10 Star Wars Characters More Important Than You Realised

Though Ki-Adi-Mundi's (Silas Carson) infamous one-liner in Revenge of the Sith - "What about the droid attack on the Wookies?" - made him seem like more of a meme than an actual character, this Jedi High Council member is actually a vital piece of the narrative puzzle.

Even if Mundi's question seems a little off-topic, it has major consequences for the rest of the prequel trilogy - and beyond.

After all, if Mundi hadn't mentioned the Wookie attack, Yoda (Frank Oz) wouldn't have travelled to Kashyyyk to help defend it, and instead likely remained on Coruscant.

Given that Anakin's turn to the Dark Side unfolds while Yoda is away, things would've almost certainly been very different if he remained on-planet with him and potentially prevented him from being corrupted by Palpatine.

So let's give Ki-Adi-Mundi a hand, for sending Yoda off on a mission when, in terms of the bigger picture, he desperately needed to stay put.
