What a cool character to be included in canon, and what a perfect book to make!
“I like the idea of the Jedi being the guardians of peace and justice in the galaxy,” Guggenheim told Polygon in a recent interview. “But it’s surprising how few examples there are – mostly because of the Jedi’s involvement in the Clone Wars. I’m as much of a Clone Wars fan as the next person, but I’m really eager to see Jedi The Knights do their thing on a non-war basis. That’s the great appeal of this new Jedi series: we actually get a chance to see what the Jedi were up to before the Clone Wars and their eventual downfall.
