Sar Labooda/Legends

Sar Labooda was a female Chalactan Jedi Knight in the waning years of the Galactic Republic, sister of Jedi Master and Council member Depa Billaba.

Biography
Sar Labooda's parents were killed by space pirates when she was very young, though she and her sister, Depa Billaba were spared. She and Depa were then rescued by Mace Windu and brought to the Jedi Temple for training. Depa was trained by Mace himself and would become a respected Jedi Master on the Jedi High Council. The sisters were likely separated as younglings by the Jedi to prevent them from getting too close to each other.

She stood with Senator Yudrish Sedran in their homeworld of Chalacta stance in opposition to the Military Creation Act. Sar Labooda was also part of the rescue team that was sent to Geonosis. She fought valiantly in the ensuing battle and destroyed many of the separatist battle droids, but in the end her Form VI lightsaber technique proved insufficient to ensure her survival. She died in later battle stages of the battle just before the final Jedi circle began to form.

Personality and traits
Like her sister Depa Billaba, Sar Labooda was considered one of the most insightful Jedi of her time. She was very peaceful and was against war.

Powers and abilities
Labooda was a practitioner of Niman and used a green lightsaber. Like many of the Niman users fighting in the Battle of Geonosis, she died due to her insufficient skill against blasters.

Behind the scenes
The character who eventually took the name was actually intended to be Depa Billaba, using a replacement actress when Dipika O'Neill Joti could not reprise the role. However, the "new" Depa looked dissimilar enough to warrant the creation of a new character. Due to this, one of the Jedi in Star Wars: Galactic Battlegrounds: Clone Campaigns present at the Battle of Geonosis is incorrectly identified as Depa Billaba. A similar incident happened with Agen Kolar and Stass Allie, originally intended to be Eeth Koth and Adi Gallia, respectively.

The Jedi Master Coleman Trebor was also originally named Sar Labooda.
