star wars - Which Jedi have served in the Rebellion?


Besides Luke Skywalker, Kanan Jarrus, Ezra Bridger and Ahsoka Tano, which other Jedi, regardless of whether they were survivors of Order 66 or became one at a later point, served within the Rebellion's ranks during the Galactic Civil War?


Looking for both canon and Legends versions.


Edit: ok, just to clarify what would qualify as a Jedi for the answer. Loosely speaking, anyone who follow the ideals of the Jedi philosophy - a practitioner in the ways of the Force, a protector of the galaxy, and an opposer to the dark side - would count.



  • Only trained Force users, not aligned with the dark side, would count. They need to be able to consciously control their use of the Force to aid the Rebellion. This excludes Leia

  • Members of the Jedi Order of the late Republic would obviously count. However, they need to have survived Order 66 (duh), did not renounce the Jedi ways nor succumbed to the dark side, and become a member of the Rebellion. This excludes the Grand Inquisitor nor Darth Vader, but includes Kanan Jarrus and, in Legends, Rahm Kota. Those who are killed in action after joining the Rebellion also count.

  • However, you don't need to be an official member of the order to be counted. You could be opposed to what was wrong with the late order, but as long as you follow the ideals defined above, and identify with them, you are a Jedi at heart by the count of this question. This counts Ahsoka Tano, Luke Skywalker and Ezra Bridger among its number. They aren't in the old Jedi Order's roster, but they believe in what the Jedi are meant to be, and follow its ways in that regard. Galen Marek in Legends, when he genuinely turned to the ways of the light, even though he was still a user of dark side powers, would be one. It's the thought that counts.


So loosely speaking, that means members of the Rebellion who are trained Force sensitives and genuine good guys.

story identification - Animation: floating island, flying pests

At least 20 years ago I watched a short animated film which stuck in my mind. The whole thing was wordless, possibly European, and I'm pretty sure I didn't imagine it... It featured a flying island which was inhabited by some creatures who (in my memory) reminded me of the Moomins. The island was frequently bothered by large winged animals who swooped around, although I don't think they did any actual damage. At the end one of the moomin creatures suddenly gets a weird feeling, feels forced to climb to the top of the island and then plunges down a shaft right through the centre - only to emerge at the bottom as one of the flyers. Answer Skywhales from 1983. The story begins with a man warning the tribe of approaching skywhales. The drummers then warn everybody of the hunt as everyone get prepared to set "sail". Except one man is found in his home sleeping as the noise wake him up. He then gets ready and is about to take his weapon as he hesitates then decides ...

harry potter - Did Dolores Umbridge Have Any Association with Voldemort (or Death Eaters) before His Return?

I noticed that Dolores Umbridge was born during the first Wizarding War, so it's very likely she wasn't a Death Eater then (but she is pretty evil -- who knows?). After that Voldemort was not around in a way that could affect many people, and most wouldn't know he was planning to rise again. During that time, and up through Voldemort's return (in Goblet of Fire ), did Umbridge have any connection with the Death Eaters or with Voldemort? Was she doing what she did on her own, or was it because of an association with Voldemort or his allies? Answer Dolores Umbridge was definitely not a good person. However, as Sirius points out, "the world isn't split into good people and Death Eaters". Remember that he also says that he doesn't believe Umbridge to be a Death Eater, but that she's evil enough (or something like that). I think there are two strong reasons to believe that: Umbridge was proud to do everything according to the law, except when she trie...

tolkiens legendarium - Did Gandalf wear his Ring of Power throughout the trilogy?

After Gandalf discovered that Sauron was back and sent Frodo on his quest to Rivendell, did he continue to wear Narya (one of the Three Rings)? It seems like a huge risk to continue to wear it after the Nazgûl (Ringwraiths) started to try and reclaim the One Ring; if they managed to get the ring to Sauron, couldn't he be corrupted by his power? Whatever powers Narya bestows upon him couldn't possibly be worth the huge risk, could it? Answer When Sauron forged the one ring and put it on his finger, the other ring bearers were immediately aware of him and his intentions and removed their own rings. There is no reason why they couldn't merely do so again. As soon as Sauron set the One Ring upon his finger they were aware of him; and they knew him, and preceived that he would be master of them, and of all they wrought. Then in anger and fear they took off their rings. "Of the Rings of Power and the Third Age," Silmarillion
