The chilling echoes of Order 66 forever changed the Star Wars galaxy, extinguishing the light of the Jedi Order. Yet, amidst the chaos and betrayal, flickers of hope remained. One such spark, Caleb Dume/Kanan Jarrus, a young Padawan who narrowly escaped the purge, would unknowingly play a pivotal role in shaping the future of the rebellion. 72392d

Kanan Jarrus and Luke Skywalker are both powerful Force s with equally talented padawans – Ezra Bridger and Ben Solo/Kylo Ren. Due to Kanan and Luke’s different approaches to teaching, their padawans went on to become starkly opposite Jedi, with Ezra reflecting Kanan’s great success and Kylo becoming Luke’s greatest failure.

Kanan Jarrus is one of the most influential Jedi, arguably shaping the trajectory of the early Rebellion. The legacy he left behind plays an important role in Star Wars canon being explored in live-action, and a new ongoing comic series may be paving the path for fans to learn more.

When it comes to Star Wars, everyone knows Luke Skywalker. The franchise's herald brought Star Wars to life decades ago, and the Jedi has continued to expand their lore. From film to television and print, Luke Skywalker has proven his mettle, but an overreliance has formed around the hero. Star Wars has other capable heroes, and the series only needs to look at Kana Jarrus to see as much.

Kanan Jarrus was one of the few Jedi who escaped the massacre of Order 66. At the time, he was Jedi Master Depa Billaba’s Padawan. Kanan's survival was arguably one of the most significant for the future of the galaxy, but there are two slightly conflicting s of how his escape happened.

Kanan Jarrus, a protagonist in Star Wars: Rebels, has his early life explored in greater depth through the comic series Star Wars: Kanan – The Last Padawan, which reveals how he survived Order 66. However, one small detail in the comic makes Kanan’s heartbreaking fate even more tragic than I ever thought possible.

In Star Wars: Rebels, fans are introduced to Kanan Jarrus, a former padawan who survived Order 66 years prior. Bits and pieces of Kanan's past are told throughout Rebels, but nothing substantial is revealed about his survival. The comic Kanan: The Last Padawan shows exactly how Kanan evaded capture.

One Star Wars Rebels actor refused to reprise his role in Ahsoka, and with good reason. While Ahsoka did focus on Ahsoka Tano, her relationship with her apprentice, and her struggle for closure, it essentially became Star Wars Rebels season 5. With the plot’s primary focus being the search for Ezra Bridger and Grand iral Thrawn – which was set up to be led by Ahsoka and Sabine in the Star Wars Rebels epilogue – Ahsoka served as a direct continuation of the Rebels story, with a few tweaks to canon here and there.

Star Wars’ Kanan Jarrus and Cal Kestis have a lot in common, but which Jedi is more powerful overall? Kanan Jarrus was originally introduced in the animated series Star Wars Rebels as a Jedi in hiding and an integral member of the Ghost Crew. The Ghost Crew was part of the fledgling Rebel Alliance, helping out wherever they were needed while the Rebel cells were scattered all across the galaxy. Despite the trauma of surviving Order 66, Kanan eventually revealed his status as a Jedi to the galaxy, and the rest is history.

Star Wars Rebels’Kanan Jarrus was one of the few Jedi to survive Order 66, but how powerful was he compared to Luke Skywalker? Audiences were introduced to Kanan Jarrus, formerly known as Caleb Dume, in the first episode of Star Wars Rebels, “A Spark of Rebellion: Part One.” At the time, Kanan was still in hiding. Though he worked with an independent Rebel cell, he kept his identity as a Jedi secret until he was forced to wield his lightsaber to save a group of Wookiee prisoners. Afterward, he took Ezra Bridger on as his apprentice, and the rest is history.
