As a lifelong Star Wars fan, I've been captivated by the sheer depth of the Jedi Order across every medium. With Disney+ expanding the universe and theatrical films returning, it’s thrilling to imagine which legendary Jedi could leap from comics and games to live-action. These characters aren’t just names—they’re pillars of untold stories, wielding lightsabers in eras ripe for exploration. Their absence onscreen feels like a hologram waiting to flicker to life. Let’s dive into ten who deserve the spotlight.

Porter Engle: The Unbreakable Blade

Porter Engle’s legacy in The High Republic comics is etched in lightsaber lore. Known as the "Blade of Bardotta," this centuries-old warrior carved through Outer Rim chaos with chilling precision. His mythic reputation—forged in battles against the Nihil—makes him a walking legend. Imagine him anchoring a gritty Disney+ series, his stoic presence contrasting with the High Republic’s golden idealism. What secrets hide beneath that weathered cloak? 😏

Stellan Gios: The Sacrificial Strategist

Stellan Gios wasn’t just a Council Master—he was the High Republic’s moral compass. His ornate broadsword lightsaber symbolized his blend of elegance and resolve. 🗡️ In novels like The Rising Storm, he grappled with political rot while the Nihil’s shadow grew. A live-action prequel could dissect his bond with Avar Kriss and Elzar Mann. How did a leader so steadfast choose martyrdom?

Keeve Trennis: From Doubt to Destiny

Keeve Trennis’ arc is pure drama. Cavan Scott’s comics show her evolving from a self-questioning Knight to a Marshall who later quit the Order—joining the infamous Lost Twenty. Her turmoil mirrors Luke’s journey but twists into uncharted territory. A limited series could frame her as the High Republic’s emotional core. Would her exit shock or inspire us?

Elzar Mann: The Unorthodox Visionary

Elzar Mann bent Jedi dogma like light through a prism. His Force visions in Light of the Jedi foreshadowed catastrophe, yet he acted with gut-driven loyalty. 🌀 Live-action needs this maverick—imagine him clashing with Council traditions while battling Nihil raiders. His intensity could redefine what a Jedi "should" be.

Avar Kriss: The Symphony of the Force

Avar Kriss didn’t just wield the Force—she conducted it. Her ability to harmonize Jedi during crises made her the High Republic’s ultimate unifier. Picture this: a battle scene where her power manifests as golden soundwaves weaving through allies. 🔮 She’s begging for a theatrical film cameo. Would her theme echo John Williams or something... newer?

Kirak Infil'a: Vader’s Forgotten Trial

Kirak Infil'a’s solitude shattered when Vader came hunting. In the 2017 Darth Vader comics, this lightsaber-forging hermit became a dark milestone—the Jedi whose kyber crystal fueled Vader’s crimson blade. Adapting this duel would expose Vader’s raw early rage. Could Hayden Christensen deliver those lines again?

Tensu Run: The Rebuilder

Tensu Run’s audacity still gives me chills. During the Dark Times, he rallied survivors to rebuild the Order—directly provoking Inquisitors and Vader himself. His fate in the Imperial Inquisitors comics is a tragedy waiting for screen time. A Disney+ special could ask: Can hope outlast oppression?

Kanan Jarrus: The Ghost of Rebels Past

Kanan’s arc in Rebels—from traumatized Padawan to selfless master—remains iconic. His death saved the Spectres, but flashbacks in Ahsoka or a Caleb Dume prequel could deepen his legacy. Freddie Prinze Jr.’s live-action casting feels inevitable. Would his gruff warmth translate off-cartoon?

Cal Kestis: The Bridge Between Eras

Cal Kestis’ games (Fallen Order, Survivor) stitch the prequel and original trilogies together. His quest—first to restore the Order, then to hide from it—mirrors the franchise’s own tension between legacy and reinvention. Cameron Monaghan’s seamless transition to live-action seems obvious. Could BD-1’s beeps steal the show? 🤖

Darth Revan: The Eternal Paradox

Revan’s shadow looms larger than a Star Destroyer. Neither fully Jedi nor Sith, this Knights of the Old Republic legend embodies moral grayness—something modern Star Wars craves. An Old Republic trilogy could reframe redemption itself. But here’s the rub: Would fans accept a canon version of their headcanon hero?

Wrapping this up feels premature. These Jedi aren’t just roster gaps; they’re keys to galaxies we’ve barely scanned. Porter’s grit, Keeve’s doubt, Revan’s duality—they challenge what Jedi mean in 2025. With Dave Filoni steering the ship, I wonder: Will the next saga phase favor familiar faces or risk these raw, complex spirits? Perhaps the real question isn’t who appears, but how their stories reshape the Force’s very echo...
