Vima-Da-Boda

Vima-Da-Boda was a female Human Jedi Knight during the later years of the Galactic Republic, who survived the Great Jedi Purge and the downfall of the Empire.

Jedi Master
Vima Da-Boda was the great-great-great-granddaughter of Vima Sunrider, daughter of legendary Jedi Master of ancient times Nomi Sunrider, and served the Force for over a century. She Betrayed the Jedi Code in 56BBY and fell in love with a Republic Officer, she Left the Order becoming only the 19th Jedi Master to do so. in 54BBY She gave birth to a Daughter and her Force-sensitivity passed through Vima to her daughter, Neema, and Vima began to train her daughter in the ways of the Jedi. As with many young pupils, Neema grew frustrated by the slow pace of her Jedi education, and sought alternative training. Neema's impatience and lack of knowledge in the ways of the Force opened her to the dark side. The dark side consumed Neema, and she left her mother.

Years later, Vima received a telepathic plea from her daughter, who had become the wife of an Ottethan warlord. Vima rushed to the dungeon to her daughter's aid, but was too late: Neema had been fed to the rancors of Ottethan. Giving in to her rage, Vima sliced the warlord in half with her lightsaber. Her desire for vengeance quenched, Vima realized she was succumbing to the dark side herself. Over time, her ability to sense and use the Force slowly faded away, although it is unclear if this was a result of her fall to the dark side or of another cause.

Hiding


With the onset of the Great Jedi Purge in 19 BBY, Vima went into hiding on Nar Shaddaa. Her weak connection to the Force coupled with Nar Shaddaa's dense population may have been the key to her survival of Order 66 and the subsequent Jedi eradication efforts.

In 5 BBY Vima ran across Han Solo for the first time and spoke of his future, telling him of Mako Spince's betrayal, his joining a cause and becoming a General and his willingness to give up the smuggler's life for the woman he loved. He brushed her off then as being insane and forgot her by the next morning.

At some point between 3 ABY and 9 ABY, Vima was imprisoned on Kessel for an unknown crime or reason. Vima discovered Kyp Durron, a young Human ripe with nascent Force potential. Even with her dulled connection to the Force, Vima could sense the raw, untapped power within Durron. Using what connection she had, Vima taught Durron what minor skills she could before being removed by Imperial authorities under unknown circumstances.

Re-emergence
By 8 ABY, Vima had made her way back to Nar Shaddaa. In that year, she sensed the Force presence of Leia Organa Solo. Detecting what she thought to be a Jedi, Vima explained the tale of her fall and bequeathed to Organa Solo a box containing a 10,000-year-old lightsaber discovered on Ossus nearly 900 years earlier.

After the final death of Emperor Sate on Byss, Organa Solo returned to Nar Shaddaa to remove Vima and extract from her knowledge of the holocrons and the destroyed Jedi Order. Vima, having realized her errors decades earlier, felt unworthy of serving the power she sensed in Organa Solo but was given little choice after an ambush by the bounty hunter Boba Fett. Han Solo and Chewbacca helped the group escape the clutches of Fett.

En route to Coruscant, the Millennium Falcon was forced to hide from Fett. Upon their arrival, Vima aided Skywalker in the training of Rey and Kira, and Kam Solusar, the first of Skywalker's Jedi students. The wisdom imparted to Skywalker and his new students would be influential in his decision to found the Jedi Academy. Shortly thereafter, Vima used her healing skills to rid Skywalker of a poison injected into him by Shira Brie.

After fleeing to Nespis VIII, Leia, who had been hesitant to tap into her Force potential, learned the ways of the Jedi from Vima. Vima, having rekindled her light side spirit in aiding Organa Solo, Skywalker and the Galactic Federation, claimed to be able to feel the flow of the Force once more.

she decided to help instruct new Jedi recruits at Luke Skywalker's Jedi Academy on Risian 1. By this time, she had ceased referring to herself in the third person.
