Background
Personality
Luminara was very calm, physically disciplined, level-headed, and patient, as she rarely lost her temper. She was confident in her abilities, but this confidence became overconfidence and arrogance, when she fought Asajj Ventress and almost lost her life. Despite her arrogance and overconfidence, she was not about being grateful to her comrades and allies alike; as Luminara was grateful to Ahsoka Tano for saving her from Asajj and told Ahsoka she owed her life to her. She was one of the few Jedi to easily connect with her companions and she complemented them during battle.
Luminara greatly cared for her former apprentice, Barriss Offee, despite this, she maintained a very professional relationship with her. Keeping in mind the Jedi sense of detachment, Luminara was prepared to let go of Barriss in the event of her possible death.
As a Jedi, Luminara was highly intelligent and wise. Despite her serious demeanor, she had a sense of humor, as she stifled a snort of laughter at Anakin Skywalker's "simple logic", during the Second Battle of Geonosis.
Physical appearance
Luminara had a slim, petite body with olive green skin, cobalt blue eyes, grey hair (which was hidden from view), small eyebrows, and traditional Mirialan diamond tattoos on her chin. Her usual garb consisted of both a tight-fitting black long-sleeved top and textured skirt with three layers of a horizontal trim near the bottom, a complex two-piece belt above the waist with two round, silver plate-like fasteners, an intricate-patterned belt tabbard, brown trousers and Jedi boots, gauntlets, and shin guards. She wore a green, brown and black patterned cloak over her outfit, while beneath it was an under vest held on with a silver decorative broach, Perhaps her most distinctive feature is her large, folded headdress which is constantly worn.

- Luminara Unduli was a victim of both Order 66 and the Great Jedi Purge. However, they way her execution was carried out varies a little bit differently. In Canon, she wasn't executed on the spot when Order 66 occurred, but instead she was captured and than executed by the Grand Inquisitor. In Legends, she was present on Kashyyyk healing wounded clones when the order was given and she was executed on the spot by a group of clone troopers led by Commander Faie, who then proceded to hunt down the other two Jedi stationed on Kashyyyk, Yoda and Quinlan Vos.
