Legend

this unusual creature, a member of the Velmoc species, spent most of its life dreaming of becoming a Jedi Knight. However, with the advent of the New Order, Jedidiah's dreams were put into stasis. He became an advisor and confidante to the royal family of Velmor, and pledged himself to keeping the planet free of Imperial control. When the Empire finally subjugated Velmor, Jedidiah arranged to have Prince Denid and his beloved, Loren, flee the planet on a shuttle. In the escape, Jedidiah sustained a number of injuries. The three were forced to crashland on a remote jungle world, and Loren died in the crash. Jedidiah survived, and nursed Denid back to health. However, the crash isolated Jedidiah, and his already damaged mind eventually snapped. He spent the rest of his days bemoaning his lost dream of joining the Jedi, and would only answer to the name "Jedi.". He carried a gnarled wooden stick, claiming it was his lightsaber. Once back on Velmor, Jedidiah regained his touch with the Force when Luke Skywalker used it to help fight Traal and Zelor. Jedidiah went to help Luke, but was shot and killed by Captain Traal.
