He is no longer avoiding attachment (I wonder what master Yoda would have to say about that?) but in doing so, letting go of a part of who he had to be for so long. Hera’s desire (and the rest of the crew as well) to join the Rebellion is enough to convince Kanan to stay. The Ghost was his home, but it was always moving. A bit of that old desire to never stay in one place too long starts to come back.
He is unwilling to join the Rebellion without hesitation.
The Kanan we met at the beginning of series might not have been able to resist this temptation.Īs season two opens, Kanan has fully accepted his role as Jedi, but we see he still clings to the desire to not answer to anyone (besides Hera). Believing that Grand Inquisitor had murdered Ezra could have easily resulted in Kanan tapping into the dark side for revenge, but he resists. Kanan’s victory does not come from a place of anger or lack of discipline, but from allowing the light side of the Force to guide him. In the season one finale Kanan was able to defeat of the Grand Inquisitor after being tortured, but even worse, believing that Ezra has been killed. Something we can gather that only a force user, open and willing to the light side, would be able to do. As he continues to accept his role as Jedi, Yoda speaks to Kanan through the Force when they visit the Jedi temple on Lothal. He does not want to let Ezra down as his Master. Throughout the course of the first season he not only starts to accept his path once again, he begins to take pride in it. Only reluctantly does he fall back into the role of Jedi. It was not until he met Hera Syndulla that he found a small bit of purpose. After surviving Order 66, Caleb took the name of Kanan Jarrus, making his way around the galaxy doing small jobs but never staying in one place too long (and avoiding attachments). The season two finale not only solidified how far this once in-hiding “nobody” has come, but also how losing his sight will only lead to him becoming a stronger Jedi and teacher.įor those unfamiliar with Kanan’s back story (which is fleshed out in the Kanan comics as well as in the novel A New Dawn) his true name is Caleb Dume and he was the apprentice of Depa Billaba. Quietly growing in the background of Rebels, behind Ezra, behind Ahsoka and Vader, behind the Rebellion, is Kanan Jarrus.
