Yarael Poof (— 27 BBY) was a Quermian Jedi Master who served on the Jedi Council during the twilight years of the Galactic Republic. He trained Roron Corobb as his Padawan. While he carried a lightsaber, Yarael Poof preferred to use his mastery of mind tricks to avoid conflict.
Biography
A sly Jedi Master, Poof was a consummate master of Jedi mind tricks and could use the Force to quickly befuddle and mislead targets by conjuring false images in their minds. Yarael Poof was powerful and skilled in the rare art of Battle Meditation, which helped him to give courage to an army while the opposing army suddenly was mentally weakened.
He was a member of the Quermian species, a race of sentient invertebrates related to the Xexto of Troiken. Hidden beneath his traditional robes were four delicate arms which granted Yarael Poof remarkable dexterity. Poof's sensitive olfactory glands were located in his hands. He had two brains, one located inside his skull and the other in his chest cavity.
The Jedi Master was present when Qui-Gon Jinn brought young Anakin Skywalker before the Council for training.
Yarael Poof died defending Coruscant from General Ashaar Khorda's attempt to use the Infant of Shaa in 27 BBY.
Behind the scenes
Yarael Poof would have been cast in Attack of the Clones, but George Lucas found this character too hard and expensive to be animated, so he removed him from the Council. He imagined the Battle of Geonosis to be a battle where all the Council members would attend. Poof's absence in Episode II helped avoid any confusion between his species and the newly-introduced Kaminoans.
