Hanna Ding

Hanna Ding was an Arkanian female Jedi who studied at the Jedi Order's Temple academy on the planet Coruscant, the capital of the Galactic Republic. Ding underwent the trials to become a Padawan and passed them by the time of the Clone Wars, a galactic conflict between the Republic and the Confederacy of Independent Systems.

In 19 BBY, Ding participated in the Jedi Temple Apprentice Tournament, organized by Jedi Master Ilena Xan, and managed to advance to the second round. She faced Jedi Initiate Tallisibeth Enwandung-Esterhazy in a duel in the dark, and despite her displaying superior skill, Enwandung-Esterhazy won the fight through the unorthodox means of grabbing Ding's lightsaber blade and forcing her to submit with a right-handed choke-hold.
