While more episodes have not been announced yet, with so many Jedi in the Star Wars universe, the series feels ripe for endless storytelling potential. From the major players to the background heroes, here are ten Jedi whose stories would make for a fascinating tale.
Mace Windu
One of the more prominent prequel-era Jedi, Mace Windu served on the Jedi Council and fought in many battles over the course of the Clone Wars. But although he had a considerable amount of screen time in the films andThe Clone Wars, audiences are still in the dark as to who Mace Windu really is.
Given how wellTales of the Jediexpanded Dooku’s character in just a few short episodes, there’s no reason to think the same could not be done for Windu. From his origins to his ascension in the order, there are plenty of missing gaps in his story that could be the basis for a really captivating story about the legendary Jedi.
Kanan Jarrus
A main character in theStar Wars: Rebelsseries, Kanan Jarrus was once a Jedi padawan known as Caleb Dume. After Order 66 and the death of his master, Dume changed his identity and eventually joined what would become one of the first rebel cells.

Though Kanan has had much more screen time than manyStar Warsprotagonists, there still exist moments in his life that could be done well in a series like this. Kanan’s younger years and first encounters with the likes of Sabine and Zeb are just some of the stories we have yet to see from the last padawan.
Plo Koon might look like just another background Jedi at first glance, but when you start to dig deeper into his character, you see somebody that really does need a day in the spotlight. A Jedi who is as powerful as he is wise, it should come as no surprise to find out that Plo Koon has become a fan-favorite amongStar Warsfans (and that includesClone WarscreatorDave Filoni!).
Despite the character’s early life being uncovered somewhat in the expanded universe, the new canon has seldom touched the council member. With a backstory that is shrouded in mystery, what could be better for this character than for his history to be expanded by his absolute biggest fan?
Better known as the villainous Kylo Ren, Ben Solo is unlike a lot of other Jedi characters in that most of his history has been covered in various spin-off material. However, even with all of these stories, the master of the Knights of Ren has plenty of untapped story potential left in him.
Episodes focusing on Ben Solo could focus on his days as an apprentice under Luke Skywalker, and demonstrate how their relationship turned sour. We could also see him during his time as Kylo Ren, which would also allow characters like Snoke and the other Knights of Ren to be explored as well.
Cere Junda
A main character in EA’sJedi: Fallen Ordergame, Cere was a Jedi who survived Order 66. Although she escaped, the younglings whom she cared for were not as lucky, a fact that haunts her even years afterward.

With a backstory that’s just as interesting as the protagonist’s, if not more so, an animated showcase of Junda during the era of the Galactic Republic would be a great companion piece to the video game andits upcoming sequel. Throw in her adventurous master Eno Cordova, and you have the makings of a truly memorable Jedi story!
