So with Star Wars: Obi-Wan Kenobi Episode 3 releasing on Disney+, Obi-Wan was forced
to escape to a remote mining world with young Leia.
He was pretty much moments away from being caught at an imperial checkpoint, but thankfully
he was rescued by a secret Jedi sympathizer within the ranks of the Empire.
This Imperial officer named Tala brought Kenobi and Leia into her safehouse where she revealed
that Obi-Wan was not the first Jedi to stop by.
On the walls were the markings of many Jedi who have used the underground railroad to
Jabiim to survive the Great Purge, including someone HUGE…
But who were the other names on the wall?
Well, hit that subscribe button and lets break it down.
1.
So at number one we have Quinlan Vos.
Quinlan Vos was already confirmed to be a survivor of the Jedi purge in the Darth Vader
2017 comics, after Vader and the Grand Inquisitor compiled a list of top priority jedi targets.
On this list were many familliar faces like Oppo Rancisis, Yoda and Coleman Kcaj, but
one of those Names was Quinlan Vos.
In Legends, Vos had one of the most brutal and heart wrenching survival stories ever,
where he was left deep in the Jungles Of Kashyyyk during Order 66.
His Clone Commander Faie absolutely hated him throughout the whole war, even before
Order 66, so he didn’t even need to the inhibitor chip to want to kill Quinlan.
Commander Faie pretty much shot Vos point blank in the chest, but the Jedi Managed to
survive and return to his wife, and newly born child.
How his new story will go in still unknown, but I’m sure it’s going to be an incredibly
journey for him, and he might even have a role to play in the Bad Batch.
Cid says she has regular contact with a Jedi for missions and other little jobs, so that’s
probably also Quinlan Vos.
Maybe he was even the one who rescued Grogu. 2.
At Number two we have an extremely interesting reveal, and one that even ties back into Episode
2, Valin Halcyon.
Now Valin Halycon is a huge character from Star Wars: Legends who was the son of a Jedi
Master and himself was trained the Jedi ways…
Although it was never made public that his own father was his Jedi Master.
At the very young age of only 10 years old, Valin’s father left him to fight in the
Clone Wars before the young boy could finish his Jedi training.
Sadly, Valin’s father was then killed very shortly after the Clone Wars, and in order
to hide her son’s identiy, Valin’s mother married a man named Rostek Horn and changer
Valin’s name to Vallin Horn.
After that however, Vallin changed his name to Hal Horn, to honor his original family
name…
Now this is really interesting because Hal Horn is the father of Corran Horn, another
absolutely huge character from Star Wars Legends who served as a Jedi Master and pilot in Rogue
Squardon.
According to the credits for Episode 2 of the Kenobi show, the young boy who was taken
to see the fake Jedi Haja Estree was named Corran, and his mother was named Nyche.
This matches up perfectly with the character of Corran Horn from Star Wars Legends, and
now Hal Horn, which had his name written on the wall…
Lucasfilm are clearly building up to something, and maybe this is a breadcrumb trail being
left for us before the Rogue Squadron Film directed by Patty Jenkins, whenever that is
actually happening.
3.
At number 3 we have Caleb Dume.
Caleb Dume was the original name of Jedi Knight Kanan Jarrus, who served as the master of
Ezra Bridger.
During Order 66, Caleb was sitting with his Master, Depa Bilaba and their Clone Troopers
at a campfire, laughing and telling stories.
Unfortunately however, at this exact moment, their clone commander Grey got the call to
execute Order 66 directly from Palpatine, who even called him by name, and they turned
on the two Jedi.
Caleb’s master shouted out for him to run as fast as he could, promising that she would
be right behind him, but that was a lie…
She died moments later to the blaster fire of her own men, all to save the life of her
Padawan.
Caleb then fled to a nearby planet and was taken in by a scoundrel before finally changing
his name to Kanan Jarrus, to stay hidden.
Now eventually, Kanan was recaptured by Commander Grey and his Captain Styles, but he fought
back and hit their heads a wall inside of their ship.
Now the strange thing here is that after this happened, Grey started to break free of his
inhibitor chip, and seriously started questioning whether what they were doing was right.
In the end, Grey gave his life to save Kanan Jarrus by destroying his own control panel,
and allowing it to be destroyed by Kanan’s friends…
4.
Now at Number 4 we have another pretty renowned name in the Star Wars Legends timeline, Djin
Altis.
Djin Altis was a member of the Jedi Order who served during the time of the Clone Wars.
He served as the head of an offshoot group of Jedi known as the Altisian Jedi, who didn’t
follow the rules and directives of the Jedi Council, but still served the Republic.
After rising through the ranks of the regular Jedi Order, Djin Altis began to view the Jedi
code in a different way to the council.
He believed that individuals of any age could become Jedi, not just very young ones and
that Masters should be able to take on many Padawans.
In essence, he wanted the Jedi’s numbers to flourish, rather than remain at a small
amount, distant from the rest of the galaxy.
His beliefs on the force powers allowed by the Jedi also differed signficantly.
Despite being banned by the council, Altis taught his students the ability to preserve
their conciousness after death by transferring it to an inanimate object.
If you’ve read the Darth Vader comics and know about Darth Momin, this is the Dark Side
force ability that allows Sith to become force ghosts.
With the unfortunate caveat being, they are bound to one object, and therefore one location.
During the Clone Wars, Altis also became familliar with Anakin Skywalker’s marriage situation
and offered him safe refuge with the Altisian Jedi should the council ever expel him for
being with Padme.
Now during the Dark Times, after Order 66, Altis and his breakaway order immediately
went underground into hiding.
Because they didn’t often work side by side with the main Republic Army and the Clones,
most of them actually survived the initial call of Order 66 and helped those from the
main order to escape the Purge.
It will be very interesting to see where they go with it in the new Canon version of the
story, but something is clearly being built up to.
5.
The fifth Jedi Name on the wall of the safehouse is Roganda Ismaren.
Roganda was a Jedi initiate from the planet Alderaan who escaped Order 66 as a youngling
and went into hiding with a group of fellow younglings.
In legends she managed to stay hidden for about a year after the Purge until Palpatine
found her hideout and sent a colossal dreadnaught called the Eye of Palpatine to destroy her
and the others.
At this point, Roganda and her brother were kidnapped by imperial inquisitors and Roganda
was forced to watch the execution of her brother…
Being absolutely traumatized by having to watch the slaughter of her own brother, she
vowed to gain enough power that she would never be subject to the same fate as him…
Using her force powers, she escaped the inquisitors and eventually integrated herself into the
empire…
Over time, she rose in status so much that she even became part of Palpatine’s royal
imperial court, using her beauty and charm to rise up.
After this she also had a son named Irek Ismaren, and began to train him as a possible replacement
for the emperor.
Unfortunately for her, this all fell apart once Palpatine died and she didn’t have
the support needed to take over the Imperial Remnants from the other warlords left scrapping
over the ruins of the Empire.
And this story does come to a horrifying and tragic end with Ismaren’s son eventually
rising up and killing her in cold blood, driven purely by the mindless need to destroy.
This happened because Rogana tried to augment him with brain cybernetics to make the most
powerful dark side force user ever to walk the galaxy…
Clearly this was a horrendous decision and backfired horribly on her.
1.
For Life and Light.
Now this one is a clear reference to the popular phrase used during the time of the high Republic
“For Light and Life”.
It’s possible that this phrase stuck with the Jedi Order over the hundreds of years
up to Order 66, and the Jedi on the underground railroad used it as a sign of hope, and to
encourage other Jedi to keep fighting, or else the light of the Galaxy would really
go out for good.
Not to mention that the High Republic was considered to be the golden era of the Jedi
where there was none of the corruption, infighting and politics that later plagued the Jedi Order
and led to their downfall.
So, it’s definitely the right era to call back to and remind JEdi survivors of in a
time of such dire need.
But let me know how you think that will connect to the upcoming high republic shows that we
know are on the way.
Maybe we might end up seeing a relic or artefact from the high republic in another episode
of the show, along the Path.
and those are all of the names that we’ve been able to decipher from that wall in the
Jedi Safehouse so far.
Let me know which one you think is the most interesting for the new Canon and if you enjoyed,
