Bene/Legends

Bene was a female Human Jedi Padawan and Commander during the Clone Wars.

Biography
During the final days of the Republic, Bene was stationed at the Jedi Temple on Coruscant. She was fencing in the Room of a Thousand Fountains with fellow Padawan Whie Malreaux under the tutelage of Swordmaster Cin Drallig when the Temple was attacked by Darth Vader and the 501st Legion. While Vader fought Drallig with one hand, he used his free hand to choke Bene. Suffocating, she was no help to Drallig and died very quickly. Drallig was eventually killed by Vader as well. Her death was recorded on Temple security holocams which would be viewed by Masters Yoda and Kenobi.

Personality and traits
In the time before she was killed, Bene was known for her easy-going demeanor and odd sense of humor. Though the Jedi Order had strict rules about attachments, she began to develop a deep friendship with a young human female who was still undergoing training in the Jedi Temple.

On the fateful night in the Jedi Temple, Bene was ambushed while training. Despite her fencing practice, her skills were no match for the power of the dark side, and she was easily dispatched by Darth Vader.

Behind the scenes
Bene was played by Mousy McCallum, the daughter of prequel trilogy producer Rick McCallum.

Bene is a Latin and Italian adverb meaning "well." Bene is a prefix in English meaning good, or well.
