This iconic Star Wars Legends character was the inspiration for another Sequel trilogy character.
The Big Picture As Ahsoka Tano and her companions continued their desperate search for Grand Admiral Thrawn in Episode 3 of Ahsoka, fans got a glimpse of a familiar face. Even more interesting, this character just so happens to share the same first name as a crucial figure from the now-defunct Legends canon. When The Walt Disney Company purchased Lucasfilm and thus Star Wars in 2012, a new canon was established to make way for a new trilogy of films set after the original trilogy.
Who is Jacen Syndulla in 'Star Wars Rebels'? In Episode 3 of Ahsoka, audiences are reintroduced to New Republic general Hera Syndulla's young son, Jacen Syndulla . Jacen is the product of an on-again, off-again love story between Hera and Jedi Knight Kanan Jarrus . This takes place all while Hera, Kanan, and the rest of the Ghost crew fight against the Imperial regime corrupting the Galaxy.
Leia was pregnant with Jacen and Jaina when Grand Admiral Thrawn, along with a deranged Jedi clone named Joruus C'baoth, tried to revive the defeated Galactic Empire. Jacen and Jaina were born not long before those two Imperial leaders were ultimately defeated, though the children predictably became targets of the Imperial Remnant given their genetic association to the Skywalker family.
Over the next few years, Jacen studied the ways of the Force and came to the ultimate conclusion that the only path to Galactic peace was for him to turn to the dark side. Like his grandfather before him, Jacen became a new Sith figurehead known as Darth Caedus. The atrocities the new Sith Lord committed are almost too severe to list here, and his reign of terror would eventually be brought to a halt when he was killed by his twin sister Jaina.
