Summary
Set over 130 years before the Sith claimed revenge against the Jedi in a galaxy far, far away,The Acolyteprovides interesting insight into the final years of the High Republic, as new and unfamiliar threats emerge from the darkness. ConsideringThe Acolytetakes place beforeThe Phantom Menace, there are plenty of iconicStar Warscharacters thataudiences might be surprisedto learn were alive during this time.
Many Jedi were at the height of their power duringThe Acolyte, whereas some were merely students. With the knowledge of the existence of theseStar Warscharacters, fans might be able to see a few familiar faces during their watch ofThe Acolyteon Disney+.
7Ki-Adi-Mundi
A Jedi Master That Leads With Logic Over Assumption
Ki-Adi-Mundi makes a surprising appearance inThe Acolyte. This character is still a Jedi Master, whilst in the Legends timeline, the character had yet to be born. Nonetheless, Ki-Adi-Mundi’s appearance raises questions about his allegiance and shows a conspiracy tocover up Jedi murderswhich could have prevented the Sith from emerging.
Ki-Adi-Mundi was a beloved Jedi Master who was rarely seen with emotion and humor and enjoyed logic and reason. Part of this most likely comes from the fact he is a Cerean, a species that has a binary brain, permitting great strategy and thought.
6Oppo Rancisis
One of the Oldest Jedi Masters Who Leads With Silent Wisdom
A Jedi Master and member of the Jedi Council, Oppo Rancisis was one who many could respect due to his wisdom and devotion to the Jedi Order and the Force itself. Oppo Rancisis is a leading voice in the Jedi Council, and his place during the High Republic cannot be understated, as it showed great importance when establishing Jedi temples andhalting conflict.
Oppo Rancisis has an astounding knowledge and respect for the Force, and would much prefer to use it over a lightsaber. Yet, that doesn’t make Rancisis weak, and his highly contemplative nature and wisdom would make him a keen leader in and out of battle.
5Santari Khri
A Scientific Genius Jedi Who Aided the Discovery of Tanalorr
Santari Khri was an ambitious Jedi who spent her devotion to the Order creating meditation chambers and leading a science division for the Jedi and the Republic. Santari Khri was introduced in flashbacksthroughoutStar WarsJedi: Survivorand was a loyal friend to another Jedi, Dagan Gera. Santari Khri would be an interesting cameo forThe Acolyte, considering her place in theStar Warsuniverse.
Santari Khri’s research led her to a wonderful secret planet, Tanalorr. If audiences got to see Santari, they might see the grief and guilt within her over the fate of her friend Dagan Gera, and the loss of what could have been a new Jedi homeworld. Nevertheless, Santari is astute and respectable, and perfectly fitting for the Jedi Order.
4Plo Koon
A Compassionate Jedi Master and a Cunning Pilot
One of the most famous Jedi Masters, Plo Koon was around during the years of the High Republic. By the time of the High Republic’s last years, Plo Koonwould have been a Padawanor a Jedi Knight, training to become a Jedi Master who holds a strong place on the Jedi High Council. Plo Koon might be sympathetic to the murdering of Jedi, considering his calm and wise demeanor.
Plo Koon is a passionate Jedi and one who has a strong place in the lore thanks to his relationship with Ahsoka Tano, Anakin Skywalker’s Padawan. If Plo Koon was around duringThe Acolyte, then it’s likely he was off doing his own mission. After all, he’s a pretty great pilot.
3Master Yaddle
An Incredible Jedi Teacher Who Deserves Respect
The same species of Yoda and Grogu, Yaddle furthers the mysteries of this small green race. Yaddle was centuries old, and as such, it allowed her to navigate through training and wisdom tobecome a great Jedi Master, one who was in charge of tutoring Jedi Initiates during the time of the High Republic. Some members of the Jedi High Council even served as Yaddle’s students for a time.
Despite being somewhat quiet, Yaddle portrays great wisdom and kindness. It would be great to see Yaddle in live-action again, especially if there was a focus on Yaddle’s teaching of Jedi Initiates, as she often encouraged Padawans to follow the Force rather than optimism.
2Tera Sinube
A Jedi Marshal, Knowledgeable of the Criminal Underworld
One of theoldest members of the Jedi, Tera Sinube developed a strong friendship with a young learner, Ahsoka Tano. Tera Sinube has an interesting history as a Jedi, as he is extremely knowledgeable of the criminal underworld on Coruscant. Considering the famed Jedi Temple is on Coruscant, it’s a wonder how someone like Tera Sinube would no so much about its underworld.
Outside of being a brilliant investigator, Tera Sinube was a cunning warrior, whose age should never underestimate his skill. During the High Republic, Tera Sinube was involved in a Jedi outpost, where he acted as the marshal on Derra, which is perhaps why he hasn’t been seen inThe Acolyte.
1Yoda
Grandmaster of the Jedi for Centuries
It’s impossible to talk about the Jedi without bringing up Yoda, the Jedi Grandmaster of the Jedi who led through prosperity and saw it all fall before him. Yoda is everything a Jedi should be. He’s wise, strong in the Force, and compassionate.Yoda is living proof that size matters not, for he reached the greatest title a Jedi could in his 900 years of life.
Yoda served in the Jedi Order for centuries, being perhaps its wisest and oldest member. Throughout these centuries, Yoda would aid the Jedi in halting many conflicts that would pop up throughout the galaxy, and as such an important member of the High Republic, it adds to curiosity as to where Yoda could be duringThe Acolyte.
