Jocasta Nu/Legends

"Are you having a problem?"

- Jocasta Nu

Jocasta Nu (c. 100 BBY – 19 BBY) was the Chief Librarian of the Jedi Archives at the time of the Clone Wars with a penchant for being a bit overconfident in the completeness of her Archives. Her patterned robes bore the symbols of the Ansata, representing her devotion to knowledge and learning.

Biography
As a young Jedi Knight, Jocasta had served as an archaeologist for the Jedi ExplorCorps. During that time, she trained many Padawans, including the future Emperor's Hand, Jerec. For decades after her service, she wore her lightsaber at all times, in memory of her time as an active field agent of the order.

In 52 BBY, Jocasta Nu stepped down after spending more than 10 years as member of the Jedi Council. She took up the mantle of Librarian.

During her position of Chief Librarian, she gathered a very precise and extensive knowledge of the galaxy. She often gave advice to Jedi Knights who were looking for information about the planets they were sent to on a mission. During these years, her confidence in the Archives was whole, claiming that if something is not in the Archives, then it does not exist. This statement was belied when Obi-Wan Kenobi did not find Kamino in the Archives. Thankfully to Madame Nu's experience, she immediately knew that only a Jedi Master could have accessed the files and deleted them.

She knew Count Dooku quite well, and claimed him to be one of the greatest Jedi of all time.

She served as Archives Director for over 30 years.

During the raid of the Jedi Temple during the Great Jedi Purge, Jocasta endeavored to save as many Younglings as possible, telling them to hide in the Council chambers. She faced Darth Vader when he invaded the temple, drawing her blue lightsaber. The Dark Lord stabbed Jocasta through the chest after she denied access to the Temple's signal beacon, killing her instantly.

Her efforts to hide the Younglings were in vain. Vader found and slaughtered every last one.

Behind the scenes
She appears in neither the movie nor the novelization of Revenge of the Sith, but her death is confirmed to have been by Darth Vader in the exact way it is described above.

Jocasta Nu was played by Alethea McGrath who also voiced her in the Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith video game, in which she is killed in a cut-scene by Darth Vader.
