Lah Kara

Canon Linked from 42 articles

Lah Kara was a Force-sensitive human female who was the daughter of the legendary sabersmith Lah Zhima. The two lived together in their home on the planet Hy Izlan, and when Margrave Juro attempted to revive the Jedi Order, Zhima created several lightsabers for him. After Zhima finished creating them, Kara practiced using one of the lightsabers, which had their kyber crystals tempered so that their blade length and color would reflect the user's connection to the Force. When Jedi Hunters arrived to capture Zhima, he tasked Kara with delivering the lightsabers to the Jedi waiting for them in the Aerial Temple above Hy Izlan. One of the Jedi Hunters pursued Kara as she escaped on her speeder bike, but she deflected his blaster fire while riding backwards through a forest. When they reached a frozen lake, she sliced the hunter's speeder and escaped to a station, where she hired a Boatman droid to take her to the Aerial Temple.

Upon arriving at the temple, Kara gave the lightsabers to who she believed were the Jedi awaiting them. However, all but one—Ethan—revealed themselves to be acolytes of the Sith. The Sith surrounded Kara and Ethan, but Juro soon revealed himself. Several of the Sith attacked Juro, while Kara and Ethan drew their lightsabers to fight back as well. Juro managed to kill most of the Sith, but he was knocked back when the acolyte Roden attacked with Force lightning. Kara then broke away from fighting Homen—a Jedi consumed by the acolytes' darkness—to attack Roden, allowing Juro to push the Sith onto a massive kyber crystal, disintegrating him, after which Homen stood down. Kara then asked Juro to help save her father, which he agreed to before inviting Kara to aid him in restoring the Jedi Order and join him as the ninth Jedi.

Around six months later, Kara and the other Jedi were aboard a starship while being pursued by Jedi Hunters. Their ship was struck by proton torpedos, and Kara was blasted into space and eventually drifted near an abandoned ship. She was brought aboard by the service droid Teto, who asked Kara to help rescue his master. Kara was eventually able to use the Force to move a fallen statue blocking off the room where he had been recovering in a bacta tank, but then learned his life support systems had already failed. They later investigated a noise from the ship's hangar, where they found the same Jedi Hunters who had pursued Kara earlier. Kara lured them toward the ship's automated sentry guns, which defeated the hunter's subordinates, but was forced to retreat with Teto after dueling their leader Unda and his lieutenant, Anda. Teto pushed Kara into an escape pod and jettisoned it despite her protests, after which he activated the ship's self-destruct mechanism. The other Jedi soon returned for Kara and brought her aboard their ship.
