Oppo Rancisis was a very senior member of the Jedi High Council who fought throughout
the Clone Wars and was well known throughout the Order for being strongly opposed to allowing
Anakin Skywalker to join the Jedi Order because of his age, at 9 years old.
He fought as a General on the front lines of the Clone Wars and was also a very vocal
member on the Jedi high council throughout most of the war.
So what happened to Oppo Rancisis after the Clone Wars and Order 66?
I’m going to break down exactly what happened to the Rancisis after the last time we see
him the Clone Wars series and the shocking discovery that involved him.
Before we get into it, make sure you smash the subscribe button down below because I’ll
be releasing an updated video tomorrow on every single known Order 66 survivor, since
we just had a new surviving Jedi added to the list with the release of the Star Wars:
Dark Legends book.
Yeah that is a slight spoiler for the video, but if he died straight away, this video would
only be 10 seconds long.
So if you want to see that, make sure you hit the big red button down below.
Oppo Rancisis was present when Master Yoda heard the voice of Qui-Gon Jinn, joining in
on a Jedi mediation session in order to help Yoda uncover the truth and sense Qui-Gon’s
spirit for themselves.
This led the serpent-like master to look deeply into the force and attempt to connect more
strongly with the cosmic force, instead of the living force.
We’re not sure at this point whether or not he was successful in this quest, but since
we don’t see him as a force ghost in any other material, I’ll let you guys decide.
After this, he was present at the Jedi council meeting when Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin reported
the discovery of a massive kyber crystal on Utapau, in an unfinished Clone Wars episode.
This event made Master Rancisis incredibly concerned about the state of the war, and
it’s impending end.
Following this, he was also supposed to make an appearance in the unfinished Clone Wars
episode where Ahsoka discovers an ancient Sith Shrine below the Jedi temple.
It’s not clear exactly what his role would have been in that episode arc, but we do know
that he would be wielding his curved green lightsaber, which looks very similar to Count
Dooku’s.
With the way his species, the Thisspiasians moved, a curved blade was probably more suitable
for his combat needs.
Given the fact that his unique lightsaber design was created and modelled for the episode,
you can almost guarantee that he would have had at least one fight with his vibrant green
blade.
Let me know down below if you would love to see Oppo Rancisis in an intense fight scene
against an inquisitor, because it would honestly be incredible to see how he would fight.
Following that, Oppo Rancisis was deployed to the battle of Saleucami, alongside Masters
Quinlan Vos and Stass Allie, only weeks before the call for Order 66 was given.
From Revenge of the Sith, we know that Stass Allie was unfortunately gunned down by her
Clone Troopers, but we do know that Quinlan Vos and Oppo Rancisis were able to escape
the shocking betrayal of their Clone Troopers.
We don't yet know just how he managed to escape from the harsh battlefields of Saleucami,
but it’s likely that he had to fight the clone troopers of the 91st Mobile Reconnaissance
Corps alone, as Quinlan Vos moved his his troopers to Boz Pity and eventually Kashyyk,
shortly before Order 66 - which we heard from Obi-Wan in Revnege of the Sith.
After escaping from the Jedi’s darkest Day, Rancisis went into hiding, making it incredibly
difficult to track him down.
Darth Vader and the inquisitors actually noted that he was one of the most well hidden Jedi
survivors in the Galaxy, because they simply could not find a lead to his location, after
many attempts.
Darth Vader did however manage to track down his fellow surviving Jedi, Eeth Koth, who
was actually removed from the Jedi council before Order 66, leading him to leave the
order.
Eeth Koth became a priest of a small church on a backwater planet, but his new life was
put to a turbulent end very quickly when Darth Vader arrived, brutally plunging his deep
red lightsaber through his back.
Following this killing of Eeth Koth, Vader met up with the Grand Inquisitor, who showed
him a list of confirmed Jedi survivors that they were so far unsuccessful in tracking
down.
On that list was Selrahc Eluos, which is literally just the comic author’s name backwards,
Obi-Wan Kenobi, Master Yoda, Coleman Kcaj and of course, Oppo Rancisis, confirming his
survival up until this point.
So right now, we know that Oppo Rancisis is being hunter for by the Grand Inquisitor and
Darth Vader himself during the time of the Bad Batch series, meaning that he could make
an appearance in that show.
So let me know down below if you’d like to see him make an appearance in future Star
Wars content.
I’d absolutely love to see more of him, and have loved him ever since he was included
in the 2003 Clone Wars series.
So that is exactly what happened to Oppo Rancisis after the last time we saw in the Clone Wars
series and Order 66.
