Ima-Gun Di/Legends

"For the Republic! And for the Twi'leks!"

- Ima-Gun Di, leading his troops into battle on Ryloth

Ima-Gun Di was a male Kajain'sa' Nikto Jedi Master who served during the Clone Wars.

Biography
Master Di fought alongside Cham Syndulla on Ryloth. Ima-Gun Di's connection to the Republic Navy was through Admiral Dao. He wielded a blue lightsaber during the Clone Wars. Ima-Gun Di was at one point engaged on Ryloth, fighting for the Twi'lek's freedom from Separatist occupation their homeworld. Running desperately low on supplies, Admiral Dao contacted the Jedi command on Coruscant through General Di, and Mace Windu sent Senator Bail Organa to Toydaria to negotiate permission to send aid to the Twi'leks.

Meanwhile, the general used explosives to seal of all the alleys of attack except for one narrow rock channel, which forced the battle droids into a bottleneck. This gave the Twi'leks a chance to escape over the mountains. Ima-Gun Di's men were quickly mowed down by the droids, leaving Di and clone captain Keeli to continue fighting. After the death of the Keeli, Di continued to fight to the last, but was overwhelmed and brutally murdered by volleys of blasterfire in the stomach, back, chest, and head. His forces defeated, Di died, but his sacrifice was not in vain, as the Twi'leks managed to escape and received the aid of food and medical supplies from the Republic.

Behind the scenes
In a CartoonNetwork.com exculsive, Dave Filoni said the Ima-Gun's name was designed to sound like "Ima Gonna Die", which is exactly what happens to him. Di was voiced by Robin Atkin Downes, who also voiced Cham Syndulla in the Jedi's premiere episode.
