Affiliation

Hanna Ding was a Jedi Padawan during the Clone Wars, a rival of Tallisibeth Enwandung-Esterhazy. A female Arkanian from Arkania, she wielded a green lightsaber. She was graceful and particularly fond of lightsaber combat as compared to grappling, but could be predictable. She criticized Esterhazy's unorthodox tactics in the Jedi Temple Apprentice Tournament, considering Esterhazy's use of trickery to be unfair, and arguing that to take advantage of the letter of the rules and her opponents' good nature was unsporting in a tournament setting and inapplicable to real-life battle. Ding herself was frustrated and had trouble keeping her temper when faced with these tactics, but remained unwilling to injure her opponent when she had the advantage, even when Esterhazy refused to surrender. Her shock when Esterhazy grabbed her lightsaber blade—set to low power in accordance with the competition's rules—prevented her from adapting to the situation, leading to her elimination from the tournament.
