Serra Keto


 * "Serra, Cin Drallig's most gifted student." — Darth Vader

Serra Keto (39 BBY–19 BBY) was a human female Jedi, and one of Cin Drallig's most trusted and gifted students.

Biography
Master Drallig was renowned for his formidable lightsaber skills and as Serra's master, Cin Drallig passed on everything he knew of lightsaber technique to the young girl. In time, as Serra became a Jedi Knight herself, she also became known for her skills with a lightsaber as well. As a Jedi, Serra was not shy about expressing her confidence in her abilities. Keto was known for her rebellious nature, and several times, was close to being removed from the Jedi Order.

During Darth Vader's ruthless execution of Order 66 in the third year of the Clone Wars, Serra and Cin Drallig fought together, side to side, through the many Jedi Temple corridors, fighting off countless clone troopers until they were separated by All Terrain Recon Transports. Finally, Keto faced off against Vader.

Despite her emotion-laden attacks with dual lightsabers, she deemed Vader to be stronger. During the fight Serra taunted and provoked Vader hoping that his annoyance might lead to a mistake and give her an advantage. Unfortunately her efforts proved fruitless as Vader backed her into the corner of the room. She felt that she was destined to lose and used the Force to throw a huge pillar between her and her attacker to make an escape. She jumped at a balcony, but Vader followed her and the battle continued. After a furious one-on-one battle against the young Sith, she was eventually crushed by a temple pillar, manipulated by Vader. While she fought valiantly as a Jedi Knight, in the end, Serra Keto was one of the many Jedi to fall at the hands of the Sith's revenge.

Traits
While Cin Drallig developed his own unique style of lightsaber combat, relying on enhanced speed and unconventional and unpredictable movements, so did Serra develop her own unique style. Her combat style was fast, dynamic and acrobatic. Her unique attack pattern, wielding two green lightsabers, was unpredictable and dangerous. Just like other dual lightsaber practitioners, she used Form X: Niman / Jar'Kai. Serra often used both lightsabers to strike harder and perform more powerful attacks, while other Form X practitioners used one lightsaber to attack and the other to parry.

She also had the ability to sense her surroundings through the Force. This ability was similar to the one that the pre-Ruusan Jedi Master Kreia used, as well as the natural ability of the Miraluka.

Behind the scenes
Serra was created for the Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith video game. Her voice was performed by Kari Wahlgren. It is presumed that she was a descendant of the Keto family.
