―Obi-Wan Kenobi and Nari^[2]

Nari was a Force-sensitive near-human male who served the Jedi Order as a Jedi. In 9 BBY, after the destruction of the Jedi Order, Nari was hiding on the planet Tatooine and helped the owner of a saloon. Rumors about him being a Jedi spread through the galaxy, and three Inquisitors went to Tatooine to capture him, but he managed to escape. Sometime later, he asked for help from former Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi, who was also hiding on Tatooine, but the former Master told him to keep a low profile and live a normal life. Nari was later killed by the Inquisitors and his body was hung in a city on Tatooine.

―The Grand Inquisitor after capturing Nari^[2]

Nari was a near-human male Jedi who served the Jedi Order.^[2] In 9 BBY,^[1] ten years after the destruction of the Jedi Order, Nari was hiding on the planet Tatooine, storing his starship in the wastes of the planet. While on the planet, he helped an individual who owned a saloon in the city Mos Eisley, but stories about him being a Jedi spread across the galaxy. In exchange for his help, the cantina owner allowed the Jedi to stay in his saloon. Eventually, the Grand Inquisitor, a Pau'an male, heard the rumors and traveled to Tatooine along with fellow Inquisitors Fifth Brother and Third Sister in order to capture him.^[2]

The Third Sister ignited her lightsaber, and the Grand Inquisitor ordered to prepare him for interrogation. Nari responded that they were wasting their time since they would have never been able to find all the remaining Jedi.
