Mina Podia was a Jedi who participated in the Clone Wars, specifically the Battle of Kashyyyk. During this battle, Podia fought alongside fellow Jedi Masters Yoda, Luminara Unduli, and Quinlan Vos. The Clone Troopers, following the unexpected issuance of Order 66, turned on the Jedi, resulting in the death of all present including Podia. However, both Yoda and Vos managed to evade the deadly ambush.
The character of Mina Podia was conceived in pre-production for the 2005 film Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith, which concluded the Star Wars prequel trilogy. This particular Jedi was included in the initial script draft (April 13, 2003) of the film, specifically within the Order 66 sequence.
