The Jedi Order

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/jedi_order.png

There is no emotion, there is peace.
There is no ignorance, there is knowledge.
There is no passion, there is serenity.
There is no chaos, there is harmony.
There is no death, there is the Force.

— The Jedi Code

The Jedi Order was a noble, religious order of protectors united in their devotion to the Light Side of the Force. With a history dating back thousands of years before the rise of the Galactic Empire, the Jedi — noted for their lightsabers and natural ability to harness the powers of the Force — stood as the guardians of peace and justice in the Galactic Republic. Due to the machinations of their dark antithesis known as the Sith, the Jedi Order was ultimately wiped out by the iron fist of the Empire following the execution of Order 66 in 19 BBY, which resulted in a handful of survivors going into hiding across the galaxy.

Following the fall of the Galactic Empire and the establishment of the New Republic in 5 ABY, Jedi Knight Luke Skywalker attempted to restore the Jedi Order by himself using all the knowledge he could collect from the old Jedi Order, and managed to gather a few dozen Force-sensitive apprentices under his wing along with his troubled nephew Ben Solo. However, Solo turned to the Dark Side in 28 ABY by killing his fellow Padawans and (apparently) destroying their makeshift Jedi Temple, causing Skywalker to go into exile in grief and shame to the planet of Ahch-To, becoming one of the Last Jedi in the known galaxy. In 34 ABY, a young Force-sensitive girl named Rey would later seek out the exiled Jedi Master to learn the ways of Force and to dissuade him from ending the Jedi legacy in a time when the legacy of the Sith, a successor state of the Empire known as the First Order, is on the verge of taking over the galaxy once again...

In General

Action Girl: Name a female Jedi and she qualifies for this trope by virtue of being a Jedi.
Adaptation Relationship Overhaul: Clones and Jedi's relationship in Legends differ a great deal compared to canon. In the former, their relationship was much more uneasy, mainly due to Jedi viewing the clones' Blind Obedience and My Country, Right or Wrong mentality with wariness, while clones disliked the dismissive way they were viewed and how many had died under their Jedi Commanders' watch. As such, while they fought along with one another, it often leaned towards Teeth-Clenched Teamwork, and many clones had little issue with executing the Jedi they served with, though not all followed through with it. In canon however, most Jedi and clones tend to have a much healthier relationship, with the Jedi treating the clones with respect and encouraging their individuality, and both parties are shown to greatly trust one another, though this sentiment is not universal for Jedi or clones alike.
Adaptational Heroism: They (for the most part) lack the Fantastic Racism and What Measure Is a Non-Human? traits that they did in Legends, viewing clones with respect and was protective of their troops, instead of viewing them as weapons that they hold at arm's length due to their genetic nature.
Adaptational Wimp: Luke's New Jedi Order appears at first glance to be hit hard by this compared to the Legends NJO who managed to endure and thrive in the face of threats like Sith Lord Exar Kun, the Shadow Academy, the Yuuzhan Vong, the Second Galactic Civil War, and Abeloth. However the existence of most of these are a testament to Anakin's failure to bring peace to the galaxy. By contrast, Luke's order is mostly wiped out in 28 ABY in a single attack with the few survivors killed not long afterwards. At first they don't seem to have acomplished anything of note in the years they were around either, but that's only because the Empire and the Sith had been all but eradicated before Luke started teaching new Jedi. That said, Luke also had far more students by this point in the timeline, several of which had already became accomplished Jedi Masters and teachers in their own right.
All There in the Script: A lot of Jedi had their names revealed via the Prequel Trilogy's credits, scripts, and character guides.
Ascended Extra: The Clone Wars gives a significant amount of Jedi that are featured in the Prequel Trilogy as peripheral characters fleshed-out expanded roles.
Ascend to a Higher Plane of Existence: When they die, Jedi can learn to become one with the Force and manifest as Force spirits if they have the proper knowledge and training. Most Jedi never learned how to do this as they believed consciousness ceases to exist after death. Qui-Gon Jinn is the first known Jedi in the canon to achieve this via being trained by the Force Priestesses and a Shaman of the Whills. He would later teach Yoda the same, who would train Obi-Wan Kenobi to do this. According to the Force Priestesses, there are very few beings (even fewer Jedi) in history who have accomplished this ability.
Badass Army: Their mastery of the Force and skills with the lightsaber makes them the most powerful individuals in the galaxy.
Beware the Nice Ones: Good Is Not Soft. A fully trained Jedi Knight is a nigh-unstoppable person with incredible speed and reflexes, armed with a laser sword capable of cutting through just about anything. This tends to make them The Dreaded for most, as seen in the opening of The Phantom Menace. While the Trade Federation are cowards, their fear of having two Jedi on their ship is entirely justified.
Rune Haako: Have you ever faced a Jedi Knight before?
Nute Gunray: No, I don't... seal off the bridge!
Boring, but Practical: Basically their whole schtick. They're some of the most powerful beings in the galaxy, sent on some of the most dangerous missions possible, yet spend all their free time meditating, dressing in uniform brown and tan robes, and live a life free of any strong emotions or attachments.
Broken Pedestal:
- The Clone Wars reveals said war turned public opinion against the Jedi, who saw their involvement as adding to the destruction and suffering and them betraying their ideals of peacekeepers and heroes. Even multiple members of their own order began to lose faith in it as apparent hypocrisy grew more rampant over the course of the war, with Anakin Skywalker's own disillusionment playing a major role in his eventual turn to The Dark Side. This was part of Palpatine's plan to justify his purge of them.
- By the time of The Last Jedi, this is Luke's view of the Jedi Order as a whole, arguing that the Empire's rise and unending turmoil the galaxy has suffered through since the fall of the Republic can be traced back to the Jedi's failings.
Blue Is Heroic: Played With. A lot of Jedi have lightsabers that produce a blue-coloured blade and usually are noble overall in comparison to the Sith and their red lightsabers. Of course, there are some exceptions with Jedi wielding green lightsabers, Jedi Temple Guards with their yellow lightsabers and Mace Windu possessing one that's purple. On the moral end of things, however, some are… let's just say they're either more unscrupulous or have fallen to the Dark Side of the Force.
Canon Immigrant: A few Jedi, most notably Aayla Secura, debuted in the Legends comic series Republic before appearing in the films and The Clone Wars, which allowed them to be part of canon after the 2014 Continuity Reboot.
Celibate Hero: Downplayed; sex is permitted among the Jedi, it's long-term emotional attachments, i.e. relationships and marriage, that are not.
Children Are Innocent: One of the reasons why the Jedi Order starts training students when they are very young and don't take students when they are past a certain age. They believe that someone who hasn't had the lifetime of discipline and training instilled into them that the Jedi do will be easily corrupted by the temptation to use the Force for darker ends.
Combat Clairvoyance: Jedi have the ability to sense things before they happen, giving them heightened reflexes.
Cool Starship: Jedi tend to pilot their own awesome starfighters. And during the Clone Wars, many Jedi commanded their fleets and armies from the bridge of a mighty Venator-Class Star Destroyer.
Cool Sword: The lightsaber, a Jedi's signature weapon, which can cut through almost anything and defend against energy attacks. The most common colors for a Jedi's lightsaber are blue and green, though other colors are used (such as purple for Mace Windu).
The Corruptible: Due to their collective status as The Empath through the Force, the Jedi are heavily susceptible to negative emotions and sensations which they train to control and regulate through discipline and training. When overcome with negative emotions, such as during times of war, even the sweetest Jedi can easily be swayed to the Dark Side and become vicious and murderous as they were once kind and compassionate.
Death by Cameo: In Revenge of the Sith, George Lucas' son Jett plays a Jedi Padawan who gets killed fighting clone troopers in front of Bail Organa, while stunt coordinator Nick Gillard plays one of the Jedi Vader kills in the security hologram.
Despair Event Horizon: It's revealed in Rebels that a number of Jedi gave into their fear and despair during the Clone Wars and lost themselves to the Dark Side.
Does Not Like Guns: They refrain from using blasters, considering the weapon clumsy and uncivilized while its offensive nature goes against their status as defenders, and only resort to it when they don't have their lightsabers and they lack any other weapon to defend themselves with. After the rise of the Empire though, they largely abandon this rule as lightsabers have been outlawed due to the Jedi being branded fugitives and being seen with a lightsaber is an easy way to put the Inquisitors on their trail. It's quite ironic too as despite their dislike of blasters, their Force-sensitivity means that they have insane accuracy skills and coupling that with a lightsaber just makes them more unstoppable.
Earned Stripes: Humans (and aliens with human-like hair) wear rat-tails as Padawan learners. Aliens who don't have human-like hair wear an equivalent, such as Ahsoka's chain on her head-jewelry as seen in The Clone Wars. When they are promoted to Jedi Knight, the rat-tail is cut off and they're free to wear their hair however they want to (although we don't see the process in the films themselves). In The Phantom Menace, Obi-Wan has the Padawan haircut, which Anakin wears in the last scene. In that same scene, Obi-Wan is no longer wearing it due to getting promoted to the rank of Knight. By Attack of the Clones, Anakin still has it as a result of still being a Padawan. By The Clone Wars, Anakin and Obi-Wan have both grown their hair out as a result of being promoted to the ranks of Knight and Master respectively.
Easily Forgiven: It's more or less their main philosophy. No matter how heinous your crimes are, if you decide to switch back to the Light Side, you are allowed to.
Empathic Weapon: Lightsabers are not just a case of "point and swing". As demonstrated on occasion, if an unattuned wielder tries using one while they're not in a good headspace, then the hilt becomes increasingly heavy.
Failure Hero: In The Last Jedi, Luke argues that this is what the Jedi Order as a whole became in the final years of its existence:
Luke Skywalker: Now that they're extinct, the Jedi are romanticized, deified. But if you strip away the myth and look at their deeds, the legacy of the Jedi is failure. Hypocrisy. Hubris. At the height of their power, they allowed Darth Sidious to rise, create the Empire, and wipe them out. It was a Jedi Master who was responsible for the training and creation of Darth Vader.
Fatal Flaw: We Have Become Complacent as the Prequel movies demonstrate.
- The first scene to show this is where Qui-Gon Jinn tells the council that his attacker on Tatooine was a Sith Lord, they dismiss him outright because having seen no Sith activity since their defeat a millennia ago they are believed to be extinct.
- Expanded material has since revealed there complacency was something of an inevitability due to the Jedi Temple on Corusant being built atop the ruins of a Sith Temple. The Jedi believed they successfully capped the shrine’s power but instead it clouded the Jedi’s collective judgement until it was too late for them to sense the conspiracy against them.
  - An episode of Star Wars Resistance reveals the Jedi frequently built temples on the remains of Sith temples, as a way of sealing their evil.
  - It should be noted the active part of the shrine was actually a section that the Jedi didn’t know about as it was hidden deeper underground than the rest. It also took five thousand years for this to happen.
- Another instance of complacency is in Attack of the Clones when Obi-Wan is searching for Kamino in the Jedi Archives. When he doesn’t find it, the librarian not only dismisses it as not existing, she outright states that her records are never wrong and if he can’t find it then it simply doesn’t exist. Nobody could have expected that a revered former Jedi who was still held in good esteem and welcome in the Temple would abuse their trust and delete a whole planet from the Archives using the credentials of the best friend he assassinated.
- Also even someone as noble as Obi-Wan completely dismisses the possibility of the Republic being under the direct control of a Sith lord because he believes the Jedi would have sensed it. In fairness, Sith do specialise in deception and you can never really trust they’ll be telling you the truth about anything. Yoda and Windu also do agree to keep an eye on the Senate which means that aren’t entirely dismissing the idea of something being wrong. Windu also believes Anakin that Sidious and Palpatine are the same remarkably quickly.
- Yoda later acknowledges to Luke that in their final days the Jedi had become mired in politics and had lost touch with their true purpose. The Order refused to announce their suspicions of the Sith's return or take a more aggressive stance in their search for fear of causing a panic. Looking back, Yoda says if he knew then what he did now, he'd have done things differently.
- Ironically it’s been pointed out that had the Jedi’s refusal to get more involved with politics is one. We have numerous instances on screen where the Jedi duck out of having to deal with politics and we even know Jedi were not allowed to get involved in local political matters without Senate or High Council approval. This meant that when they were forced to play politics by the war, the Jedi were constantly on the back foot, leaving them open to situations they dislike like expelling Ahsoka. If the Jedi were more politically active before the war broke out they could have built the political capital needed to push back against such pressure. Ultimately, Palpatine didn’t defeat the Jedi Order by fighting, but through masterful political manoeuvring, placing the Jedi in a position where they compromise themselves by fighting a war deliberately designed to wear them down.
Four-Star Badass: The Jedi really get to demonstrate how badass they are when they're made generals of the Republic Army during the Clone Wars.
Frontline General: The Jedi serve as this in all of the canonical Clone Wars-focused media, such as Attack of the Clones, The Clone Wars, and Revenge of the Sith. The Jedi are all automatically generals and prefer to command from the front lines, probably because they don't fear enemy blaster fire. Jedi Master Pong Krell is an exception as he prefers to stay in the back, which he has a good reason for — he's killing as many clone troopers as possible using Hollywood Tactics before he officially betrays the Republic.
Good Cannot Comprehend Evil: The Jedi Order suffers from this problem and pays dearly for it.
Hero with Bad Publicity: Their involvement in the Clone Wars makes their claim to be peacekeepers seem hypocritical, which alienates them from the public. Palpatine uses this to his advantage when he provokes them into an assassination attempt.
He Who Fights Monsters: As the Clone Wars goes on, the Jedi take on a greater role in the Republic's military and become distanced from their role as peacemakers. Yoda in particular is very uncomfortable with the role of the Jedi in the war, especially after their failures lead to Anakin Skywalker turning to the Dark Side.
Historical Villain Upgrade: In-Universe, the official Imperial history books painted the Jedi Order as a creepy cult of child-kidnapping mystics who tried to take over the government at the end of the Clone Wars, only to be stopped and wiped out by their "heroic" clone troops.
Hope Bringer: What the Jedi are often depicted as throughout throughout the franchise. In spite of their own role in the Clone Wars, as well as the Empire’s efforts to discredit the Jedi Order, the Jedi are typically depicted as beings whose very presence inspires others to act and who give people something to believe in. This can best be seen in The Last Jedi. When Luke appears on Crait his very presence and defiance of the First Order elicits awe and helps reignite hope and a will to fight within the battered Resistance.
How the Mighty Have Fallen: Even before the Clone Wars and Order 66, the Jedi of the prequel trilogy are far from the Order at its height, or even the days of the High Republic, a mere three hundred years ago, when they had fully occupied temples on several planets across the galaxy.
In It for Life: While not official policy, it seems to be that once you're a Jedi, you're a Jedi all the way. Actual resignations, and not just someone falling to the Dark Side, are uncommon (about twenty masters over their history, with Dooku being the most recent). That said, over the years we have been given examples of other Jedi leaving the Order, from Padawans to Initiates, the majority of whom returned to their families when they didn’t become Padawans.
Jedi Mind Trick: The Trope Namer. With a wave of their hand, a Jedi can use the Force in order to influence a weak-minded individual's thoughts and actions. It’s been shown that other powerful Force users and certain alien species such as the Geonosians and Toydarians are naturally immune to mind tricks. Others, like former Mandalorian Prime Minister Almec’s corrupt police force, can be trained to resist a Jedi mind trick.
Kicking Ass in All Her Finery: Some female Jedi (such as Luminara Unduli, Barriss Offee, and Shaak Ti) wear seemingly-impractical robes while fighting. It doesn't slow them at all.
Killed Offscreen: The films showcase only a handful of the Jedi's deaths, but considering Luke is deemed the last of the Jedi in Return of the Jedi, it's a safe bet to say that a whole lot of Jedi didn't make it, or as Rebels revealed, turned to the Dark Side as a result of succumbing to despair.
Killing in Self-Defense: Generally speaking, one of the few times lethal force is permitted is if you are about to be attacked first.
Knight Errant: They often act as this due to being the guardians of peace and justice in the galaxy.
Knight Templar: At their worst, even without directly turning to the Dark Side, some Jedi can be incredibly self-righteous assholes.
Laser Blade: The lightsaber is a weapon used by the Jedi, but there's more to it than you may think. The lightsaber’s blade comes from the ignition of a kyber crystal, which are crystals that resonate with the Force and are attuned to certain users (though often, it is pretty rare for another person to be attuned to it/even find that another individual's kyber crystal is also attuned to them, usually because the Force has plans that cause things like the destruction of the crystal or something else). The crystal is initially colorless, but when a person it is attuned to finds it, it changes color. There is no indication that these colors mean anything except for black (unique to Mandalorian Jedi Tarre Vizsla), and possibly white (Ahsoka's second set of lightsabers, after she purified them from the late Sixth Brother's lightsaber), purple (Mace, an Anti-Hero/Good Is Not Nice), and yellow (the Jedi Temple Guards, who do not use their own lightsabers and instead pass these down from generation to generation). You will never find a Jedi with red lightsabers attuned to them because a kyber crystal will only turn red if someone it isn't attuned to ends up corrupting it (or "bleeding it") when they force it to attune to them.
Last Stand: Obi-Wan and Yoda went for a last stand of the Jedi as a whole when they battled Darth Vader and Darth Sidious after the execution of Order 66 wiped out the Jedi. Although Vader is injured, Sidious survives unscathed and rescues his Sith apprentice, while the Jedi are forced into exile with the Sith having won dominance of the galaxy.
Light Is Good: Despite everything as followers of the Light side of the Force, the Jedi Order is heroic to the bitter end.
Lightning Bruiser: Jedi fight without armor and use the Force to increase their speed and reflexes, and can even leap great distances. On offense or on defense, the Jedi are swift and strong.
Love Makes You Evil: This is part of their teachings… sort of. It's really more like "attachment leads to destructive obsession", or the "desire is the cause of all suffering" (which is associated with Buddhism).
Magic Knight: Jedi use the Force to give them a number of magical powers as well as swordfight effectively with their lightsabers.
Martial Pacifist: Although the Jedi don't hesitate to use violence when necessary, they don't believe in the use of preemptive violence and try hard not to kill unless there is no choice.
Yoda: A Jedi uses the Force for knowledge and defense, never for attack.
Master Swordsman: Some of them, including Yoda, Mace Windu, Anakin Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and Qui-Gon Jinn, are stated to be the greatest lightsaber duelists in the galaxy. Considering constructing a lightsaber marks the first step from Youngling to an active Jedi, it's no wonder why the Jedi take mastering the art of lightsaber combat so seriously.
Master-Apprentice Chain: Jedi training uses this in consecutive lines of Masters training their Padawans to Knighthood, who then take their own apprentices. The most significant ones in canon are:
- Yoda > Dooku > Qui-Gon Jinn > Obi-Wan Kenobi > Anakin Skywalker > Ahsoka Tano > Sabine Wren
- The Five Priestesses > Qui-Gon Jinn (as a Force spirit) > Yoda > Obi-Wan Kenobi > Luke Skywalker > Rey
- Cyslin Myr > Mace Windu > Depa Billaba > Caleb Dume/Kanan Jarrus > Ezra Bridger
Military Mage: The Jedi often act as de facto officers commanding squads of clone troopers, and are sometimes also deployed as special forces or elite bodyguards or escorts for VIPs. Jedi Knights who fight with the Republic Army are awarded the rank of General and Padawans are automatically awarded the rank of Commander.
Mind over Matter: The Jedi can use the Force to lift, push, and crush any organism or object.
Morton's Fork:
- The Jedi Order's involvement in the Clone Wars: they either participate to protect the Republic and its citizens as per their duty, risking losing their way and morals, or hold on to their morals and stay out of the war, while Dooku enslaves the galaxy — which would also go against their morals. This came to its head during the Clone Wars when they were forced to choose between defending Ahsoka as one of their own or giving her up to the Republic courts to maintain their standing with the Senate. They opted for the latter, though not without some internal dissent.
- During the later years of the Clone Wars, the Jedi face a morally grey decision: they could try to assassinate Dooku as a last resort to end the violence of the Clone Wars, compromising their ideals in the process, or continue being responsible for the deaths and suffering of millions by continuing to conduct the war as they had been doing since the beginning.
Muggles Do It Better: The Jedi Sentinels serve as one of the three distinct Branches of the Jedi Order, and instead of specializing in Lightsaber Combat like the Jedi Guardians or using The Force like the Jedi Consulars; the Jedi Sentinels hone themselves in traditional arts of intelligence gathering, computer slicing, investigation and espionage.
Sentinels approach these disciplines from the bottom up, without assuming that the Force will reveal all the answers. When you do this, you'll find there's a great deal the civilians of the galaxy can teach us.
My Country, Right or Wrong: Despite supposedly being the "guardians of peace and justice", toward the end of the Old Republic the Jedi started becoming too loyal to the increasingly corrupt or ineffectual Senate, rather than the Republic as a whole, something pointed out as far back as when Qui-Gon was a mere Padawan. By the end of the Clone Wars, some of them had only just begun to realize they were being too loyal to the whims of Palpatine rather than doing something about it, but at the same time noted there was no good solution to that one.
Obi-Wan: Our allegiance is to the Senate, not to its leader, who has stayed in office long after his term expired.
Anakin: The Senate demanded that he stayed longer.
Obi-Wan: Anakin, use your feelings, something is out of place.
National Weapon: Jedi train with lightsabers from a young age and the creation of their first lightsaber is an important rite of passage for Jedi younglings. They also serve as an identifying feature; Anakin, who's lived his life up to that point outside the Republic, recognizes Qui-Gon as a Jedi from spotting his lightsaber.
Nice Job Breaking It, Hero:
- The Jedi of the Prequels fell victim to complacency, their slowness in tackling threats resulted in it blowing up in their collective faces. Their mistrust of Anakin in Episode III due to his close relationship with the Chancellor also played a role in his fall to the Dark Side.
- Using the Clones in the Clone Wars starting with the First Battle of Geonosis, which were given to them by Dooku using Sifo-Dyas' name after he had the Pykes murder him, not only made them warmongering villains in the eyes of the public, but made them easy pickings for their own troops when Order 66 was executed. In addition, their bond with the Clones before Order 66 was given also inspires Commandant Brendol Hux to have Stormtroopers trained from birth to fight like the Clones via his Commandant's Cadets program, which eventually becomes the First Order's way of training Stormtroopers even after Tarkin discontinued the Clone Army and the Empire fell after the Battle of Jakku.
Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot: Samurai Taoist Buddhist Space Police keepers of the peace IN SPACE!
Not-So-Omniscient Council of Bickering: The Jedi Council is an ensemble of the most powerful, most knowledgeable and wisest beings in the Galaxy... yet they continue making decisions which are unwise in hindsight such as:
- Their hesitancy in believing Qui-Gon's warning about the Sith and not giving him reinforcements to protect Queen Amidala when she decided to return to Naboo and solve the Trade Federation occupation herself. This led to Qui-Gon's death at the hand of Darth Maul and the very emotional Anakin being trained by the freshly knighted and unprepared Obi-Wan.
- Lying to the emotionally unstable Anakin about Obi-Wan's faked death since they needed his reaction to be genuine. This is something Yoda outright admits to being a poor decision.
- Abandoning one of their own because the Galactic Senate put some pressure on them in the matter. Of course it didn’t help that while circumstantial the evidence of Ahsoka committing treason was strong. By this point we also have had two Jedi fall to the Dark Side in Dooku and Pong Krell so there are legitimate reasons why some of the Council decided there was a chance Ahsoka was guilty. Ahsoka also didn’t trust the Council either which resulted in her running, which in turn was what forced the Council to turn her over to the Senate.
- Not realizing that the Dark Lord of the Sith has been sitting right under their noses for decades until he personally reveals it to one of them.
Not Wearing Tights: The Jedi Order is filled with laser sword-fighting people with superpowers from a variety of worlds that can control the fabric of reality to see the future, move objects with their minds, and perform incredible feats of acrobatics, but Jedi are treated more like knights, monks, and generals than superheroes.
One-Man Army: Zig-Zagged. As has been shown often, while all Jedi have a degree of martial training and a certain level of combat experience is mandatory, they also specialized in the areas of the force and tasks that they had a strong affinity with. While any Jedi would have no trouble defeating dozens of simple thugs, a squad of trained soldiers, or a handful of combat droids, most Jedi weren't the melee monsters that Mace Windu, Obi Wan, Yoda, or Anakin were. Many Jedi were librarians, negotiators, archeologists, and experts in a number of non-combat related fields. Likewise, their force aptitudes may not have lent themselves at all towards direct combat such as Jedi who had a strong affinity for empathy, precognition, psychometry or a variety of passive or utility force powers. While the Jedi who specialized in combat could decimate a small army of normal clone troopers on their own, most of the others in the order were only on the level of elite soldiers or specialists.
Order Reborn: Luke tried doing this after the Empire fell. The machinations of Snoke manage to scupper that.
The Paladin: As a whole, they are an order of noble religious knights that stand For Great Justice. The Force itself can be considered the God of Good of Star Wars.
Pride: The Jedi Order is generally complacent after a millennium of getting mired in the Republic's affairs and not encountering the Sith. While speaking with Obi-Wan and Windu, Yoda also acknowledges in the form of a Stealth Insult that Jedi aren’t immune to overconfidence.
Obi-Wan: [Anakin's] abilities have made him... well, arrogant.
Yoda: Yes. A flaw more and more common among Jedi. Too sure of themselves they are. Even the older, more experienced ones.
Properly Paranoid: They are initially reluctant to train Anakin as a Jedi on account of him being too old to begin his training and thus vulnerable to the Dark Side. Slowly turns into Improperly Paranoid when their mistrust of him in Revenge of the Sith despite his achievements leaves him feeling alienated which in turn makes it easier for Palpatine to gain turn him to the Dark side.
Psychoactive Powers: A Jedi's lightsaber — indeed, any lightsaber — reacts to the wielder's emotional state. Having a focused or balanced mind creates a connection to the weapon which makes it lighter and easier to wield.
The Purge: Order 66 reduced the Jedi Order from roughly 10,000 to a few dozen known survivors, many of whom were subsequently hunted down and killed over the next two decades by Darth Vader and the Inquisitors. By A New Hope, the only confirmed survivors are Obi-Wan, Yoda, and Ahsoka (in a technical sense), with Ezra Bridger missing and Naq Med having renounced the Jedi ways and in hiding.
Renaissance Man: Jedi training will teach you military leadership, diplomacy, how to pilot a starfighter, presumably a bit of political philosophy, and meditative techniques that give you psychic powers. Also, you'll learn several fencing styles with a lightsaber, a weapon most of the galaxy regards as extravagant, and dangerous.
Rubber-Forehead Aliens: The Jedi Order has a significant amount of humanoid aliens.
Schrödinger's Canon: In Legends, the Jedi Order only instituted its famous policy of "no attachments" after a disastrous war started by a Jedi who turned to the Dark Side and became an extremely powerful and dangerous Sith Lord. Before this, it was perfectly acceptable for Jedi to have families and be in contact with their blood relatives. After the Battle of Endor, this would resurface in the New Jedi Order, though in the current canon that doesn’t seem to be the case.^note
Seers: The Force often grants its users premonitions or even visions of the past, future, or far away places. However, the Jedi's ability to do so is severely diminished during the time of the Clone Wars due to the Dark Side clouding their senses.
Self-Fulfilling Prophecy: Their wariness to trust Anakin due to his closeness to Palpatine is a major part of why he sides with the Sith Lord and ends up turning to the dark side.
Shrouded in Myth: Thanks to the Empire's efforts to wipe their legacy from history, by the time of the Original Trilogy knowledge of the Jedi and even the Force itself had faded from most galactic citizens' memory, and tales of the Jedi Knights were considered the stuff of "folklore and children's tales" according to Moff Tarkin.
The Spock: The Jedi ideal is to let go of emotion and passion to commune with the Force. This has been frequently misunderstood as the Jedi promoting emotional suppression when repressing emotions is actually the exact opposite of what they teach their members.
Suspiciously Similar Substitute: Between The Clone Wars and Revenge of the Sith, the Tholothian Adi Gallia and Zabrak Eeth Koth are switched out on the Jedi Council by two other Jedi of the same species, Stass Allie and Agen Kolar respectively. You'd have to pay extra close attention to notice and the characters are so minor in the Prequel Trilogy that it doesn't even change much of anything in the films. Justified since Gallia was killed by Savage Opress and Koth was dismissed from the Jedi Order.
Technical Pacifist: They regard themselves as "keepers of the peace" who try to defend life and only kill when necessary. Even when the Jedi Order is almost defunct, they try to solve problems peacefully rather than rush into battle.
Trade Your Passion for Glory: Yoda tells Luke that part of the reason the Jedi fell was that the Order had lost touch with their spiritual and peaceful ways, allowing themselves to become mired in political and material matters while acting as peacekeepers for the Republic.
Uncertain Doom: The Order was functionally wiped out by Order 66 and the following Purge but there was also a not insignificant number of Jedi who survived and went into hiding. There are a number of Jedi who's fates are technically unknown; it can usually be assumed they died in the Purge but without explicit confirmation it's possible they are among the handful of survivors.
Villains Act, Heroes React: This is cited as one of the flaws of the Jedi and reasons Palpatine was able to wipe most of them out. With the Sith long believed gone, the Jedi had gotten out of the habit of actively seeking out evil and mostly just reacted to threats as they presented themselves. This tendency made it easier for the Sith to stay in hiding for hundreds of years and plot against the Jedi — since they were inactive (in terms of personally antagonizing the Jedi), the Jedi simply failed to notice them.
Vow of Celibacy: The Jedi frown on having strong attachments, so Anakin Skywalker is not able to continue his relationship with Padmé Amidala openly. Although, Word of God is that the Jedi are allowed to have casual sex.
Warrior Monk: They combine Western chivalry and swordsmanship with Eastern mysticism and acrobatics.
What the Hell, Hero?: The Clone Wars often went out of its way to have various characters call the Order, particularly the Council, out for their dubious actions:
- During the Deception arc, they fake Obi-Wan's death so he could thwart Count Dooku's plan to kidnap Palpatine from within. When Anakin finds out that they deliberately lied to him so his reaction would sell Obi-Wan's death, he calls them out on it.
- There are three instances of this trope in "The Wrong Jedi":
  - Asajj Ventress delivers an indirect one through Anakin via comparing how the Jedi Council abandoned and effectively betrayed Ahsoka to how Dooku did the same to her. Anakin is outright horrified when he realizes she's right.
  - Barriss Offee justifies her attack on the Order as a stand against the growing corruption of its principles, claiming that they've become the very menace they are supposed to be fighting. She's right, too, even if none of them realize why.
  - While Ahsoka doesn't call them out on it directly after she's been cleared of the charges, her expression speaks volumes of her opinion when the same people who praise her strength and resilience previously gave her up to the Senate Court as a traitor not long before, which almost led to her execution. They offer to promote her to Jedi Knight, but she just walks away, leaving several members of the Council shaken.
- Obi-Wan delivers another to the Council at the end of Dark Disciple for ordering Quinlan Vos, a fellow Jedi Master, to assassinate Dooku, claiming that everything that went wrong with the mission was because, no matter the intentions, such a course of action is clearly of the Dark Side.
The Window or the Stairs: This is part of Jedi philosophy. The Dark Side is the quick and easy path to power, but it will exact a terrible price from you and everyone you care about in the long run. Unless you're okay with that.

Jedi Temple Guard

In General

Jedi Temple Guard

Cease hostility!

Voiced by: Stephen Stanton

Appearances: The Clone Wars | Kanan | Rebels

The Jedi Temple Guard was a security force maintained by the Jedi Order and tasked with the protection of the Jedi Temple on Coruscant, the capital planet of the Galactic Republic. An ancient and honored tradition in Jedi history, the Temple Guards were Jedi Knights plucked from the ranks to become anonymous sentinels as part of their lifelong commitment to the Order. They carried special lightsaber pikes which produced yellow blades. They were led by Jedi Master Cin Drallig, the head of security.

Badass Longrobe: They wear golden-brown robes with Jedi patterns on them to signify their loyalty to the order.
Cool Mask: Their faces are hidden behind identity-concealing masks, the ultimate expression of emotional detachment required in service to a higher calling.
Double Weapon: They carry imposing lightsaber pikes — thick, double-bladed weapons with rare and distinctive yellow blades.
Fallen Hero: At least one of them, the Sentinel, fell to the Dark Side and became the Grand Inquisitor. He was one of the masked guards in The Clone Wars.
Gate Guardian: Their duty is to guard the Jedi Temple.
In the Hood: They usually keep their robes' hoods up to conceal their individual identities.
Laser Blade: Their lightsaber pikes produce yellow blades, which were considered rare among Jedi of the time. The blades are shorter than normal double-bladed lightsabers. Word of God is that these lightsabers are passed down from generation to generation and aren't actually forged of each individual member's own accord.
Light Is Good: They wear golden-brown robes, wield yellow-bladed lightsaber pikes, and are loyal to the Jedi Order.
Muggles Do It Better: According to the Expanded Universe, the Jedi Temple Guards are a part of the Jedi Sentinels; a sect of the Order that serves as the Jedis' Black Ops specialist division who employ Outside-Of-The-Box tactics when it comes to protecting the Galaxy; often employing methods such as espionage, surveillance, and things that most other Jedi would either frown or look down upon.
Reassigned to Antarctica: The Jedi Temple Guards were once known as the Jedi Sentinels, and on top of their approach to problems, they also were capable for hunting down both Sith and Dark Jedi; along with serving alongside local law enforcement across the Galaxy, serving the needs of the commonfolk and the destitute within both the Mid and Outer Rim. However, once the Sith were said to have been defeated. The Jedi Order recalled the Sentinels and repurposed them as the glorified Praetorian Guard we see patrolling the Jedi Temple and not told to leave the grounds. Come The Clone Wars and later Order 66; this decision served to severely bite the Jedi Order in the ass.
Secret Test of Character: Visions of them gave one to Kanan when he sought guidance to fight the Inquisitors. At the end of it, one of them unmasked himself. It was the vision of the former self of the Grand Inquisitor, back before he fell to the Dark Side.
The Stoic: There seems to be a heavy emphasis on no attachments for them, much more than the rest of the Jedi Order. They are masked so that people don't identify with them, and their lightsabers aren't even their own, instead having been passed down from the previous generation of Temple Guards.
Uncertain Doom: Their greatest challenge in recent times was probably the attack on the Jedi Temple during the Jedi Purge. For all their skill, they presumably ultimately didn't do so well. And knowing that the Sentinel didn't take it so well either...
Undying Loyalty: To the Jedi Order.

Arath Tarrex

Jedi Arath Tarrex

Species: Human

Portrayed by: ???

Appearances: Dooku: Jedi Lost

A contemporary of Dooku, Arath was a Jedi diplomat who was regarded as an incompetent and irresponsible knight by the Order.

Bastard Bastard: He's an illegitimate child who's a worthless and cocky douchebag.
Child of Forbidden Love: It is eventually revealed that Arath is the son of Jedi Master and Council member Yula Braylon, who brought him to the Temple after secretly giving birth while on assignment. He only figured it out himself after a few decades.
Dirty Cop: Uses his position as a Jedi to steal from powerful diplomats and other individuals whom he is assigned to guard or work with.
The Gambling Addict: Among many of Arath's failings as a Jedi is his love of gambling, which puts him heavily in debt to several underworld figures who love having a Jedi in their pocket.
Hate Sink: Is a thoroughly unlikeable and unpleasant person with no redeeming traits or qualities.
Jerk with a Heart of Jerk: Even as a youngling, Arath was arrogant and had a chip on his shoulder about being a Jedi. Every time it seems he might be on the verge of learning a lesson, he proves himself to be just as awful as ever.
Just a Machine: Assaults and tortures a droid sent to get a payment from him while commenting that nobody cares about the wellbeing of droids.
The Load: Any time Arath is involved in a mission, things are sure to go wrong due to his many vices.
Punishment Detail: He is assigned to the Jedi Archives after being exposed as the thief who stole ambassador Ketas' sigil to sell and pay back a gambling debt.
The Resenter: Ever since they were younglings, Arath was jealous of Dooku and his skills and the easy way he advanced as a Jedi.

Rael Averross

Jedi Rael Averross

Species: Human

Homeworld: Ringo Vinda

Appearances: Dooku: Jedi Lost | Master & Apprentice

A former Padawan of Count Dooku. At one point before the Trade Federation's invasion of Naboo, Rael requested Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan to settle a dispute on Pijal, where he served as Lord Regent for Princess Fanry.

The Apprentice: He's Dooku's first Padawan before Qui-Gon.
He Cleans Up Nicely: Cleans up and wears clean formal clothes for the first time in his life at Fanry's coronation, with several characters not recognizing him at first and commenting that he was handsome.
Heroic BSoD: Briefly lapses into this when Fanry reveals herself as the mastermind behind the blackguard attacks.
Laser Blade: He uses a blue lightsaber.
Meaningful Name: Averroes is a philosopher.
Mr. Vice Guy: Slovenly, fully enjoys the fine food and drink of the palace, always smoking a death stick, and views the Order's teachings on celibacy as an abstract ideal at best.
My Greatest Failure: The death of his Padawan, Nim Pianna, at his hands after she was infected by nanotechnology via a slicer dart that caused her to unwillingly attack him.
Replacement Goldfish: Cleary views raising and teaching Fanry as a chance to make up for what happened to Nim, which Fanry resents him heavily for.
Unwitting Instigator of Doom: Introducing his master Dooku to Palpatine unknowingly sets up his master's downfall, Yaddle's death, and Palpatine's victory in destroying the Jedi and the Republic. By getting the two acquainted, Palpatine manages to get another political pawn by his side who he would later corrupt into a Sith Lord after Maul's supposed death, have him kill Yaddle to stop her from squealing to the Jedi about him being the Sith Lord behind the Trade Federation's invasion of his home planet, help him in creating the clone army and starting the Clone Wars which would end up exterminating the Jedi Order, while Dooku himself was being used as a placeholder for Palpatine's Sith Apprentice until Anakin Skywalker was strong enough to kill him and take his place.

Khaat Qiyn

Jedi Khaat Qiyn

Species: Human

Portrayed by: Zuraya Hamilton

Appearances: Darth Maul | Attack of the Clones

"Careful, my young Padawan. The shadows hold great rage... constrained, but so deep it might swallow you whole."

Khaat Qiyn was a human female Jedi that served the Jedi Order before the Clone Wars. She and her Padawan were among the Jedi sent to the First Battle of Geonosis at the beginning of the Clone Wars.

Being Watched: She and her Padawan sense a dark presence watching them, this presence being Maul. Maul flees before the duo can investigate, causing Jace to believe they were just being paranoid.
The Cameo: She and her Padawan show up in the first issue of Darth Maul to serve as examples of how the Jedi have been lulled into a false sense of security and are misled into believing signs of things not being what they seem as nothing.
Laser Blade: She wields a blue lightsaber.
The Mentor: To Bairdon Jace.
What Happened to the Mouse?: We never see her again after the First Battle of Geonosis in the canon. Back in Legends, it was stated that she was likely one of the casualties.

Jak'zin

Jedi Jak'zin

Species: Togorian

Appearances: Yoda | Star Wars: Age of Republic

A Togorian Jedi Knight on a mission to Sullust in the years leading up to the Clone Wars. While there, he happened to encounter Count Dooku, recognizing him from his time as a Jedi Master.

Broken Pedestal: Downplayed. At the start of the issue, he clearly admires Dooku greatly. That admiration takes a crack when he sees that Dooku has a red lightsaber, but he never gets the chance to truly consider the implications before Dooku kills him.
Cat Folk: Togorians resemble anthropomorphic large cats. In Jak'zin's case, he's a tiger.
He Knows Too Much: Dooku kills him when he sees his red lightsaber and starts to get suspicious of him because of it.
In the Back: Dooku telekinetically lifts up a blaster and shoots him in the back with it while he's too distracted questioning him about why he has a red lightsaber.
Laser Blade: He wields a blue-bladed lightsaber.
Nice Guy: From what we see of him, he seems like a decent fellow.
We Hardly Knew Ye: He is killed by Dooku in the same issue he was introduced in. Yoda (set many years before his death) expands on his character a bit.

Siri Tachi

Jedi Siri Tachi

Species: Human

Appearances: Padawan | Brotherhood | From a Certain Point of View: The Empire Strikes Back

A Padawan contemporary and friend of Obi-Wan Kenobi who later rose to the rank of Jedi Knight and trained a Padawan of her own.

Canon Immigrant: Reintroduced into canon in the short story "There Is Always Another" after being a prominent character in the Jedi Apprentice series in Legends.
The Mentor: Trained an apprentice to Knighthood around the beginning of the Clone Wars.
Schrödinger's Canon:
- Her Master was Adi Gallia.
- She wielded a violet-bladed lightsaber.
- She had an apprentice named Ferus Olin.
- She died on a mission during the Clone Wars.
Ship Tease: With Obi-Wan, who recalls wanting to hold hands under the table with Siri during the mid-day meals at the Jedi Temple but resisted due to the Jedi Order forbidding attachments.

Knighted and active by approx. 22-19 BBY

Rissa Mano

Jedi Rissa Mano

Species: Devaronian

Appearances: Jedi of the Republic

A recently promoted Jedi Knight. Her engineering and piloting skills caused her to gain recognition from Mace Windu and the Jedi Council, allowing Master Windu to recruit her on a reconnaissance mission to Hissrich during the early stages of the Clone Wars.

Ace Pilot: She is said to be a better pilot than Plo Koon.
Ascended Fangirl: She holds Mace Windu in high regard, considering him one of the best Jedi of all time, and is excited to be going on a mission with him.
I Call Her "Vera": She named her lightsaber "Marcie". Mace seems a little weirded out by this.
The Knights Who Say "Squee!": She is thrilled to be on a mission with Mace Windu, who she considers to be one of the greatest Jedi of all time.
Laser Blade: Wields a blue-bladed lightsaber that she named "Marcie".

Nahdar Vebb

Jedi Nahdar Vebb

Species: Mon Calamari

Homeworld: Mon Cala

Voiced by: Tom Kenny

Appearances: The Clone Wars

"But in this war, strength prevails. The rules have changed."

Nahdar Vebb was a Mon Calamari Jedi Knight who lived during the final days of the Jedi Order and the Galactic Republic. He was trained as a Jedi by Kit Fisto, with whom he reunited on the third moon of Vassek. Along with several clone troopers under Clone Commander Fil, the Jedi discovered the lair of General Grievous. During an attempt to capture the cyborg general, Vebb engaged Grievous in a lightsaber duel and was killed by Grievous shooting him.

The Apprentice: Before the Clone Wars, he was Kit Fisto's Padawan, but his master became too busy with the war to finish his training and be there to watch Nahdar become a Jedi Knight.
Blue Is Heroic: The color of his lightsaber's blade is blue.
Curb-Stomp Battle: Grievous easily overpowers him and puts him on the defensive before using one of his free arms to grab a blaster and gun him down.
Don't Make Me Destroy You: He says this word-for-word to Grievous. It doesn't turn out the way he thought it would.
A Father to His Men: He cares greatly for the clone troopers under his command and is very upset when they're killed.
Fish People: He's a Mon Calamari.
Hot-Blooded: This proves to be his Fatal Flaw when he impulsively goes up against Grievous.
Laser Blade: He wields a blue-bladed lightsaber. Grievous attempts to claim it as another trophy, but Kit Fisto manages to disarm him of it and recover Nahdar's lightsaber.
Mauve Shirt: He gets just enough time to establish himself as sympathetic before Grievous kills him.
Meaningful Name: "Nahdar" seems derivative of the Spanish word "nadar" which means "to swim". Fitting for a Mon Calamari.
Mind over Matter: He tends to use the Force a lot while fighting and also uses it to clear out the fog surrounding Grievous' lair to reveal the entrance. Kit calls him out on the fact that he continued to use the Force to abuse the remains of several battle droids they just killed.
Kit: I didn't forget to teach you restraint, did I, my old Padawan?
Nahdar: I'm sorry, Master. I got carried away.
Never Bring a Knife to a Gun Fight: When he is dueling Grievous, the general Blade Locks his lightsaber before shooting him with a blaster held in one of his other hands.
Red Oni, Blue Oni: The Red to Kit Fisto's Blue. He's rather hotheaded and impulsive in contrast to his master's more relaxed and wise attitude.
Revenge: He wants this for all those killed by Grievous. Unfortunately, it blinds him to the fact he is not skilled enough to face Grievous by himself and ends up getting him killed.
Sacrificial Lion: He is killed by General Grievous, who uses one of his extra arms to pull out a blaster and shoot Nahdar while their lightsabers were locked together.
Underestimating Badassery: Believed he could fight and take down Grievous by himself. He's dead wrong.

Akar-Deshu

Jedi Akar-Deshu

Species: Mahran

Homeworld: Mahranee

Appearances: Dark Disciple

Akar-Deshu was a Mahran Jedi Knight and friend of Jedi Master Quinlan Vos.

Blue Is Heroic: His lightsaber is blue.
Deadpan Snarker: One of the reasons he gets along so well with Vos is because they have the same snarky and playful sense of humor.
Doomed Homeworld: Mahranee is attacked by the Separatists late in the Clone Wars, with Count Dooku ordering the refugee fleet that escaped the planet to be destroyed and all the remaining Mahran on the world to be shot on sight. Desh is devastated by the fate of his homeworld and death of much of his species, but knows there is very little he can do about the situation.
Heroic Sacrifice: After Vos falls to the Dark Side and attempts to escape custody along with Dooku, Desh, having been disarmed of his lightsaber, attempts to kill him using his stinger, which will kill both him and whoever he injects. Unfortunately, Vos uses the Force to make him hit fellow Jedi Knight Kav Bayons instead.
In-Series Nickname: He is called Desh by Vos and several other characters.
Laser Blade: He has a blue-bladed lightsaber.
Mercy Kill: Vos kills him as Desh lies dying from using his stinger. Desh's last thoughts are wondering if Vos was killing him as a mercy to spare him from a painful death or a cruelty by having his last sight be his best friend killing him.
Pint-Sized Powerhouse: Mahran are small and thin, but, with the Force and Jedi training, Desh is perfectly capable of beating a Gamorrean in hand-to-hand combat.

Rig Nema

Doctor Rig Nema

Species: Halaisi

Homeworld: Halais

Voiced by: Catherine Taber

Appearances: The Clone Wars

Rig Nema was a female Consular Jedi doctor who served the Jedi Order during the Clone Wars, the full-scale conflict between the Galactic Republic and the Confederacy of Independent Systems. At some time during the war, one of Doctor Nema's patients was Grand Master Yoda, who had started to hear the disembodied voice of the late Master Qui-Gon Jinn via the Force, much to the Jedi Council's concern.

All There in the Script: While never seen in the series, her concept art reveals that she wields a green-bladed lightsaber.
Laser Blade: She has a green lightsaber.
The Medic: She is a trained doctor and skilled in the Force and the Council thinks highly enough of her skills to turn to her to find out if anything is wrong with Yoda.
The Mentor: It is mentioned that she takes on Mill Alibeth as her student at the end of Brotherhood to help her train her ability to sense other beings needs and nature.
Ms. Fanservice: Mild example. If anything, her outfit of choice is pretty revealing for a doctor.
Mythology Gag: Her appearance/species is based off of concept art of Mace Windu for The Phantom Menace.
Uncertain Doom: Being based at the Jedi Temple on Coruscant, things don't look too bright for her when Order 66 gets executed. Though if Madame Jocasta — a Retired Badass librarian — can survive, that opens up the possibility of survival for other Temple-based Jedi.
Yellow-Skinned Space Babe: She looks like a human, except for her yellow skin and golden eyes. However, she is still attractive.

Sora Bulq

Jedi Sora Bulq

Species: Weequay

Portrayed by: ???

Appearances: Attack of the Clones | The Clone Wars

Sora Bulq was a Weequay Jedi who served the Galactic Republic and the Jedi Order during the Clone Wars against the Separatists.

Adaptational Heroism: In Legends, he turned to the Dark Side very early in the war and became Count Dooku's leading disciple. In canon, he remained a loyal Jedi who survived at least into the third year of the war.
Adaptational Wimp: Bulq in canon has no big feats, and nothing special is said about his abilities as a Jedi. In contrast, Bulq in Legends earned rightfully the title of Dooku's greatest Dark Acolyte: he was a lightsaber prodigy that could contend with Windu himself with his Form VII skills and, while not a terribly strong Force user, also excelled at unique techniques like illusions and stealth, which could make him a nightmare to fight.
Laser Blade: He wields a blue lightsaber.
Recurring Extra: He appears as a background character several times in The Clone Wars, with his identity confirmed in concept art posted in the episode guides.
Uncertain Doom: Since he never had his Face–Heel Turn in canon that he had in Legends, he may have died in Order 66 or the ensuing Jedi Purge.

Charlin Plaka

Species: Twi'lek

Appearances: Inquisitor: Rise of the Red Blade

A Jedi Knight who was Iskat Akaris's rival during the latter's Jedi days.

Alpha Bitch: Charlin loves to insult Jedi who are failures, most of her insults being targeted at Iskat.
Green-Skinned Space Babe: Pink Skinned in her case.
How the Mighty Have Fallen: When's she encountered on Firrhana a few years after Order 66, Iskat taunts her for all the times she's insulted her abilities as a Jedi and for sticking to the near dead Order's teachings.
Karmic Death: She gets murdered by Iskat, a former Jedi, now Inquisitor she bullied.
The Rival: She and Iskat had a bitter rivalry during the days of the Republic.

Finn Ertay

Jedi Finn Ertay

Species: Twi'lek

Appearances: The Clone Wars

Eldra Kaitis

Species: Twi'lek

Appearances: Darth Maul

"You think you scare me? You're the one lurking in the shadows... keeping who you really are secret. You're the one who's scared."

Eldra Kaitis was a young Twi'lek female Padawan. Prior to the Invasion of Naboo, Eldra was captured by the Xrexus Cartel's boss, Xev Xrexus. The apprentice of Darth Sidious, Darth Maul, learned of Eldra's capture and searched for the Padawan before she could be auctioned off, wanting to test his abilities against her.

Action Girl: Maul notes she'll be a Worthy Opponent. This is not too long before Maul fought and killed Qui-Gon, a Jedi Master, and Eldra is still a Padawan.
Alien Hair: As with the other Twi'leks, she has lekku instead of hair.
Badass in Distress: Maul notes that she's old enough and skilled enough to be promoted to Jedi Knight and she handles herself quite fine when she gets captured.
Blue Is Heroic: Has blue skin, blue eyes, and a blue lightsaber.
Damsel in Distress: She's been captured by a crime syndicate that wants to auction her off to the highest bidder, and unbeknownst to (barely) anyone, Maul is on the hunt for her. Considering Eldra learns about Maul and the Jedi can't learn about him until later, this might not be a sign of good things to come for the young Padawan.
Defiant Captive: Snarks and defies all her capturers constantly, including Maul, even after learning what he really is.
Due to the Dead: Considering her a Worthy Opponent, Maul remarks as she dies that while she had earlier claimed she was just a Padawan, "make no mistake, Eldra Kaitis, you are a Jedi."
Foregone Conclusion: Because the Jedi Order can't know that the Sith are still alive in the form of Sidious and Maul until The Phantom Menace, something must've happened to her to prevent them from knowing sooner. Given that Maul wants to fight her to the death... she dies.
Get It Over With: Tells Maul point-blank that if he's going to kill her while she's helpless then get it done, and if he's not, give her a lightsaber so she can fight for her life. Maul notes that she has no fear before they duel and that she's resigned herself to either her death or Maul's.
Harmful to Minors: Considering she's a young Twi'lek girl, things really don't sound good for her, She at least escapes the custody of the cartel, but that ends up leading her into a meeting with Maul. Though unlike many other Jedi Padawans that have been abducted, she can take care of herself quite fine.
Hidden Depths: Maul senses that she has anger in her heart, something that would've made her susceptible to the dark side. He laments to himself that had circumstances been different, she could've been an ally, but he's already committed to killing her once things are said and done, so he can't go back on this choice.
I Gave My Word: She offers to help Maul fight off the syndicates if he removes her cuffs and gives back her lightsaber. He complies, and instead of running off or stabbing him in the back, she stays and fights the criminals off.
Laser Blade: She wields a blue-bladed one, which goes well with her blue skin and eyes.
Trash Talk: Trades a few barbs with Maul right before they start.
Worthy Opponent: Maul is decidedly surprised by her skill and pleased by the fact that she comes very close to killing him, telling her as she dies that she is a Jedi, not just a Padawan.

Bairdon Jace

Species: Human

Portrayed by: Jason Baird

Appearances: Darth Maul | Attack of the Clones

Bairdon Jace was the male human Padawan of Khaat Qiyn before the Invasion of Naboo and the Clone Wars. He and his master were part of the assault team that fought at the First Battle of Geonosis.

Being Watched: He and his master sense a dark presence watching them, this presence being Maul. Maul flees before the duo can investigate, causing Jace to believe they were just being paranoid.
The Cameo: He and Qiyn show up in the first issue of Darth Maul to serve as examples of how the Jedi have been lulled into a false sense of security and are misled into believing signs of things not being what they seem as nothing.
Laser Blade: Has a blue-bladed lightsaber.
Prematurely Grey-Haired: In his picture, he's only in his early twenties at the latest, but just look at his hair.
Schrödinger's Canon: Though never explicitly confirmed, his name is presumably Bairdon Jace, like it was in Legends. Word of God has stated that there's little reason to change the names of characters like Bairdon Jace, so it might as well be the same.
Tuckerization: His name is derived from his actor's name, Jason Baird.

Barriss Offee

See her entry on the Fallen Jedi page.

Ferren Barr

"Once the galaxy sees what the Empire is capable of, they will resist."

Species: Iktotchi

Appearances: Dark Lord of the Sith

"The past does not die. I study the past, you see. It's all I've done since I went into hiding after the purge. I tracked down every bit of information about how Palpatine tricked the galaxy."

Ferren Barr was a Iktotchi Padawan who, along with a handful of rebels he recruited, managed to hide out on Mon Cala following Order 66.

Arc Villain: For The Burning Seas
Anti-Villain: He means well, but in his desperation to fight the Empire, he took on much of its ruthlessness, becoming cold to the individual lives of others in the same way Palpatine is.
Expy: He looks almost identical to Master Saesee Tiin.
He Who Fights Monsters: He manipulates others (up to and including the planet of Mon Cala) into fighting the Empire through half-truths and deceit, fully expecting to sacrifice their lives such that — in the future — those unwitting sacrifices will result in the Empire's eventual defeat. That the audience knows that there will eventually be positive outcomes to his actions doesn't stop those who know of them in-universe from being suitably horrified.
Lee-Char: Billions of people are dying.
Barr: Billions who will inspire trillions. As was my plan.
Vader: You are NO Jedi.
Barr: Perhaps not. Not anymore. Makes two of us, eh? But I made my choices. And I might not be a Jedi… but I still beat the Sith.
Horned Humanoid: A trait of the Iktotchi species. Notably, Barr's right horn was broken at some point.
I Know Your True Name: Managed to uncover Darth Vader's true identity as Anakin Skywalker. He also knows the Inquisitors' true identities.
In the Hood: Done as a Bait-and-Switch to make the audience think he might be Obi-Wan Kenobi, given that he already knows who Vader is. In-Universe it serves to hide his prominent horns.
Jedi Mind Trick: He is extremely skilled with these, which is how he built his following by nudging individuals wronged by the Empire into taking the final step and following him (unlike other Jedi, he doesn't use his mind powers on the weak-minded, but on the well-motivated). Barr also uses it to retrigger the Order 66 programing in the Inquisitorius' Purge Troopers and get them to turn on the Inquisitors.
Laser Blade: Wields a blue lightsaber.
Grin of Audacity: His facial expression when pulling the above Mind Trick on the Purge Troopers.
Manipulative Bastard: Towards Lee-Char: he did not lie about the threat of the Empire, or the fact that Mon Cala would be essential in defeating it, but he led the King to believe that the planet had a chance in fighting back — and then manipulated the situation to ensure an Imperial attack — when all he wanted was to ensure Admiral Raddus and the Mon Cala cruisers escaped the chaos and thus eventually become the backbone of the Rebellion. That this results in millions of Mon Calamari deaths and Lee-Char's capture/torture for decades does not bother him, but it devastates Lee-Char.
Barr: A time will come, decades from now, when the ships of the Mon Calamari are at the forefront of a great rebellion. And then, again, decades after that. Your people's vessels will be a symbol of freedom and defiance across the galaxy. And it all started here, Your Majesty. With you.
Pretext for War: To ensure there won't be a peaceful resolution to the crisis, he blows up the shuttle carrying the Imperial ambassador, causing Tarkin's forces to invade. He also convinces Lee-Char to continue resisting when even Admiral Akbar says it would be best to negotiate, having won a short-term success. By the time Lee-Char is willing to surrender it's too late.
Pride: When confronting Darth Vader, the Sith Lord comments that he senses much pride within Barr, who acknowledges this and claims he should feel prideful for all he has accomplished against the Empire on Mon Cala.
Barr: When all is said and done, I'll be the reason Palpatine's cursed Empire crumbles into ash.
Take Up My Sword: All his companions give their lives to Hold the Line so he can escape. When he realises there's no chance of them doing so, he tells the Force-sensitive Verla to get off the planet and seek out a Jedi who can instruct her, as he intends to remain and fight Vader.
Well-Intentioned Extremist: It's implied that he Force-tricked some of his compatriots into helping him in his fight against the Empire, but if the sudden and brief flashback pages are any indication, he might feel bad about it though does see it as a necessary sacrifice.

Zett Jukassa

Species: Human

Portrayed by: Jett Lucas

Appearances: Attack of the Clones | Revenge of the Sith

Zett Jukassa was a young Padawan who was at the Jedi Temple when Order 66 was issued. His death was witnessed by Senator Bail Organa.

Ascended Extra: In Attack of the Clones, he was the youngling who answered Yoda's question on what happened to the information on Kamino. In Revenge of the Sith, he is the young Jedi who fought off a few troopers only to get shot down in front of Bail Organa, in a very shocking moment.
Blue Is Heroic: His lightsaber blade is blue.
Cavalry Betrayal: He is killed by clone troopers of the 501^st when Order 66 was issued.
Creator Cameo: He's played by George Lucas' son Jett.
Death of a Child: Unlike some of the younger students, he is shown being killed on-screen.
Dying Moment of Awesome: He manages to drag six clone troopers down with him, a very impressive feat for a youngling and a lot better than several Jedi Masters did.
Laser Blade: He wields a blue-bladed lightsaber.

Ahsoka Tano

Knox

Species: Nautolan

Voiced by: Dee Bradley Baker

Appearances: The Clone Wars

Knox was a Nautolan Jedi Padawan apprenticed to Jedi Master Halsey during the Clone Wars. Alongside his master, he partook in the Republic defense of the Temple of Eedit on the planet Devaron. The two were initially successful in defeating the battle droids, but were killed by Savage Opress after he entered the battle.

Alien Hair: His tentacles.
The Apprentice: He's the Padawan learner of Halsey.
Big "NO!": As Savage killed his master, Halsey.
Curb-Stomp Battle: Savage killed him in one move.
Fish People: Nautolans are an aquatic species.
Laser Blade: He wields a blue-bladed lightsaber.
Punched Across the Room: Savage hits him so hard that he's sent flying to a temple door, killing him.
Reused Character Design: Knox's body reuses Bolla Ropal's geometry, but with newly textured finishes.
Rubber-Forehead Alien: He's a Nautolan like Kit Fisto.
Sacrificial Lamb: He is Savage's second Jedi victim.
We Hardly Knew Ye: He died within a few minutes of being introduced.

Bene

Species: Human

Portrayed by: Mousy McCallum

Appearances: Revenge of the Sith

A female Padawan killed by Darth Vader when he and the 501^st marched to the Jedi Temple on Coruscant during the Jedi Purge.

Creator Cameo: She is played by the daughter of Rick McCallum, who was a producer of the Prequel Trilogy.
Death by Cameo: She gets killed during her small minutes of screen time.
Force-Choke: Vader casually kills her using this while fighting both Cin Drallig and White Malreaux.
Laser Blade: She uses a blue lightsaber.
Red Shirt: Exists solely to be killed by Vader, showing off how powerful he is with the Dark Side by choking her to death with the Force while not even looking at her as he duels one of the best swordsmen in the Jedi Order.

Whie Malreaux

Species: Human

Portrayed by: Coinneach Alexander

Appearances: Revenge of the Sith

A male Padawan killed by Darth Vader when he and the 501^st marched to the Jedi Temple on Coruscant during the Jedi Purge.

Laser Blade: Uses a green-bladed lightsaber.
Red Shirt: Exists solely to be killed by Vader in a futile attempt with Bene and Cin Drallig to fight him off.
Schrödinger's Canon: His homeworld is Vjun.

Caleb Dume

Caleb Dume/Kanan Jarrus

Cal Kestis

Jedi Initiates

Sammo Quid

Species: Twi'lek

Appearances: Kanan

A male Initiate that was classmates with Caleb Dume and Tai Uzuma.

Alien Hair: As with the other Twi'leks, he has lekku instead of hair.
Cowardly Lion: While he shows some signs of being a Dirty Coward he is a Jedi who has completed the tests he needs to be eligible as a Padawan, and his fears of the ongoing war are quite justified.
Dramatic Irony: He doesn't believe that Caleb will last long under Master Depa Billaba, under the belief that association with Billaba is cursed. Caleb survives Order 66 and becomes a powerful Jedi Knight, all thanks to the teachings and Heroic Sacrifice of Master Billaba, while Sammo and Tai face an Uncertain Doom.
Establishing Character Moment: When he first appears, he attacks Caleb during sparring without warning, claiming that it's allowed since the Separatists won't wait either. Caleb proceeds to get a cut hand, and neither Sammo or Tai show concern for him even before Yoda says it's just minor.
Hero-Worshipper: While Tai mocks Caleb for thinking he could be Depa Billaba's Padawan, Sammo ignores the conversation and is instead glancing at a passing-by Anakin and R2.
Jerkass: As mentioned above, he attacks Caleb without warning, dismisses Caleb as being a kid (despite being only months older than him), and he also gets in on the rumor that being associated with Master Billaba is unlucky, rather than supporting Caleb for having a Jedi Master ask if he'd like to become her Padawan (which also implies he and Tai are jealous that Caleb has been promoted sooner than them, though Sammo seems more fearful for his friend while Tai is definitely jealous).
Jerkass Has a Point: Okay, yeah, the Separatists won't wait for you to recover... but on the other hand, does he really need to be that rough-and-tumble during training? This is amusingly the same argument Caleb, as Kanan, will use when training his own Padawan Ezra on a lightsaber with distractions.
Karma Houdini: Yoda doesn't scold him off for suddenly attacking Caleb and getting him sent to the medbay. And for the rest of the comic, he never gets any sort of punishment for his jerkass tendencies towards Caleb (though admittedly, that part is more of a private matter that Caleb could solve himself by simply not interacting with them anymore).
Laser Blade: He wields a yellow lightsaber.
Meaningful Name:
- He shares his first name with Sammo Hung, an influential figure in martial arts films & Hong Kong action cinema.
- Also, if you take the first letter of his first name and put it at the beginning of his last name, then you have "Squid Ammo". Whatever "ammo" is supposed to mean is up in the air, but "squid" may be in reference to the head-tail/tentacle-like appendages of Twi'leks.
Pet the Dog: The only decent thing he does in the Kanan comic is comfort younglings when the Jedi Temple gets bombed by Separatists.
Those Two Guys: With Tai.
What Happened to the Mouse?: As Caleb becomes a Padawan and serves in the Clone Wars, whatever happened to him & Tai afterwards is unknown.
With Friends Like These...: Despite Caleb's thoughts describing them as his friends, neither Tai or Sammo have shown any real support for Caleb and instead often barb him, dismissing him as a Just a Kid.

Tai Uzuma

Appearances: Kanan

A female Initiate that was classmates with Caleb Dume and Sammo Quid.

Ambiguously Human: It's never made outright clear if she's human or not. Her hair decorations & facial markings may either be a part of her culture or she's from another species.
Dramatic Irony: She and Sammo don't believe that Caleb will last long under Master Depa Billaba, under the belief that he's not skilled enough and that association with Billaba is cursed. Caleb survives Order 66 and becomes a powerful Jedi, all thanks to the teachings & Heroic Sacrifice of Master Billaba, while Sammo and Tai face an Uncertain Doom.
Jerkass: She dismisses Caleb as being a kid (despite being only months older than him), and she also gets in on the rumor that being associated with Master Billaba is unlucky, rather than supporting Caleb for finally getting a Jedi Master (which also implies she and Sammo are jealous that Caleb has been promoted sooner than them).
Karma Houdini: In the comic, she never gets any sort of punishment for her jerkass tendencies towards Caleb (though admittedly, that part is more of a private matter that Caleb could solve himself by simply not interacting with them anymore).
Laser Blade: She wields a green-bladed lightsaber.
Those Two Guys: With Sammo.
What Happened to the Mouse?: As Caleb becomes a Padawan and serves in the Clone Wars, whatever happened to her & Sammo afterwards is unknown.
With Friends Like These...: Despite Caleb's thoughts describing them as his friends, neither Tai or Sammo have shown any real support for Caleb and instead often barb him, dismissing him as a Just a Kid.

Kalifa

Species: Human

Homeworld: Corellia

Voiced by: Gwendoline Yeo

Appearances: The Clone Wars

"We are not saviors here. Here, we are survivors."

Kalifa was the eldest of three Jedi Younglings who had been kidnapped by Trandoshan sport hunters sometime preceding or during the Clone Wars. By the time the similarly captured Ahsoka arrived at the island they were held on, the three of them were losing hope, as their strength was enough only to hide and try to avoid being shot down for as long as possible.

Action Girl: Forced to be one, given that she and the other younglings are fighting for their lives.
Almighty Janitor: Kalifa, technically a youngling, was able to lift and strangle a Trandoshan using the Force. It could be handwaved with the extremely hard fight to survive on the Trandoshan hunting island, which required her to develop faster than usual.
Ambiguously Brown: Her voice actress is Chinese and Kalifa doesn't look too much like other Caucasian characters in The Clone Wars. Although, it's kind of hard to tell with that hair.
Death of a Child: Despite being the eldest of the three Younglings kidnapped by the Trandoshans, she’s still exactly that, a Youngling. She is killed by Garnac shooting her in the back.
In the Back: Garnac shot Kalifa in the back after his son died trying to kill her and Ahsoka.
I Will Only Slow You Down: Kalifa, knowing that she's dying, asks Ahsoka to save herself because she wants Ahsoka to take care of the others.
Last Request: Kalifa asks Ahsoka to take care of Jinx and O-Mer before dying from the wound caused by Garnac's blaster rifle.
The Leader: Kalifa was a Type II, calm, level-headed leader. After Ahsoka arrived, she slowly took over the position.
Power Trio: With O-Mer and Jinx.
Sacrificial Lion: Kalifa's death served to show that not even children are safe on the Wasskah.
Shell-Shocked Veteran: Surviving on Wasskah clearly had an effect on all of them, but Kalifa shows it the worst. She loses her temper with Ahsoka when recalling the previous Padawans who had been killed and hatefully attacks a Trandoshan hunter.
Token Human: Out of the remaining younglings on Wasskah, Kalifa is the only human.
Troubling Unchildlike Behavior: Kalifa Force chokes a Trandoshan with an expression of intense hatred on her face.
The World's Expert (on Getting Killed): Kalifa has been held on the hunting island for the longest time, and has outlived Padawan learners, despite only being a youngling herself. She also told the older and better-trained Ahsoka to her face that she had experience in surviving the hunt. Naturally, she's killed soon after Ahsoka's arrival. Subverted, however, in that she was an expert in avoiding the Trandoshans as much as possible, and she died when they were ambushed while scouting after the Trandoshans' base.

Jinx

Species: Twi'lek

Homeworld: Ryloth

Voiced by: Sunil Malhotra

Appearances: The Clone Wars

Jinx was a Twi'lek Jedi youngling who served in the Jedi Order during the Clone Wars. He was captured by the Trandoshans alongside Kalifa and O-Mer.

Alien Hair: Like all Twi'leks, he has lekku instead of hair.
Almighty Janitor: Jinx can do a Jedi Mind Trick, despite being a youngling who had been kidnapped before he was even made a Padawan (granted, it took some help from Chewbacca to work). Could be handwaved with the extremely hard fight to survive on the Trandoshan hunting island, which required him and the others to develop faster than usual. He might also just have a natural talent for them.
Ambiguously Brown: The Does This Remind You of Anything? situation of the Twi'lek people along with his actor being of South Asian & Indian descent points to him not being Caucasian-based.
Deadpan Snarker: Jinx can be very sarcastic at times:
Ahsoka: Chewbacca says his homeworld is very close.
Jinx: That's great, but it might as well be Coruscant as far as I'm concerned. We have no ship.
Ahsoka: [translating Chewie's angry growling] He thinks he can contact his home planet, if we find a way to transmit a signal.
Jinx: Right, and how would we do that? Send smoke signals?
The Lancer: He was acting as this to both Kalifa and Ahsoka.
Power Trio: With Kalifa and O-Mer.
Rubber-Forehead Aliens: Jinx is a Twi'lek.
What Happened to the Mouse?: As a youngling but old enough to begin Padawan training, either he was kept at the Temple to catch him up to speed or he began Padawan training. Either way, it edges into Uncertain Doom regarding the execution of Order 66.

O-Mer

Species: Cerean

Homeworld: Cerea

Voiced by: Cam Clarke

Appearances: The Clone Wars

O-Mer was a Cerean Jedi youngling. Along with fellow younglings Kalifa and Jinx, he was captured on a training mission by Trandoshan hunters. The trio were deposited on the Trandoshan moon of Wasskah, where they were hunted for sport. He would escape the hunters' moon with the help of Padawan Ahsoka Tano.

Power Trio: With Kalifa and Jinx.
Rubber-Forehead Aliens: O-Mer is a Cerean, and has the requisite large head.
Use Your Head: In a Combination Attack with Jinx, O-Mer headbutted one of the Trandoshans.
What Happened to the Mouse?: As a youngling but old enough to begin Padawan training, either he was kept at the temple to catch him up to speed or he began Padawan training. Either way, it edges into Uncertain Doom regarding the execution of Order 66.

The Gathering Younglings

The Gathering Younglings (Byph, Ganodi, Gungi, Katooni, Petro, and Zatt)

This group of younglings participated the Gathering, a Rite of Passage, during which they harvested their own Kyber crystals. During the rite, they had to face and overcome their shortcomings and weaknesses. Afterwards, they learned how to built their first lightsabers from Professor Huyang. Their training in the Jedi Temple was apparently overseen by Tera Sinube.

In General:

An Aesop: All the kids have to learn one to get their lightsaber crystals.
Badass Adorable: They are very adorable Jedi younglings.
The Cameo: They're seen at lightsaber practice with Tera Sinube in "The Wrong Jedi" during Anakin's duel with Barriss.
Chekhov's Classroom: The younglings are shown practicing acrobatic moves in a flashback at the beginning of "The Gathering". In "Bound for Rescue", they use these moves to con their way into a traveling circus, allowing them to sneak into Hondo's base and rescue Ahsoka.
Children Are Innocent: Exceptionally so. They are so innocent, in fact, that the episodes they appear in are among the most lighthearted ones in the entirety of The Clone Wars.
Cool Mask: They all get one as part of their circus disguises in "Bound for Rescue".
Cool Sword: All of them, obviously, but Gungi stands out by making a lightsaber with a wooden casing whereas the rest of the Younglings make regular ones.
Laser Blade: Their quest to build theirs forms the impetus of the plot for the Young Jedi arc.
Pint-Sized Powerhouse: What they've all become as of "A Necessary Bond". Ganodi in particular was able to hold Byph, Gungi, Zatt, and Katooni for several minutes while they were hanging from the boarding ramp of a sweeping starship, despite being the smallest and most frail of the younglings.
Run or Die: When cornered by Grievous, Ahsoka and the younglings prepare to fight, but at the last second Hondo and Katooni arrive with the Slave I to extract them. Ahsoka instructs the younglings to run while she holds off Grievous. Once the younglings are safe, Ahsoka too abandons the fight, knowing that she has no chance of winning.
Uncertain Doom: There were rumors about a potential series about the Padawans grown up and surviving on the Outer Rim in the Imperial Era, but that never materialized, leaving their fate in limbo. Considering they're younglings that are usually in the Jedi Temple unless they go off on the occasional field trip, they may have been at the Jedi Temple during the Jedi Purge. More fuel was added to the fire when the Databank revealed that there was a vehicle on Batuu called the Katooni and that it was owned by Hondo (which implies that Hondo named it after Katooni in memoriam). Gungi is shown to still be alive in the second season of The Bad Batch, but the others are still unaccounted for.

Byph

Species: Ithorian

Homeworld: Ithor

Voiced by: Dee Bradley Baker

Appearances: The Clone Wars

A timid and somewhat fearful Jedi youngling.

Bilingual Dialogue: Byph is physiologically incapable of speaking Galactic Basic, but he's perfectly capable of understanding it and speaks Ithorian, which the others are capable of understanding.
Cowardly Lion: He is this in "The Gathering". He's completely grown out of it as of "Bound for Rescue".
Face Your Fears: He had to do this to get his crystal, being afraid of being alone and the darkness of the caves. His fears project monsters including a large spide creature that has his crystal in its maw, and reaching out to claim the crystal despite his fears dispells the illusion.
The So-Called Coward: Byph has to overcome his timid personality in "The Gathering". In "A Test of Strength", he willingly risks being shot by acting as bait to lure the bad guys into a trap.
Too Many Mouths: As an Ithorian, Byph has two of them. Downplayed in that it isn't played for horror and the mouths are on the sides of his head, making him look more like he has an Animesque Cheeky Mouth.
The Unintelligible: Without a translator device, Byph's speech is not understood by the audience but is to the other characters.

Ganodi

Species: Rodian

Homeworld: Rodia

Voiced by: Georgina Cordova

Appearances: The Clone Wars

A youngling with confidence issues.

Humanoid Aliens: She the basic body structure of a human, but as a Rodian, they are significantly different from Rubber-Forehead Aliens, Human Aliens, and humans.
Just a Machine: Her initial thoughts on Huyang, being disdainful of how a droid was supposed to teach them to construct a lightsaber.
Needle in a Stack of Needles: Ganodi winds up in a cave full of crystals and has to trust the Force to find the right one.
Out of Focus: Ganodi got the least screentime and character development of the six younglings, not even joining the rescue party (which is justified in-story by her being the only one with pilot training, so logically she should stay with the ship).

Gungi

Species: Wookiee

Species: Kashyyyk

Appearances: The Clone Wars | The Bad Batch

A lively youngling who has issues with patience. Following the rise of the Empire, Gungi managed to escape Order 66 and was eventually able to return to Kashyyyk with the aid of Clone Force 99.

Badass Adorable: When he turns up in The Bad Batch, he quickly provides a salutary reminder of what even a young Jedi Padawan (at most) is capable of.
Badass in Distress: Some time after Order 66 he ended up as a captive of the Vanguard Axis, a droid gang that intended to sell him. Thanks to Omega and the Bad Batch, he was able to break free.
Break the Cutie: When introduced in The Clone Wars, Gungi is a cheerful and happy young initiate. By his appearance in The Bad Batch he is sullen, quiet, and understandably mistrustful of clones, having been traumatized by the fall of the Jedi and the Republic, his captivity by the Vanguard Axis, and then witnessing the exploitation of his homeworld by the Empire. However, he does warm up quite quickly to Omega, who rescued him, and soon realises that the Bad Batch are very different to other clones.
Bilingual Dialogue: He is physiologically incapable of speaking Galactic Basic, but he's perfectly capable of understanding it and speaks Shyriiwook, which the others are capable of understanding.
Cute Little Fangs: Gungi is a Rare Male Example.
Everyone Has Standards: Although he tricks Venomor into being captured by the kinrath, Gungi looks a little shocked and guilty when the kinrath drag him screaming to his Uncertain Doom.
Hot-Blooded: He has issues with patience and waiting, which is why his test to acquire his kyber crystal requires him to wait for the lake to freeze so he can safely cross and retrieve it. Gungi's issues with this are not helped after the rise of the Empire, as the stress of being on the run and alone, further compounded by seeing what the Empire is doing to his homeworld after already losing the Jedi Order, causes him to rush into violent confrontations several times.
Humanoid Aliens: He the basic body structure of a human, but as a Wookiee, they are significantly different from Rubber-Forehead Aliens, Human Aliens, and humans.
Noodle Incident: How he escaped Order 66 and ended up in as a captive of the Vanguard Axis is unknown.
The Unintelligible: His growls are unintelligible to the audience, but not the other characters.

Katooni

Species: Tholothian

Homeworld: Tholoth

Voiced by: Olivia Hack

Appearances: The Clone Wars

A cautious youngling with some doubt in her abilities.

Conscience Makes You Go Back: Katooni pulls one on Hondo in "A Necessary Bond", convincing him to go back and rescue Ahsoka and the other younglings from Grievous. He does, even though he has nothing to gain from it.
Determinator: She scaled a cliff face to get to her lightsaber crystal.
Morality Pet: Katooni serves the role as one for Hondo.
Odd Friendship: As of the end of "A Necessary Bond", there are hints that Katooni is beginning to form one with Hondo. It could also count as an Intergenerational Friendship.
Only Sane Girl: Katooni is usually the voice of reason.
Rubber-Forehead Aliens: She is a Tholothian like Adi Galla and Stass Allie.

Petro

Species: Human

Homeworld: Corellia

Voiced by: Jeff Fischer

Appearances: The Clone Wars

A somewhat arrogant youngling.

Conscience Makes You Go Back: His decision to come to Katooni's rescue rather than continue trying to find his own crystal. As his selfishness is the flaw the cave's test requires him to overcome, doing this is the only way he even finds his crystal.
Generation Xerox: Petro seems very similar to Anakin in a few ways.
Hero-Worshipper: Petro has a few moments of this:
- While building his lightsaber, he exclaims that he'll challenge Obi-Wan to a duel with it. Later, when Obi-Wan answers their distress call, he went "The General Kenobi?"
- After watching Ahsoka taking on Hondo and his pirates, he exclaims to Zatt and Ganodi, who weren't present, that they should have seen her while wildly imitating lightsaber swinging. Later, when the younglings watch Ahsoka dueling Grievous, he clenches his fists and takes a typical jittering pose.
I Surrender, Suckers: He lets the pirates take his lightsaber away from him. This is because he assembled it incorrectly and it will explode if activated for more than a second, which he goads the pirates into doing.
Indy Ploy: Spends most of "Bound for Rescue" doing line-of-sight planning, which works out rather well.
Jerk with a Heart of Gold: While he can be arrogant and somewhat mean, Petro is a true friend to the other younglings.
Leeroy Jenkins: His arrogance causes him to act without thinking several times.
Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Talked his friends into launching a counterattack, despite Ahsoka directly forbidding it, which ultimately achieved nothing, except necessitating Ahsoka to put herself in risk, which resulted in her capture.
Small Name, Big Ego: He thinks he can beat Obi-Wan and kill Grievous upon building his lightsaber. Yeah, sure thing, kiddo.
Token Human: Petro is the only human among the Gathering Younglings.

Zatt

Species: Nautolan

Homeworld: Glee Anselm

Voiced by: Greg Cipes

Appearances: The Clone Wars

"Come on, Zatt. You're going to have to trust yourself instead of relying on technology."

A technologically minded youngling.

Fish People: Zatt, who is a Nautolan like Kit Fisto.
Nerdy Nasalness: He is the most tech-y of the Younglings, has this. It gets much worse during his time in the freezing Jedi temple, but his nasalness resets to a more normal state by the next episode, where it stays for the rest of the arc.
Rubber-Forehead Aliens: Zatt is a Nautolan like Kit Fisto.

Support Staff

R4-P17

Model: R4-P

Appearances: Attack of the Clones | The Clone Wars | Revenge of the Sith

R4-P17, nicknamed Arfour, was an astromech droid, programmed with a female personality, that was assigned to Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi prior to and throughout the Clone Wars. She was destroyed by a buzz droid during the Battle of Coruscant.

Non-Human Sidekick: To Obi-Wan, particularly during the events of Attack of the Clones while assisting him in investigating Kamino and tracking Jango Fett.
Off with His Head!: She is broken after a buzz droid ripped off her head during the Battle of Coruscant.
Satellite Character: To Obi-Wan, never receiving as much focus or attention as R2-D2.
Schrödinger's Canon: She was originally an R4-series astromech that had the standard conical head instead of the R2-type dome and had an accident. She was then rebuilt and hard-wired into Obi-Wan's Jedi starfighter and given an R2 dome for practical purposes. When the Jedi Order was transitioning away from the Delta-7 model of starfighters, R4 was given a new body.
Shock and Awe: Like R2, she does have self-defence shockers to ward off attackers. She uses them against some Jawas on Tatooine, though she evidently Forgot About Her Powers by the time of the buzz droid incident.
What Measure Is a Non-Human?: Obi-Wan does not react much to her destruction in Revenge of the Sith despite her having served him for years (The closest we get is him saying "Oh Dear"). By the time of his next mission, he's already got a replacement, R4-G9. It ties into Obi-Wan's slight Fantastic Racism towards droids and his general Jedi detachment.

R4-G9

Model: Astromech droid

Appearances: Revenge of the Sith

R4-G9 was Obi-Wan's replacement astromech droid following R4-P17's destruction in the Battle of Coruscant. She accompanied him to Utapau during the hunt for General Grievous.

Replacement Goldfish: She briefly replaces R4-P17 as Obi-Wan's astromech companion for one mission in Revenge of the Sith, then never appears again.
Satellite Character: Like her predecessor, she doesn't get much focus and only serves as R4-P17's replacement.
Schrödinger's Canon: In Legends, she was originally assigned to Aayla Secura, and then given to Obi-Wan as a temporary replacement for R4-P17 while she was being built a new body after the original Delta-7 starfighters (which had their astromechs hard-wired into the ship) were phased out.
Uncertain Doom: She was last seen dropping Obi-Wan off on Utapau and being sent back to the Vigilance alone as part of a diversion. This was only hours before Order 66 was executed and Obi-Wan spends the rest of the movie without her anywhere by his side.

R7-A7

Model: Astromech droid

Appearances: The Clone Wars | The Bad Batch

R7-A7 was Ahsoka's astromech droid during the Clone Wars, serving her from the Battle of Ryloth all through the end of the war, where he was killed by clone troopers during the execution of Order 66.

Ascended Extra: During the first five seasons of The Clone Wars, R7 didn't have any significant role to play except to be Ahsoka's astromech co-pilot, and even then, those appearances were very sparse. He finally gets a major role to play in the final two episodes by helping Ahsoka and Rex escape Order 66.
Due to the Dead: Following the battle that gets him killed, Ahsoka recovers his parts and rearranges them in a manner that makes his form clearly visible, as a memorial of sorts.
Heroic Sacrifice: He throws himself into the line of fire to save Ahsoka from a brainwashed clone trooper's gun.
Satellite Character: His main characterization is to act as Ahsoka's R2 stand-in and perform many of the same actions, seeing as the other, more famous droid is often off on his own adventures.
Shock and Awe: Victimizes a brainwashed Rex with this, so he can cart him off to the medical bay to deal with the control chip in his head.
Undying Loyalty: His loyalties lie with Ahsoka, not the Republic. As such, when Order 66 comes down and Ahsoka sneaks into the droid storage bay in hopes of recruiting him, he (and a couple of other droids) immediately join her.
We Can Rebuild Him: He was rebuilt not long after the Clone Wars, then working alongside the Martez sisters.

Huyang

Professor Huyang

"Do you know how to awaken the Force within the crystal? No? Then I suggest you listen and learn, until you think of a question this droid cannot answer."

^{Click here to see him in The Clone Wars:}

Model: Mark IV Architect Droid

Voiced by: David Tennant

Appearances: Age of Republic^note | The Clone Wars | Ahsoka

"You must trust that the components that form your lightsaber are meant to be together; there is no other way. It is the Force that binds them."

Huyang was a Mark IV architect droid professor based aboard the Jedi vessel, the Crucible, who for a thousand generations had taught Jedi younglings, one of them being the future Grand Master Yoda, how to build their lightsaber following the Gathering. Many years later, after the Great Jedi Purge and the fall of the Empire, he now travels with Ahsoka Tano.

Aerith and Bob: His name is unusual for most droids.
An Arm and a Leg: Has both primary arms shot off by one of Hondo's pirates, but it's more of an inconvenience than anything. He gets them reattached at the end of "A Necessary Bond".
Ascended Extra: Huyang first appeared in only a couple of episodes of The Clone Wars, and only in a relatively minor arc regarding the training of several Jedi Younglings. Fast-forward to Ahsoka, and he's now a part of the main cast, working extensively to help the titular character locate Thrawn.
Badass Boast:
- He gives one to Ganodi when she questions the ability of a droid to teach them about lightsaber construction.
  Huyang: Many years I have been on this ship teaching many a Jedi before you, and I will continue teaching many a Jedi after you. Call me what you want, but inside my memory banks I contain a record of every lightsaber ever made, and the Jedi who fashioned it.
- And another, when one of Hondo's pirates shot off his head:
  Huyang: How dare you?! I've lived a thousand years on this ship and never lost a fight. I'm not about to start today!
Badass Bookworm: Has an extensive knowledge of lightsabers and how they are built. In Ahsoka, with only corrupted security footage to work with, he can still easily identify Baylan Skoll's lightsaber in his databanks.
Badass Teacher: Not only does he teach younglings about building their lightsabers, he also defends them from pirates.
Brutal Honesty: Though he's trying to encourage Sabine to resume her apprenticeship under Ahsoka's tutelage, Huyang pulls no punches when analyzing her skillset, noting that she falls below every other Padawan he's met/taught in all the years he's lived. Ahsoka disapproves of this, as she's aware that only serves to further cripple Sabine's self-esteem, which was already quite low to begin with.
The Bus Came Back: After essentially disappearing after assisting the Younglings with their training in The Clone Wars, Huyang is revealed to have survived the Great Jedi Purge in Ahsoka, where he makes his first live action appearance.
Dare to Be Badass: He implores Sabine to let go of the past she has with Ahsoka and begin her training anew, noting that while she may be comparatively talentless in the Force, wasting time fretting over it simply stimies the other skill she could be developing as an apprentice.
Deadpan Snarker: One would imagine it comes from having to deal with Jedi children for twenty five thousand years.
Expy: What if Ollivander was C-3PO?
Gentleman Snarker: Huyang has the demeanor of a gentlemanly English professor, but he isn't averse to a bit of snarking at his students.
Lampshade Hanging: When meeting Gungi, he points out that Force-sensitive Wookiees are exceptionally rare.
Lawful Stupid: Mildly, but he insists on following the protocols of the Jedi Order to the letter even when that Order is more-or-less extinct, much to Ahsoka's exasperation when it makes her sudden need to outrun an almighty explosion harder than it has to be. Though as he points out, it's part of his programming.
Losing Your Head: Has his head blown off by space pirates. He finds this highly annoying.
Meaningful Name: Maybe. In Cebuano, "huyang" means "weak" or "vulnerable", especially regarding body parts, befitting how he is mostly a Non-Action Guy (or may be an Ironic Name, given that getting his limbs blasted off doesn't stop him from fighting Hondo's pirates and the HK droids in Ahsoka.
Multi-Armed and Dangerous: Those extra arms aren't just for his lightsaber classes, as some HK-droids find out when he lays the smackdown on them in Ahsoka.
Multi-Armed Multitasking: His backpack unfolds into an extra pair of arms, which he uses in his work.
Offscreen Moment of Awesome: He survived the Purge of the Jedi offscreen and the entire reign of the Empire before meeting up with his old ally Ahsoka and joining her on her quest.
Off with His Head!: His head gets separated from his body, but remains operational. He can even control his body remotely. His head is re-attached in "A Necessary Bond".
Pet the Dog: His Brutal Honesty cuts both ways. While he is bluntly harsh about a student's failings, it also means he's equally unreserved about praising their successes as well.
The Professor: But of course.
Quintessential British Gentleman: A mechanical version of the trope: He has a High-Class Glass, speaks in a British accent, is polite and soft-spoken to all, and has a metallic mustache on his face.
Ragnarök Proofing: Implied by the fact that he's canonically been around for twenty five thousand years, and he's still three-quarters original parts. He also survived the Purge, the Empire, and the start of the New Republic, and everything in between.
Ridiculously Human Robot: Judging by the boast mentioned above, he's rather proud of himself, and doesn't take perceived insults to his task well.
Seen It All: At his age, you'd better believe he's seen or heard pretty much all there is. Riding inside a space-whale's mouth to another galaxy is still new on him, though.
Huyang: Now I really have seen everything.
The Storyteller: He's got a great deal of stories in his head, including the complete history of the Galaxy (in three parts). In times past he used to regale padawans with them.
Strange-Syntax Speaker: At times, he uses the same backwards syntax as Master Yoda, likely as a way to illustrate how old he is.
Time Abyss: He claims to have taught many generations of Jedi Younglings how to build their lightsabers. He mentions that even Yoda was one of them. The canonical reference book Star Wars: Timelines places the date of his creation at over 25,000 years before the Clone Wars, and even after the time of the Empire, says he still has 75% of his original parts.
Uncertain Doom: Considering that the Jedi and anyone associated with them were hunted and killed by the Empire after Palpatine executed Order 66, things aren't looking so good for Huyang unless he somehow managed to go into hiding or found another method of avoiding persecution. He later shows up in Ahsoka, revealing that he survived the Purge somehow.
Vocal Evolution: Huyang's voice in Ahsoka has a slight Electronic Speech Impediment that causes him to speak with two voices at once on occasion. It's likely due to age, considering he is canonically over twenty five thousand years old, and according to him, "75% original parts".
Who Needs Their Whole Body?: He has his head and arms blown off, but his body still manages to kick the ass of some of Hondo's pirates.
You Are Better Than You Think You Are: Gives Sabine some much-needed advice about her lack of faith in herself to finally push her to rejoin Ahsoka's side to help find Ezra.

M5-BZ

M5-BZ (Beezee)

Model: R4-series astromech droid

Appearances: The Clone Wars

M5-BZ was the personal droid of Jedi Master Tera Sinube. Beezee was assigned to D-Squad during the Clone Wars.

Heroic Sacrifice: He opens a airlock on the Renown while it is in hyperspace to suck a group of buzz droids out of the ship to save the rest of D-Squad, but gets sucked out into space with them. The remaining members of the squad realize that they need to pull themselves together so that they can save the Republic conference that the Separatists want to ambush and so that Beezee's sacrifice won't be in vain.
Mind Rape: It is glossed over, but M5-BZ essentially undergoes a lobotomy when Dr. Gubacher removes several of his memory data cores to make room for Colonel Gascon to ride in his dome. Gubacher even notes before the procedure that it is a good thing Beezee will have no memory of the experience, implying that is a pretty horrendous process for a droid to experience.
What Measure Is a Non-Human?: The Jedi do not raise any protest over Beezee's memory being erased, while they would have outraged had the same thing been done to a flesh-and-blood sentient being.

QT-KT

QT-KT (Qutee)

Model: R2-series astromech droid

Appearances: The Clone Wars | Dark Droids

QT-KT was the personal droid of Jedi Master Aayla Secura. Qutee was also assigned to D-Squad during the Clone Wars.

The Bus Came Back: After a decade-long lack of appearances since her debut in the D-Squad arc, QT reappears in the Dark Droids comic-crossover - having survived Aayla's death and Order 66 by hiding out with a friend of Aayla's on Ryloth - as part of a new D-Squad formed by R2-D2 to combat the Droid Scourge.
Distaff Counterpart: To R2-D2, being the same model as him and a similar personality, except with feminine programing.
Magnetism Manipulation: Doctor Gubacher upgrades her with a very powerful magnet that pops out of her dome for D-Squad's mission.
Pink Means Feminine: She has a feminine personality program, so naturally she's painted pink.
- Interestingly enough R4, who is of the same make as QT and R2, is also programmed as a female but red instead of pink.
Punny Name: "Cutie Katie", anyone?
Shock and Awe: Like R2-D2, she can shoot jolts of electricity out that can disable battle droids.
Suspiciously Similar Substitute: Of Promoted Fan-built Droid R2-KT, who had already appeared in "Storm Over Ryloth", as the showrunners wanted to avoid the confusion of two units called R2.

U9-C4

U9-C4 (Ceefor)

Model: R5-series astromech droid

Appearances: The Clone Wars

U9-C4 was the personal droid of Jedi Knight Thongla Jur. Ceefor was assigned to D-Squad during the Clone Wars.

The Generic Guy: Ceefor does not have any large role in the plot or outstanding traits.
Laser Cutter: Dr. Gubacher upgrades him with a very powerful laser cutter, although he has to be standing still and be secured while using it, otherwise the recoil will knock him over.
Meaningful Name: C4, like the explosive. It's a Non-Indicative Name, though, since he shows no talent for bombs.

Russo-ISC

Model: Crime scene analyzer droid

Voiced by: Dee Bradley Baker

Appearances: The Clone Wars

"I am Russo-ISC, crime scene analyzer for the Jedi."

Russo-ISC was a droid in the Galactic Republic that worked for the Jedi Order as a crime scene analyzer. He participated in the investigation of the bombing of the Jedi Temple hangar.

Glasses Pull: Has a tendency to do this with his retractable visor.
Shout-Out: To the main character of CSI: Miami, Lieutenant Horatio Caine. "Russo" is derived from Horatio, while "ISC" is CSI backwards.

Arex

Model: Jedi training droid

Appearances: Dark Lord of the Sith | Darth Vader (2020)

"I have spent time with many Jedi here, over the years, and I would like to believe I have absorbed some small piece of their wisdom."

A Jedi training droid stationed at the Jedi outpost on the river moon of Al'doleem. By the time of Order 66, the only Jedi left to accompany on the outpost was Jedi Master Kirak Infil'a, who had taken the Barash vow.

Curb-Stomp Battle: Like the other defenses of the outpost, he was swiftly taken out by Vader, his parts being thrown into the river below.
Not Quite Dead: He actually survives being crushed by Vader and eventually rebuilt himself, and over two decades later joins a faction of other droids who have fought and been dismantled by Vader in a bid to exchange stories and find a way to kill the Sith Lord.
Time Abyss: It's likely he wasn't created recently.

Cator

Appearances: Dark Lord of the Sith

A droid assigned to defend a hidden vault filled with the Jedi Order's most important artifacts.

Heroic Neutral: He is programmed only to protect the vault, meaning that he remained hidden inside even while the 501^st attacked the Jedi Temple.
Innocently Insensitive: Even though Vader's in his suit, the Vault Guardian's scanners register him as Anakin Skywalker. The Guardian addreses Anakin by that name, not knowing what a Berserk Button it is.
Super-Reflexes: He's able to catch a lightsaber thrown by Darth Vader.

Luke Skywalker's Jedi

Voe

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/voe_sw_6.png

Species: Human

Appearances: The Rise of Kylo Ren

One of Luke Skywalker's Jedi students. She is devoted to her master and quick to turn on Ben Solo when she learns he allegedly killed him.

Action Girl: She's a Jedi-in-training armed with a lightsaber and notably the only woman amongst the three surviving apprentices.
Always Someone Better: She felt this way about Ben Solo; no matter how hard she tried, she could never seem to match or outdo him in anything related to the Force or the Jedi. Luke tried to explain that Ben wasn't necessarily stronger than she, he just had an easier time connecting to the Force, but she couldn't ever accept this.
The Apprentice: She is a Padawan of Luke Skywalker.
Braids of Action: She wears three braids in her hair.
Doomed by Canon: The Sequel Trilogy establishes that all of Luke's apprentices were killed or fell to the Dark Side, and he's the last of the Jedi once again by The Force Awakens.
Fatal Flaw: Her jealousy and feelings of inadequacy. She was constantly comparing herself to Ben and trying to outdo him, which hampered her from reaching her true potential, and caused feelings of shame and anger, none of which are very Jedi-like traits.
Ben Solo: She tried to beat me. She couldn't. That was her whole problem. She just couldn't be herself. She wanted to be me. Or better than me.
Hot-Blooded: She has a lot of anger, mostly stemming from feelings of inferiority, and tends to attack first and ask questions later. This ends up being very detrimental to herself and the surviving apprentices.
Impaled with Extreme Prejudice: Kylo Ren stabs her through the chest with a lightsaber.
In a Single Bound: She's able to use the Force to leap up to a cliff.
Oh, Crap!: Near the end of The Rise of Kylo Ren, when she realizes Ben really does mean to kill her now, she starts to panic.
One-Steve Limit: Averted; she shares her first name with Separatist senator Voe Atell.
The Rival: She views herself as one to Ben, ever since they were children.
Sacrificial Lamb: She is killed by Ben in his first unambiguously evil act, cementing his fall to the Dark Side.
Undying Loyalty: To Luke. She cannot accept that he would ever try to harm any of them and is determined to hunt down Ben to get justice for her supposedly fallen master.
Unwitting Instigator of Doom: Voe's impulsive and aggressive reaction to the Temple's destruction just drives Ben further away or makes him lash out in self-defense, as she refuses to listen to him or delve further into what actually happened. Ultimately, this contributes to Ben cementing his Face–Heel Turn, and the demise of Voe and her fellow apprentices.

Tai

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tai_sw.png

Species: Human

Appearances: The Rise of Kylo Ren

A Jedi apprentice of Luke Skywalker, who survives the destruction of the Jedi Temple and sets out to find Ben Solo in the hopes of helping him.

The Apprentice: He's one of thirteen Padawans at Luke's Temple.
The Confidant: He apparently served as this for Ben, as he knows more than most of the apprentices about the various issues in Ben's personal life, suggesting he confided in Tai.
Doomed by Canon: The Sequel Trilogy establishes that all of Luke's apprentices were killed or fell to the Dark Side, and he's the last of the Jedi once again by The Force Awakens.
The Heart: He is very compassionate and genuinely cares about others; he's the most gentle of the three apprentices and comes the closest to bringing Ben away from the Dark Side.
Morality Chain: To Ben Solo. Even after running off to join the Knights of Ren, Ben can't bring himself to kill Tai and is genuinely affected by Tai's assertions it's not too late for him. Then Ren kills him, at which point Ben completely loses it.
Neck Snap: Ren kills him this way using the Force, even though Ben had spared him.
Nice Guy: He's generally a compassionate and open-minded person. He also genuinely cares about Ben, attempting to reason with him rather than go on the offensive and is the only one of the three surviving apprentices who wants to pursue Ben to help him rather than 'bring him to justice'.
Only Friend: He was the closest thing Ben Solo had to a friend at the Jedi Temple, as he felt alienated from most of the other Padawans.
You Are Better Than You Think You Are: He spends most of The Rise of Kylo Ren trying to convince Ben of this. Needless to say, it doesn't work. He does actually seem to get through to Ben at one point, but then Ren kills him, prompting Ben to attack Ren in a rage and sending him fully over to the Dark Side.

Hennix

Species: Quarren

Appearances: The Rise of Kylo Ren

A Quarren apprentice of Luke Skywalker's, who was offworld during the destruction of the Temple.

Accidental Murder: Ben accidentally kills him when he uses the Force to deflect Hennix's thrown lightsaber, causing it swing back around and fatally strike him.
The Apprentice: He's one of Luke's Jedi students.
Cthulhumanoid: Well, he is a Quarren, after all.
Doomed by Canon: The Sequel Trilogy establishes that all of Luke's apprentices were killed or fell to the Dark Side, and he's the last of the Jedi once again by The Force Awakens.
Fish People: He's a Quarren, who are humanoid with squid-like heads.
Killing in Self-Defense: He's accidentally killed by Ben in self-defense.
Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: After he sees Ben throw Voe off a cliff, he assumes she's dead and attacks Ben in a rage. However, Ben actually tried to catch Voe with the Force, only to get distracted when Hennix attacks him. Ben accidentally drops Voe to defend himself, resulting in Hennix being inadvertently killed, while Voe would've died if Tai hadn't caught her.
The Smart One: How Ben describes him. He saw the Force as a "puzzle to be solved", taking an analytical approach to most situations.
Throwing Your Sword Always Works: Subverted. He throws his lightsaber at Ben after believing he'd killed Voe, but Ben instinctively uses the Force to deflect it, causing it to come spinning back towards Hennix. It doesn't end well.
Token Non-Human: He's the only one of the three initial Jedi survivors who isn't human.

Rey

See her separate page.

Historical Jedi

"Prime Jedi"

Species: Unknown

Homeworld: Unknown, likely Jeddha, Tython or Ahch-To

Appearances: The Last Jedi ^note

The very first member of the Jedi Order.

All There in the Manual: The identity of the being in the mosaic in Ahch-To is never mentioned in the film proper. All information about him comes from supplementary materials.
Ambiguous Situation: Everything involving them, since they are an Unknown Character. It's quite possible that they didn't even exist at all, and is merely a stylistic representation of any generic Jedi.
Composite Character: His role as the founder of the Jedi Order was in Legends held by four individuals: Cala Brin, Garon Jard, Ters Sendon and Rajivari.
Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep": His name is unknown, being only referred to as the "Prime Jedi”''.
Founder of the Kingdom: As the first Jedi he is likely to be the founder of the Jedi Order.
Our Founder: The only depiction of a sapient being in the First Jedi Temple at Ahch-To is a mosaic of him inside a pool of water in the main chamber.
Schrödinger's Canon: Whether they're one of the Legends founders (and, if so, if he was originally part of the Je'Daii). His depiction as a bald humanoid mostly resembles Rajivari.
- His depiction in the mosaic, balanced between the Light and Dark Sides of the Force, with two white and black orbs in the background, does seem to be a Shout-Out to the Je'daii philosophy of balance, and Tython's twin moons of Ashla and Bogan.

Tarre Vizsla

Tarre/Tar Vizsla

See his entry on the Mandalorians page under Historical Figures.

Rur

See his entry on the Other Force-users and Beings page.

Rur's unnamed opponent

Appearances: Doctor Aphra^note

"Your heresy is over."

The leader of an assault against Rur and his followers of the Ordu Aspectu in the Fortress of Garn. This attack ultimately failed, with her and the fate of other Jedi participating in the attack being unknown.

Ambiguous Situation: In Aphra Senior's version, the flashback shows the Ordu Aspectu fighting off red-bladed opponents who are said to be the main Jedi Order. In Aphra's cynical version, Rur was even more of a loco and Rur's unnamed opponent was clearly a good guy. We don't even know if she exists at all in the true story.
Blind Weaponmaster: In Aphra Senior's version, she has a visor over her eyes, rather reminiscent of the Miraluka species from Legends.
We Used to Be Friends: In Aphra's version, she was friends with Rur before he turned.
What the Hell, Hero?: She gives Rur this in both versions. Rur stubbornly believes that the Jedi are supposed to be looking for immortality. In Aphra Senior's version, she once again tells him that the Jedi do many other things alongside seeking immortality, and in Aphra's version, she asks how he can fall to such a low level, but apparently like the many other times he was told this, Rur refuses to listen.
