德帕·比拉巴

姓名：德帕·比拉巴Depa Billaba

母星：科洛桑

種族：查拉克塔人

性別：女

身高：1.68米

武器：光劍

隸屬：絕地委員會

學徒：卡南 賈維斯

在絕地武士團日漸衰落的日子裡，德帕·比拉巴加入莊嚴的絕地委員會，成為這個機構中沉靜而強大的一員。比拉巴坐在伊思·科思和普洛·孔之間。當絕地大師奎-岡·金把小阿納金·天行者帶到絕地委員會面前，請求他們允許把這個男孩訓練成絕地時，比拉巴也在場。她還出席了金的葬禮以及其後不久為慶祝納布解放而舉行的勝利遊行。比拉巴家族的原力很強，她的一個近親也是絕地武士。

比拉巴是個孤兒，她的家人死於太空海盜之手，是可敬的絕地大師梅斯·溫杜從海盜手裡救了她。溫杜感受到比拉巴的原力潛力，於是把這個六個月大的嬰兒帶回科洛桑訓練。

在科洛桑，德帕學會運用自己的特殊能力造福銀河系。為紀念遇難的父母，她繼承了查拉克塔的傳統文化。結果，在委員會議事廳里，這名絕地大師與同事們的思想和個性尤為協調。裝飾在她鼻樑上的是查拉克塔的啟明印記，證明了她的精神力。納布戰役后不久，比拉巴跟隨前師父梅斯·溫杜去走私者之月納沙達執行任務。

克隆人戰爭爆發時，絕地們趕赴吉奧諾西斯，但比拉巴留在科洛桑照看各個小絕地組。克隆人戰爭初期，她前往哈倫卡爾前線，在那裡，艱苦的環境把她誘入原力黑暗面。梅斯與她決鬥后，她主動陷入昏迷狀態。儘管如此，同另一個墮落的絕地Sora Bulq一樣，Billaba也曾是一名十分令人敬重的大師……同時兩人也都是Vapaad的研習者。

幕後

這張設計圖是首批由《第一部》藝術部門繪製的人物草圖之一。它讓已經形態各異的絕地委員候選造型中又多了一位受精神力影響的人物，這些候選造型都是為《幽靈的威脅》準備的。雖然這個人物跟德帕·比拉巴存在著一些明顯的差異，但不難發現她很像在《第一部》中一閃而過的德帕·比拉巴。

A serene yet strong presence on the Jedi Council, Depa Billaba was one of the members of that august body during the waning days of the Jedi order. Billaba sat between Eeth Koth and Plo Koon. She was present when Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn brought the young Anakin Skywalker before the Jedi Council, requesting that the boy be trained as a Jedi. Billaba also attended Jinn's funeral and the victory parade that marked the liberation of Naboo shortly thereafter. The Force runs strong in Billaba's family, and a close relative of hers is also a Jedi Knight.

The orphaned Billaba was rescued from the space pirates who slew her family by the respected Jedi Master, Mace Windu. Windu sensed Billaba's Force potential, and brought the six-month old infant to Coruscant for training. On Coruscant, Depa learned to use her special abilities for the good of the galaxy. She has embraced the traditional culture of Chalacta in honor of her slain parents. As a result the Jedi Master was particularly attuned to the minds and personalities of her peers in the Council Chamber. Adorning the bridge of her nose are Chalcactan marks of illumination, testament to her spirituality. Shortly after the Battle of Naboo, Billaba followed her former master Mace Windu to the smuggler's moon of Nar Shaddaa on a mission.

At the start of the Clone Wars, while the Jedi raced to Geonosis, she remained on Coruscant and supervised the young Jedi clans. At the onset of the Clone Wars, she went to the battlefront at Haruun Kal, where the trying conditions there seduced her to the dark side of the Force. Mace confronted her, and Depa succumbed to a coma.

Behind The Scenes：This design, found among some of the Episode I Art Department's earliest character sketches, introduced a spiritually inspired figure to an already diverse lineup of potential Jedi Council members to appear in The Phantom Menace. Even though the figure obviously underwent several revisions, it is not hard to find a resemblance with the Depa Billaba character seen briefly in Episode I.
