Legend

this alien Jedi Knight was considered to be the best lightsaber combat teacher at the Jedi Temple on Coruscant, during the years following the Battle of Naboo. She was a sturdy being, well-muscled and ready for anything. When Soara and her Padawan, Darra Thel-Tanis, were dispatched to Radnor to ensure an orderly evacuation of the planet, they were separated when the Jedi Masters on the team - including Obi-Wan Kenobi, Siri Tachi, and Ry-Gaul - went into the city of Aubendo, while their apprentices - Anakin Skywalker, Ferus Olin, and Tru Veld - remained in Tacto. The Jedi were cornered in a canyon after discovering that the plague in Aubendo was dying out, and Soara's leg was injured before the Padawans rescued the Masters. Later, Soara was part of the delegation that brought relief supplies to the failing world of Nuralee, along with Thel-Tanis. With the completion of this mission, the pair were attached to the team that was dispatched to Korriban to apprehend Granta Omega. In one of the final battles, Soara was devastated when Darra took several blaster bolts in the chest, as she leaped to protect Ferus. Darra eventually died of her wounds, and Master Soara returned to Coruscant with a heavy heart. Her period of mourning was cut short by the onset of the Clone Wars, and Master Antana was among the many Jedi Masters who were killed during the conflict.
