Adi Gallia, played by Angelique Perrin in Star Wars: The Clone Wars, was a respected Jedi Master and a member of the Jedi High Council. Known for wisdom, exceptional piloting skills, and expertise in diplomacy, this Jedi played a critical role in the Clone Wars. Stass Allie, portrayed by Nina Fallon in Revenge of the Sith, also served as a Jedi Master and later took a seat on the High Council. These two powerful Force-users shared more than just a connection to the Jedi Order—they were cousins, linked by their Tholothian heritage and deep dedication to the light side of the Force.
The Tholothian Connection and Path to the Jedi Order
Adi Gallia and Stass Allie both came from Tholothian ancestry, a culture known for its strong connection to the Force. The distinct headdresses worn by both Jedi reflected their heritage. While raised separately, both followed the path of the Jedi, eventually earning places among the most respected warriors and diplomats in the Republic.
Adi Gallia became a member of the Jedi High Council before the Clone Wars began. As one of the Order’s leading tacticians, involvement in key Republic decisions shaped the early war effort. Stass Allie followed a similar path, rising through the Jedi ranks as a healer and warrior.
Adi Gallia’s Role in the Clone Wars
As a member of the Jedi High Council, Adi Gallia played a crucial role in advising the Republic and leading military operations. Diplomatic skills made this Jedi an essential figure in negotiations, but combat expertise ensured survival in battle. Missions against the Separatists often placed Adi Gallia on the front lines.
Encounters with General Grievous and Count Dooku demonstrated skill in both lightsaber combat and strategy. A key battle on Florrum led to a duel against Savage Opress, the brutal Sith apprentice of Darth Maul. During this fight, Adi Gallia was outmatched by the overwhelming strength of Savage Opress and fell in combat.
Stass Allie’s Rise to the Jedi High Council
After the loss of Adi Gallia, Stass Allie was selected to take a seat on the Jedi High Council. As a Jedi Master skilled in the healing arts, a different approach to the war was taken. Rather than focusing on battle tactics, efforts were centered on preserving life and assisting wounded soldiers.
Despite a more passive role in Republic strategy, Stass Allie still participated in combat. Leading troops into battle, lightsaber in hand, this Jedi Master fought alongside the Grand Army of the Republic against the droid forces of the Separatists.
The Execution of Order 66 and the End of Stass Allie
While leading clone troopers on the Outer Rim world of Saleucami, Stass Allie commanded a patrol unit during the final days of the Clone Wars. When Supreme Chancellor Palpatine activated Order 66, the clone troopers under command turned without hesitation.
Riding a 74-Z speeder bike, Stass Allie was caught off guard when troopers fired from behind. The sudden betrayal left no time to react. The speeder exploded in flames, marking the end of another Jedi Master.
Legacy of Adi Gallia and Stass Allie
The story of Adi Gallia and Stass Allie reflected the Jedi Order’s commitment to peace and justice. Both served the Republic with honor, each leaving a lasting impact on the Clone Wars. One fell in battle against a Sith warrior, while the other was betrayed by the very soldiers once considered allies.
Despite their tragic ends, the legacy of these Jedi cousins lived on. The contributions made to the war, the wisdom shared with fellow Jedi, and the sacrifices endured became part of the history of the Jedi Order. The bond between Adi Gallia and Stass Allie, forged through blood and the Force, remained a testament to the strength of the Jedi—even in the face of darkness.
