Nahdar Vebb/Legends

"Congratulations on passing the trails..." "You were missed master, but it is an honor to finally serve beside you as a knight."

- Kit Fisto and Nahdar Vebb after arriving on Vassek

Nahdar Vebb was a male Mon Calamari who served as the Jedi Padawan of Jedi Master Kit Fisto prior to the Clone Wars. After achieving the rank of Jedi Knight, while on a mission to Vassek Moon with his Master, Vebb confronted the famed Jedi killer General Grievous and like many other Jedi during the war, died at his hand.

Biography
"I have been waiting for this". "Nahdar!"

- Nahdar about to confront General Grievous without Kit Fisto.

Nahdar Vebb was the second Mon Calamari Padawan learner that was assigned to Kit Fisto, though unlike his predecessor Bant Eerin, Vebb was male. Strangely, Fisto had intended not to take another apprentice after Eerin became a Jedi Knight, yet revoked this intention to train Nahdar.

During the Clone Wars, after attaining the rank of Jedi Knight, Vebb accompanied Master Fisto on a mission to the Vassek moon where the pair and their squad of clone troopers discovered General Grievous' lair. Unsurprisingly, the group encountered the Separatist General within.



Despite Grievous' terrifying reputation, Nahdar fought him, wielding a blue lightsaber, with only a handful of clone troopers to reinforce him. Vebb believed that Grievous would be unable to defeat him, Fisto and the clone troopers. Nahdar dueled the cyborg General only to find his and Grievous' blades locked together. The General fired from a hidden blaster, and shot Vebb several times in the chest, killing Fisto's former apprentice. Fisto went to escape but ran straight into Grievous, He managed to slice a hand off then Fisto would pick up Nahdar's lightsaber and wield it with his own, dueling Grievous in a desperate attempt to finish what Vebb had started. Fisto was unsuccessful and retreated from the battle and made his escape on his fighter.



Nahdar's death was later discussed by Fisto, Yoda and Mace Windu after Fisto's return to Coruscant. The Jedi masters remarked that while Nahdar's heart had been in the right place it had been wrong of him to face Grievous.

Behind the Scenes
Nahdar Vebb was voiced by Tom Kenny.

Vebb's first name, Nahdar, could be derived from the Spanish word "Nadar," which means "to swim." His last name, Vebb, could be a reworking of the word "web" (as in webbed feet) appropriate for an amphibian species.
