Kanan Jarrus Spotted in Recent Episode of STAR WARS: AHSOKA
The fourth episode of Star Wars: Ahsoka got fans excited about so many different things! It was just a big episode that ended in a very cool and exciting way. But there was one thing that you might have missed in the episode that I thought I’d point out to you.
It’s a very small and brief cameo of Rebels character Kanan Jarrus. The character can be spotted on Hera Syndulla's ship, The Ghost, in the cockpit. You can see a picture of Kanan, Hera’s lost love, and the father of her son Jacen Syndulla.
It’s not easy to see, but it’s there. You can see a screenshot of it below. Kanan is also referenced in Jacen's clothing, but no one has mentioned his name out loud yet. Kanan made the ultimate sacrifice in Rebels Season 4 as he held back a massive explosion giving his friends time to escape. He was ultimately engulfed by the flames and killed.
When previously asked if Kanan would be making his live-action debut in Ahsoka, Freddie Prinze Jr. explained: "Kanana's story – at least for me – is done, I thought it ended beautifully. People cried, I was very happy for that. I don't mean that like a jerk: our goal was to make you cry. I didn't even want to do the little voice over in the last Star Wars movie [The Rise of Skywalker]. I thought it felt forced."
There’s really no point in bringing Kanan into the world of live-action, but it was nice to see this little tribute to him in Ahsoka.
