The Jedi Order had 10,000 knights protecting the galaxy at the height of their power, and the Star Wars movies and TV shows have featured 116 so far.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Ever since Star Wars was first released in 1977, each subsequent movie and TV show has added more Jedi to the franchise. While the original trilogy was limited in this regard due to the Jedi being largely extinct, the number of onscreen Jedi shot up drastically during the prequel trilogy. Countless Jedi was created to showcase the Jedi Order in its prime, and the TV shows were later able to give these Jedi greater attention.
Return Of The Jedi Anakin Skywalker Though Anakin Skywalker's backstory wouldn't be fleshed out until 1999, he returned to the light side in Return of the Jedi. Luke Skywalker proudly proclaimed "I am a Jedi like my father before me" and Anakin's Force ghost showed that the former Jedi had indeed returned at the end.
Depa Billaba Depa Billaba was orphaned by pirates as a child and rescued by Mace Windu, who trained her as his Padawan. After achieving the rank of Jedi Master, she was offered a seat on the Jedi High Council and later trained a Padawan named Kanan Jarrus. She sacrificed herself during Order 66 to save Kanan when their clone troopers turned on them.
Luminara Unduli Jedi Master Luminara trained Barris Offee and was arrested and executed following Order 66. Her remains were later used to lure Jedi out of hiding, a trap that Kanan Bridger and Ezra Bridger fell into in 5 BBY. Her spirit was one of the many Jedi voices who aided Rey on Exegol in 35 ABY.
Star Wars: The Clone Wars Asajj Ventress Although Asajj Ventress was a Sith assassin and later a bounty hunter for most of Star Wars: The Clone Wars, a flashback in season 3 showed her being trained as a Jedi by Ky Narec. She turned to the dark side after her master's death and was recruited by Count Dooku, who later betrayed and attempted to kill her. Ventress eventually sacrificed herself to save Quinlan Vos and was laid to rest with her fellow Nightsisters on Dathomir.
Kanan Jarrus Kanan Jarrus was the Padawan learner of Jedi Master Depa Billaba, who sacrificed herself while urging Kanan to run during Order 66. He carried the guilt of abandoning the Jedi Order for years but was eventually able to overcome his fear and train Ezra Bridger as a Jedi. Kanan died on Lothol in 1 BBY while saving his friends from an explosion.
Rey Skywalker Because the first two sequel trilogy films take place back to back, Rey did not truly become a Jedi until The Rise of Skywalker. She faced her ultimate trial when she learned that Palpatine was her grandfather, but with the help of all the Jedi who came before, she was able to beat him and live to restore the New Jedi Order.
Jedi Characters Obi-Wan Kenobi Reva Sevander Reva Sevander was once a Jedi youngling who watched in horror as Anakin Skywalker slaughtered the only family she ever knew. She swore revenge and became an Inquisitor to rise through the ranks and kill him, but she failed when the opportunity came. Obi-Wan Kenobi helped her let go of her need for revenge, leaving the dark side behind and venturing out into the galaxy.
