Kanan Jarrus Kanan Jarrus , born Caleb Dume , was a Force - sensitive human male Jedi Knight who survived Order 66 during the Clone Wars . Living on thanks to the sacrifice of his Master , Depa Billaba , on Kaller , he met the smuggler Janus Kasmir , who taught him how to survive as a fugitive . Going into hiding , he forsook the Jedi ways for some time , swapping his blue - bladed lightsaber for a blaster . After working with the Twi ' lek rebel operative Hera Syndulla during the Gorse conflict , Jarrus decided to join her nascent rebel cell . As Syndulla ' s second - in - command , the two came to develop a romantic relationship . After the Force - sensitive teenager Ezra Bridger joined the Spectres , Jarrus became his Jedi mentor despite still being a padawan . After defeating the Grand Inquisitor in combat , Jarrus and his fellow rebels learned they were part of a larger rebellion and joined Phoenix Cell . During a mission to Malachor , Jarrus was blinded by the former Sith Lord Maul . After months of retreat , Jarrus restored his connection to the Force and repaired his frayed relationship with Bridger with the help of a mysterious being called Bendu , who taught him to see things through the Force . The reinvigorated Jarrus and his fellow rebels would continue fighting various adversaries including Imperial Grand Admiral Thrawn and Maul , who sought to corrupt Bridger and destroy Obi - Wan Kenobi , the key to destroying the Sith . Regaining his confidence , Jarrus also taught the Mandalorian rebel Sabine Wren how to wield the Darksaber and helped her to rally the Mandalorians over to the rebel cause . As the Rebel Alliance escalated its struggle with the Empire , Kanan and his fellow rebels returned to free Lothal , a world which they had a special connection with . Jarrus eventually met his death one year before the Battle of Yavin on Lothal , during the rescue of Hera Syndulla after Governor Arihnda Pryce ordered her walker to fire on the fuel pod they were on , sacrificing himself to allow his fellow rebels to escape . Sometime after Jarrus ' death , Hera gave birth to their son whom she named Jacen . Biography . Early life . A human male , Caleb Dume was born thirty - three years before the Battle of Yavin , during the waning years of the Galactic Republic . As he was integrated into the Jedi Order at a very young age , he would never know his parent s , for he went straight from his homeworld to the Jedi Temple on Coruscant , where he would be raised as a Jedi . As a youngling , Dume met Jedi Master Luminara Unduli once , remembering her as " brave , compassionate and disciplined . " He often heard Grand Master Yoda say " Do , or do not . There is no try , " although he did not fully comprehend what Yoda meant during his practice duels with fellow initiates such as Sammo Quid and Tai Uzuma . He also did some saber training with Ahsoka Tano . The Clone Wars . Bombing at the Jedi Temple . One day away from the Initiate Trials , Dume was in a practice duel with Uzuma and Quid under Yoda ' s instructions , when he tripped and hit his head against the floor , injuring himself in the process . The Grand Master then told him to go to the infirmary : by the time he reached it he was no longer bleeding , and the 2 - 1B surgical droid told him to leave as the cut would heal on its own . It was then Dume saw Depa Billaba when she was recovering in a bacta tank and felt a connection with her . Just as he left , Billaba awoke . The next day , he underwent the trials and passed , much like Uzuma and Quid . He also attended a class by Madame Jocasta Nu on how Padawans were chosen by Jedi Knight s , and Dume asked about how it came to be , much to Mace Windu ' s disapproval and Billaba ' s amusement . On another occasion he attended a lecture by Obi - Wan Kenobi in the Jedi Temple ' s central security station learning about the Jedi recall signal , during which he inadvertently gave Kenobi the idea to use the beacon to warn Jedi away . Later on , Billaba herself would instruct them on Form III . After the lesson , Dume was hoping Billaba would choose him , and checked if she had a Padawan ( she didn ' t ) and asked his two peers what they thought about it ; Quid told him that word had it she was " damaged goods " after her disastrous defeat on Haruun Kal . As he didn ' t know what to think , Dume went to Billaba and asked about what had happened to her , and she saw his choice as not political , but wise . Before they could finish the conversation , Dume and Billaba then heard an intruder at the Temple , Rackham Sear , a Captain of Confederacy of Independent Systems who was setting bombs off at the Temple . Dume was then saved by Billaba from the initial explosion . They then hid , for Billaba wanted more information about the situation , but despite her hesitation , Dume followed the attacker to the roof and attempted to stop him . However , Sear subdued Dume and tried to kill him , but Billaba intervened and saved him . She also destroyed the timer with Sear ' s own bombs , prompting Sear to attack her in an escape attempt . However , when Sear saw that they would not let go of him , he committed suicide . Avoiding the explosion , Billaba then asked Dume to become her apprentice . Five months before the end of the Clone Wars , at age 13 , Dume became Billaba ' s Padawan , and was taken by her to get a kyber crystal for his new lightsaber . Soon enough , Dume accompanied Billaba on her duty to lead the Grand Army of the Republic as General . Kardoa . Three weeks after the attack to the Temple , they went to planet Kardoa , for Dume ' s first mission , and where they were to rendezvous with Billaba ' s newly assigned battalion , led by the survivors of her last command . Dume met Commander Grey and Captain Styles , as well as Sergeant Soot and Corporal Big - Mouth and others . As he and Billaba familiarized themselves with the new battalion , they were to do a simple reconnaissance mission to refute or confirm reports of a Separatist presence on the planet . The morning after their arrival , Billaba split the battalion into five squad s to reconnoiter five canyons , with Dume accompanying Billaba . During the walk , Dume befriended CT - 1157 , who had not yet received a nickname . Unbeknownst to them , they were observed by a recon droid and promptly ambushed by the Separatist Droid Army , which destroyed their trail , leaving them no option but to resist before reinforcements arrived . As their signal was jammed ( leaving them unable to contact the other squads ) , Billaba left Dume and other troopers to keep the Separatist forces occupied , while she located the Separatist ' s ship . However , during the skirmish , Dume got too far out front and disobeyed a trooper ' s order that he pull back , and received two shots from the enemy droid s . Left vulnerable to three B1 battle droids , CT - 1157 went to his rescue and destroyed the three droids , for which he would earn the name " Stance " . Fortunately for the two , General Coburn Sear ordered his troops to pull back to secure their ship , and Billaba managed to make them depart Kardoa . Their first battle being a success , Dume underwent bacta treatment for his injuries and , before long , the battalion received its next assignment : Mygeeto . Mygeeto . Dume then took part in the third Battle of Mygeeto to take one of the mesas occupied by the Confederate forces . Dume , Billaba , Grey , and Stance were able to hold off the battle droids until Skull Squadron helped them . Dume and the others then returned to their base camp . They were then confronted by Confederate forces under General Grievous and Colonel Coburn Sear . There he watched as Sear killed " Stance " . Dume then fought Sear to avenge Stance . During their fight , Dume was able to destroy Sear ' s Electro sword and cut the fuel to his Flamethrower . Dume gave him the chance to surrender , but Sear refused . Dume then watched as Sear burned himself alive and continue trying to kill until he moved away . Dume watched as Sear leapt to his death , acknowledge Sear as his first kill . Dume , Grey and Styles then rushed to find rescue Billaba from Grievous . They saved Billaba , but Grievous and his forces retreated . Dume and the others then gave Stance a burial and then place Billaba in a bacta tank . They went to Kaller . Kaller . During the last few days of the war , at age 14 , Dume took part in the battle of Kaller , in which Billaba led the Republic forces to victory during the last day of the Clone Wars against the Separatist forces under Devaronian General Kleeve , whose departure meant the end of the battle and the surrender of the planet to the Republic . Though the meeting with Gamut Key and other Kalleran s and was marked by the discussion of Dume , Grey and Styles with Janus Kasmir who expressed little gratitude to the Jedi General , the three were silenced by Billaba , who moved her troops to rest in the field under the stars . While the two were alone , Billaba told Dume she had been neglecting his training and the two went onto practising Form III until nighttime . She also asked Dume how he felt , and Dume told her that his heart was at peace , having found his place in the galaxy . Billaba told him , however , that he mustn ' t grow too attached with life as it was then , and though valuable , he had to learn to rule his emotions . Afterwards , he shared a moment of rapport with his master , Grey and Styles ( with whom Dume had developed a sense of camaraderie ) at a bonfire . Though they teased him about his inquisitive nature , Billaba gave him a holocron so that he could " study the role of questions " and " peaceful dissent " in the Order . Rise of the Empire . Order 66 . Moments later , Supreme Chancellor Sheev Palpatine issued Order 66 , which branded all Jedi as traitors to the state and called for their immediate execution , to Commander Grey . As they felt the slaughter of the Jedi throughout the Force , Dume and his master were confronted by the once - friendly clone troopers . Aware of their disadvantage , Billaba ordered Dume to run , but he froze as he watched his master kill Kaylon , Remo and Mixx in self - defense until Billaba snapped him out of it . Dume himself took down Soot and Big - Mouth , until Styles and Grey ordered the battalion to surround them . Seeing that the clones would soon cut off any escape , Billaba told Dume to run and that she would be right behind him — the first lie she had ever told him . Dume , who knew she was lying , ran into the woods anyway . From afar , Dume saw his master be killed under Commander Grey ' s blaster fire to save him . Billaba ' s sacrifice gave him enough time to conceal himself and wait for the clones to pass by . Evading the battalion all night , by sunrise he reached an outlying public transport station with a transport going into Plateau City . When he got there , Dume spotted a clone using a holoimage of him and giving the order to kill on sight . So , for several days , Dume evaded clone patrols , could not sleep out of fear of being caught in one spot too long , and due to not having any credit s , was forced to search dumpsters for food . Partner to Kasmir . Dume , however , was discovered by Kasmir , who tossed Dume some food , and was about to walk away when Dume begged for a safe spot to sleep . Kasmir gave in and allowed him to borrow the spare bunk in his ship , the " Kasmiri " . After a bath , Dume slept for a full planetary rotation , and Kasmir gave Dume some clothes so that he would not be running around in Jedi robes . Wondering what he should do , Kasmir told him he had to lie , cheat , steal , and survive , just before he received the Jedi emergency signal recalling him to the Temple . Unaware of Emperor Palpatine ' s trap , Dume pleaded with Kasmir to take him to Coruscant , but the Kalleran refused . He then told him to finish his meal and leave his ship when he did so . When Kasmir walked outside , Dume took the chance to steal the " Kasmiri " and jump into lightspeed to Coruscant . However , while in hyperspace , he received Obi - Wan Kenobi ' s message in which he instructed all Jedi to go into hiding from the Empire , only to come out in realspace above Coruscant ' s orbit and be surrounded by ARC - 170 starfighters due to a HoloNet alert about the stolen ship . Dume managed to find an opening and escaped back to Kaller , where upon landing , he was confronted by Kasmir , who wanted nothing to do with him . However , Dume continued to follow Kasmir around , watching him from afar for some time , until he rescued Kasmir from Tápusk and his colleagues , who ran away . Kasmir then brought Dume back to the " Kasmiri " , where he chastised him for ruining the negotiations to hire them for a job . So , he had Dume take their place and told him to abandon his Jedi apparel . Thus , Dume severed his Padawan braid , destroyed his Jedi comlink after uploading Kenobi ' s message into the holocron , and hid it and his lightsaber away . He put on different clothes and took a blaster , and realized from Kasmir that he needed a new name before accompanying Kasmir to steal IG - RM droids for sell on the black market . However , the pair were caught by the guards and Kasmir betrayed Dume in exchange of the IG - RM droids . Imprisoned in a cell and awaiting his execution , Dume heard as Key contacted Grey and Styles to inform him of Dume ' s capture . However , he was rescued by Kasmir and an IG - RM droid before long , and they escaped from Kaller aboard the " Kasmiri " and formed a partnership . Together , they pulled off many jobs , in which Dume learned how to be a thief and smuggler , and ultimately became friends with Kasmir , all the while they were tracked down to be eliminated by Grey and Styles , faithful soldier s of the recently - established Galactic Empire . Eventually , they would go to Lahn , where during a job , Dume would meet Kasmir ' s trading partner , Jondo — actually , the former Separatist general , Kleeve . At first , Dume threatened to kill him , but stood down when he accepted that the Clone Wars were truly over and went to meet up with Kasmir , who had been arrested by Styles and Grey . Instead of helping him , Dume abandoned Kasmir and met with Kleeve , whom he convinced to let him take it . Kleeve agreed and took him to the " Escape " , where the pair were captured by clone troopers . Grey and Styles placed the unconscious Dume aboard their " Gozanti " - class cruiser to return to Kaller , deciding what to do before they executed him . Despite Dume telling them that it was really Palpatine who had betrayed the Galactic Republic and not him and the Jedi Order , the clones were unconvinced . Pushing the two clones away , Dume then and put his trust in the Force one last time opened the airlock . Sucked into space , he was rescued by Kasmir and Kleeve ( aboard the " Kasmiri " and the " Escape " , respectively ) , whose ships were unable to hold the Imperial for long . At the same time , Grey realized the mistake he had made earlier during the execution of Order 66 and destroyed their ship ' s controls , taking down its shields . In turn , Dume , Kasmir and Kleeve fired at the ship , destroying it and killing Grey , Styles and other troopers in the process . Afterwards , they landed on Kaller , where he suggested to Kasmir that he and Kleeve work together , while he would go away . Kasmir however knew he was protecting himself from suffering another loss , but Dume hit him to make his point come across . Taking his lightsaber and holocron with him aboard the " Escape " , Kasmir bid Dume farewell , as the former Padawan departed for Moraga , where he started to call himself " Kanan Jarrus " . Forced to hide his Force - sensitivity , Jarrus kept his lightsaber locked away and forsook the Jedi ways for a long time , disguising himself as a freighter pilot , a bounty hunter , and a frontier ranger . Drinking away his problems and attempting to woo university girls , Kanan drifted from planet to planet in order to avoid the watchful eye of the Empire , never staying too long in any one place , and never distinguishing himself from others . Over time , he also found and collected spare lightsaber parts . Eventually , Jarrus emigrated to Gorse , where he met Okadiah Garson at his bar , The Asteroid Belt , when he broke up a brawl there . Through Garson , Jarrus got a job as freighter pilot carrying baradium bisulfate for Moonglow Polychemical between Gorse and its moon , Cynda . For five months , he lived in a flophouse next door to the cantina , worked as a bartender from time to time , drove Garson ' s hoverbus , and piloted " Expedient " with a flight clearance seven . Age of the Empire . Gorse . During one of his workshifts on Cynda , Jarrus met with Lal Grallik and Skelly , but refused to support Skelly ' s conspiracy theories over the Empire ' s mining operations on the moon . Later , he met Count Denetrius Vidian and convinced him to let Garson live after a tense meeting . Jarrus , then , continued to Zone Forty - Two , where he was forced to use the Force to survive an explosion set up by Skelly , and save Yelkin ' s life . Afraid to have revealed his true nature , he decided to leave Cynda — and Gorse — at once . On his return in " Expedient " , he handed his stowaway , Skelly , to Gord Grallik in Gorse City . It was then that he met Hera Syndulla when they got involved in a street fight with Charko ' s gang , but she disappeared before he could find out more about her . He returned to The Asteroid Belt , where he met Zaluna Myder , and Jarrus took part of her secret reunion with Syndulla until Skelly ' s interruption , when the Twi ' lek revealed she was investigating Count Vidian , hoping to know what he was doing on Gorse . On Syndulla ' s insistence , Jarrus agreed to take her to Moonglow in the next workshift , where he met Imperial Navy Captain Rae Sloane face to face during her search for the dissident miner Skelly , who had tried to convince Vidian to halt mining operations on Cynda . However , the Imperial soon departed to their spaceport after another of Skelly ' s bombings . Their borrowing of Garson ' s bus , however , prompted Jarrus to chase after them . After recovering the bus , escaping with Syndulla and Skelly and finding Myder trapped in the restroom , they discarded the now - useless vessel in a junkyard . After some rest , Jarrus agreed to guide them through town only , unwilling to attract Imperial attention and wanting to leave the system once and for all . Nevertheless , the Imperial - provoked explosion on Cynda prompted him to take " Expedient " and ask Syndulla to retrieve Garson ' s team , who were on a workshift at the time — only to discover their demise . Willing to stop Vidian ' s machinations , Jarrus , Syndulla , Skelly and Myder headed to Calcoraan Depot , where the former Padawan had the idea to intercept Vidian ' s report to the Emperor . They infiltrated the cyborg ' s private room , and later confronted him ; the Count ' s cybernetics allowing them to uncover most of his plans . On Jarrus ' suggestion , they also warned Sloane about Vidian ' s plans , with Jarrus himself claiming to Sloane that he was an deep undercover agent for the Emperor . Then , they headed back to the Gorse system , where they tried to delay Cynda ' s destruction by targeting the TIE fighters escorting baradium haulers , and later infiltrating Vidian ' s " Forager " so that Myder could tap into its Transcept systems and send a warning to Gorse . Once inside , Jarrus and Myder faced Count Vidian in his chamber , a few minutes before Sloane issued his arrest . Vidian ' s determination forced Sloane to order the destruction of " Forager " ’ s transmission tower . During the " Ultimatum " ’ s attack , Jarrus saved Syndulla , making use of the Force and revealing his true nature to her . They , along with Myder , escaped the ship ' s destruction in one of its life pods . Landing on Gorse , it allowed Jarrus time to leave a trail placing him on Gorse during the conflict . After they parted , Jarrus bade farewell to Myder in her new home , and Syndulla accepted his proposal to become a crew member of her ship , the " Ghost " . Lothal . By the age of 28 , Jarrus had become the leader of the motley crew of the " Ghost " , whose members waged a war of resistance against the Empire . Besides Syndulla , his other companions included the astromech droid C1 - 10P ( or " Chopper " ) , the former Lasat warrior Garazeb Orrelios , and the Mandalorian weapons expert and artist Sabine Wren . Unknown to Kanan , this rebel cell was actually part of larger rebel network that was fighting against the Galactic Empire . Known as the Spectres , Kanan ' s rebel band launched numerous raids and incursions against Imperial forces around the Outer Rim planet of Lothal . One such stand was a raid on an Imperial supply convoy . After the raid , Jarrus , Syndulla , and Chopper found themselves under attack by Imperial TIE fighters . After the attack disabled both the " Ghost " ’ s shields and internal comm system , Jarrus and Syndulla began giving Chopper conflicting orders over which system to fix first . It was Chopper who ultimately destroyed the final TIE , and his efforts were recognized by the two organics before the ship blasted into hyperspace . On another occasion , Jarrus was supposed to rendezvous with Orrelios . The Lasat had shown up at the wrong alleyway and , against Jarrus ' protestations via comlink , picked a fight with several stormtrooper s , which culminated in the destruction of a TIE fighter . Jarrus was nevertheless pleased and set out to meet Orrelios . Finding a Padawan . During an operation on Lothal ' s Capital City to steal several Imperial supply and blaster crates , Jarrus sensed the presence of a 14 - year - old boy , Ezra Bridger , but continued his mission by intercepting the Imperial speeders , until Bridger stole one of the speeders . Forced to pursue him , Jarrus finally recovered the crate by offering the boy a chance to escape in the " Ghost " . Jarrus witnessed Bridger as he unknowingly used the Force to leap into the hovering ship with his crate . With Bridger safely on board , the " Ghost " left the planet and jumped into hyperspace , losing the TIE fighters pursuing them . Jarrus and Syndulla received their payment from Cikatro Vizago and information about a group of Wookiee s enslaved by the Empire . Alerted by Chopper , Jarrus went into his quarters only to spot Bridger with his lightsaber in hand . He demanded that he hand over it , but knowingly allowed the boy to steal his holocron as a secret test . Determined to save the Wookiees , Jarrus , Wren , Orrelios and Chopper entered a " Gozanti " - class cruiser , but were soon driven off the ship by the arrival of Agent Kallus on the " Lawbringer " . Bridger ' s resulting capture , however , led the crew to argue about whether to rescue the boy . Left as the deciding vote , Jarrus chose to mount a rescue — only to find Bridger waiting near the Star Destroyer ' s docking bay . Once inside the " Ghost " , Bridger revealed to them that he had learned of the Wookiees ' location in the spice mines of Kessel . Soon enough , they reached the planet and fought stormtroopers so that Bridger could release the Wookiees from captivity . Cornered by Kallus and his men , Jarrus ignited his lightsaber and publicly revealed himself to be a Jedi , giving everyone time to escape . After being picked up via cargo container , Jarrus and the " Ghost " arrived in time to save Bridger and Kitwarr from Kallus and escaped from Kessel . Soon after the Wookiees ' departure , Bridger stole Jarrus ' lightsaber from his belt , and kept it until they returned to Lothal . During his farewell , however , the boy returned the holocron to the former Jedi . Jarrus , aware of his Force - sensitivity , met up with Bridger at his tower and gave the boy two choices — to keep the lightsaber as a useless relic and remain on Lothal , or return to the ship and become Jarrus ' Padawan , and a member of the crew . Awaiting for his answer on the " Ghost " , Jarrus opened the holocron and played Obi - Wan Kenobi ' s full message . As it ended , Bridger returned the Jedi ' s lightsaber , and Jarrus ended up taking the boy under his wing to teach him how to control his powers . Garel . After taking on Ezra as his apprentice , Jarrus took part in a mission to steal Imperial weapons from the planet Garel . The rebels were short of funds and planned to sell them to the crime lord Vizago . During the mission , Jarrus along with Wren , Bridger , Chopper , and Orrelios boarded the same star commuter shuttle carrying Amda Wabo , Minister Maketh Tua , and the droids R2 - D2 and C - 3PO to Garel . During the journey , Jarrus , Bridger , and Chopper staged an argument which got Chopper along with R2 - D2 and C - 3PO sent to the storage compartment . This enabled Sabine to offer her services as an Aqualish translator for Wabo and Tua . Wren discovered that the weapons were located in Bay 7 . After arranging with Syndulla to rendezvous with them , the rebels stole the weapons and fought off Tua ' s stormtroopers . During the confusion , R2 - D2 and C - 3PO stowed aboard the " Ghost " ; unknown to the rebels , the two droids were on a secret mission to prevent the Imperials from taking the weapons . Returning to Lothal , the rebels attempted to sell the T - 7 ion disruptor rifle s to Vizago , but before they could complete the transaction , the rebels were interrupted by the arrival of ISB Agent Kallus , who brought two AT - DP walkers and several stormtroopers . During the skirmish , Jarrus stopped a walker with a disruptor rifle . Orrelios was defeated by Agent Kallus but Bridger used the Force to save the lasat before Kallus could deliver the finishing blow . Meanwhile , R2 - D2 helped Wren and the other rebels to destroy the remaining disruptors . After defeating the Imperials , Jarrus personally returned the droids to their rightful owner , Bail Organa . The Senator never revealed his identity , but paid Jarrus generously before he left on the " Ghost " . Later on Lothal , Bridger and Orrelios got into a fight aboard the " Ghost " . As punishment , Syndulla sent them to buy some groceries including a meiloorun fruit . However , the two rebels ran into trouble and stole a TIE fighter . After learning of their predicament , Jarrus ordered the two to destroy the vessel . Despite this , Bridger and Orrelios refused , but kept it a secret so as to preserve it . Fool ' s Run . Sometime later , after a raid on an Imperial supply yard during which Jarrus had trouble to hit its TIE fighters , the crew was in need of parts to repair the " Ghost " and so , went to Osisis Station in the Regani sector . Hoping to obtain the parts from long - time - " associate " Galus Vez ' s black market operation , Jarrus and his team then met with the Besalisk . However , as the Empire had been doubling their inspections since their last visit , he refused to the transaction and challenged Syndulla to a race in Fool ' s Run , which much to Jarrus ' dismay , Syndulla accepted . During the race , when Vez started to play unfair , Jarrus and Bridger noticed it and help Syndulla . By concentrating , they used the Force and pushed two asteroid s to impede Vez ' s passage and help Syndulla win the race . When Vez was angered , he tried to retaliate by handing them over to the Empire , but Jarrus , Bridger and Syndulla resisted , and threatened to destroy Vez ’ s cargo ships . Forced to cooperate , Vez gave them the parts and the " Ghost " departed . Stygeon Prime . Due to his incomplete training , Jarrus had little confidence in his own ability to train Bridger , further compounded by the Bridger ' s lack of focus and discipline . On one occasion , Jarrus was forced to rescue Bridger during a training lesson above Lothal ' s atmosphere . Later , Jarrus learnt from one of Gall Trayvis ' s broadcasts that Jedi Master Luminara Unduli was still alive but imprisoned in the Stygeon system . Jarrus immediately resolved to rescue her , hoping to deliver Bridger to a full - fledged Master for training . Together with the whole crew , Jarrus devised a plan to enter the Spire and rescue Unduli . While Chopper waited aboard the " Ghost " , Jarrus and the other rebels descended to the Spire in the " Phantom " . After landing on the prison ' s landing platform , Jarrus along with Bridger , Wren , and Orrelios entered the prison complex . While latter two guarded the turbolift terminal , Jarrus and Bridger took a lift to reach the prisoner ' s cell . After using the Force to play mind trick s on the stormtroopers guarding her cell , the pair entered Unduli ' s cell only to discover her corpse , just before being cornered by the Grand Inquisitor , who revealed that he had used Unduli ' s remains to lure Jedi survivors to their deaths . Confronted by the Jedi hunter , Jarrus was forced to engage in a lightsaber duel , which continued into the Spire ' s corridors . The Inquisitor proved more than a match for Jarrus and taunted him for being a " poor student . " Jarrus and Bridger fled the Inquisitor and were rejoined by Wren and Orrelios to escape into a sealed hangar bay . With the Inquisitor temporarily held back , Jarrus convinced his apprentice to use the Force to unlock the outer hangar doors only to be surrounded by more stormtroopers . Fortunately for the rebels , Syndulla arrived in the " Phantom " accompanied by a large swarm of tibidee s , which proceeded to harass the Imperials , and Jarrus ' s team took advantage of the chaos to flee . Following their adventure on Stygeon Prime , Bridger told Jarrus he didn ' t need to continue training him if he didn ' t want to , but Jarrus explained that he only wanted the best teacher for Bridger , and recalled Master Yoda ' s words and vowed to continue training Ezra with a newfound resolve . He explained to Bridger that he would stop " trying " to train him and would actually train him properly , and Bridger agreed to continue training under him . Further missions . During one of Bridger ' s lesson on telekinesis , his Padawan was frustrated with his slow learning , but Jarrus tried to teach him that patience was one of the most valuable skills a Jedi had to learn . The next day , he and Orrelios took the " Phantom " to destroy an Imperial transmission center , during which the rest of the " Ghost " crew engaged Imperials in a skirmish near an ion storm . During mission to destroy a massive kyber crystal in possession of the Empire , Jarrus sent Bridger into the Academy for Young Imperials on Lothal to steal a decoder containing information about their target . When Bridger , with the assistance of fellow Imperial cadet Zare Leonis , stole the decoder and got Wren to transmit the information to Jarrus and Syndulla , but he also opted to prolong his stay at the academy to rescue a Force - sensitive cadet named Jai Kell from being abducted by the Inquisitor . Despite his misgivings about Bridger ' s safety , Jarrus and Syndulla continued their mission and intercepted the Imperial convoy carrying the kyber crystal ; using the Force , Jarrus located the crystal in the middle " Gozanti " - class cruiser . While Jarrus piloted the " Phantom " and distracted the escorting TIE fighters , Syndulla attacked the middle cruiser and successfully destroyed the crystal . The pair narrowly escaped a great explosion , which wiped out the rest of the convoy . They then returned to Lothal to rendezvous with Bridger and the other Spectres . During a solo mission on the " Phantom " , he was fleeing from the Inquisitor ' s forces when he was attacked by TIE fighters . The VCX - series auxiliary starfighter was severely damaged while Jarrus was injured . Though he managed to land the craft mostly intact on Vyndal , he passed out and was rescued by a native and her son . The two brought to their home to protect him from the forest ' s night creatures , and when he awoke , the woman took him to see their village leader , Yeleb " the Protector " . Jarrus realized almost immediately Yeleb ' s deception ( posing as a Jedi and in possession of a lightsaber ) and asked a private audience . After some initial animosity , Yeleb revealed how he had come to obtain the weapon , only for the Grand Inquisitor and his men to arrive at the village . Refusing to let the Imperials raze the village , both Jarrus and Yeleb fought the Inquisitor ; during the skirmish , Yeleb was mortally wounded and Jarrus was forced to trick the Inquisitor into believing he had left the planet aboard one of their own ships . With the Imperials driven off , Jarrus returned and recognized Yeleb ' s courage before he died , and encouraged the villagers that they could defend themselves as they had done during the skirmish before leaving the planet . On another mission , Jarrus piloted the " Ghost " to rescue Syndulla and Wren from Fort Anaxes , an abandoned Republic base on the asteroid PM - 1203 that was infested with fyrnock s . Syndulla and Wren ' s predicament had arisen when Bridger , Orrelios , and Chopper neglected to check a fuel leak on the " Phantom " . Unable to escape , the two women contacted the " Ghost " for help . Jarrus was meditating in his chambers when he heard Bridger and Orrelios panicking outside . After reprimanding the two , Jarrus flew the " Ghost " to Fort Anaxes and rescued Syndulla and Wren . Return to Kaller . Contacted by " Fulcrum " , the " Ghost " crew was to pick up supplies on Kaller for the Tarkintown refugees , which he had avoided for years , where crates were ready and waiting for them . Jarrus and his team arrived at the coordinates where the crates had been waiting for them , but found them empty . Furthermore , the provincial governor , Gamut Key , and his constabularies arrived at the scene , for they had received a tip that smugglers were using the area as a drop point and demanded that they let him search the ship . With nothing to hide , Syndulla allowed them ; before long , Key and his men left them to their devices . Instead of leaving , much to Jarrus ' reluctance , the team decided to track the ship themselves . Once they reached Plateau City , Jarrus decided to split the team up to cover more ground , and refused to let Syndulla accompany him , saying he would go with Chopper . Eventually , he followed the intel he thought led to his old former friend and ex - partner , Janus Kasmir , but instead , he found Tápusk . Almost giving away his identity , he told the supplies that belong to his operation , but Tápusk refused to give them back , for which Jarrus started a confrontation with them , taking out all of Tápusk men singlehandedly and unarmed . Once he was finished , Jarrus contacted the team to tell them he had recovered the supplies . Then , although Chopper tried to alert him of Tápusk , Jarrus ' senses were clouded by his memories of Kaller , and the Kalleran stabbed him in the back . Injured , Jarrus immediately knocked him out , and Gamut Key appeared to thank Jarrus for taking down Tápusk ' s operations and tell him that perhaps , the rebellion could use his help as an old politician on occasion , before leaving him alone . Not too long afterward , Jarrus passed out from blood loss . The team arrived then and took him to a medcenter , where he was placed in a bacta tank , under the careful eye of his teammates , who were told he needed to be in there for a few weeks or until he regained consciousness . However , Imperial forces surrounded the building to capture them . Kanan then awoke and used the Force to break the bacta tank , taking the stormtroopers by surprise . He then grabbed his lightsaber and killed the troopers . Jarrus and Bridger stayed behind on Kaller because of a coded message he received from his old friend , Morfizo of Moraga . Jarrus and Bridger then went with Governor Key to Moraga to speak with Morfizo ' s wife Morfizia and her childeren . There , Jarrus was told that Morfizo had been taken to Lahn by the Empire for joining a rebel cell . After sending Mofizia and her family to Kaller with Key , Jarrus and Bridger then took the " Escape " to Lahn . Once there , they went to the Imperial outpost at Illmek Island Spaceport . While Bridger distracted the two guards outside , Jarrus made his way to the roof . There , he cut into the ceiling with his lightsaber and then got a drop on the guards . Jarrus then met with Morfizo . However , the officer in charge shot at Jarrus . The officer , Vice Admiral Sloane , ordered Jarrus to drop his blaster . Jarrus was told by Sloane that after their encounter with each other on Gorse , she knew he was more than just a “ mouthy pilot . ” In her spare time , Sloane looked up Jarrus ' s history that led her to Moraga and Morfizo . She learned that " Kanan Jarrus " never existed before he went to Moraga . Jarrus then asked if Morfizo was imprisoned just to caputure him . Sloane told Jarrus that when she discovered Morfizo was a rebel , she hoped that his arrest would lead Jarrus back to her . Jarrus then Force - pushed her into the force field , knocking her out . Jarrus then took his blaster back and then freed Morfizo . Together , they made their way back to the " Escape " to meet up with Bridger . They returned to Kaller , where Jarrus and Bridger reunited Morfizo with his family . Empire Day . During Empire Day , Jarrus began training Bridger to use the Force to influence animals , starting with a loth - cat , but they soon went to Old Jho ' s Pit Stop to learn of the Empire ' s search for a Rodian called Tseebo . Following Senator Trayvis ' s broadcast , the Spectres ruined the Imperial parade by detonating a bomb in the recently - unveiled TIE Advanced v1 . During their escape , Bridger guided Jarrus and Wren into his old residence , where they met Tseebo and found about Bridger ' s painful past . Considering the valuable information the Rodian possessed , the three rebels decided to smuggle him out of Lothal in a stolen Imperial Troop Transport . Despite Kallus ' s intervention , Jarrus managed to board the " Ghost " along with the rest of the crew . However , they were soon followed by the Inquisitor , who managed to place a XX - 23 S - thread tracker in the " Phantom " . Aware of this , Jarrus devised a plan to lure the Inquisitor to Fort Anaxes by detaching the shuttle while the " Ghost " was still on hyperspace . Once there , he removed the tracking device off the " Phantom " and prompted Bridger to let go of his fear , so that he could connect with the fyrnocks . Both master and apprentice , then , awaited for the Inquisitor ' s coming , and Jarrus engaged in combat with the Pau ' an once again . However , the Inquisitor managed to knock him out with a powerful Force push . He only regained consciousness just as Bridger tapped into the dark side of the Force and controlled an enormous fyrnock to attack the Inquisitor , who was also wielding Jarrus ' s lightsaber at the time . The creature kept the Inquisitor busy enough that Jarrus was able to bring the now - unconscious Bridger to the " Phantom " , recover his lightsaber and destroy the Imperial shuttle . As they returned to the " Ghost " , Jarrus told Bridger that he had made a dangerous connection to the Force , and apologized for not teaching him what he needed to know . During a mission to swipe the Lothal Imperial Academy ' s new recruits , Wren let herself be captured and taken to the Zygerrian slaver MaDall , prompting Jarrus and the rest of the team to look for clues of her whereabouts . When they found one of her graffiti stencils leading them to the planet Oon , Jarrus and his team followed the clue and , upon their encounter , Jarrus chastised her for not warning them beforehand . Not wanting to bring themselves to her level , they let MaDall free and returned , with Wren , to the " Ghost " . When Bridger left to practice his Jedi training alone and was captured by the bounty hunters Gowski and Fissol , Jarrus felt something was amiss and rode his personal Joben T - 85 speeder bike to their encounter . To rescue his Padawan , Jarrus defeated the two bounty hunters and freed Bridger , and at the prospect of letting Gowski and Fissol with the knowledge of their existence , Jarrus did a mind trick on them so that they thought there were no Jedi on Lothal and duo left Lothal . A few days later , Jarrus decided to put Bridger through a test to determine if the boy was meant to be a Jedi or not . Consulting the star map s in his holocron , he located a temple on Lothal , but prompted his apprentice to locate the temple by himself . Once he did , they landed the " Phantom " and entered the temple . Inside , Jarrus remained behind , waiting for Bridger to come back to the entryway , his life depending on his apprentice ' s return . Though initially surprised , Jarrus conferred with Yoda about his insecurities as a master . Nevertheless , Bridger returned with a kyber crystal in hand , and Jarrus explained that they were used to construct lightsabers . Over the course of several weeks , he helped — along with the rest of the crew — Bridger to build his own lightsaber . Jarrus provided his Padawan with some of the spare lightsaber parts he had found during his years in hiding . With all of the rebels assembled , the boy presented the weapon to Jarrus , who thought the design fit his apprentice , and returned it so that Bridger could ignite his lightsaber for the first time . Other missions . During a relief mission for Tarkintown , the " Ghost " delivered several crates of foodstuff to the settlers ; unbeknownst to them , the food had been poison ed by Kallus , prompting those who had eaten to become ill , amongst them Mindiz , for whom Orrelios had a soft spot . Although they were planning to obtain the medicine from Capital City , Orrelios ( thinking he had made a mistake ) left on his own and prompted the others to go to his help at a medical facility . As they found Orrelios at Kallus ' mercy , they intervened ( after obtaining a antidote for the Tarkintown settlers ) and engaged in a firefight with Kallus ' men . When Kallus tried to attack the weakened Orrelios , Jarrus Force pushed him and help Orrelios board the " Ghost " . Afterwards , they distributed the medicine to the sick and saved them , including Mindiz . Sometime later , Jarrus accompanied Orrelios and Chopper to Old Jho ' s Pit Stop , where the Lasat engaged Lando Calrissian in a game of sabacc . Believing Orrelios would win , Jarrus allowed him to bet the droid , only to see Calrissian win the game . Because of it , Jarrus made a deal with Calrissian to smuggle some cargo past the Imperial blockade of Lothal . Along with Syndulla , he escorted Calrissian to make a deal with Azmorigan aboard the " Merchant One " , where he reluctantly agreed with Syndulla ' s decision to stay on Azmorigan ' s ship . Once she returned , but unable to get past the puffer pig blocking her way to the cockpit , Jarrus had to pilot the " Ghost " through the Imperial blockade and land in Calrissian ' s estate . Following a confrontation with Azmorigan ' s forces , they bid farewell to Calrissian , who had returned Chopper to them . Jarrus later instructed Bridger on Form V , an exercise during which the boy had a vision revolving around Senator Trayvis . Warning Bridger not to blindly trust his vision , he accompanied the rest of the crew to see the senator ' s transmission . Though Jarrus suspected something was amiss , he agreed to accompany the crew to the Lothal City Capitol Building to meet with the senator . They were soon ambushed , however , and had to retreat to the sewers where they split off — Jarrus going with Orrelios and Wren , while Bridger , Syndulla and Trayvis going another way . Once they met up , Jarrus used the Force to stop the fan blocking their exit , and the rebels escaped from the Imperials as Trayvis ( revealed to be an Imperial spy ) regained consciousness . Once the rebels returned to the Ghost , Jarrus explained that Bridger interpreted his vision wrong by allowing his emotions to cloud it . After Bridger had a vision of himself attacking Orrelios with his lightsaber three times , he came for advice to Jarrus , but he told him that he did not dwell too much on the vision . Then , Orrelios returned from a meeting with a contact to exchange information , and had learned that the Empire had put a bounty on their heads . However , Bridger soon discovered that a Clawdite had infiltrated the ship , prompting a small firefight against the intruder until being stunned by Bridger . In the end , they dropped off the Clawdite on a moon and left . Tarkin Arrives . After a raid near Jalath , Jarrus , Wren and Bridger returned to the " Ghost " while Syndulla watched as Trayvis publicly proclaimed his loyalty to the Empire on the HoloNet . This , however , gave Jarrus the idea of broadcasting messages through Lothal ' s Imperial Communications Center . On their reconnaissance mission to the tower , Jarrus devised a plan with Wren ' s help , but unbeknownst to them , a dwarf probe droid warned the recently - arrived Grand Moff Wilhuff Tarkin of their presence . Though Bridger voiced his concerns , Jarrus told him he now understood what Billaba had once tried to teach him about sacrifice , and continued with their self - imposed operation . As the crew infiltrated the tower , Jarrus realized the reinforcements were already closing in and made contact with Syndulla to meet them at the top . Despite Bridger ' s initial refusal to follow Jarrus ' s orders , he complied when Jarrus told him he would right behind him , and locked the tower ' s door once both Agent Kallus and the Inquisitor appeared . At the prospect of losing his crew , Jarrus destroyed the entrance controls with his lightsaber and engaged in a duel with the Pau ' an . Unable to reach the " Phantom " , he ordered Syndulla to leave without him , leading to his capture by Imperial forces . At sunrise , during his crew ' s broadcast , he met Tarkin and witnessed as the Empire destroyed the tower to end the rebels ' message . Jarrus was then taken to the " Sovereign " , where he endured the Inquisitor ' s torture , who desired to know the location of other Rebel cells and the real identity of " Fulcrum , " but Jarrus revealed nothing before his crew rescued him . During the interrogation , the Inquisitor taunted Jarrus by asking him how he survived Order 66 , and that Billaba had gave her life for his . When he asked him what his Master ' s last word was , Jarrus replied that she had told him to run . The Inquisitor then ignited Jarrus ' lightsaber and told him that he had the right to be afraid , and that he would be unable to save his crew just as he couldn ' t save Billaba . Defeating the Grand Inquisitor . Separated from the others , Bridger freed Jarrus from his cell and helped the former Jedi walk until they reached the Star Destroyer ' s reactor , where the Inquisitor faced them . A fierce duel ensued , then , between Jarrus — who wielded Bridger ' s lightsaber — and the darksider . During one of their clashes , Bridger pulled Jarrus ' lightsaber from the Inquisitor ' s belt and attempted to help , but his skill was no match for the Inquisitor ' s level . The Pau ' an knocked the young apprentice off the platform , who then dropped his master ' s lightsaber . Initially shocked and dismayed , Jarrus quickly recovered and dueled the Inquisitor with renewed focus as he remembered his Jedi training and confronted his fear , using both his and Brigder ' s lightsaber . He managed to destroy the Grand Inquisitor ' s lightsaber , forcing him to hang on the ledge of the platform , while the pieces of the broken lightsaber fell into the reactor and irreparably damaged it . The darksider , then , warned Jarrus of things worse than death , before letting go and falling to the ship ' s exploding reactor . Relieved to discover that Bridger was still alive , the master - Padawan pair left " Sovereign " on board the the Inquisitor ' s TIE fighter , which Jarrus used to shoot the Rebels TIE fighter ' s pursuers . In the ensuing space battle , the rebels had to wait for Chopper to appear with the " Ghost " and , to their surprise , a small fleet . Docking the TIE fighters with Chopper ' s transport , Jarrus and the others made the jump into hyperspace , escaping the Mustafar system and the Imperial fleet . Once inside the transport , Jarrus proceeded to embrace Syndulla , and together with the rest of the crew , board the " Ghost " . Syndulla then revealed Bail Organa ' s identity and the existence of other Rebel cells , just before " Fulcrum " identified herself as Ahsoka Tano , a former Padawan of the Jedi Order , and mentioned a change of protocol thanks to their message . More adventures . After stealing food from an Imperial ship , Syndulla responded to a distress call and rescued Thrad Senator Nadea Tural and brought her aboard the " Ghost " to treat her injuries , much to Jarrus ' dismay . Nevertheless , Jarrus did provide some help when Syndulla tried to make the senator see the truth about the Imperial Senate ' s ineffectiveness , but before long , they were attacked by TIE fighters that took out the " Ghost " ’ s shields and hyperdrive . They were promptly boarded by Commander Earll ' s forces , who intended to retrieve Senator Tural ; they stunned Wren and Orrelios , and Earll herself took Bridger hostage . With no other option , Jarrus , Syndulla and Chopper surrendered , and Earll gave the order to execute them . Tural intervened and impeded Earll from executing them , giving Jarrus time to Force push the stormtroopers around them , knocking them out . While Chopper fixed the hyperdrive and Syndulla prepared to make the jump to lightspeed , Jarrus and Bridger cleared the ship from troopers . The " Ghost " escaped then and they managed to drop the Senator off at Camson . The rebellion . Siege of Lothal . Following the events over Mustafar , the " Ghost " crew joined the Phoenix Cell under Commander Jun Sato , which frequently raided Imperial shipping . However , due to his experiences with the Clone Wars and the Jedi Purge , Jarrus remained apprehensive and disdainful about their involvement with military ; following a mission , he even allowed Chopper to relay a message to the " Phoenix Home " from the defecting Minister Tua , who offered Imperial secrets in exchange of passage off Lothal . Following some discussion , they agreed to rescue Tua . As he left the bridge , Syndulla confronted Jarrus about his breach of protocol earlier , but Jarrus expressed his concern with their involvement in a military operation and suggested that the crew leave the rebellion . Afterwards , the " Ghost " crew traveled to Lothal in a Star Commuter 2000 to avoid detection and headed to rescue her before she boarded the " Sentinel " - class landing craft that would take her to Grand Moff Tarkin . While Chopper and Orrelios stayed with the commuter , which served as their get - away transport , Jarrus accosted a stormtrooper commander , stole his armor and infiltrated the Imperials , whereas Syndulla , Bridger and Wren hid to provide covering fire from the surroundings rooftops . As planned , Tua arrived in a landspeeder , but the " Ghost " crew was forced to a skirmish , during which they succeeded in freeing Minister Tua , who entered the " Sentinel " - class shuttle . However , as arranged by Kallus , the shuttle exploded , causing Tua ' s death , to be used against the rebels . With the failure of their mission ( and their commuter being disabled by an AT - DP walker ) , the " Ghost " crew was forced to retreat into hiding in Bridger ' s former residence . When it was attacked by stormtroopers , they decided to go to the Imperial Complex where they deduced Imperial forces were stretched thin due to the manhunt . Jarrus and Bridger , using his disguise as Imperials , transported the other four on crates and infiltrated the Imperial Armory Complex . Before they could make their escape , Darth Vader and his forces attacked them , and Jarrus and Bridger were forced to duel him . The Sith Lord proved more than a match for the two and the rebels barely managed to escape the complex in the stolen shuttle ( one which , unbeknownst to them had a tracking device implanted , per Vader ' s orders ) . Unable to leave Lothal with the shuttle alone , they contacted Calrissian for help , and he agreed to help them in exchange of three of their stolen 49 - v99 Deflector s . When they reached his estate so that Calrissian ' s droid W1 - LE could help them , Bridger and Jarrus visited Tarkintown , which had been burned and its settlers imprisoned on Vader ' s orders . When they returned , they found that Wren had programmed several masking transponder s to replicate their stolen shuttle ' s signal and to pass through the blockade safely ( a journey during which the crew decided to support the wider rebellion ) and rendezvous with the Phoenix rebel fleet . However , Vader alone attacked with his TIE Advanced x1 , causing extensive damage to Phoenix Squadron and the " Phoenix Home " , forcing Sato to abandon the ship . During the space battle , Tano — who accompanied the " Ghost " on its attack against Vader — sensed Vader ' s strength in the Force and asked Jarrus to help her in probing their opponent , but she passed out when she realized it could be her old master , Anakin Skywalker . With the fleet defeated , the " Ghost " made the jump into hyperspace and escaped , to use the planet Garel as its new base of operations . Seelos . When the Phoenix cell faced a shortage of bases and facilities , Tano suggested that they find an old friend who could have knowledge of abandoned bases left from the Clone Wars , a mission the " Ghost " crew accepted . Aboard their ship , they arrived in the Seelos system ; while Syndulla and Chopper stayed behind to repair the freighter , while Jarrus and the others flew down on the " Phantom " to Seelos , where they spotted an antiquated AT - TE walker and approached it , from where they were greeted by three veteran Clone Commander s — Rex , Wolffe and Gregor . While Bridger told Rex that they had been sent by Tano , he was reluctant to join the fight against the Empire , but agreed to put together a list of coordinates of bases and facilities for the rebellion . Meanwhile , Gregor convinced the " Ghost " team to help in a joopa hunt . Before they did so , Bridger told him he thought they could trust the clones , but Jarrus told him of Order 66 ; however , Rex intervened and countered he and his fellow clones had removed their inhibitor chips and disobeyed the order . Afterwards , even though they captured " Big Bongo " as a team effort , Jarrus was still uncomfortable and contacted Syndulla to discuss his concerns ; she encouraged him to give the clones a second chance , pointing out that they had saved millions of lives , including her own . However , Wren discovered that Wolffe had secretly alerted the Empire to their presence and hidden Tano ' s messages ; when confronted , Wolffe admitted his wrongdoing and asserted that he had wanted to protect his fellow clones from the Empire . With the Imperials approaching , Jarrus ordered Wren to contact Syndulla to scan for incoming Imperial vessels . An Imperial probe droid also damaged the " Phantom " before being destroyed by Rex . After Wren repaired the " Phantom " , and they had destroyed a TIE fighter during the Imperial assault , Jarrus and the others made preparations to leave , as Rex had supplied Bridger with the datachip he had promised them . However , three Imperial All Terrain Armored Transport s led by Kallus threatened to shoot them down if the " Phantom " took flight and so , Rex directed their AT - TE into the approaching sandstorm — believing a Jedi would still able to see through it with the Force . Guided by Jarrus , the clones outmaneuvered the Imperial walkers , while Bridger managed to destroy one of them by shooting at his weak point , the neck , giving them an opening to escape Kallus and the sandstorm . Jarrus and his team then escaped , but Bridger convinced Jarrus to help the clones against the Imperials . While Wren handled the controls of the " Phantom " , Jarrus , Bridger , and Orrelios hijacked one of the AT - AT walkers and used it to immobilize Kallus ' s walker before it could deliver a final blow against the crippled AT - TE walker . After Kallus and the surviving Imperials fled , the three Commanders saluted the Jedi for saving them , whereas Rex agreed to join the rebellion and to accompany the rebels back to the Phoenix fleet ( while Wolffe and Gregor stayed on Seelos and made the AT - AT their new home ) . Phoenix fleet . During a mission to steal intel on Sienar Fleet Systems ' new bombs and updates to their most recent TIE prototypes , Jarrus and Orrelios traveled to the planet Absanz and infiltrated one of the company ' s factories . In the dark , they made their way through a hangar when Dron Ryall appeared and told them that security would arrive shortly , but Jarrus and Orrelios forced Ryall to accompany them . However , despite Syndulla ' s disagreement , they attempted to continue with the kidnapping . As they were attacked , Ryall attempted to escape , prompting Orrelios to grab him once again , while Jarrus cleared the path to an Imperial shuttle . Manning the controls , he took off , with Orrelios and Ryall barely making it to the boarding ramp , until a " Gozanti " cruiser attacked . In the ensuing attack , Orrelios was forced to let go of Ryall and had to return to the " Ghost " . However , Rex ' s presence would be the cause of many arguments between him and Jarrus , eventually becoming so frequent that the others would try to avoid the two when they happened . One such was when Jarrus attempted to give Bridger a lesson on how to levitate objects by using Chopper , but the astromech and Wren had decided to play a prank on Bridger by locking Chopper ' s feet to the " Ghost " ’ s metallic floor . The prank prompted the two to argue about discipline — for which Bridger sneaked with Wren , Chopper , and Orrelios on a mission — and to play a game of dejarik that Jarrus won just before they arrived and informed him about the two new Inquisitors sent to hunt them : the Seventh Sister and the Fifth Brother . On another occasion , Jarrus got into another argument with Captain Rex after Bridger had skipped a Jedi lesson to attend one of the Rex ' s blaster practice . When Jarrus and Rex began to argue about Bridger being a soldier or a Jedi , an exasperated Bridger then responded that he might not wish to be either , much to Jarrus ' surprise . Before they could continue the conversation , Jarrus and the rest of the crew ( except for Bridger and Chopper ) participated in a mission to obtain fuel cells for the people of Rinn , who were experiencing an energy crisis . Later on , Jarrus met Hondo Ohnaka , after he had an adventure with Bridger , who told him he wasn ' t like Ohnaka anymore . Ibaar . When a mission to bring relief supplies to Ibaar , blockaded by an Imperial fleet commanded by Kallus , ended up on loss of a CR90 corvette and Phoenix Leader , Rex suggested that they contact with an Mon Calamari engineer , Quarrie , who lived on Shantipole and had developed a prototype blockade buster . During the conference , Jarrus volunteered Syndulla against her will for the mission . While Syndulla was gone with the " Phantom " , Jarrus would pick up the last of the supplies with the " Ghost " , but when she was delayed , Jarrus decided to pilot the freighter himself in the second attempt to break the Imperial blockade at Ibaar . Helming the " Ghost " , Jarrus and the rest of the Phoenix fleet converged on Ibaar , where they were quickly joined by the " Phantom " , which carried the Prototype B6 to be piloted by Syndulla on its underside . Using the Blade Wing ' s composite - beam laser , Syndulla destroyed an " Arquitens " - class light cruiser . This enabled Jarrus to pilot the " Ghost " through the opening in the Imperial blockade and drop the supplies down to the Ibaarians . Following the successful relief of Ibaar , Syndulla was promoted as the new Phoenix Leader by Sato , at the recommendation of Jarrus . Interdictor infiltration . Following Bridger and Sato ' s capture by the Imperial Interdictor in the Del Zennis system , the " Ghost " received Sato ' s distress call ; Syndulla then decided that Jarrus and Captain Rex infiltrate the Interdictor disguised as stormtroopers , with Chopper as company , while she and Phoenix Squadron would wait for their signal to help their escape . Aboard the stolen Shuttle S257 , Rex used emergency protocols ( much to Jarrus ' annoyance ) to trick the Interdictor ' s crew into letting their shuttle board , whereas Jarrus used a mind trick to let them further into the ship . When Chopper learned that Bridger was being transferred to a secure cell , Jarrus and Rex raced to his encounter . When they arrived , Bridger mistook them for Stormtroopers and shot at them with his lightsaber , stun ning Jarrus and Rex . When the two recovered , they broke into an argument over how to proceed with their mission , and an exasperated Bridger departed with Chopper to sabotage the ship ' s gravity well projector s . Jarrus and Rex , in turn , made it to the detention cell where Commander Sato and his crew were being held . While Rex held off their pursuers , Jarrus entered the cell and freed their comrades , and made their way to Sato ' s CR90 corvette " Liberator " . However , they were cornered by more stormtroopers . Despite Jarrus ' s opposition , Rex decided to hold back the Imperials while Jarrus and the other rebels escaped , and Rex was taken prisoner . Sensing Rex ' s distress , Jarrus realized he thought of the clone as a friend and instructed Bridger and Chopper to head back to the corvette while he went back and rescued Rex . Using his disguise , Jarrus infiltrated the Interdictor ' s command bridge and intervened in Rex ' s torture by Admiral Brom Titus . As Titus escaped , Jarrus and Rex fled the Interdictor aboard an escape pod and linked it to Sato ' s corvette . Before long , the Imperial Interdictor ' s gravity well projectors began to malfunction due to Chopper ' s sabotage and began pull everything towards itself , including its two escort " Arquitens " - class command cruisers . When the Imperial Interdictor and its escorts were destroyed in the ensuing explosion , the rebels managed to escape , and as a result of their joint mission , Jarrus had a newfound respect for Rex , who thanked the Jedi for rescuing him . Takobo . Following the kidnapping of Alora over Chandel by the Fifth Brother and the Seventh Sister , Jarrus accepted a mission from Tano to help her investigate two sets of coordinates , saying they needed to obtain whatever the Inquisitors were after before them , and advising him to take Bridger and Orrelios . The three , plus Chopper , traveled on the " Phantom " to Takobo ; there , their coordinates led them to a housing unit in the settlement of Hammertown . And , while Orrelios and Chopper scanned the spaceport for any sign of the Inquisitors , the master and Padawan traveled to the housing unit , where they an an Ithorian mother named Oora , whose home had been ransacked by the Inquisitors . Jarrus and Bridger promised Oora , who had sent her infant son Pypey away with a decoy droid , that they would find Pypey before the Inquisitors ; he also informed Orrelios of their discovery , and Jarrus was in turn told of the other baby , Alora , and that they had discovered and sabotaged the Inquisitors ' TIEs . Then , Jarrus instructed Orrelios to pick Pypey up while Chopper took care of Alora . When the Lasat found Pypey and was cornered by the Inquisitors , Jarrus and Bridger traveled to the apartment complex where Orrelios was hiding and met with him . However , Pypey began to cry after sensing Bridger ' s fear , and the Inquisitors quickly located them and stabbed their lightsabers through their room ' s floor and door . Eluding the Inquisitors , the rebels decided to split up — while Bridger would head into a ventilation shaft with Pypey , Jarrus and Orrelios would hold off the two Inquisitors . When they detected and almost killed Bridger , Jarrus and Orrelios intervened and took on the Seventh Sister and the Fifth Brother respectively , but were quickly bested by them . Left with no other choice , they escaped by jumping out of a window and landing on a speeder by chance , but were promptly followed by the inquisitors who commandeered another speeder . During the chase , Jarrus disabled their ship , but their too was taken down by the Brother ' s lightsaber . Forced to flee on foot , Jarrus and Orrelios met with Bridger outside the spaceport and , unable to open the gates , they had to face the Inquisitors once again . The Jedi hunters quickly overpowered them , but before they could take the baby , Tano appeared and dueled them ; under her orders , Jarrus and the other fled aboard the " Phantom " with Pypey . Tano managed to defeat them , but she was forced to flee when Imperial reinforcements arrived at the airport . While in hyperspace , they reunited Pypey with his mother , Oora . Tano also revealed to Jarrus that a a similar attempt to abduct Force - sensitive children had occurred during the Clone Wars . Yet , unbeknownst to them , Bridger had been recorded mentioning their current location on Garel by one of the Seventh Sister ' s ID9 seeker droid s . Return to Lothal . During a discussion to find a viable base for the rebellion , Jarrus and Syndulla were interrupted by Bridger , who had received a vision of his parents Ephraim and Mira Bridger . Seeing his apprehension , the two disclosed what Tseebo had shared about the fate of the Bridgers — they had been imprisoned within a network of Imperial prisons scattered throughout the galaxy but the rebels were unable to determine which one . Thanks to Commander Sato , they received word that there had been a mass breakout from an Imperial prison on Lothal , and provided a list of prisoners . Jarrus instructed Bridger to locate the truth on the list , and Bridger let the Force single out " Prisoner X - 10 " . Jarrus then offered to accompany him to Lothal . Shortly later , Imperial forces launched an attack on the Phoenix rebel presence on Garel , prompting Jarrus and Bridger to help Orrelios and Chopper escape a squad of stormtroopers under Kallus ' command . However , when the Seventh Sister and the Fifth Brother arrived and goaded Bridger into a fight , Jarrus shot the blast door s close and reminded his apprentice that they had to focus on their mission to get to Lothal . Once the " Ghost " had departed to save Sato ' s command ship " Liberator " , Jarrus , Bridger and Chopper departed on the " Phantom " for Lothal . They managed to find a gap in the Imperial fleet and jumped into hyperspace . Upon their arrival at Lothal , the master - Padawan pair landed in Capital City and visited the latter ' s former home , which had been razed to the ground by the Empire . Jarrus then advised Bridger to follow the Force , for which they encountered a white loth - cat that led them to the wilderness . Eventually , they found the loth - cat and a speeder bike , as well as a hooded figure that fired at them . After Bridger managed to placate the stranger by revealing that he was the son of Ephraim and Mira , " Prisoner X - 10 " identified himself as Ryder Azadi . He explained that the Bridgers had been killed during the escape attempt and Bridger told him that he had another vision of his parents , Jarrus taught his Padawan that the Jedi believed that life did not end with death but merely changed form . To comfort Bridger , he told him that his parents would always be with him . Giving Bridger some time off , Jarrus contacted Syndulla and told her what had happed ; in turn , she informed him that Bail Organa had sent reinforcements — three " Sphyrna " - class corvettes for the fleet . Before leaving , Jarrus tried to convince Azadi to fight the Empire , but when Azadi refused , Jarrus continued with their assignment . They left Chopper behind with the " Phantom " to meet with the Alderaanian delegation at the depot near Jalath . Upon the cruisers ' landing , Jarrus and Bridger ( disguised again as a stormtrooper and cadet , respectively ) received Organa ' s delegate and daughter , Prince ss Leia Organa , whom they escorted and who intended for the Spectres to steal her ships . As Organa spoke to Lieutenant Yogar Lyste , and saw that gravity lock were clamped to the relief cruisers to prevent the robbery by Rebel forces , Organa , Jarrus and Bridger used Lyste ' s shuttle to leave the depot . Chopper then informed that stormtroopers had found him and Azadi , for which Jarrus decided to intervene and save Azadi from execution . So did the " Ghost " , prompting Jarrus to make it look as if the rebels were taking the princess , himself and the cadet prisoners . When they escaped aboard the " Ghost " , Jarrus advised Organa ( who found herself in a similar position of responsibility as Bridger ) to talk with him . Afterwards , when they formulated a plan to recover the cruisers , Jarrus and Bridger escorted Organa to the depot to distract Lyste while Azadi , Wren and Chopper unlocked the gravity locks and took control of P1 , and Syndulla provided air support . However , when the walkers proved resilient to the " Ghost " ’ s armament , Jarrus ordered Bridger to secure P2 while he handled the walker . Jarrus then charged at the tank , ignited his lightsaber and leapt , slicing the walker ' s left legs . As it fell , he took off in the second cruiser , P3 , while Azadi escaped in P2 and Bridger boarded P1 ( piloted by Wren ) . With the ships secure , they met with the Phoenix fleet . Trouble at Concord Dawn . With the Empire continuing to hunt down the fledgling rebellion in the Outer Rim , Kanan and several other rebels including Hera , Sabine , Rex , and Commander Sato attended a meeting to discuss opening a new hyperspace route to the Lothal sector . During the meeting , Sabine suggested the Concord Dawn system , which was home to a Mandalorian colony known as the Journeyman Protector s . While Commander Sato advocated sending a military force to deal with the Mandalorians , Kanan and Hera suggested negotiating for safe passage with the Protectors . Despite his reservations , Sato consented to Hera ' s diplomatic approach . Ultimately , Hera ' s diplomatic mission to the Protectors failed since their leader Fenn Rau had aligned his warriors with the Empire . Several RZ - 1 A - wing interceptor s were destroyed during a dogfight above Concord Dawn . Hera survived but was seriously wounded during the dogfight . Kanan comforted Sabine who blamed herself for Hera ' s injuries . At a later briefing , Kanan and the other crew of the " Ghost " including Ezra , Zeb , and Chopper were present when Sabine recommended a retaliatory military action against the Protectors . Sabine had managed to track down the Protectors ' Fang fighter s to a base on the third moon of Concord Dawn . Kanan suggested infiltrating the base and destroying the starfighters . While Commander Sato approved the mission , Kanan insisted on going solo since he did not want to risk the lives of his crew . Instead , he asked Chopper to come along . Kanan and Chopper traveled to the Concord Dawn system in the " Phantom " , the " Ghost " auxiliary ship . Upon arriving in the Concord Dawn system , the two discovered that Sabine had stowed aboard , intent on seeking revenge against Fenn Rau . As they approached the third moon , Kanan informed Sabine that he still wanted to negotiate with the Protectors . Upon approaching the moon , Chopper dropped them off near the Protectors camp before flying the " Phantom " away from the base . While performing reconnaissance on the outskirts of the camp , Jarrus and Wren discovered that the base housed eight fighters in total , including the ones that attacked Phoenix Squadron . Kanan allowed Sabine to plant explosives on each of them but ordered her to only activate them if diplomacy failed . Shortly later , Kanan and Sabine witnessed the arrival of an Imperial landing ship carrying supplies for the Protectors . The two rebels also saw Rau conversing with an Imperial officer and informing him of his encounter with the rebels . Having realized that the Protectors were working for the Empire , Sabine expressed doubts about the success of Kanan ' s plans . Nonetheless , they proceeded with Kanan ' s plan to seek diplomacy and only use hostilities as a last resort . While Sabine began planting her explosives , Kanan made his way into Rau ' s personal quarters and introduced himself to the Protectors ' leader . In an attempt to win the Clone Wars veteran over , Kanan introduced himself as a Jedi and explained that he too had fought in the Third Battle of Mygeeto , where he and his master , Depa Billaba , were saved by Rau and Skull Squadron from a Separatist attack . While Rau recalled the battle , he still demanded to know why Kanan was infiltrating his base . Kanan then asked the Mandalorian warrior to join the rebellion but Rau was unwilling to fight against the Empire . In Rau ' s view , the rebellion had no chance of victory and thus he saw no reason to join a losing side . Despite Kanan ' s arguments , Rau refused to commit to fighting what he regarded as another losing war with the Jedi . Kanan ' s conversation with Rau was interrupted when several Protectors entered the room , reporting that they had captured Sabine and that she had invoked the Mandalorian code to seek justice through combat . Rau accepted Sabine ' s challenge since her clan was part of House Vizsla , which had sided with the Death Watch ; the adversaries of the Protectors during the Clone Wars . Kanan disagreed with Sabine ' s plan and tried unsuccessfully to convince her to stand down . Sabine responded by telling the Jedi to trust her . During the duel , Sabine shot Rau ' s blaster pistol out of his had and triggered her explosives , destroying seven of the eight Fang fighters . However , Rau ' s fighter remained intact and he took it into space to attack the rebel fleet . Using his Force powers , Kanan jumped onto the Fang fighter and managed to hang on to it despite Rau ' s best efforts to shake him off . Using his lightsaber , Kanan was able to damaged Rau ' s starfighter and breach the Mandalorian warrior ' s cockpit . After knocking Rau out , he grabbed the Mandalorian and jumped into the rear entrance of the " Phantom " , where he was joined by Chopper and Sabine . Having completed their mission to destroy the Protectors ' starfighters , the three rebels traveled back on the " Phantom " to rejoin the Phoenix fleet . While traveling back to the rebel fleet , Rau stirred . Kanan then ordered his captive to contact the Protectors and order them to stand down and to keep his capture a secret from the Empire . Rau also granted the rebels safe passage through the Concord Dawn system . The rebels returned to the fleet with Rau in tow where he was taken into custody . Following their mission , Kanan and Sabine visited Hera , who was pleased with its outcome . Journey to Lira San . Kanan and the other crew of the " Ghost " accompanied Ezra to Nixus Hub 218 . Ezra had received a tip about two refugees from his former " business partner " Hondo Ohnaka . After arriving in the spaceport , they discovered that the two refugees were Lasat . Imperial troops had also been alerted to their arrival and arrested the refugees . Kanan and his rebel companions quickly intervened to save the Lasat prisoners . During the ensuing melee , Kanan shot one stormtrooper and then held pointed his blaster at the commanding officer . Ezra then knocked out the officer by stunning him with his lightsaber . The rebels discovered that the two Lasat refugees were the former Lasan High Honor Guard sman Gron and the mystic Chava the Wise , who had survived the Fall of Lasan . Both of them recognized Zeb as a former Captain in the Lasan Honor Guard ; something which he had withheld from the other rebels . They were searching for the legendary world of Lira San , which was purported to be a safe refuge for the Lasat . After freeing Gron and Chava , Kanan and his companions made their way back to the " Ghost " hangar bay but were pursued by stormtrooper reinforcements . During the ensuing blaster battle , Kanan and Hera exchanged fire with the stormtroopers . The rebels managed to make their way back to the " Ghost " with the help of Hondo , who sealed several exits which prevented the stormtroopers from apprehending them . The " Ghost " then escaped Nixus and fled into hyperspace . While traveling through space , Chava and Gron began a Lasat ritual designed to reveal Lira San ' s location since the planet was considered uncharted . Chava believed that Lira San would only be revealed after the " child of Lasan " had saved the " warrior " and the " fool . " Kanan and Chopper watched as the ceremony unfolded while Ezra took part . Disbelieving the prophecy and feeling guilt about his failure to stop the Fall of Lasan , Zeb temporarily withdrew but was persuaded to return by Ezra ; who convinced him that he had a second chance to save his people . After Zeb and Ezra returned , Kanan and the other crew of the " Ghost " including Hera and Sabine watched the ceremony ' s proceedings . While Chopper activated a holographic map of the galaxy , Zeb activated his bo - rifle while Chava ignited her staff . This created an electrical reaction that pointed Lira San ' s location to a set of coordinates in Wild Space , a region beyond the Outer Rim Territories . The rebels then traveled to Lira San ' s coordinates but discovered their path blocked by an imploded star cluster . Their problems were further compounded when Agent Kallus ' Imperial light cruiser caught up with them . Kallus issued an ultimatum that the rebels had one minute to surrender before he destroyed the " Ghost " . Fulfilling the ancient Lasat prophecy , Zeb used his bo - rifle to guide the " Ghost " through the maelstrom into the star cluster ; a feat that was considered suicidal and dangerous . The Imperial light cruiser attempted to follow the rebels but was forced back by the gravitational pull of the star cluster . Believing that the rebels were doomed , Kallus ordered a full retreat . Kanan and Ezra supported Zeb by holding their hands on his back and arms as he guided the " Ghost " through the maelstrom . Shortly later , the ship ' s hyperdrive kicked in and the " Ghost " jumped into hyperspace . Kanan and the other rebels were knocked out by the bright blast of the star cluster . Upon awakening , Kanan and his companions found themselves in unknown space and sighted Lira San in the horizon . Kanan and the other rebels stayed aboard the " Ghost " while Zeb , Gron , and Chava traveled down to Lira San in the " Phantom " . When Zeb returned , Kanan and the other rebels learned that Lira San was the original homeworld of the Lasat species and that it was already home to millions of Lasat . While Gron and Chava had decided to settle on their new homeworld , Zeb returned to his rebel comrades and vowed to bring more Lasat to Lira San . Having discovered a safe route through the star cluster , the crew of the " Ghost " then returned into the known galaxy . Raid on the Asteroid Belt Gas Refinery . Later , Kanan and his fellow rebels took part in a raid on a Mining Guild Asteroid Belt Gas Refinery to obtain fuel supplies for the " Ghost " and the Phoenix rebels . On the way , the " Ghost " ran into a herd of purrgil . While Hera wanted to fire on the purrgil , Kanan urged caution while Ezra counselled them to fly the ship in the direction that the purrgil were traveling in . This had the effect of calming the purrgil . Later , Kanan and his fellow rebels came to the aid of the purrgil when two Mining Guild TIE fighter s strafed the herd . Kanan managed to shoot down the first fighter while his apprentice Ezra shot down the second . As the " Ghost " approached the gas refinery , Kanan and his fellow rebels realized that the purrgil were traveling to the same destination . They landed on an asteroid overlooking the Mining Guild refinery . Kanan attended a cockpit briefing where Hera and Sabine outlined their plans to steal several Clouzon - 36 canisters from the refinery and destroy the facility in order to deny the Empire access to it . As part of the raid , Kanan along with Ezra , Sabine , and Chopper would jump from the " Ghost " into the facility . Prior to the jump , Kanan and the other sentients donned helmets . For this mission , Kanan wore a stormtrooper helmet which had been painted over by Sabine . While Kanan and the other rebels successfully landed on the bridge , Ezra miscalculated his jump and plummeted into the gassy atmosphere in the planetoid below . However , Kanan used the Force to lift Ezra out . Shortly later , they were attacked by several Rodian Mining Guild guards . Under Kanan ' s orders , Sabine activated the detonators but Ezra convinced her not to do it because the purrgil depended on the gas to survive . Changing their plans , Kanan ordered Ezra to man one of the gun emplacements while the other rebels secured the landing zone for the " Ghost " to land . After the " Ghost " landed on the landing zone , Kanan and his companions did their best to hold back the Mining Guild Boss Yushyn and his security forces . While the other rebels loaded the fuel canisters onto the " Ghost " , Kanan leapt on top of the ship and used his lightsaber to deflect laser blasts . Shortly later , Ezra was knocked into the abyss below by laser fire . By that stage , Yushyn had managed to surround the rebels with cannons and more guards . Kanan himself was cornered by two more Mining Guild TIE fighters . Yushyn then demanded that the rebels , whom he denounced as thieves , surrender . Fortunately for Kanan and his companions , they were relieved by Ezra and the purrgil herd . Ezra had managed to make contact with the Purrgil King and convinced them to work together to defeat the Mining Guild . The purrgil quickly overwhelmed the Mining Guild forces , allowing Kanan and his rebel companions to finish refueling the " Ghost " and to flee offworld with the stolen canisters . Before leaving , the " Ghost " destroyed the gas refinery , causing it to collapse into the planetoid below . Later in space , Kanan and the other rebels reunited with Ezra , who revealed that the purrgil depended on the gas as nourishment and to travel through hyperspace . The rebels then followed the purrgil on their journey through hyperspace . Mission to Ryloth . Following a raid that ended with the death of the starfighter pilot Phoenix Two , Kanan and Hera contacted Commander Jun Sato . With the rebels losing starfighters and pilots to the Empire at a faster rate than they could replace , Sato advised the rebels to steal an Imperial fighter carrier seen orbiting above Ryloth . Realizing that they needed help , Hera contacted Cham Syndulla , Syndulla ' s estranged father and the leader of the Ryloth rebels . Cham agreed to help the Spectres and rendezvoused with the " Ghost " in deep space . Prior to the meeting , Kanan was tense about meeting his lover ' s father and took it out on Ezra . When Cham and his companions Numa and Gobi Glie entered the " Ghost " , Kanan introduced his rebel companions except Chopper . Cham was impressed by the crew of the " Ghost " , whom he described as a " fine band " of rebels . Kanan was present when Hera briefed the two rebel cells about her plan to use a stolen TIE / sa bomber to infiltrate and hijack the Imperial fighter carrier . However , Cham disagreed with her plan and advocated destroying the ship to demonstrate the Ryloth rebels ' strength . In response , Kanan backed up Hera by telling Cham that they needed to put aside their differences and work together to achieve a win - win situation for all . Cham reluctantly agreed to the plan and the two rebel cells departed on Cham ' s " Nu " - class attack shuttle . During the journey , Cham regaled Kanan and his fellow rebels with stories about his exploits during the Clone Wars and the Battle of Lessu . Cham ' s companions Numa and Gobie also befriended the rebels and Kanan seemed taken in by Cham . However , Hera warned him that her father could not be fully trusted . Upon exiting hyperspace , the rebels put their plans into action and departed on their stolen TIE bomber for the fighter - carrier . To get aboard the ship , Hera arranged for two rebel A - wing starfighters to attack their bomber . This fooled the Imperial crew into believing that they were Imperials who had come under attack from rebel forces . Kanan and the rebels managed to land in one of the fighter carrier ' s hangar bay . However , Cham and his companions then turned on the Spectres and stunned them . After knocking out Kanan and his companions , the three Ryloth rebels proceeded with their original plan to blow up the fighter - carrier with detonator s . When Kanan and his fellow rebels awoke , they realized that Cham had betrayed them . Kanan commented that he had been foolish to be taken in by Hera ' s father . While Zeb and Sabine made their way to the munitions racket to stop Numa and Gobi , Kanan and the other three rebels made their way to the command bridge . After fighting through stormtroopers and dodging blast doors , the four rebels entered the command bridge . There , Ezra used a Jedi mind trick to force the Imperial commander to order a general evacuation of his ship . Shortly later , Kanan and his comrades encountered Cham , who had already sabotaged the ship ' s hyperdrive . However , Zeb and Sabine had managed to knock out and capture his companions Numa and Gobi . Following a lengthy argument , Hera managed to win over her father and convince Cham to help them steal the fighter carrier . Putting aside their differences , the two rebel cells rebuffed an attempt by Imperial reinforcements to retake the fighter carrier . After Chopper repaired the hyperdrive and the rebels managed to destroy an Imperial light cruiser , Kanan and the other rebels were able to escape with the stolen fighter carrier into hyperspace . Later , Kanan was present with the other crew when they bid farewell to Cham and his companions . By that time , Hera and Cham had reconciled and come to respect each other . Mission to Oliu . Sometime later , Jarrus , Wren , Bridger , Orrelios , Kitwarr , and Wullffwarro went on a mission to the planet Oliu . Mission to Geonosis . After rebel intelligence discovered that the Empire was building something above the planet Geonosis , Kanan and his fellow rebels undertook a mission to acquire any information they could find aboard an Imperial construction module . While Hera , Rex , and Chopper stayed aboard the " Ghost " , Kanan along with Ezra , Zeb , and Sabine ventured into the structure . Shortly later , they discovered that they had stumbled into a trap set by the Imperial Security Bureau Agent Kallus , a perennial foe of the Spectres . Following a struggle , Kanan and his rebel comrades with the exception of Zeb managed to flee aboard the " Ghost " and flee into space . Meanwhile , Zeb and his pursuer Kallus ended up in an escape pod which landed on the icy moon of Bahryn . There , the two nominal adversaries struck an unlikely friendship in order to survive the cold and several bonzami predators . Back in space , Kanan and his fellow rebels were pursued by several TIE fighters . In an attempt to shake off the Imperials , Hera flew the " Ghost " through an Imperial construction module . Kanan then used one of the ship ' s turret cannons to shoot down a TIE fighter , causing it to collide with an AT - DP walker . After failing to locate Zeb ' s trajectory , Kanan and Ezra took the " Phantom " for a sweep of the planet Geonosis but were unable to pick up Zeb ' s transponder . The following day , Zeb managed to repair his transponder and the crew of the " Ghost " were able to home in on his location on Bahryn . Kanan and his fellow rebels greeted the Lasat on the " Ghost " gangplank before returning to space . Return to Lothal ' s temple . While searching for a suitable planet to house the rebellion ' s base , Kanan and Ezra had another encounter with the Seventh Sister and Fifth Brother . After a brief duel , Kanan and Ezra escaped on a tibidee that Ezra was controlling through the Force and once the pair boarded the " Phantom " , they escaped into space with Chopper . Once in hyperspace , Kanan instructed Hera to rendezvous with them in deep space to avoid exposing the fleet to the Inquisitors . Upon returning to the " Ghost " , Kanan and Ezra decided to return to the temple on Lothal in order to seek out Master Yoda and find a way to defeat the Empire , due to their previous encounter with the Grand Master in the same location . The two Jedi arrived on Lothal in the " Phantom " accompanied by Ahsoka Tano , who was conducting her own investigation into the Sith Lord Darth Vader . While meditating in the temple , Kanan entered a vision in which he saw a Jedi Temple Guard known as the Sentinel within a dojo . The Sentinel warned Jarrus that Bridger would fall to the dark side of the Force and that the boy had to be eliminated . Grabbing another lightsaber off the wall , Jarrus refused and engaged him in a lightsaber duel , holding off the Sentinel and two other guards using Jar ' Kai . By the end of the duel , Jarrus refused to fight any further and admitted that while he may not be able to protect Bridger forever , he would continue to do his best to train him . The Sentinel looked as if he was about to strike Jarrus down , but instead knighted him and removed his mask to reveal the face of the Grand Inquisitor . Jarrus asked what everything that had happened meant , and the Sentinel said that it meant Jarrus was now a Jedi Knight , as he himself used to be . As the Seventh Sister and the Fifth Brother entered the temple , the Sentinel told Jarrus to flee and said he would hold off the enemy . Jarrus , Bridger , and Tano managed to escape the temple and return to the " Phantom " . Safe for the moment , Ezra revealed he had spoken to Yoda and that he had been told to find Malachor . Ahsoka explained that Malachor was not a person , as Ezra assumed , but a place . Heist at Horizon Base . With the Phoenix Squadron ' s former Imperial fighter carrier lacking sufficient fuel supplies to travel to the Yost system to set up a base , Kanan and his companions instead took part in a mission to steal fuel from the Imperial fuel depot at Horizon Base . Upon landing , Kanan and his fellow rebels headed to the fuel depot while Chopper stayed behind to guard the " Ghost " . As they approached the depot , the rebels found it heavily guarded . Kanan told his rebel companions to get the fuel " quietly with no complications . " Despite Kanan ' s warning , the rebel heist attracted the attention of Imperial forces , who chased them back to the " Ghost " . Despite making it back safely , they were forced to leave Chopper behind since the droid had become distracted by an droid leg on sale at a nearby stall . Kanan and his fellow rebels traveled back to the fleet only to find it under attack from Imperial forces under Admiral Kassius Konstantine , who gave orders that the " Ghost " not be allowed to reach the fighter carrier . Fortunately for Kanan and his team , Sabine ' s friend Ketsu Onyo used her starship " Shadow Caster " to shield the rebels from enemy fire . This allowed the rebels to unload refuel the fighter carrier . The rebels aborted their trip to the Yost system after receiving information from Chopper and the former Imperial inventory droid that the Empire had set a trap there . Instead , AP - 5 and Chopper relayed the coordinates for Atollon , a world lacking an Imperial presence . Kanan and the rest of the rebel fleet managed to flee there . After arriving above Atollon , Kanan and Hera checked the coordinates and found that the world was indeed devoid of any Imperial presence . The rebels were also rejoined by Chopper and AP - 5 , who had stolen an Imperial cargo ship . Kanan and the other rebels were present when Sabine repaired AP - 5 , who had been shot by an Imperial officer during the heist of the fighter carrier . Chopper sacrificed his stolen droid leg to provide Sabine with the necessary parts to repair AP - 5 . Kanan and the other rebels watched in shock and bemusement when AP - 5 chided Chopper for the " illogical act " of sacrificing his stolen droid leg . When Chopper responded with a string of expletives , AP - 5 replied in turn . Preparing for the journey . Following the discovery of Atollon , the Phoenix rebels established a base on the planet called Chopper Base . The crew of the " Ghost " assisted with the establishment of the base by ferrying supplies . During one such supply run , Kanan took the opportunity to have a lightsaber training session with Ezra . The lightsaber session ended in a draw with Ezra pointing his blade at Kanan ' s neck and Kanan pointing his blade at Ezra ' s chest . When Ezra remarked that they won by killing Inquisitors , Kanan replied that they won by surviving . Shortly later , Hera and Sabine arrived from the cockpit to watch the session . After a brief chat , the two Jedi continued their sparring session . After landing at Chopper Base , Kanan tried to make conversation with Hera but she was still upset about his and Ezra ' s plans to depart with Ahsoka for the planet Malachor . Later that day , Kanan managed to talk with Hera . While she was still uneasy about their travel plans , Kanan stressed that the Jedi had to visit Malachor in order for the rebellion to succeed . Kanan and the other Spectres subsequently responded to a distress call from Sabine and Rex , who had come under attack from several spider - like predators called krykna . Earlier , Sabine and Rex had visited the northern perimeter to search for Lieutenant Dicer , who had disappeared while planting a sensor beacon there . The rebels managed to save Sabine from the krykna but Rex was taken captive by the creatures . Kanan and his fellow rebels entered the krykna s underground lair to rescue their rebel comrade . Under Hera ' s orders , Kanan and Ezra split up from the main group and searched a different part of the tunnels . Hera wanted the other rebels to get use to working without their Jedi comrades . Shortly later , Kanan and Ezra encountered a krykna . After Ezra failed to establish a Force connection with the creature , Kanan slew the spidery creature with his lightsaber . When Ezra protested , Kanan chided his apprentice for his lack of common sense . Kanan and Ezra subsequently managed to reunite with their rebel comrades , who had freed Rex . Following a skirmish with the krykna , they managed to flee back to the " Ghost " . The rebels attempted to flee on the " Ghost " but the krykna spun a large web around the starship , preventing their escape . When the krykna tried to storm the ship , Kanan along with Ezra and Zeb used the ship ' s laser cannons to blaste the intruders . Kanan and Ezra later assisted Sabine ' s escape plan which involved recovering the sensor marker and slashing through the krykna ' s web . As part of the plan , Kanan and Ezra used their Force powers to hurl Sabine towards the sensor marker . While Sabine distracted the krykna with the sensor marker , Kanan and Ezra managed to free the ship from the krykna ' s web with their lightsabers . After escaping the krykna , Kanan supported Hera ' s call to maintain the rebel base on Atollon and came up with a plan to hold the krykna at bay by constructing a fence consisting of several sensor markers . The following day , Sabine told Kanan that Hera wanted to speak to him . She explained that Hera was supportive of their mission to Malachor but feared that she would never see him or Ezra again . When Kanan tried to reassured Hera , she told him that she preferred that they face their challenges together . Before leaving for Malachor , Kanan promised Hera that they would see each other again before hugging her . Mission to Malachor . Arriving on Malachor , Kanan , Ezra and Ahsoka explored the ruins surrounding a Sith temple beneath the planet ' s surface when they were attacked by the Eighth Brother . The fight caused Ezra to fall to another level of the ruins , and he told the others to pursue the Inquisitor , claiming he would find them . Kanan and Ahsoka pursued the Eighth Brother to his TIE fighter when Chopper , defying orders to stay at the " Phantom " , appeared and commandeered the vehicle , forcing him to surrender . The temple soon began to light up , and Kanan , deducing Ezra was responsible , escorted the handcuffed Inquisitor to the temple ' s entrance . There , the Seventh Sister and Fifth Brother attacked Kanan and freed their comrade . During the duel , Ezra emerged from the temple with none other than Darth Maul , the one whom the Eighth Brother had been hunting . Maul activated his double - bladed lightsaber and demonstrated his prowess against the Inquisitors , forcing them to retreat . Revealing they had recovered a Sith holocron , Ezra convinced Kanan and Ahsoka to trust Maul , who was no longer a Sith Lord and had a mutual enemy in the Empire . As they climbed the temple , Maul advised they split up to divide the Inquisitors ' attention , and Kanan reluctantly agreed Ezra go with Maul to help him ascend the pyramid . Kanan and Ahsoka fought the Fifth and Eighth Brothers , while Maul and Ezra engaged and killed the Seventh Sister . Maul descended and killed the Fifth Brother , while Kanan damaged the Eighth Brother ' s lightsaber , causing him to be killed when he attempted to use its rotor function to flee . Kanan asked where Ezra was , which prompted Maul to reply by burning out the Jedi ' s eyes with his lightsaber . As he dueled Ahsoka , Maul revealed he had sent Ezra up to activate the temple , which was actually a battle station that he would strike with at all his enemies . As Ezra unwittingly used the holocron to activate the temple ' s superweapon , Kanan found his dropped lightsaber and donned an ancient Jedi Temple Guard helmet , and ordered Ahsoka to leave and find Ezra . Relying on the Force and his other senses , the blind Jedi grabbed Maul ' s arm and threw him off the pyramid . Chopper came and helped Kanan reach the top of the pyramid , where Ahsoka was engaged in combat with Vader . He and Ezra used the Force to remove the holocron , causing the pyramid to seal itself . Vader tried to pull Ezra towards him , but Ahsoka struck at his helmet and pushed Kanan ' s apprentice into the " Phantom " . As Chopper flew the shuttle out , the temple ' s pyramid sealed itself and the superweapon overloaded and exploded . Kanan embraced Ezra , who mourned the loss of Ahsoka . When they returned to Atollon , Hera examined Kanan ' s eyes , now concealed by a white wrap , and hugged him . Encountering Bendu . While his apprentice Ezra and the other rebels attended a briefing on the upcoming mission to Reklam Station , Kanan went to meditate at the outskirts of Chopper Base . He then heard a voice crying out to him from the wilderness . Hera then came up from behind and told Kanan that she had expected to see him at the briefing . When Hera told Kanan that Ezra blamed himself for the events of the previous mission to Malachor , Kanan reassured her that he held no ill will towards Ezra . Later , Kanan entered Ezra ' s room aboard the " Ghost " and caught his apprentice dabbling with the Sith holocron he had obtained on Malachor . An argument broke out with Kanan chastising his apprentice for dabbling with the dark side . When Ezra insisted that he was using the Sith holocron for good , Kanan responded that acting out of anger led to the dark side . After Kanan confiscated the holocron , Ezra stormed out the room but not before telling him that he did not need him or the holocron . After Ezra and his team had left , Kanan was led into the wilderness by the voice . He soon discovered that the voice belonged to a mysterious Force wielder called Bendu , who characterized himself as standing in the middle of the Ashla and the Bogan , the light side and the dark side . After identifying himself as a Jedi Knight , Kanan confided his fears that his apprentice was turning to the dark side . After Kanan showed him the Sith holocron , Bendu explained that an object could be used for both good and evil but that the person had the power to choose for themselves . Bendu then took an interest in Kanan ' s sensor beacon and destroyed the machine . When Kanan protested , Bendu explained that he would never regain his sight but that he could teach him to use his other senses . Bendu then instructed Kanan to empty his mind and to turn around and walk forwards . Kanan was soon surrounded by two krykna , who did not attack him . When Kanan confided that his first encounter with the creatures had been influenced by their smell , the Bendu counseled him that he was not looking at the krykna for what they were . Kanan began making peace with the krykna but he then sensed that Ezra was in danger and ignited his lightsaber , startling the creatures . At that point , Kanan realized that the krykna had been hostile because they had been feeding of his fears and anxieties . When Kanan concluded that he had isolated himself from everyone and the Force , Bendu told him that he had regained his connection to the Force . Before leaving , Kanan left the Sith holocron with Bendu as a gift . Kanan later joined with Hera in the " Ghost " . Together , they traveled to Reklem Station where they rescued Ezra from falling into the depths of the gassy planet of Yarma . After evacuating the rest of the team and the stolen Y - wings , Kanan and the Spectres returned to Chopper Base . Following the debriefing , Ezra apologized to his master for using the Sith holocron . When Ezra asked Kanan what he did with it , the older Jedi told him that it was in safe hands but did not mention the Bendu . When Ezra thanked his master for saving him , Kanan replied that he would always come back and the two reconciled . The two holocrons . While traveling with Ezra on a Phoenix rebel corvette , Kanan and his apprentice debated the merit she of using the Sith holocron and the recent events on Malachor . Upon exiting hyperspace , the rebels discovered one of their Hammerhead corvettes . After receiving no response , Ezra and Kanan boarded the ship . They quickly discovered that the ship had been attacked by a red blade ; whom they initially assumed was another Inquisitor . One of the surviving crew informed the Jedi that the " Ghost " was in danger . Kanan and Ezra made contact with the " Ghost " only to discover that Hera , Chopper , Zeb , and Sabine had been taken prisoner by Maul and his repurposed tour guide droid s . Maul demanded that the two Jedi hand over the Sith holocron and Kanan ' s Jedi holocron . If they refused , he threatened to kill their friends . Kanan expressed annoyance that his apprentice had told Maul about his Jedi holocron during his earlier encounter on Malachor . When Ezra asked him about the Jedi holocron , Kanan explained that the holocron was safe but that retrieving it would not be straight forward . Kanan and Ezra returned to Atollon and traveled on a speeder bike to the lair of Bendu . The two did not find Bendu but found themselves surrounded by several krykna . Despite Kanan ' s attempts to calm Ezra , the apprentice ignited his green lightsaber . Before further trouble could arise , Bendu intervened and startled the krykna . When Bendu asked why they had come , Kanan apologised that they could not stay for long and nudged Ezra to tell Bendu the purpose of their meeting . Ezra explained their predicament with Maul and the Sith holocron while Kanan added that the former Sith also wanted his Jedi holocron . Bendu warned that the convergence of the holocrons would provide clarity but could also lead to chaos . After some discussion , he allowed Ezra to recover the holocron but told the apprentice that he needed to travel into a cave full of krykna to retrieve it . Knowing Ezra ' s dislike of the creatures , Kanan instructed Ezra to leave behind his lightsaber and to keep in touch by comlink . When Bendu asked Kanan why , the Jedi Knight explained that Ezra needed to learn how to resolve problems without resorting to violence . Kanan used the comlink to guide Ezra but lost contact with him . The master entered the cave to help his apprentice . Kanan managed to use the Force to reason with the krykna and convince them that he and his apprentice were not threats . After reuniting with Ezra , the two reconciled with Kanan reassuring Ezra that he was not to blame for the recent events . He also counselled Ezra to forgive himself and the two embraced . Under Kanan ' s guidance , Ezra used the Force to levitate the Sith holocron from a chamber full of krykna . After returning , Bendu commended the master and apprentice for restoring balance to their relationship . However , he warned them that Maul would force one of them to open the Jedi holocron . Together , Kanan and Ezra traveled on an A - wing starfighter to their prearranged rendezvous point , the Mandalorian asteroid Station Vizsla Keep 09 . During the journey , Kanan told his apprentice that they would let the Force guide their rescue mission . Upon arriving , the two were greeted by Maul . Satisfied that the Jedi had met his terms , he sent two tour droids to guide Ezra to the command center . Maul then led Kanan to the airlock . On the way , Maul apologized to Kanan for blinding him before making a second attempt on his life . Maul pushed Kanan into the airlock but the Jedi managed to use the Force to leap back into the station ' s hangar bay . Kanan then made his way into the " Ghost " cargo hold and destroyed Maul ' s tour guide droids before they could execute Hera , Chopper , Zeb , and Sabine . Together , they made their way to the command center where Maul and Ezra had combined the two holocrons . Despite the room being bathed in a bright pink glow of light , Kanan managed to sense Ezra and convince his apprentice to end the ritual . The holocrons quickly separated with an explosion and deactivated . Maul took advantage of the chaos to escape into hyperspace . Kanan attended to his unconscious apprentice . When Ezra awoke , Kanan reassured Ezra that together they would discover the secrets of the holocrons . Rescuing defectors . After Imperial forces attacked a rebel convoy near Teralov , Kanan and his fellow rebels attended a briefing chaired by Commander Sato . During the meeting , the rebels learnt that a rebel agent known as Fulcrum had information of Imperial cadets from the elite Skystrike Academy who wanted to defect to the rebellion . Hera assigned Sabine on an undercover mission to extricate the cadets . Kanan along with his apprentice Ezra and Chopper were assigned to a CR90 corvette that was tasked with rescuing Sabine and her team . When they received confirmation that Sabine had managed to infiltrate the Academy , Kanan assured Ezra that Sabine was capable of looking after herself . When Sabine and the defecting cadets Wedge Antilles , Hobbie , and Rake Gahree tried to escape , Kanan and Ezra attempted to rendezvous with them . However , Governor Arihnda Pryce deactivated the TIE fighters ' solar collector s and sent TIE interceptors to attack the rebel corvette . Despite Ezra ' s protests , Kanan ordered Chopper to evacuate the ship into hyperspace . Despite Sabine ' s orders to evacuate , Ezra and Kanan kept their ship nearby in the event that Sabine and the other cadets managed to escape . The rebels ' corvette managed to evacuate the cadets ' stolen TIE bomber . Kanan was present on the bridge when Sabine , Wedge , and Hobbie came aboard . They then fled into hyperspace . Kanan was later present at Chopper Base when Commander Sato formally welcomed Wedge and Hobbie into the rebellion . Return to Ryloth . Later , Kanan and the other Spectres returned to Ryloth to deliver supplies to Cham , the leader of the Free Ryloth movement . After rescuing Cham and another rebel Numa from an Imperial patrol , Kanan attended a briefing where Cham outlined the military advances made by Grand Admiral Thrawn in the Tann Province . Kanan and all of the other rebels also volunteered to help Hera recover a valuable family heirloom , the Kalikori , from Imperial forces who had set up base at the Syndulla residence . While Hera , Ezra , and Chopper infiltrated the Syndulla residence , Ezra , Cham , and the other rebels staged a diversionary attack on Imperial forces in the Tulara Ravine . The rebels managed to destroy an Imperial Troop Transport and an AT - DP walker . The rebels then retreated but were pursued by a second AT - DP walker . The rebels were forced to dig in as a gun battle unfolded . A ceasefire occurred when Thrawn ' s second in command Captain Slavin contacted Cham via a hologram projector and informed the rebels they had captured Hera and Ezra . He demanded that Cham surrender himself in return for the safe return of his daughter and Ezra . At dawn , the Spectres and Cham ' s team arrived on the " Ghost " at the Syndulla residence to facilitate the exchange . Kanan accompanied Cham down the forward ramp of the ship . Before the exchange could take place , Hera ordered Chopper , who had evaded capture , to detonate several explosives which devastated the Syndulla home . With the Imperials momentarily distracted , the rebels made their escape . While fleeing , Kanan used his lightsaber to deflect a rocket back at an AT - DP walker , toppling it to the ground . After escaping into the wilderness , Kanan and Hera had a private chat with Cham where Hera emphasized her love for Kanan , her father , and her crew . She emphasized that she did not need the Kalikori when she still had a family . Relics of the Clone Wars . After the events on Ryloth , Kanan joined Ezra , Zeb , Chopper and Rex on a mission to salvage proton bomb s from a wrecked Separatist supply ship on the planet Agamar . After Hera and Sabine departed , Kanan accompanied the other rebels and Rex as they explored the wreckage . When Rex snapped at Ezra for making light of the danger of the B1 battle droids , Kanan reassured his apprentice that Rex was still deeply affected by the Clone Wars . The rebels apart from Chopper quickly stumbled upon a munitions depot stacked with proton bombs . However , they were captured in a Separatist ray shield by several battle droids led by B1 - 268 , who received orders to stun the prisoners . When Kanan awoke , he had to reassure Rex that he was not in the Clone Wars . Kanan and his fellow rebels then found themselves prisoners of the super tactical droid Kalani , who had countermanded the shut - down order that accompanied Order 66 . He still had scores to settle with the clones and Jedi and forced Kanan , Rex , and Ezra to participate in a simulated war match . Rex and Kanan objected but Ezra convinced his comrades to participate in the match in order to free Zeb , who had been designated a hostage , and to obtain the proton bombs . Kalani agreed to Ezra ' s terms and made preparations for the battle . Kanan and the other rebels were instructed to advance towards the command bridge in order to rescue Zeb . During the combat match , Kanan and Ezra allowed Rex to take charge . Kanan and his apprentice Ezra used the Sword and Shield maneuver to shatter the advancing battle droids and to force their way to the hangar . Inside the hangar , they were ambushed by several droideka s . While Kanan and Rex provided covering fire , Ezra advanced forwards to collapse the catwalk on the droids . Ezra was delayed by a chance encounter with Chopper , who had sent a distress transmission and discovered a Neimoidian escort shuttle . While exchanging fire with battle droids , Rex was hit and Kanan attended to his comrade . Fortunately , Rex survived due to his protective armor . After collapsing the catwalk with the Force , Ezra rejoined Kanan and Rex . When Rex chastised Ezra for the delay , Kanan reassured his apprentice that Rex was determined to end the battle . After knocking out another droideka , Kanan and his fellow rebels forced their way into Kalani ' s command center . However , Kalani refused to accept defeat on technical grounds and threatened to execute Zeb . Before further hostilities could break out , Ezra managed to convince Kalani and Rex that trying to win the battle was futile since their true enemy was the Galactic Empire . Ezra reasoned that the Empire was the enemy of the Separatists since it was the successor to the Republic . Kalani saw reason after Imperial forces landed and attacked a battle droid patrol led by B1 - 268 . The rebels and Kalani then joined forces to escape Agamar . Under Kalani ' s direction , Kanan and Ezra deflected blaster bolts fired by his battle droids at several proton bombs , which had been rolled towards the advancing AT - AT and AT - DP walkers . The blasts ignited several of the bombs which succeeded in taking out one of the AT - ATs . The rebels and droids then took their chance to escape aboard three Neimoidian escort shuttles . While one of the shuttles was shot down , the rebels ' and Kalani ' s shuttles managed to escape into space . Once in space , Kanan listened Rex and Kalani praised Ezra for ending the Clone Wars . Believing that the rebels had a poor chance of success against the Empire , Kalani and his remaining droids elected to depart into space . Shortly later , Kanan and his crew were contacted by Hera , who asked them about the progress of their salvage mission . Despite failing to obtain the proton bombs , the rebels managed to obtain a new transport for the " Ghost " . Trouble on Concord Dawn . Kanan Jarrus later attended a briefing in the war room of a rebel CR90 corvette ] . Hera Syndulla and Commander Sato had convened the briefing to discuss the rebels losing contact with the Protectors of Concord Dawn . Earlier , Fenn Rau had given the rebels permission to travel through the oncord Dawn system in order to avoid Imperial sector patrols . Hera summoned Fenn Rau and Sabine to inquire into the matter . When Zeb asked whether Rau was their prisoner , Kanan clarified that he was a " grumpy house guest . " Hera dispatched Rau , Sabine , Ezra , and Chopper on a mission to the third moon of Concord Dawn to investigate . There , they discovered that the Imperial Viceroy Gar Saxon had attacked and wiped out the Protectors . As a result , Fenn decided to join the rebellion once and for all . Evacuation of Mykapo . Kanan and his fellow Spectres later assisted the Phoenix Squadron in the evacuation of rebel sympathizers from the planet Mykapo . While Hera attempted to convince members of a local rebel cell called the Iron Squadron to leave the system before Imperial reinforcements arrived , Kanan and Zeb assisted with Rex ' s evacuation efforts in the shuttle " Phantom II " . After evacuating , the rebels rendezvoused with the fleet while Ezra , Sabine , and Chopper tried to reason with Iron Squadron . Ezra and his team managed to convince the Squadron members Gooti Terez , Jonner Jin , and R3 - A3 to evacuate but were forced to leave the captain Mart Mattin behind after he tried to attack Imperial forces under Admiral Konstantine . Kanan was present during a hologram briefing in which Hera and the other rebels resolved to rescue Mart . During the rescue mission , Kanan manned the " Ghost " top turret cannons and destroyed several TIE fighters . After rescuing Mart and his ship " Sato ' s Hammer " , the rebels escaped with the help of Commander Sato . Kanan was later present at Chopper Base when Commander Sato reunited with his nephew Mart and Mart embraced his crew . Mission to Wynkahthu . Later , Kanan and his fellow rebels reluctantly agreed to help the pirate Hondo and his business partner Azmorigan retrieve cargo from a stricken Imperial cargo ship in the stormy upper atmosphere of the planet Wynkahthu . While Kanan and Hera distrusted Hondo , they agreed to help after learning that the ship contained proton bombs , a commodity desired by the rebellion . When Hera appointed Zeb in charge of the mission , Kanan agreed with Hera ' s assessment that Hondo could not be trusted but still opined that his apprentice Ezra needed to experience it for himself . For the duration of the mission , Kanan stayed with Hera aboard the " Ghost " bridge . He was alarmed when AP - 5 had a 38 . 5 % chance of success due to the windy and stormy conditions on Wynkahthu . Kanan and Hera kept in touch with the rebels and their confederates via comlink . Despite the windy conditions , the salvage team led by Zeb managed to enter the cargo ship and open its outer doors to allow the " Ghost " to reach the ship . The salvage team then used grappling guns to transfer the proton bombs and treasure aboard the " Ghost " . Despite encountering opposition from several Imperial sentry droid s , Zeb ' s salvage team managed to accomplish their mission . Using the Force to guide him , Kanan also helped pull Zeb and Ezra aboard the ship after the cable snapped . The rebels then departed on the " Ghost " as the cargo ship was ripped apart by the vortex . Once aboard , Kanan was present when the other rebels examined their loot . He was also present when Hondo discovered that his surviving Ugnaught crew member Melch had stowed aboard one of the crates . Undercover on Lothal . Infiltrating the Imperial armory . After the Phoenix Squadron received intelligence that the Empire was developing a new weapon at the Imperial Armory Complex , the Squadron dispatched Kanan , his apprentice Ezra , and Chopper to solicit the help of Azadi ' s rebel cell in taking out the factory . Kanan and his team landed in Capital City and rendezvoused with Ryder . Fleeing on his landspeeder , Kanan and Ezra managed to use their lightsabers to topple an AT - DP walker . They then managed to outrun two defective 614 - AvA speeder bike , which overheated and exploded . At Ryder ' s hideout , Kanan and Ezra learnt that Ryder ' s cell was sabotaging vehicles produced at the Lothal Imperial factory . After discussing their plans , Morad agreed to help Kanan , Ezra , and Chopper infiltrate the factory . Kanan and Ezra donned factory uniforms while Chopper was disguised as an Imperial communication droid . At the factory , the workers were summoned for an assembly where Grand Admiral Thrawn berated the workers for their shoddy workmanship . As a deterrent , he forced Morad to ride a defective 614 - AvA speeder bike , which exploded and killed Sumar . When Thrawn ordered his subordinates to question the workers , Kanan and his apprentice slipped away with the help of Chopper , who staged a distraction . However , Kanan lost contact with Ryder since the Imperials were jamming their signals . Master and apprentice then managed to knock out and steal the uniforms of a stormtrooper and scout trooper . The three rebels then made their way to Section A2 , where Morad believed that the secret plans were stored . Since Thrawn had stationed sentries outside the chamber which only admitted individuals carrying clearance codes , Kanan stopped a communication droid . Chopper then electrocuted the droid and stole its clearance code . While Kanan and Ezra waited for Chopper to return , they were confronted by a stormtrooper corporal and his men , who noted that the two were outside of their territory . At that point , Chopper exited the chamber Despite Ezra ' s efforts to bluff the corporal by claiming they were in the wrong section , the corporal did not believe them and the rebels were forced to flee into a turbolift . There , they encountered their perennial adversary Agent Kallus , who recognized the two rebels and their droids . The unlikeliest ally . Believing Kallus to be a foe , Kanan and Ezra engaged in a fist fight with the ISB agent . However , Kallus managed to convince them that he was Fulcrum by repeating the code phrase " by the light of the moons of Lothal . " While Chopper trusted Kallus , Ezra was suspicious . Seeking to test Kallus , Kanan tasked the ISB agent with helping them gain access to a com station . Using their lightsabers and blasters , Ezra and Kanan managed to knock out the stormtroopers guarding the station . Kallus then helped Kanan to upload his comlinks from this port . Kanan managed to contact Ryder , who informed him that his team was ready to attack the east gate . Kallus then advised the rebels to steal an AT - DP walker and escape through the east gate . When Ezra flung Kallus through a glass monitor to convince the Empire that he had put up a fight , Kanan chided his apprentice for beating him to the game . However , Ezra replied that Kanan would get another chance . The three rebels managed to escape in an AT - DP walker through the east gate just as Ryder attacked the factory . However , the Empire deployed two AT - AT walkers against Ryder ' s forces . Thrawn then realized that Kanan ' s team had hijacked an AT - DP walker and ordered his AT - ATs to destroy the rebel walker . During the firefight , Kanan vouched for Kallus when Ezra expressed his suspicion that their new ally had set them up . When one of the AT - ATs proceeded to crush their AT - DP walker under its heavy body , Kanan and Ezra used their lightsabers to cut their way into the enemy walker . Once aboard , the three rebels accosted the pilots and escaped through the hatch . Their escape coincided with Morad ' s wife Marida Sumar firing a rocket that took out the fore leg of their hijacked walker . Kanan and his team then escaped with Ryder on their landspeeders . Back at Ryder ' s base , Kanan , Ezra , and Ryder debriefed Hera , Sabine , and Zeb about their mission . After downloading the information that Chopper had stolen , the rebels discovered that Thrawn was developing a new Imperial starfighter . Kanan and Hera expressed their fears that this new weapon would lead to the loss of pilots and threaten the rebellion . Kanan and Ezra also informed their comrades about the assistance they received from Kallus . Hera advised them to exercise caution in their interactions with Kallus . The spectre of Maul . Using the information that Kanan and his team had obtained , Hera planned a strike on the Lothal Imperial factory . Kanan , the other Spectres , Rex , and members of Phoenix Squadron attended the briefing . Hera decided to deploy only a fraction of Phoenix Squadron and assigned Ezra a recon mission to gather intelligence on Imperial military positions . Kanan sensed Ezra ' s unease when his apprentice experienced a vision of Maul among them . Kanan and Zeb tended to Ezra when he fainted after seeing an apparition of Maul behind him . When Hera asked Kanan what was wrong , he admitted he did not know . Later , Kanan and the other rebels tended to Ezra when he awoke in his cabin aboard the " Ghost " . When Ezra claimed that he was fine and insisted on continuing with the mission , Kanan thought that the problem was not over yet and that Ezra was affected by his last encounter with Maul and the holocrons . Kanan ' s concerns were validated after Ezra almost killed a rebel trooper he had mistaken for Maul . Kanan managed to use the Force to restrain his apprentice and told Ezra not to be blinded by the vision . After Ezra came to his senses , he was relieved of his duties . While Hera wanted to stay behind , Kanan convinced her to proceed with the mission and told her that he had a plan to tackle Ezra ' s problems . Kanan placed a tracking device on Ezra ' s wrist comm and got Sabine to track his movements . He and Ezra then ventured into the wilderness to commune with Bendu . After Ezra related his predicament , the Bendu surmised that the incomplete holocron vision was the source of the problem . When Ezra asked what to do , Bendu told him and Kanan not to turn around . Despite his warnings , the two turned and found Maul standing on top of a dune watching them . Kanan asked Bendu what to do next only to discover he had vanished . When Kanan and Ezra brandished their lightsabers , Maul then announced that he had come to talk . He told that he had come to seek fragments of the incomplete holocron vision that resided in Ezra ' s mind . When Maul offered to keep Chopper Base a secret , Kanan refused to deal with him and threatened to strike him down . However , Maul revealed that he had planted a homing beacon nearby and threatened to ignite it if he was slain . With little choice , Kanan reluctantly allowed Ezra to follow Maul on his ship " Nightbrother " to Dathomir . Using the tracking device , Kanan and Sabine followed Maul and Ezra on the " Phantom II " to Dathomir . They landed at the Nightsister lair and ventured inside a cave . There , Kanan and Sabine discovered that Maul and Ezra had completed a ritual which involved summoning the spirits of fallen Nightsisters . Seeking their payment in flesh and blood , the spirits possessed Kanan and Sabine . The possessed Kanan and Sabine then attacked Maul and Ezra with the former engaging the Drak sider in a brief lightsaber duel . Since the spirits were unable to leave the cave due to the altar being their source of power , Ezra and Maul were able to escape outside . Unwilling to abandon his master and friend , Ezra returned alone into the cave . After exercising Sabine , he found the possessed Kanan kneeling on top of the altar , which was bathed in a green light and covered with spirits . Ezra offered his own flesh and blood as payment if the spirit left Kanan . The spirit agreed provided he bested Kanan in combat . Following a brief fight , Ezra managed to beat Kanan and the Nightsister spirit left his body . Ezra then told Kanan to leave while he parlayed with the spirits . Using his lightsaber and an ancient Mandalorian weapon called the Darksaber , Ezra destroyed the altar and vanished the spirits . When Kanan returned , he asked Ezra whether their adventure was worth it and vowed never to work with Maul again . After Sabine returned to the cave , Ezra informed them that the Jedi Master Obi - Wan Kenobi held the key to destroying the Sith and that he resided on a planet with twin suns . The three resolved to get to Kenobi before Maul did and to learn the key to destroying the Sith . Mission on Geonosis . At the request of Senator Bail Organa , the Spectres and Rex undertook a mission to find Saw Gerrera , who was investigating the apparent disappearance of the Geonosian species . After accepting the mission , Kanan asked Rex if they should be worried about what Saw found . Rex replied that they should instead be worried about what he did not find . The rebels landed their ship " Ghost " near a Geonosian structure where Saw had lost contact with Rebel Command . Kanan accompanied Rex , Ezra , and Chopper on the search for Saw which took them into an underground labyrinth . After discovering discarded helmets and sealed - up tunnels , Kanan sensed danger and advocated returning to the " Ghost " . However , Ezra and Rex insisted on pressing on with the mission due to the latter ' s friendship with Saw . The rebels eventually reached a dead - end and found themselves under attack from several battle droids and a droideka . Saw came to their aid and destroyed the battle droids . This allowed Kanan and his apprentice to destroy the droideka with their lightsabers . After exchanging pleasantries , Saw recounted how his team had been attacked and killed by a Geonosian , who was operating battle droids . Believing that the Geonosian held the key to discovering what the Empire was building on Geonosis , Saw convinced Kanan and his team to help them capture the Geonosian . After reaching a large air shaft , Kanan contacted Hera with his comlink to warn her about the presence of operational battle droids . Shortly later , Kanan and his team discovered the presence of a lone Geonosian on the other side of the air shaft . Using the Force , Kanan helped propel his apprentice Ezra onto the other side so that he could pursue the fugitive . After Chopper joined Ezra , Kanan used the Force to suspend a stone bridge and used it help Saw and Rex cross to the other side , before joining them by jumping across the shaft . Following a protracted pursuit , Kanan and his fellow rebels managed to capture the Geonosian , whom Ezra later nicknamed Klik - Klak . Kanan was concerned with Saw ' s harsh interrogation methods and told him to let Ezra question Klik - Klak . The rebels subsequently discovered Klik - Klak ' s nest and found a working transmitter ; which Kanan used to contact Hera and arrange for a pick - up in the air shaft . Following an argument between Ezra and Saw , Kanan managed to broker a compromise which allowed Saw to take Klik - Klak to Chopper Base for interrogation on the condition that he was safely returned to Geonosis . Saw accepted Kanan ' s terms . Kanan and his team reunited with the " Ghost " just as Captain Brunson ' s " Arquitens " - class command cruiser entered Geonosis . Once aboard , Hera took Kanan aside to warn him about Saw ' s harsh methods . Kanan and Hera were forced to intervene when Saw reneged on his earlier agreement and attempted to forcibly take Klik - Klak aboard the " Phantom II " . When Kanan reiterated that they would question Klik - Klak at Chopper Base , Saw accused the Jedi of being soft . Following a scuffle with Ezra and Rex , Saw threatened to shoot Klik - Klak ' s egg in an attempt to force the rebels to accede to his demands . The Spectres and Saw put aside their differences to repel a boarding party of Jumptrooper s , which Brunson had dispatched . Following a brief skirmish , the " Ghost " descended into the depths of Geonosis . Reaching the bottom , the rebels discovered Imperial poison canisters which proved that the Empire had perpetrated genocide against the Geonosians . As a result , Saw experienced a change of heart and freed Klik - Klak and the Geonosian queen egg . The rebels then managed to escape Brunson ' s light cruiser by blasting it with rocket bomb s . After escaping into space , Kanan , Hera , Ezra , and Saw briefed Senator Organa and Commander Sato about the events on Geonosis . Organa believed that news of the Geonosian genocide would sway more worlds to the rebellion . Commander Sato also congratulated the rebels for rescuing Saw and obtaining a new deflector core . When Saw expressed dissatisfaction that they had not yet uncovered what the Empire was building on Geonosis , Kanan reassured him that they would eventually find out . After Saw had left , Kanan counselled Ezra that not all their allies shared their values . Hera then added that they should be content that Saw was not the Empire . Training exercise . Kanan along with Hera , Ezra , Sabine , Wedge Antilles , Hobbie , and most of the Phoenix rebels took part in a training exercise . Prior to departure , he tried to reassure a despondent Zeb that they would be back . Zeb was despondent that he had been assigned as Chief of Security for Chopper Base . In Kanan ' s absence , Zeb along with Chopper and the inventory droid AP - 5 neutralized the E - XD infiltrator droid EXD - 9 and turned him into an improvised bomb which destroyed a Star Destroyer . After Zeb reported an incident , Kanan and the other Spectres returned to investigate . When Chopper remarked that he had nothing to do with what happened , Kanan asked the droid to clarify his statement . Later , Kanan and the other rebels listened to a recorded message from Fulrum thanking the rebels for neutralizing the threat of the infiltrator droid . Before AP - 5 could recount the full story , Zeb playfully muzzled him to the bemusement of Kanan and the other Spectres . Sabine ' s trials . Following the events on Dathomir , Sabine Wren left the Darksaber in the care of Kanan . Realizing the weapon ' s history and significance , Kanan requested a meeting with Fenn Rau , the former leader of the Protectors who had since joined the rebellion . Rau recognized the weapon and related its history to Kanan . Fenn believed that Sabine could use the Darksaber to unify the Mandalorian people and to bring them over to the rebellion . Kanan told Fenn that Sabine did not want to go down that path . However , the two decided that they had to convince Sabine to change her mind for the sake of the rebellion . Later , Kanan helped Hera and Rau officiate a meeting with Sabine and the other Spectres . During the meeting , Kanan told Sabine that he believed that it was no coincidence that she came across the Darksaber . While Kanan acknowledged that Sabine was no Jedi , he believed that she could learn how to become proficient with the weapon . Sabine was reluctant to wield the Darksaber since the wielder also assumed leadership of the Mandalorians . Sabine believed that she was an unsuitable leader due to her estranged relationship with her family . While Kanan believed that she could change , Sabine refused to accept the challenge until Hera explained that the rebels needed the Mandalorians to help attack Lothal . After some consideration , Sabine reluctantly agreed to train with the Darksaber under the tutelage of Kanan and Ezra . When Sabine threatened to learn how to kick Ezra ' s " arse " for telling her " don ' t try , just learn " , Kanan cautioned her to restrain herself . To avoid the distractions of Chopper Base , Kanan and Ezra took Sabine into the wilderness to train . After setting up camp , Kanan parried with Sabine using training sabers . He thought that the Darksaber was still too dangerous for Sabine and wanted to test her fighting skills . Despite being blind , Kanan managed to use his Force powers to knock Sabine to the ground . Unimpressed with her combat skills , Kanan instructed Sabine to learn lightsaber strokes under Ezra ' s tutelage using sticks . After two days , Kanan chatted with Hera via hologram , who disagreed with Kanan ' s decision to hold back Sabine ' s training . Kanan rationalized that Sabine had not opened her mind to the Force . However , he agreed to accept provisions from the camp . Later , Fenn Rau arrived with the supplies and outfitted Sabine with Mandalorian vambrace s . Using the vambraces , Sabine managed to gain the upper hand over Ezra . Annoyed by her use of the vambraces , Kanan asked her if it was a game to her . In response , Sabine claimed she was outsmarting her opponent and challenged Kanan to " take a shot " and attacked him with her grappling line . Though temporarily immobilized , Kanan quickly broke free with his lightsaber and retorted that the Jedi had won the war with Mandalore and took the opportunity to lecture that while those " tricks " would amount to something and maybe save her from time to time , only training and discipline would keep her alive in the long run . Frustrated with Kanan ' s training methods , Sabine stormed off to regain her composure . That evening , Kanan chatted with Hera . Hera criticized Kanan ' s decision to hold back Sabine ' s training . In order to motivate her , Hera convinced Kanan to let her wield the Darksaber so that she could claim ownership the weapon . Hera also explained that Sabine was troubled by her rejection by her own family . After Sabine returned , Kanan apologized for holding back her training . Sabine in return apologized for her sullen attitude . Kanan and Sabine then parried with their blades . Kanan took the opportunity to drill Sabine with lightsaber strokes . As they parried , Sabine was able to strengthen her connection to the Darksaber . As part of the training session , Kanan goaded Sabine about her past decisions to abandon the Empire and leave her family . As they sparred , Sabine revealed that she had spoken out against the Empire for using her to build weapons used to enslave Mandalore . Her family had cast her out and chosen the Empire over her . Overcome with emotion , Sabine managed to gain the upper hand over Kanan but quickly terminated the duel and broke down weeping . Pleased with Sabine ' s progress , Kanan comforted Sabine by telling her that the Empire ruled through fear and that her family were in a prison of their own making . He reassured Sabine that she could free her family and vowed to help her . Fenn and Ezra then joined in pledging to help Sabine to win over both her family and her people to the rebel cause . Mission to Krownest . After training Sabine , Kanan along with Ezra , Chopper , and Fenn Rau traveled on the " Phantom II " to the planet Krownest , the seat of Clan Wren . Upon arriving , their ship was attacked by a group of Mandalorian warriors led by Sabine ' s brother Tristan Wren . After landing the ship in the snow , Kanan advised Fenn and Chopper to stay aboard the ship while he and the other Spectres dealt with Sabine ' s family . Despite a brief skirmish , Sabine managed to reunite with Tristan , who agreed to let his sister and her rebel comrades enter the Wren Stronghold . Following a cold reception , Sabine ' s mother Countess Ursa Wren allowed the Jedi and Sabine to enter her ancestral home provided they surrendered their weapons including the Darksaber . Kanan agreed to surrender his lightsaber if it helped them win the war . Once inside , Kanan and Ezra listened as Sabine and her mother Ursa engaged in a tense discussion about the Empire , the Protectors , and Viceroy Gar Saxon . While Sabine and Ursa left to talk privately , Kanan told Ezra to be careful with his Mandalorian hosts . He then told Tristan that he wanted to speak with the Countess . Ursa agreed to grant an audience to Kanan and Ezra . Unknown to them , she had made a secret deal with Gar Saxon to trade the Jedi and the Darksaber in return for showing clemency to her daughter Sabine . During the meeting , Ursa chastised the Jedi for not " knowing " her daughter . Kanan responded that Ursa was underestimating the woman her daughter had become . When Ezra vouched for Sabine , Ursa apologized that she had " to do something unfortunate . " Shortly later , Saxon and his Imperial Super Commandos arrived and took Ezra and Kanan into custody along with the Darksaber . Saxon broke his earlier deal with Ursa and ordered his Super Commandos to destroy Clan Wren . At that point , Fenn Rau entered the throne room and handed Kanan and Ezra back their lightsabers . The Jedi then helped the Wrens and Fenn Rau defeat Saxon ' s Super Commando contingent . Kanan and the others then watched as Sabine fought Saxon in a single duel . Following a fierce skirmish , Sabine defeated Saxon and reclaimed the Darksaber . She chose to spare Saxon but the Viceroy refused to accept defeat and tried to kill her . Ursa then intervened and killed Saxon , overthrowing the Emperor ' s Hand on Mandalore . Following the skirmish , Sabine decided to stay behind with her family to help them reunify the Mandalorian people . Fenn Rau also elected to stay behind . Kanan and Ezra then departed with Chopper on the repaired " Phantom II " . Before parting company with Sabine , Kanan told her that he would miss her and the two embraced . Sabine also thanked Ezra and Kanan for helping her to become a stronger person and to repair her relationship with her family . Rescuing Kallus . After the rebels discovered that Grand Admiral Thrawn was monitoring Kallus ' Fulcrum transmissions , Kanan and Rex took part in a mission to rescue the rogue ISB agent and rebel informant . While Ezra , Chopper , and AP - 5 stole a shuttle and allowed themselves to be captured by an Imperial light cruiser where Kallus was stationed , Kanan and Rex flew the " Sentinel " - class landing craft TY997 to rendezvous with the cruiser . The rebels had obtained a set of clearance codes which would allow them to land on the Imperial light cruiser , which was commanded by Lieutenant Lyste . For the mission , Kanan and Rex wore stormtrooper armor . However , an unexpected change of plans occurred when Grand Admiral Thrawn ordered Agent Kallus and Lieutenant Lyste to come aboard his Imperial Star Destroyer " Chimaera " for a meeting . Eager to trumpet his success , Lyste brought Ezra aboard . After boarding the " Chimaera " , Chopper and AP - 5 managed to update Kanan and Rex . Kanan then tasked Chopper with obtaining a new set of clearance codes that would allow them to land on Thrawn ' s Star Destroyer . With the help of Kallus and Ezra , Chopper succeeded in transmitting the codes to Kanan . After exiting hyperspace above the planet Lothal , Kanan and Rex discovered Thrawn ' s Seventh Fleet in orbit . When Kanan asked how many ships , Rex told him not to worry and to transmit the clearance codes . The Imperials accepted their code and Kanan and Rex were able to dock in the " Chimaera " hangar . However , Thrawn had learned that rebel infiltrators were aboard TY997 and sent Governor Pryce to arrest them . Despite their stormtrooper armor , Pryce knew that Kanan and Rex were infiltrators and ordered them to surrender . When Kanan protested , Pryce stunned him . A fight broke out between Rex , Pryce , and the Governor ' s stormtroopers . Pryce eventually gained the upper hand over the disguised Rex and turned to face Kanan . However , Lieutenant Lyste , mistaking her for the rebel agent Fulcrum , stunned her . Kallus then tackled Lyste to the ground while Ezra , AP - 5 , and Chopper fled aboard the shuttle with Kanan and Rex . Kallus then elected to stay behind in order to continue helping the rebellion and framed Lyste as Fulcrum . Supply run . While the other Spectres undertook a dangerous mission to deliver the former Imperial Senator Mon Mothma through the Archeon pass , Kanan volunteered for a supply run . Alliance to Restore the Republic . Maul ' s last stand . After Ezra Bridger received messages through Kanan ' s Jedi holocron and the Malachor Sith holocron indicating that Obi - Wan Kenobi was in danger from Maul , Kanan found a troubled Ezra in his quarters where the holocrons were kept . Kanan , the other Spectres , Rex , and Commander Sato met at Chopper Base ' s command center to discuss the situation . Kanan was unsure what the holocrons were trying to say while Rex thought that Kenobi had died . Since the Phoenix Squadron was planning to attack Lothal , Hera urged Ezra to focus on the mission ahead and to set aside his anxieties about Master Kenobi . Despite Hera ' s advice , Ezra and Chopper stole an RZ - 1T trainer and traveled to Tatooine . After enduring an attack by Tusken Raider s and the scorching heat , the two rebels encountered Master Kenobi , who revealed that Maul had used the holocrons to lure Ezra to Tatooine . While Ezra and Chopper returned to Atollon on Maul ' s ship " Nightbrother " , Kenobi dealt with Maul and slew the Dark Sider . Kanan , Hera , and Zeb met Ezra and Chopper when they returned to Chopper Base . Ezra apologized for leaving and stressed that his fellow Spectres were his family . Battle of Atollon . As the rebels mustered for their attack on Lothal , Kanan complimented his apprentice Ezra for his contributions to the rebellion . While Kanan expressed doubts that he was a good teacher , Ezra reassured his master that he had taught him about life . Kanan along with Ezra and Hera then attended a hologram briefing with Commander Sato and General Jan Dodonna , who had arrived in the Atollon system with his Massassi Group . General Dodonna had come to aid the Phoenix Squadron in their attack on the Imperial TIE Defender factories on Lothal . Later , Kanan and Ezra were present at the command center when the rebel readers received an urgent transmission from Fulcrum warning that Thrawn was aware of the attack . Shortly later , Thrawn ' s Seventh Fleet entered and blockaded the Atollon system . Kanan was present when Hera outlined her battle plan to launch an attack on the Imperial fleet in order to provide an opening for the rebels to send a ship seeking reinforcements offworld . Hera assigned Kanan and Ezra for the mission , reasoning that the Jedi had a better chance of success . She allocated Maul ' s former starship " Nightbrother " for the mission . However , Kanan insisted that he had to go into the wilderness and warn a friend about the attack . Despite her reservations , Hera reluctantly allowed Kanan to proceed when he convinced her to trust him . In Kanan ' s absence , Hera instead assigned Ezra and Chopper the mission . Kanan traveled on his Joben T - 85 speeder bike into the krykna nest where Bendu dwelled . The Bendu was furious with Kanan for bringing war to his planet . Kanan tried to plead for Bendu to aid the rebels but Bendu insisted on remaining neutral . While the battle raged in space , Kanan told Bendu that he could not remain in the middle while innocents died . However , Bendu was ambivalent to the Rebellion . When Bendu argued that all things were predestined to die , Kanan contended that they were not meant to be crushed by " overwhelming evil . " Frustrated with Bendu ' s stubbornness , Kanan accused him of cowardice . This angered Bendu and the creature responded that perhaps it was the will of the Force for the Jedi to be destroyed before vanishing into thin air . Kanan rode his speeder bike back to Chopper Base . He contacted Hera via comlink and was told to hurry up . On the way , Thrawn launched his orbital bombardment . Kanan ' s bike was destroyed but the Jedi narrowly survived and managed to reunite with Rex and Zeb . As Thrawn ' s AT - AT walkers and stormtroopers entered the base , Kanan used his lightsaber to topple one of the walkers . After playing cat and mouse with Thrawn ' s death trooper s , Kanan reunited with Hera and the remaining rebels . They attempted to flee aboard the " Ghost " but were surrounded by Thrawn ' s troops . The Grand Admiral demanded that Hera surrender and threatened to kill her companions , beginning with the Jedi . In response , Kanan flashed his lightsaber . Meanwhile , storm clouds began forming above Chopper Base . When Thrawn remarked about the fear on Kanan ' s face , the Jedi responded that the Grand Admiral should be afraid of the storm coming . The Bendu then manifested into a lightning storm and narrowly struck Thrawn . Kanan then warned the other rebels to hold on to something . As Bendu launched his attack on Chopper Base , Kanan and his rebel comrades fled aboard the " Ghost " . They and the surviving rebel ships then headed into space as Bendu ordered both the rebels and Imperials to leave his planet . Upon reaching space , Kanan and his comrades discovered that Ezra and Sabine had returned with Mandalorian reinforcements , who had destroyed Thrawn ' s second interdictor cruiser . After picking up Agent Kallus , the rebel convoy fled into hyperspace . The rebel convoy then traveled to Yavin 4 . During the journey , Kanan met Kallus , who thanked the rebels for taking him in . Kanan responded by thanking Kallus for risking everything for them . Kanan then comforted Ezra about the recent defeat and reassured his apprentice that they were alive and would continue fighting for a future where everyone was free . Mandalore . Kanan , along with Ezra and Chopper , traveled to Mandalore to help Sabine and Clan Wren in rescuing her father Alrich Wren from a Imperial prison . Kanan fought alongside Rau against several jumptroopers . Kanan and Rau were joined by the Nite Owls of Clan Kryze under Lady Bo - Katan Kryze . Following the attack , Kanan spoke with Hera , who told them they could stay on Mandalore for long . Kanan was told to return after they freed Sabine ' s father . Despite being a valuable asset the Alliance , Kanan did not like being seen as " asset " . Hera told Kanan to stay safe regardless . Kanan , along with Kyze and Rau , later attacked the convoy that had Sabine ' s father . With Sabine , Kanan fought off several scout trooper s and took the storm trooper on one of the ITTs . Despite rescuing Sabine ' s father , the Mandalorians came under attack by the " Duchess " , a weapon Sabine had designed . Kanan helped Sabine rescue her mother and brother before the Empire returned . They were able to escape on Kryze ' s gauntlet fighter . At Kryze ' s camp , Kyze and Sabine came up with plan to destroy " The Duchess " , Kanan volunteered himself , Ezra , and Chopper to erase " the Duchess " ' s data from the Imperial database . As the Mandalorians fought the stormtroopers aboard Governor Tiber Saxon Star Destroyer , Kanan , Ezra and Chopper searched for the databases . They fought several stormtroopers as Chopper erased " the Duchess " ' s information from the database . Kanan then let Ezra help Sabine in destroying the " the Duchess " . Kanan and the Mandalorians then left the Destroyer as it was destroyed . Jalindi and the Tonnis sector . Kanan , along with Ezra and Sabine then returned to Yavin 4 . Kanan then saw Hera make a crash - landing and was happy to have the Spectres back together . As Kanan meditated , Kanan then listened to Gerrera ' s speech about the Alliance ' s unwillingness to destroy the Jalindi relay . Kanan also reminded Ezra that it was important choose how to fight , not just what to fight for . Kanan and the Spectres then went to Jalindi to hijack the Relay . After the briefing , Kanan talked to Hera about how the Empire continues to hurt and they want to hurt it back . However , Hera told Kanan that it was Gerrera talking , not him and assured him that they would do the right thing . Kanan then had scramble the " Ghost " < nowiki > ' < / nowiki > s signature . However , Zeb told him that an Imperial light cruiser then arrived . When the light cruiser deployed several TIE / D Defenders , Kanan helped Hera pilot the " Ghost " through a fog bank . However , after the Relay was destroyed and Gerrera took Ezra and Sabine . Following Gerrera ' s destruction of a Kyber crystal , Kanan was unsettled as to the reason the Empire needed them . After Sabine asked if these crystals could be weaponized , Kanan was unsure . Return to Lothal . When Ezra started to have visions about old Jho and Azadi , Kanan told him he was having these visions because of his anxiety of Lothal ' s situation . Following their landing at Yavin 4 Great Temple , they were then summoned by Mothma to a briefing . There , they were shown a message from Azadi about a new type of TIE / D Defender being tested on Lothal . After Ezra volunteered to return to Lothal , Kanan and the other Spectres decided to go with him . Kanan and the others then put on civilian disguises after they boarded Vizago ' s ship the " Broken Horn " . After making their landing and escape at Jhothal , Kanan was sure that Vizago would be able to weasel his way out of his predicament with the Empire . Kanan and Zeb then searched for transportation . During this time , Kanan and Hera walked through the streets . Kanan then told Hera that it has been a long time since they ' ve been alone . As they moved to kiss each other , they were interrupted by a message from Zeb , who had found some speeders they could use , and realized they had to leave , disappointing Kanan . Following an explosion , they picked up Ezra and Sabine . However , they were then confronted by several assault tanks . After their speeder was destroyed , they were then led by Jai Kell back to Old Jho ' s Pit Stop where there was an entrance to the sewers . Kanan then sensed that the stormtroopers and their Death trooper commander , DT - L21 had deployed several Imperial probes . Kanan and the others then split up . When Chopper found a Starbird symbol , Kanan destroyed one of the probe droids and continue through the sewers with Kell and Hera . As they joined up with other Spectres , they found a way out by climbing a ladder . Kanan then severed the ladder as they made their escape . As they left the sewer , they were then picked up by Azadi and Marida Sumar in their U - wing . The TIE / D Defender Elite heist . While Ezra , Sabine , Zeb , and Ryder Azadi traveled to the Imperial testing facility where the TIE / D Defender Elite was being tested , Kanan remained at Ezra ' s old tower with Hera and Chopper . When Hera reported that the Empire was fortifying its anti - aircraft air defenses and installing new fuel tanks at the Imperial factories , Kanan remarked that the Empire was going to start full - scale production of the new fighter on Lothal . After Ezra and Sabine stole the TIE / D Defender Elite , Kanan met Ryder and Zeb when they returned to Ryder ' s U - wing . When Zeb grumbled about the kids ' " stunt " , Kanan told him not to worry . He accompanied Hera on a rescue flight and the two managed to find Ezra and Sabine , who brought the fighter ' s flight data recorder . When Ezra related his encounter with a mythical loth - wolf to Kanan , he responded that " all paths were coming together " but they would know what it meant when they finally got there . The following day , Kanan and his rebel comrades waited at the Lothal resistance camp while Ezra , Zeb , and Kell returned to the crash site to retrieve the hyperdrive . While meditating , he and Hera talked about the Spectres ' special connection to Lothal . Kanan also agreed with Hera ' s observation that they were predestined to meet Ezra . While waiting , Kanan asked Hera about her commitment to the Rebellion and the two talked about their future plans following the Empire ' s defeat . They were alerted by Ryder Azadi to the arrival of an Imperial Troop Transport . Despite preparing for an assault , the rebels were mollified when Zeb exited the transport with the recovered hyperdrive . While Sabine installed the hyperdrive onto Ryder ' s U - wing , Kanan told her that he was worried about her . Hera responded that she had to do her job and the two kissed passionately . After Hera and Chopper departed with the flight data recorder , Kanan and the other rebels fled into a network of caves . There , they were guided by a pack of loth - wolves into a mountain ledge in Lothal ' s southern hemisphere . Kanan also interacted with one of the wolves , which called him by his birth - name " Dume . " As a result , Kanan realized that the loth - wolves had a special connection to the Force and speculated that the Empire was doing something " terrible to Lothal . " He and Ezra pondered on where the Force was leading them to . Boarding the ore crawler . After the rebels had set up camp inside the caves , Kanan and his fellow rebels encountered a Mining Guild ore crawler , Crawler 413 - 24 , as it was harvesting minerals from Lothal ' s surface . At the urging of Zeb , the Spectres decided to board and hijack the ship . After Sabine took out the sentry droids , Ryder delivered Kanan and his team aboard a speeder before driving away . Heading to the bridge , the rebels encountered the Trandoshan Mining Guild captain Seevor . Zeb managed to subdue Seevor but the rebels failed to stop him from sending a distress call to the Mining Guild . While Sabine was repairing their transmitter , they heard a signal emanating from the engine room . Kanan and Zeb went below deck to investigate with Kanan exploring the lower deck while Zeb checked the upper deck . In the lower deck , Kanan encountered several indentured prisoners including the crime lord Vizago , who had smuggled them into Lothal . Kanan was then attacked by the Trandoshan foreman Proach , who was armed with an electro - whip . Kanan fought back with his lightsaber but the Trandoshan wrapped his whip around his arm , causing Kanan to drop his weapon . Zeb then fought Proach on the catwalk outside . The two fell off the guard - raid but Zeb managed to hold on long enough to call Kanan for help . By the time Kanan had arrived , Proach had fallen to his death . Kanan helped Zeb up and the two rejoined their companions . When the Empire dispatched a search party , Kanan along with Ezra and Sabine hid in the bridge ' s cabinet . Zeb posed as an overseer while Vizago posed as the captain . Despite convincing the Imperials that there was no trouble , the rebels encountered a new predicament when Seevor escaped through the ventilators into the engine room . Seevor shut down the reactors and goaded the Spectres . Ezra entered the engine room and killed Seevor following a confrontation . Following Seevor ' s death , Vizago and the other liberated prisoners joined the Rebel Alliance out of gratitude to their liberators . Kanan and the Spectres then managed to re - establish contact with Hera , who informed them that she had convinced Rebel Command to authorize a strike on the Imperial factories on Lothal . Kanan and his group agreed to serve as the ground support team . Attack on Lothal . As part of the Rebel Alliance ' s ground support team on Lothal , Kanan and the Spectres Ezra , Sabine , and Zeb planted explosives on anti - air turbolaser s outside the Imperial Armory Complex . They finished planting their explosives just as Hera ' s squadron of T - 65B X - wing starfighter s entered Lothal ' s orbit and clashed with Grand Admiral Thrawn ' s Seventh Fleet . The group then departed on speeder bikes to rendezvous with Ryder Azadi ' s team . However , Thrawn ' s forces wiped out much of Hera ' s starfighter force , with a few survivors crash - landing in Capital City , forcing Kanan and the others to retreat . While traveling on the highway , Kanan brought his speeder bike to a stop and told the others that he had to go back to rescue Hera . While Ezra understood and said they would see him back at base , Sabine thought they should accompany Kanan to find Hera . Ezra managed to convince Sabine to let Kanan find Hera on his own . While approaching Capital City , Kanan sensed a Loth - wolf and brought his bike to a halt . The creature then suddenly vanished , causing Kanan to fall off his bike . In exasperation , Kanan told the wolf that he had no time for diversions and to stay out of his way . The wolf then reappeared with two other wolves and spoke Kanan ' s former name , Dume . Removing his visor , Kanan replied that he knew what he had to do . Kanan later rendezvoused with Chopper and Mart Mattin , two survivors of Hera ' s ill - fated strike force . After learning of Hera ' s capture by Imperial forces , Kanan evacuated the two rebels to safety on his speeder bike . Hera ' s rescue and death . The rebels concocted a plan for Kanan , Ezra and Sabine to rescue Hera from Thrawn ' s clutches , returning to the city at night and infiltrating the Complex by using Loth - bat glider s that they had built themselves . Kanan climbed to the top of the tower in which Hera was being kept prisoner and tortured by Governor Pryce for information on the whereabouts of the Alliance Fleet . Kanan took out the two stormtroopers guarding Hera , and after she remarked that she disliked his new haircut , they climbed to the roof , where they escaped using the gliders they ' d fashioned . Stormtroopers flew after them , but Ezra and Sabine came to their rescue and shot down the Imperial pilots . Kanan and Hera landed on top of an Imperial fuel tower , waiting for the other Rebels to pick them up . It was there that Hera finally admitted that she loved him , and they kissed . Seeing the Rebels about to escape , Pryce ordered the pilot of the walker they were in to fire upon the fuel tower , causing it to explode . Kanan ran towards the amassing inferno and used the Force to keep the flames from engulfing them . Hera ran towards Kanan but he stopped her with the Force and Force pushed Hera onto the ship , before sending the ship out of the the blast radius . Seconds before his letting the blast consume him , his eyes were restored , granting him his wish to see Hera again . Then , Jarrus passed away and became one with the Force . Legacy . His death allowed the team to escape with their lives , and the destruction of the fuel supply momentarily halted the production of Thrawn ' s TIE Defender project , which the Rebels would later exploit . As Syndulla grieved , Chopper suggested to her to put Kanan on her Kalikori , not only to honor the memory of the man she loved , but also making him an official honorary member of the Syndulla family clan , especially since Kanan and Hera never did get a chance to marry each other before he died . Hera thought that was a good idea , and added a piece of Kanan ' s Jedi Holocron . Although his death greatly affected his teammates , it had significant repercussions . The Emperor , had foreseen that the death of Kanan had created an alteration in the Force that " changed the fate of Lothal " . Shortly after rescuing Tano from the clutches of Vader in the world between worlds , Tano explained to Ezra that Kanan , who was now part of the Cosmic Force , was still able to communicate to the living through the Force . Ezra later attempted to use the world between worlds to travel to the past and save Kanan from his death , but Tano convinced him to not do so as Kanan placed himself where he was most needed . In the end through both this experience and the message given by the Loth - wolf Dume who was believed to carry on Kanan ' s will after death , Ezra was able to learn a valuable final lesson from his master which he passed onto the rest of the Spectres , to be able to let go as Kanan had fulfilled his role . This lesson was significant , as Ezra was capable of resisting the Emperor ' s seduction at being reunited with his deceased parents through the gateway the Emperor so desired to control . Instead of giving in to his manipulation , Ezra found the fortitude needed to let go of his parents and thwart the Emperor ' s plans by destroying the remnants of the Jedi temple . Subsequently following Kanan ' s example to be where he was most needed , Ezra sacrificed himself in order to take Thrawn with himself away from Lothal , enabling the rebels to liberate Lothal from the Empire . Sometime after the liberation , Hera gave birth to Jacen Syndulla , Kanan ' s son . He largely inherited Kanan ' s looks in spite of being a Twi ' lek / human hybrid . Personality and traits . During his youth , Kanan Jarrus ( or rather , Caleb Dume ) had a tendency to ask many questions , hoping to better understand things , which earned him somewhat of a bad reputation among his peers , but it was that inquisitive nature that motivated Billaba to choose him as her apprentice . She would , however , tease him about it , such as when she said questions seemed to be the " natural state " of his mind . Young as he was , he was also reckless , rushing headlong into danger . Any disrespect against his master would anger him , as did being called " kid " . Another peculiarity was that every time he got nervous , he would run his hand through his hair . A secretive man , Jarrus would rarely talk about his past , as he disliked to talk about it , particularly so before meeting Hera Syndulla on Gorse . Before her , Jarrus was reckless , impatient and belligerent , as demonstrated by the little care he put in carrying explosives just to meet his schedule , or his tendency to start fights . Seemingly prickly and detached , Jarrus showed his kindness and commitment to justice only when he thought no one was looking , and his only aim in life was survival , until he met Syndulla . She persuaded him to join her to fight for a lost way of life — to work as a rebel leader , for which he resumed his lost qualities of bravery , honor , and perseverance . The two later subsequently developed a romantic relationship . Having felt adrift since the destruction of the Jedi way of life , he had developed a cynical and cocky personality , and couldn ' t stand " protocol nonsense . " He was also known for humorous banter and for having " a thousand one - liners ready to go . " Never having made it past the rank of Padawan until years into Ezra ' s training , Jarrus had little confidence in his skills as a Jedi and teacher . Because of his incomplete Jedi training , he was self - conscious about it and hesitated to train Ezra Bridger . Furthermore , Depa Billaba ' s last words haunted him and , as the Inquisitor once commented , the former Jedi was afraid of his own power , afraid to wear his lightsaber out in the open . However , during a lightsaber duel with the Sentinel , a manifestation of the Grand Inquisitor as a Jedi Temple Guard , Jarrus realized he should feel content with teaching Ezra all he could , and to his surprise , he was Knighted by the Sentinel . Jarrus ' s experiences during the Clone Wars left him wary of being involved with military affairs . When the " Ghost " crew was faced with the opportunity to join Phoenix Squadron and become full - fledged members of the Rebel fleet , Jarrus was reluctant to go along , citing his distaste for military protocol and the broader consequences of fighting a war , and became apprehensive and disdainful . Jarrus also harbored substantial animosity towards clone troopers for the role they had played in killing Billaba and hunting him down . As a result , Jarrus found it difficult to trust the retired clones Rex , Gregor and Wolffe , and yet , despite his hard feelings towards them , Kanan decided to rescue them during an Imperial assault on Seelos . After Rex joined the Rebellion and befriended his apprentice Ezra , Jarrus argued with the former Clone Captain on a few occasions about how to train the young Jedi . Despite his issues with clones , Jarrus was able to work with Rex to rescue Ezra and several other Phoenix rebels during a rescue mission aboard the Imperial Interdictor . As a result of attaining Jedi Knighthood during his Jedi Trials at the Lothal Jedi Temple , Kanan resolved to keep his apprentice Ezra from falling to the dark side . Kanan was willing to die for this cause . Having grown up during the last years of the Jedi Order , Kanan distrusted the former Sith apprentice Maul and realized that he wanted to use Ezra for his powers . Kanan ' s distrust of Maul was confirmed when the Dark Sider blinded him on Malachor . Kanan ' s blinding had a great impact on the Jedi Knight ' s life and worldview . Kanan withdrew from his responsibilities in Hera ' s rebel cell and the Phoenix Squadron to meditate in the Force . Due to his upbringing , Kanan distrusted anything associated with the Sith and dark side and chastised Ezra for toying with a Sith holocron he had found on Malachor . Under the tutelage of the Bendu , Kanan learned to see through the Force , overcome his fears of the spider - like krykna , and repair his strained relationship with Ezra . By repairing his relationship with his rebel friends , Kanan was able to regain his connection to the Force . Kanan was a strict and methodical teacher . Due to Sabine ' s initial lack of enthusiasm for the Darksaber , Kanan believed that it would be safer for her to begin her training by sparring with melee sticks and learning the basic lightsaber strokes . As a seasoned Jedi , Kanan was knowledgeable of history and familiar with Mandalorian vambraces . His emphasis on skills and discipline clashed with Sabine ' s free - spirited and improvised style of combat . The two were able to resolve their differences after Sabine overcame her strained memories of her family and Kanan decided to trust Sabine ' s ability to bond with the Darksaber herself . While Kanan expressed doubts that he was a good teacher for his apprentice Ezra since he had not completed his own training , Ezra reassured his master that he had taught him about life and how to be a better person . Kanan tried to reason with Bendu to aid the rebellion against Thrawn ' s Imperial forces but underestimated the creature ' s stubborn devotion to neutrality and volatile temperament . Kanan later complimented his former adversary Agent Kallus for risking his life to aid the rebellion . Due to his past experiences , Kanan was also able to look past the rebels ' crushing defeat at Atollon . He reassured his apprentice that they were fortunate to survive and that this meant they could continue fighting for a free galaxy . Despite the odds against the rebels , Kanan still thought of a future with his lover Hera . He and Hera came to believe that the Spectres had a special connection to Lothal and that they were predestined to cross paths with Ezra . While Kanan loved Hera and was reluctant to abandon her , he heeded the wolf ' s warning not to go into Capital City and instead evacuated the rebels Chopper and Mart Mattin . Powers and abilities . Lightsaber skills . Kanan Jarrus had some skill in Form III due to his training under Depa Billaba , who was a master of the style and emphasized its use in close quarter fighting . The Inquisitor noted Jarrus favored the style " to a ridiculous degree . " During his third duel with the Inquisitor , Jarrus ' skill had improved with practice , something the Inquisitor acknowledged . In his final duel with the Inquisitor , Kanan demonstrated enough mastery of Jar ' Kai to defeat the Jedi hunter . In addition to Form III , Jarrus possessed skill in Form V , which he demonstrated on numerous occasions , to deflect blaster fire effectively . While he was skilled enough to hold off the Seventh Sister and the Fifth Brother in combat , he still was unable to beat them . Despite being blind , Kanan was still able to spar with Sabine in a lightsaber training session . Later , the blinded Kanan used the Force to guide him as he used his lightsaber to cut off the legs of an AT - AT walker . Despite Kanan ' s lightsaber skills , he was outmatched by the Trandoshan foreman Proach , who wielded an electro - whip . Force abilities . Jarrus showed capable skill in telekinesis , such as pinning the Inquisitor to the ceiling , or pulling stormtroopers in before clotheslining them , as well as pushing objects and multiple people and even restraining and holding people back for a time . However , many of these feats required great effort or concentration on his part , which he would compensate for by using the Force in tandem with his apprentice , Ezra Bridger . On one occasion , they were able to send Darth Vader himself flying into the path of a collapsing walker with their combined Force powers , though it should be noted that Vader was not paying any attention to them at the time . Later in his life he achieved considerably greater mastery of telekinesis , and was at one point able to suspend a huge piece of rock to allow Rex and Gerrera to cross a chasm on Geonosis without significant fatigue , and even followed through with a powerful long - distance Force - enhanced jump . In his final moments , he created a barrier of energy to hold back a massive explosion from an Imperial fuel tank long enough for his family to escape . While holding back the explosion , he levitated and pushed Hera into a commandeered patrol gunship to prevent her from intervening . He then used all of his remaining strength to push the entire ship away from the explosion which was then released from its confinement , killing him . Jarrus ' s sense allowed him to perceive certain events and even other Force users , such as when he first felt Ezra Bridger ' s presence on Lothal , when he felt Luminara Unduli ' s presence on Stygeon Prime , and when he sensed the loth - wolves ' deep connection to the Force . Jarrus also demonstrated an affinity for influencing animals through the Force as he did with a loth - cat in one of Bridger ' s lessons , and later to control several fyrnocks alongside his apprentice . Jarrus could also perform Force jump , such as when he escaped Agent Kallus , or when he leapt to slice the left legs of a walker , as well as mind tricks . Through his Master , Caleb Dume was able to receive Force visions , such as when he witnessed the Jedi ' s destruction . Kanan was able to use his Force powers to hold on to Fenn Rau ' s Fang fighter despite the Mandalorian Protector ' s best efforts to shake him off . When Kanan was blinded by Maul during his mission to Malachor , he used the Force to improve his senses and determine where Maul was so he could fight him . Under the tutelage of the Bendu , Kanan learned to see through the Force despite his physical blindness . Through the Force , the blinded Kanan was able to accomplish feats including surviving being ejected into space , fighting Imperial troops and battle droids alike , using the Force to deflect a rocket towards an Imperial walker , and jumping onto the front armor plate of a fast - moving speeder bike . Due to his Force powers , Kanan was able to interact with Force - sensitive creatures such as the mythical loth - wolves of Lothal . He sensed that the creatures were connected to Lothal through the Force and were trying to warn the rebels that the Empire was doing something malevolent to Lothal . His sudden display of seemingly unnatural power with the Force , as well as his blind eyes returning to normal , appeared to be due to his interactions with the spiritual loth - wolves . Other abilities . Jarrus was a capable pilot , though he recognized that Hera Syndulla was much better than him in this aspect . He also knew how to swim , and was very accurate with the use of firearms , favouring a DL - 18 blaster pistol — a gunslinger ' s weapon — much of the time , since drawing his lightsaber would attracted Imperial attention . He also showed great skill in hand - to - hand combat as shown on their mission to Stygeon Prime : Jarrus easily disarmed and knocked out stormtroopers while unarmed , or knocking Tápusk and all of his men with ease . A speaker of Basic , Jarrus also understood Binary and Ithorese . Under the Bendu ' s tutelage , Kanan learned how to suppress his fears and anxieties . Being able to master his fears enabled Kanan to use the Force to convince the spider - like krykna that he was not hostile . Despite being blinded , Kanan ' s affinity with the Force allowed him to continue riding his speeder bike while braving an Imperial orbital bombardment . Behind the scenes . Kanan Jarrus was first revealed as a character from the forthcoming animated series " Star Wars Rebels " at the January 2014 , where Jarrus was included on the packaging of the " LEGO Star Wars Rebels " " Ghost " model . However , the packaging merely represented Jarrus ' s LEGO mini - figure as a silhouetted form holding a blue - bladed lightsaber . On February 11 , 2014 , Lucasfilm began a promotional campaign to introduce the characters of " Star Wars Rebels " , starting with Kanan Jarrus . " " ran an online story featuring an exclusive first look at Jarrus ' s character and announcing that he would be voiced by actor Freddie Prinze Jr . The story included a Lucasfilm production video revealing the character ' s full design . According to the StarWars . com blogger James Burns , the name Kanan was based on a road in . Burns also pointed out that Kanan had different meanings in several different cultures including forest , friend , or guide . In , the word " kanan " means trader or merchant . He also suggested that the name was a reference to the land of . The decision to make Kanan blind in " Twilight of the Apprentice " was inspired by the samurai films . Non - canon history . Kanan Jarrus appears in " Angry Birds Star Wars II " . He was co - piloting the " Ghost " when Sabine Wren and Hera Syndulla rescued the orphan Ezra Bridger and escaped from Agent Kallus . In the " LEGO Star Wars Rebels Movie Shorts " , Jarrus , Orellios , Syndulla , and were drinking in the Mos Eisley Cantina when Ezra Bridger called for a rescue . They went to the " Ghost " and rescued the young orphan from the " Phantom " . Bridger then suggested they charge the Star Destroyer ' s bridge and hide behind it , and eventually the warship jumped to hyperspace . At another time , the " Ghost " was damaged by a Star Destroyer , forcing it to go to a space station for repairs . Jarrus and Orrelios left in escape pods and made it to a planet . Bridger rescued them and took them to the station in time to finish repairs to their starship and flee from Imperials .
