Pablo-Jill


Pablo-Jill was an Ongree male Jedi Knight that participated in the First Battle of Geonosis as a part of the Jedi assault team. Pablo-Jill fought alongside the Jedi to free Jedi Knights Obi-Wan Kenobi, and Anakin Skywalker, along with Senator Padmé Amidala from the Confederacy of Independent Systems. Sometime during the Clone Wars, Pablo-Jill's lightsaber was stolen from floating debris by Separatist General Grievous following an intense duel over Duro in a satellite city that left Pablo-Jill injured. Though encouraged by the Jedi Order to take a Padawan, Pablo-Jill never chose one. Pablo-Jill wore Jedi robes and owned a blue-bladed lightsaber.

Behind the scenes


Pablo-Jill is named after a VFX Supervisor and Producer team at Industrial Light & Magic that worked on the 2002 film Star Wars: Episode II Attack of the Clones, Pablo Helman and Jill Brooks. Pablo-Jill was one of few completely computer-generated characters in the Prequel trilogy. He was one of only three CGI Jedi in Star Wars: Episode II Attack of the Clones. Because of Pablo-Jill's awkward, bulky form and multi-jointed legs, it was decided that he would look best using computer animation. There was originally some confusion between Pablo-Jill and the Ongree member of the Jedi Council seen in Revenge of the Sith, with early Set Diaries naming the other Ongree Pablo-Jill and later Sweitt Concorkill, though he was eventually named Coleman Kcaj. The character was originally meant to be Pablo-Jill, but because the Ongree in Episode III needed a more detailed CGI model, a new character was created.

Another Ongree Jedi, Coleman Kcaj's corpse appears in "Part IV," the fourth episode of Obi-Wan Kenobi, and his appearance was confirmed in the StarWars.com episode guide. Concept art for Kcaj was done by , however the art was instead labeled as Pablo-Jill. Lucasfilm Story Group member Pablo Hidalgo pointed out the Ongree in Obi-Wan Kenobi doesn't have spots, closer resembling Pablo-Jill, but recommended that Wookieepedia give priority to StarWars.com than the concept art.
