Star Wars fans might be wondering if Ki-Adi Mundi, a notable Jedi Master who was seen in the prequel trilogy and The Clone Wars animated series, appears in Star Wars: The Acolyte. In the epic space-opera franchise, Mundi was a member of the Jedi High Council during the final years of the Galactic Republic. He met his end as the Clone Wars concluded, following the execution of Order 66, where he was gunned down by the clone troopers who were supposed to guard him.
So, does Ki-Adi Mundi show up in The Acolyte? Here’s everything you need to know.
Does Ki-Adi Mundi appear in The Acolyte?
Ki-Adi Mundi appears in Star Wars: The Acolyte episode 4. Because of the timeline, we initially thought it was just another Jedi of his species, the Cereans. However, the episode credits confirm that this is indeed Mundi and he’s already a Jedi Master.
Since The Acolyte takes place roughly 100 years before the events of Star Wars: The Phantom it seemed unlikely that Ki-Adi Mundi would make an appearance in the series. It seemed implausible that Mundi would have been born and a member of the Jedi Order around the time of the events of The Acolyte.
Furthermore, in a recent interview with Comicbook.com, the show’s creator, Leslye Headland, mentioned that Yoda and other established characters would not be making an appearance and that the series would only use characters from the High Republic era and Expanded Universe (EU). Despite this comment, Headland saw fit to include Mundi, so who knows what other cameos we’ll see.
