Kanan Jarrus or Cal Kestis?

Star wars Kanan Jarrus and Cal Kestis have a lot in common, but who is the more powerful Jedi overall? Kanan Jarrus was originally introduced in the animated series. Star Wars Rebels as a Jedi in hiding and an integral member of the Wraith Team. The Phantom Team was part of the fledgling Rebel Alliance, helping wherever needed while Rebel cells were scattered throughout the galaxy. Despite the trauma of surviving Order 66, Kanan eventually revealed his Jedi status to the galaxy, and the rest is history.

However, as we now know, Kanan was far from the only survivor of Order 66 in the galaxy. As shown in the game Star Wars Jedi: Fallen OrderAnother young Jedi survived the ordeal, crash-landing on the junk planet Brakka and hiding until it was time to reveal his true identity. Cal Kestis for two Star Wars Jedi games, become an integral character in Star wars canon. With the third Jedi game approaching, there’s a chance he’ll become even more powerful, but will he surpass Kanan Jarrus? Or has he already done it?

Kal and Kanan were Padawans during Order 66

It is important to note that Kal and Kanan were still Padawans when Order 66 was passed. As shown Star Wars: The Bad BatchThe feature film’s pilot, Kanan, then named Caleb Dume, was sent to the snowy planet Culler with his teacher, Jedi Council member Depa Billaboy. Once the clones attacked the Jedi, Depa gave Caleb enough time to escape, and he managed to escape with the help of altered clone troopers from Clone Squad 99.

Likewise, Cal and his teacher Jaro Tapal were on a Republic Star Destroyer above Brakka during the Republic’s invasion of the planet. When Order 66 was issued, Tapal told Cal that he would meet him at the escape pods, but Tapal never made it. Cal crash-landed on Brakka, clutching his Master’s old lightsaber to his chest, and spent the following years hiding out as a scavenger on the dangerous planet.

During the Clone Wars, most Padawans served as commanders of the Grand Army of the Republic. This may have meant that the Padawans of the Clone Wars era had more practical experience than most other generations of Jedi Padawans, but they were still Padawans. They never completed their training. They never participated in the Jedi Trials and were never knighted “officially” (both Kal and Kanan were eventually knighted in an unconventional way). This may have hindered Kal and Kanan’s progress and growth, but it ultimately became an important part of who they were as Jedi when they began to resist the might of the Empire.

Both Jedi disconnected from the Force before joining the Rebellion.

Both Cal and Kanan were cut off from the Force after Order 66. This was partly because they needed to remain hidden – Darth Vader and his Inquisitors were after all scouring the galaxy for surviving Jedi – and partly because it was easier to forget the painful trauma Order 66, when they stopped serving the will of the Force. Cal kept his Master’s old lightsaber secret, and Kanan modified his own so that it could be disassembled and hidden in plain sight.

Their broken bonds did mean that when they were forced to open up (Cal saving his friend’s life by using the Force after a work accident, and Kanan becoming involved in the Rebellion, ultimately rescuing a troupe of captive Wookiees from the clutches of the Empire), it took time. so that they can regain their connection with the Force. At first, much of what they achieved was achieved through instinct rather than true skill. Cal especially needed time to become reacquainted with the Force and relearn abilities he had allowed himself to forget, including basic skills such as Force push and Force pull.

How did Kal and Kanan stand up to the Empire?

Kal and Kanan became an integral part of the fight against the Empire, each in their own way. Kanan eventually joined up with Rebel pilot Hera Syndulla and, along with other members of the Wraith Team they picked up along the way, became a true and present threat to the Empire. But most importantly, Kanan took on a Padawan, a young Force-sensitive boy he found on the streets of Lothal named Ezra Bridger. Ezra’s training changed the way Kanan saw and interacted with the Force. Kanan eventually defeated the Grand Inquisitor, Darth Vader’s most powerful Jedi hunter.

However, Kanan’s true potential as a Jedi was only truly revealed later, after his fateful duel with Darth Maul. During the duel, Maul permanently blinded Kanan. Although it took some time to adapt, Kanan learned to see through the Force, becoming more in tune with his role as a Jedi and Master than ever before. Kanan’s most impressive feat came near the end Star Wars Rebels when, unfortunately, he sacrificed himself to save Ezra, Hera and the Mandalorian Sabine Wren from an Imperial fuel tank explosion.

Using all his strength, he held back the raging inferno with the Force while pushing back his friends’ ship. In that moment, Kanan was so connected to the Force, so in tune with his purpose, that he even momentarily regained his sight, allowing him to look at his loved ones one last time. This moment forever changed the trajectory of the Empire. This gave his Padawan Ezra Bridger the courage to sacrifice his own future, exiling Grand Admiral Thrawn and freeing Lothal once and for all.

Cal, of course, was no fool either. After escaping Bracca with the help of Mantis’ crew, he regained his sense of purpose. He gained a new mentor in former Jedi Master Cere Junda, regained his Force abilities step by step during his adventures with Team Mantis, and ultimately stopped the Empire from acquiring a list of Force-sensitive children.

Cal has also survived encounters with numerous Inquisitors – ultimately killing one of them – and has survived or won conflicts with other dark side Force users.including Darth Vader, Taron Malicos, Dagan Hera and Bode Acuna. Cal also defeated the Gen’Dai warrior Ravis, a fearsome hunter who had killed numerous other Jedi during the High Republic era and beyond. During all of these events and many more, Cal truly emerged as a Jedi; he’s even returned from the brink of the dark side.

One Jedi Has More Powers Than Another

Objectively measuring a Jedi’s power level is nearly impossible; different Jedi value different aspects of the Jedi religion and its connection to the Force. Some prefer knowledge and wisdom over brute force, some Jedi choose to refer to a Jedi’s skill with a lightsaber, while others simply look at the strength and breadth of a Jedi’s Force-related abilities. Considering everything Kan and Kanan had been through and had to do to survive, their physical skills as Jedi were more important than anything else.

Overall, Cal Kestis boasts more Force abilities than Kanan Jarrus.. Some of this is due to the need for video games to succeed as a storytelling device, as the player and Cal have to navigate through countless fights and puzzles, and gather information in interesting ways. As such, Cal possesses a rare Force ability called Psychometry, which allows him to see fragments of Force-infused memories within an object. He also has all the basic Force skills and more, including wall running and beast taming. Additionally, Cal is incredibly skilled with a lightsaber (in its many forms) and a blaster.

However, it’s impossible to deny Kanan’s intrinsic connection to the Force—especially after being blinded by Maul. He also learned to communicate with the Force with the help of the Bendu, one of the most powerful and ancient Force-sensitive beings in the franchise. His lightsaber skills and range of Force abilities may not be as impressive as Cal’s, but Kanan was certainly powerful in his own right. However, since the third Star Wars Jedi With the game reportedly in development, Cal will only become stronger, surpassing Kanan Jarrus even at the peak of his power. How will it be Star wars does the story continue?
