He reluctantly agreed to teach the boy, believing himself worthy of neither the responsibility nor the respect. Through Ezra, Kanan learned that he needed to return to the path of the Jedi. Then he met Ezra Bridger (Taylor Gray), a Force sensitive teenager, on Lothal. Over time, they formed a crew, and he became a leader of the ragtag group of rebels. He learned to survive, and eventually met - and fell in love with - Hera Syndulla (Vanessa Marshall), captain of the Ghost.
While he kept his lightsaber and carried his master’s teachings with him, he learned to adapt to a galaxy without the Jedi as peacekeepers. Feeling survivor’s remorse after his master, Depa Billaba’s, sacrifice during Order 66, Kanan - known then as Caleb Dume - left the Jedi life behind. Kanan Jarrus (Freddie Prinze, Jr.), the “cowboy Jedi”, was one of the best characters to come out of Rebels - if not the best. Honorable Mention: Kanan Jarrus, Knight of the Rebellion (“Star Wars Rebels”)Įpisode(s): “Rise of the Old Masters”, “Fire Across the Galaxy”, “Twilight of the Apprentice”, “Steps Into Shadow”, “Trials of the Darksaber”, “Rebel Assault”, “Jedi Night”ĭave Filoni really knows how to make a character stick the landing. Today, two months away from the end of the Skywalker Saga, and two weeks away from the premiere of The Mandalorian, I want to delve into the previous small screen Star Wars series - The Clone Wars and Rebels - to outline what I believe to be the best story arcs of this pocket of the current canon. However, Star Wars is also perfect for the small screen, comic books, and video games - as we’ve previously discussed.
The main series, a trilogy of trilogies dubbed the “Skywalker Saga”, is a continuous story told through episodic films. Influenced by Buck Rogers, Akira Kurosawa, and swashbuckling tales, Star Wars is a franchise deeply rooted in serialized storytelling. Updated 12/29/19: Replaced an irrelevant episode from number 2 with a more relevant one.
