Only Jedi who speaks?
editActually, that archive woman in Attack of the Clones does speak to Obi-wan and you find out that the's a Jedi in something else, I think it was the game of Revenge of the Sith. This comment was unsigned by 81.146.37.78 and was then signed by Weirdy.
- Yes, I actually agree. And, that archive woman is called Jocasta Nu. But, I don't get the last bit. Please elaborate. Weirdy 00:44, 27 April 2006 (UTC) The 2nd Weirdy?
- I think he's talking about here appearance in the Revenge of the Sith video game. Anyway she wasn't the only one, the younglings in both Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith spoke. And even Kit Fisto, Agen Kolar and Seasee Tinn's death screams could possibly count as speaking. Gran2 09:56, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
Image
editCan you see the image in the infobox of Ki-Adi Mundi? I personally thinks that it needs to be replaced with another one. Weirdy 00:46, 27 April 2006 (UTC) The 2nd Weirdy?
In-universe
editAnyone seriously interested in improving the article should consider adding some real world related info, e.g. regarding the concept, creation, and/or function of the character within the Star Wars narrative etc. Please consult our writing about fiction guideline, which also includes a list of exemplary articles.
There are currently three featured articles on Star Wars characters: Palpatine, Padmé Amidala, and Jabba the Hutt. What sets them aside from most of the other SW character articles is the effort to write from the real world perspective. Pay particular attention to paragraphs like Jabba the Hutt#Concept and creation, Palpatine#Concept and creation, and Padmé Amidala#Characterization.
Also take a look at Darth Vader, which despite its lack of reliable, published third-party secondary sources features interesting sections on e.g. #Character creation and concepts and Darth Vader as a #Cultural figure.
Even though reliable sources may be tough to come up with, any effort to introduce coherently written real world aspects will be greatly appreciated, because it contributes to the depth of the article and accurate coverage of the topic, and thereby makes for an improved reading experience and increases the encyclopedic value of the article.

Fair use rationale for Image:Ki-adi rots.jpg
editImage:Ki-adi rots.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
Suggestion of Marriage?
editIn the paragraph about Cerea on the List of Star Wars planets (C–D) page it says that, "because of the Cereans low ratio of males-to-females, he (Ki-Adi-Mundi) was given a special exemption from the Jedi edict that discouraged marriage". Is this true and if so should there be anything about it in the article.--86.131.217.119 (talk) 19:16, 3 September 2009 (UTC)RS 03/09/09
- The list of Star Wars locations is very poorly sourced, crufty and speculative; I don't even bother to put them on my watchlist. Unless that list offers a source to substantiate the claim, I wouldn't copy-and-paste it here. Wookieepedia's entry on the character might point to a primary source, RPG book, or some such that backs up the claim. --EEMIV (talk) 22:29, 4 September 2009 (UTC)
Thank you for your advice and responding to my message. I will disregard that piece of information--86.142.137.3 (talk) 17:15, 5 September 2009 (UTC) RS 05/09/09
In universe
editArticle is not entirely in universe. Rich Farmbrough, 18:09, 21 February 2011 (UTC).
- Agreed; this edit surprised me. I'd support a redirect to List of Star Wars characters. --EEMIV (talk) 18:11, 21 February 2011 (UTC)
Merge?
editCurrently the article shows no evidence of notability outside of Star Wars. – Harry Blue5 (talk • contribs) 18:43, 25 September 2011 (UTC)
- Oppose. Character appeared in 3 of the films and has been featured in numerous animated episodes, comic book, video games and books. Niteshift36 (talk) 19:11, 25 September 2011 (UTC)
- That alone does not grant notability. What the article needs is good old fashioned "non-primary/third-party reliable sources" from stuff like IGN. – Harry Blue5 (talk • contribs) 20:49, 25 September 2011 (UTC)
- Support. No evidence of notability, and multiple appearances does not constitute notability. - New Age Retro Hippie (talk) (contributions) 22:16, 25 September 2011 (UTC)
- Support - No evidence of significant third-party coverage. --EEMIV (talk) 22:23, 25 September 2011 (UTC)
- Support - While at first I thought he was important cause I remembered his name, it was only cause hes a playable character in Battlefront 2. No sources=no article. Blake (Talk·Edits) 03:07, 26 September 2011 (UTC)
- Support since there is no significant coverage. I found a couple of references that speculate about his name; one says it's inspired by aikido, and another says it comes from the Hindi demon Adi or from "Adi-Buddha". These are passing mentions, though, and can be used wherever the character is merged to. Erik (talk | contribs) 14:33, 26 September 2011 (UTC)
- ...What do we merge to? - New Age Retro Hippie (talk) (contributions) 00:25, 27 September 2011 (UTC)
- Anything important can go into List of Star Wars characters. – Harry Blue5 (talk • contribs) 08:22, 27 September 2011 (UTC)
- Looking at the list, we may as well call this "delete and redirect". So I'm going to say conditional keep, based on the fact that we have nothing of quality to merge into. - New Age Retro Hippie (talk) (contributions) 01:48, 28 September 2011 (UTC)
- Support - This character is not major in any of the Star Wars films, nor in Star Wars: The Clone Wars (except one episode), or in any other major Star Wars Media. If merely being in a number of the films constitutes notability, and in being animated episodes and other media, other characters, such as Saesee Tiin, Aayla Secura, Adi Gallia, Shaak Ti, Plo Koon, and many others would constitute as notable.
