpatine
    You must remember him, M'Lady... he watched over you during the blockade conflict.
    Padme Amidala
    This is not necessary, Chancellor.
    Palpatine
    Do it for me, M'Lady, please. I will rest easier. We had a big scare today. The thought of losing you is unbearable.
    Mace Windu
    I will have Obi-Wan report to you immediately, M'Lady.
    Yoda
    Too little about yourself you worry, Senator, and too much about politics. Be mindful of your danger, Padme. Accept our help.

Summary
Ki-Adi-Mundi was a Force-sensitive male Cerean Jedi Master of the Jedi Order who served on the High Council in the twilight years of the Galactic Republic and played a major role in several battles during the Clone Wars. Born in 92 BBY, Mundi was discovered at age four by the Jedi An'ya Kuro and became one of the few permitted by the Jedi Order to be trained starting beyond infancy. After more than two decades as a Padawan to Master Yoda, Mundi was named a Jedi Knight and returned to Cerea to liberate his home village from a gang of raiders. Assigned the Jedi Watchman of the Cerean sector, Mundi was granted a rare exception to the Jedi Order's ban on marriage due to his species' low birth rate and had a polygamous family of five wives and seven children, although he tried to avoid developing emotional attachments to them. Like many Cereans of his generation, Mundi favored his homeworld's isolation from the galaxy, speaking out against off-worlder technology and encouraging Cerea to maintain their independence from the Republic. Mundi was held in high regard by members of the Jedi High Council, on which he occasionally sat in during the absence of Master Micah Giiett. He was eventually offered a permanent seat on the Council despite not yet having obtained the rank of Jedi Master. Before accepting, Mundi rescued his daughter Sylvn from the captivity of an agent of the crime lord Jabba the Hutt, and in doing so uncovered a secret Cerean smuggling ring and illegal Trade Federation activities. Shortly after formally joining the Council in 33 BBY, Mundi was sent to seek the lost Jedi Sharad Hett on Tatooine. Following Hett's death, Mundi agreed to continue the Jedi training of his son, A'Sharad Hett.
While Mundi and Hett grew close, the Cerean eventually agreed to turn his training over to Kuro after Hett felt tempted by the dark side of the Force during a lightsaber duel with bounty hunter Aurra Sing. As the Confederacy of Independent Systems uprising threatened the stability of the Republic, Mundi was among the Jedi dispatched to Geonosis in 22 BBY to confront the Separatist Droid Army, marking the beginning of the Clone Wars. Now a Jedi General commanding the Galactic Marines branch of the Grand Army of the Republic, Mundi participated in several major battles, including the battle of Hypori, where he barely survived a lightsaber duel against General Grievous. Mundi's entire family was killed during the Battle of Cerea, but the Jedi overcame his grief by further committing to his Jedi duties. He briefly assumed the Jedi training of Anakin Skywalker following Obi-Wan Kenobi's presumed death.
Mundi also dueled the Dark Jedi Asajj Ventress on Coruscant after exposing a spy from within the Galactic Senate working with her. Along with Kenobi and Luminara Unduli, Mundi led an assault against several Separatist battle droid foundries on Geonosis. Following the assault Mundi earned the "everlasting respect" of Anakin Skywalker, as Mundi killed a total of 65 droids and Geonosians during the assault. As the Clone Wars approached conclusion, Mundi suggested to the Jedi High Council that Supreme Chancellor Palpatine may have become too powerful and that the Jedi Order might need to assume control of the Republic for an interim period until a transition of power could commence. Mundi was leading the Galactic Marines to battle on Mygeeto in 19 BBY when Palpatine began the Great Jedi Purge with Order 66, resulting in Mundi being shot to death by his own clone troopers.
